Concern for civilians caught in the crossfire between Iraqi forces and IS militants

Concern for civilians caught in the crossfire between Iraqi government forces and Islamic State militants.

There's concern for civilians caught in the crossfire between Iraqi government forces and Islamic State militants. We speak to journalist Ammar Karim who's been at the front line in recent days. Also in the programme, we hear about an Egyptian police investigation into the death of a teenage girl following a female genital mutilation procedure at a private hospital. And how would you like to own a bit of footballing history? Brazilian icon Pele puts his all his football memorabilia up for sale.
