Iraq and Trinidad and Tobago

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Richard Galpin hears what it's been like for Iraqis to be in the path of Isis as the militant group even Al Qaeda sees as too extremist continues its sweep south. He hears why the only town in which they've encountered real resistance, is more than just strategic; It's the Iraqi government's last stand, before Baghdad...; The diplomatic storm that's gathered in the former British territory of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. Fed up with the levels of violence and distraught at the youth of recent victims, locals seem prepared to hear some searing home truths, says Sunity Maharaj.
