Iraqi Forces Enter Mosul Airport

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Iraqi Forces Enter Mosul Airport

Reports of fierce fighting between the army and Islamic State militants

The airport is of strategic importance in the government offensive aimed at driving Islamic State militants from the western half of Mosul. There've been reports of fierce fighting between the army and Islamic State militants who are holding several buildings.

Also in the programme, the US secretary of State, Rex Tillerson travels to Mexico, we hear the view from there.

And are you eating 10 portions of fruit and vegetables today? If you want to live longer, you should be.
