A Year of Living Under Islamic State

Residents of Mosul talk, HSBC axe jobs, Fifa movie 'bombs' on its opening weekend.

A BBC investigation into life in the Iraqi city of Mosul one year after its capture by Islamic State fighters has found that the group now controls most aspects of life, from dress codes to schools, which residents say are being used to indoctrinate children. Mobile phone signals have been cut off and news is strictly controlled.

One of the world's biggest banks, HSBC, has announced details of a major cost-cutting exercise. It is to axe up to 25,000 jobs around the world as it tries to reduce costs. The Fifa funded movie United Passions, about football's governing body is reported to have 'bombed' on its opening weekend, with reports suggesting only $600 in ticket sales in America.
