UN calls for Raqqa fighting 'pause'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As the United Nations calls for a humanitarian pause in the fighting around the Syrian city of Raqqa - we ask what price civilians are paying in the battle against so-called Islamic State. Also the legacy of the Rio Olympics that's failed to materialise: peace. Also: why did the government get its student migration figures so wrong? And the American rabbis who've decided to put the phone down on Donald Trump. Plus why the Chechen leader is calling on divorced couples to get back together.
