The World Tonight

Available for over a year

US-backed Iraqi forces fighting IS were predicting it would take another six weeks to recapture western Mosul. That is, until today.

James Coomarasamy speaks with the operation's spokesperson, US Colonel John Dorrian. (Photo: A Mosul family and Iraqi forces entering the city. Credit: Getty Images)
