IS Loses Raqqa

Raqqa - the capital of the self-styled Islamic State caliphate in Syria - has fallen. After four months of fighting, a US-backed militia has taken control of the city. Also: the son of a Maltese journalist killed by a car bomb says she was assassinated for exposing corruption, and South Africa's President sacks a prominent leader from his own alliance partners.
