'IS resistance weakening' in Mosul operation
Iraqi forces battling Islamic State in Mosul 'make significant gains'.
As Iraqi-led anti-IS coalition forces make progress recapturing Western Mosul coalition spokesman Colonel John Dorrian tells us they'll have to clear out 100,000 buildings from rooftop to cellar; every room and every closet. A top UN official says the Burmese military committed crimes against humanity against the Rohingya Muslim minority but an adviser to Aung San Suu Kyi tells us to "change the subject". Also on the programme: we speak to archaeologists who say they may found a state of Ramses the Great underneath a Cairo slum.
