Iraqi troops move into Ramadi centre
Iraqi troops began a final assault on so-called Islamic State in Ramadi.
The Iraqi army moved into the centre of Ramadi, as it continues its attempt to drive back so-called Islamic State. If the army succeeds, it will have big implications both for Iraq and for IS. Also in this programme/podcast: Burundi faces the prospect of African Union troops coming in uninvited; Spain tears up its two-party system; and are we being too precious about heroes of the past?
