its final stand. fighting their way into the heart of the caliphate, a fragile coalition of power is great and small, of arabs and kurds, of men and women. this fighter is in command of thousands of fighters on the raqqa frontline. together, these men and women make up the syrian democratic forces. it is an alliance that includes arabs, but is led by the kurds. their success against islamic state has come thanks, in no small part, to battle from the united states. americans have quietly pilled up a presence on the ground, providing weapons, training and firepower. this command and the

units are on the western front. it isa units are on the western front. it is a tight squeeze inside a home—made truck with a couple of her fighters driving towards the centre of raqqa —— built. it's a posted be surrounded inside the city. —— islamic state are supposed to be surrounded. but islamic state have dug tunnels and they frequently pep-up dug tunnels and they frequently pop—up when you don't expect them. " p0p pop—up when you don't expect them. “ p0p up- pop—up when you don't expect them. —— pop up. these fighters are coming up —— pop up. these fighters are coming up against islamic state snipers in all of the streets around here. other than that, they've got drones, suicide car bombs. this is going to bea suicide car bombs. this is going to be a very, very hard fight into the centre of raqqa. inching their way into the city, house by house. some fighters are so close they can hear islamic state in the building across

the street. this is of course a battle for territory, fighting to ta ke battle for territory, fighting to take control of the capital of the caliphate. there is something happening here. everyone is bringing into action as if they've got some islamic state snipers in the buildings around. should we go? yes. what's going on? they now face islamic state at perhaps its most dangerous. wounded, cornered and with nothing left to lose. but the fall of islamic state is within sight. president trump has congratulated the government of iraq on defeating islamic state in the city of mosul. but as celebrations continue, hopes and worries about what happens

next are already forming. members of a 72—nation coalition are meeting in washington later to work out how a stable future can be secured. caroline davies reports. so—called islamic state appears to be on the back foot. in iraq, they've lost mosul. translation: our victory today is a victory against darkness, against brutality and against terrorism. in syria, us—backed forces are closing in on raqqa, but this is not the end of the battle. there are a number of isis fighters still left in iraq that'll have to be defeated before we've won the war. meetings are planned in washington this week to stop victories turning to defeat and chaos. so what happens next? even if is do lose the cities, it doesn't mean they're defeated. the group could go underground, which could create a new set of problems.

one of the first questions diplomats will want to know is, what will be done to rebuild after is? there's worry that if power—sharing is handled badly, more people might become is converts. there's also concern that as is pull out, iran will be able to increase its influence. much of mosul is in ruins with no water or electricity. nearly a million of its people have fled. as aid agencies call out for money, the memories of iraq in 2003 will be ringing in many people's ears, but who will be paying for the peace and what will be the price if no one steps in? caroline davies, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. at least five people have been killed when a marine corps plane crashed in the us state of mississippi. the c—130 military aircraft left tennessee, and it's believed it exploded mid—air before crashing

into a field. police say the plane was loaded with ammunition, so emergency teams are having to keep their distance. the united states, britain and kuwait have called for a negotiated settlement to the dispute between qatar and some of its arab neighbours. a joint statement was issued at the start of a tour of the region by the us secretary of state, rex tillerson. the row erupted over a month ago when saudi arabia and three of its allies broke all links with qatar, accusing it of promoting terrorism. an unmanned nasa spacecraft has flown over the most recognisable feature of the planetjupiter — the great red spot — to study its structure and origins. the probe, named juno, passed nine thousand kilometres above the planet to gather the first close—up data on the spot, which is a vast, centuries—old storm. rachel home is here with all the business news. the world of work is changing but are employment and tax laws keeping up? here in the uk, a government review is calling for workers

in the so called gig economy to get new rights. these are people using technology to take short term jobs, such as driving for uber or deliveroo. this type of companies offer flexibility over hours, but often with lower pay and poorer conditions. the taylor review says there should be a new category of worker called a dependent contractor. they would get benefits such as some form of minimum wage and sick pay. this is relevant to more and more people around the world. mckinsey found that across the eu and us, 20 to 30% of people are involved in the gig economy. that's as many as 162 million people worldwide. for about 44% of them it's their primary source of income so the rights they get can make a big difference. the european union is currently

looking at how it can make sure gig economy workers can get similar "social protections" such as out of work benefits and employment services as those in traditionaljobs. in the world's biggest economy, the us, two senators have proposed portable benefits including paid leave, training and unemployment insurance that move with individuals across differentjobs. one of russia's biggest cold war naval bases is still running up the bills — but notjust for the government in moscow. western nations are giving russia more than $100 million to clean up what is regarded as one of the most toxic sites in the huge country. the european bank of reconstruction and development, which is behind the scheme, says it's a price worth paying to prevent the facility in andreyeva bay turning into another nuclear disaster. don't forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter, i'm @bbcrachelhorne. president trump's eldest son is facing further allegations about a meeting he held with a russian lawyer during last year's us election campaign. the new york times says
