Inside Raqqa: the battle to recapture Islamic State's 'capital'

Featuring a special report from Gabriel Gatehouse in Raqqa, the Syrian city which Islamic State regards as the capital of its self-declared caliphate.

We have a special report from Gabriel Gatehouse in Raqqa - the Syrian city which 'Islamic State' regards as the capital of its self-declared caliphate. Also: Andrew Hosken accompanies fire safety officers inspecting Ferrier Point, in East London, a very similar building to Grenfell Tower. And as Theresa May says she'll present a 'generous offer' on safeguarding the rights of EU citizens in the UK, we get reaction from Elena Remigi, an Italian interpreter behind "In Limbo", which brings together testimonies of EU citizens in the UK.
