Syria: Civilians evacuate from last IS enclave
Lorries have been seen evacuating people from Baghuz, the last village held by IS.
At least 15 vehicles carrying men, women and children have been seen leaving the village of Baghuz in eastern Syria. The village is the last enclave held by the Islamic State group in the country. We hear the latest on what's happening and what this means for IS.
In Kashmir, the BBC has been speaking to the family of the suicide bomber who killed 40 paramilitary police last week. The bombing heightened regional tensions between India and Pakistan, and has led to retaliations against Kashmiris.
And we have been hearing all week about Shamima Begum, the teenager who left England to join IS in Syria and now wants to return to the UK. But how have other countries who have faced this issue acted? And is it different around the world?
