Islamic State loses control of the Syrian city of Raqqa. Plus a report on a curious economic marriage between China and Greece and House of Lords term limits.
As the Islamic State Group loses control of the Syrian city of Raqqa -- we hear from a reporter in the city and discuss, in the company of two Syrians, what today's news might mean for the future of their country.
We report on a curious economic marriage: the bride and groom are China and Greece.
Should members of the House of Lords only be able to serve for a maximum of 15 years?
And we talk to George Saunders who won the Man Booker Prize this year.
