The rise of ISIS, explained in 6 minutes
Its history goes back way before the group ever existed.
Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
In the few short years since the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria formed, it has done the seemingly impossible, seizing vast areas of the Middle East to form a mini-state it calls a reincarnation of the ancient Caliphate. It is at war with all its neighbors and virtually the entire world, yet someone remains, and is launching increasingly deadly terror attacks abroad.
To understand how this terrible group came about and how it has grown so powerful, you need to understand the story behind its rise. And that is a story that goes back decades, to long before ISIS existed.

'Hundreds' with suspected links to ISIS escape Syria camp
It's reported hundreds of women and children with suspected links to Islamic State have escaped from a camp in northern Syria. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
The families are said to have broken out as Turkish troops intensified their air and ground assault against Kurdish-led Forces in the area. At least nine people were reported killed when Turkish airstrikes hit a convoy of civilians and fighters. A convoy which our International Editor Lindsey Hilsum had been travelling with earlier in the day. Both the British Prime Minister and the German Chancellor have phoned President Erdogan, urging him to halt the Turkish offensive immediately. President Trump used a tweet to renew his threat of sanctions on Turkey. A warning: there are extremely distressing images in this report...

Iraq crisis: Kurdish fighters appeal for Western airstrikes against Isis
Richard Spencer reports from the town of Jalula in northern Iraq, where Kurdish troops have halted the advance of Isis militants but they say they cannot defeat them without Western help
Kurdish forces, known as the Peshmerga, have held back the Isis advance in Iraq in Jalula in northern Iraq, fighting much more effectively than the Iraqi army forces.
Iraq's Kurds have also used the opportunity to expanded their territory beyond their autonomous region in the northeast, notably taking over the long-prized oil city of Kirkuk.
But the Peshmerga leaders claim it is now fighting a "guerrilla force" that is much better armed with US weapons, left by Iraqi army as they fled.

Iraq Explained -- ISIS, Syria and War
The current crisis in Iraq explained in under 5 minutes.
There is war in Iraq? Again? And the US and Iran are talking about working together? And who is this ISIS Terrorist group that is all over the news? And Religion? Oh dear... When exactly has the world gone mad again?
It is not possible to explain a complicated topic like this without simplification. We are very aware that this video is not painting a full picture of the situation. But we hope that it may lay the foundation on which you can try to do your own research and understand how horribly Fu**ed up the whole situation is.

Inside ISIS's Final Fight | Collapse of the Caliphate
After years of bloody conflict across northern and eastern Syria, the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces have pushed ISIS to the brink of total defeat. The remaining ISIS fighters now wait out their days in a cluster of tiny villages nestled between the Euphrates river and the Iraqi border.
Surrounded, outnumbered, and outgunned, the jihadist group’s last diehard fighters aren’t giving up. And they’re being met by US-backed forces and foreign volunteers, many of whom have traveled thousands of miles for the final fight.
Huddling in the central stairwell for cover, deafened by the roar of rockets hitting the rooms around them, YPG fighters argued furiously over their next move.
“We’re surrounded,” shouted the YPG fighter, “We’re going to have to jump from the balcony and make a run for...

After years of bloody conflict across northern and eastern Syria, the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces have pushed ISIS to the brink of total defeat. The remaining ISIS fighters now wait out their days in a cluster of tiny villages nestled between the Euphrates river and the Iraqi border.
Surrounded, outnumbered, and outgunned, the jihadist group’s last diehard fighters aren’t giving up. And they’re being met by US-backed forces and foreign volunteers, many of whom have traveled thousands of miles for the final fight.
Huddling in the central stairwell for cover, deafened by the roar of rockets hitting the rooms around them, YPG fighters argued furiously over their next move.
“We’re surrounded,” shouted the YPG fighter, “We’re going to have to jump from the balcony and make a run for it.”
They quickly gathered blankets, mattresses and curtains, throwing them to the ground outside to soften the fall. Escaping through the alleyway, the fighters retreated to safety in a nearby outpost as Coalition airstrikes rained down on the besieged house.
On the map, the war against the Islamic State is all but won. But here in the middle Euphrates river valley, where much of the population resents the US-backed forces as alien occupiers, these fighters are likely to face many more sudden ambushes and assaults from within this dense patchwork of orchards and villages, even after the battle for Baghuz is won.
