Syria: The Fight for Raqqa, Sept 26, 2017

We start tonight with an exclusive report -- on the final stages of the battle for the Syrian city of Raqqa -- the last major stronghold of so-called Islamic State. The current offensive -- led by Arab and Kurdish fighters -- with American and British support -- started in June -- when IS had control of these areas -- across Syria and Iraq. At the time -- IS controlled most of Raqqa -- with these neighbourhoods still populated. But as the population shrinks -- it's thought that only a few hundred IS fighters are holding the centre of the city. The BBC is the only broadcaster to gain access -- to the heart of the last IS stronghold in Syria. Our Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville -- and cameraman Darren Conway -- sent this exclusive report from inside Raqqa.
