Raqqa liberated from Islamic State

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

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. (Picture: A female fighter of Syrian Democratic Forces in Raqqa Credit: Reuters).
