the so-called islamic states territory one stretched across parts of iraq and syria years of military effort by iraqi and syrian fighters backed by the u.s. force the caliphate to retreat was its last stronghold the syrian democratic forces have called this the end of the caliphate at least in its physical form but stressed to so-called islamic state remains an insurgency threats in both iraq and syria a message echoed by u.s. allies to our mission. there as if you go to work to make sure that the roads islamic terrorism doesn't continue to grow thank you all very much i mean it's just take me seriously in bangor whose syrian fighters have searched the u.s. to keep troops in syria they warn if it pulls out now it will only be a matter of time until the threat of the i.s. grows again. well joining me now in the studio for more on this is iraqi journalist who just recently returned from syria thanks for joining me i mean so the islamic state has now lost all of its territory but do you think this really signals the end of a caliphate if still physically yes because they are not anymore

is it fall of the islamic state caliphate. isita fall of the islamic state caliphate. celebrate for you? i think this is good news and news to celebrate for all people around syria and iraq. as you mentioned earlier, they have suffered a lot alongside from the components of isis. many places, we have lost 100,000 people and 100,000 people have been displaced and many people killed by them and more people ca ptu red killed by them and more people captured and until today there are lots of women and children being ca ptu red lots of women and children being captured by isis and they do not know where they. this news was good for us and it is time for us to celebrate. minorities were really targeted by islamic state and there we re targeted by islamic state and there were many atrocities we have heard about. are there fears of an islamic state insurgency) well, we have worries about two things. as you mentioned earlier in your report, after the defeat from syria, we are worried that the member of isis they might mobilise themselves and they might mobilise themselves and t

of the so—called islamic state.ldren evacuated out of baghouz now searched as they arrive in territory held by the us—backed syrian defence forces. the western—backed kurdish and arab fighters are poised to launch their final assault on the tiny enclave, which is all that's left in is control. but they've been waiting for the families to leave. thousands have done so in recent days, with more reported to have left on saturday, loaded onto at least four trucks. the same fighters waiting to begin their final assault on what's left of is land are also those trying to get civilians to safety. translation: we are now at the end of baghouz. the euphrates river is 700 metres away from us. the camp is one kilometre behind us. we are trying to evacuate most of the civilians after sunset. we are evacuating hundreds — hundreds — of civilians. those who make it out of baghouz will be sent here to al hol, both a detention and refuge centre in northern syria. it's run by the us—backed syrian kurdish fighters, but aid workers have

so that's what the islamic state, which once spanned countries, has now been reduced to.l assault but they have said that before. over the past few weeks, what we've seen is, we have a ceasefire, send in trucks and on those tracks, thousands of is supporters, men, women and their children, will then passed out. —— will then be bussed out. and then there might be another assault again to soften up those die—hard is supporters who are still holding out in baghuz, and then we see yet another ceasefire. the kurds are saying this is the final assault but it may not be the case. regardless of that, clearing the islamic state from this last pocket in syria will be a considerablejob, because they've dug deep in tunnels and it's thought that they've been planning on this assault, planning to defend themselves from this attack for quite some time. it's also worth remembering that the islamic state group's leadership have already fled and that is now, though losing that last remnant of the caliphate, have spread out all across syria and all across iraq, so there we might be witnessi

the islamic state is militarily defeated, does not control territory, but the islamic state as a movementis very much there in syria and iraq and the islamic state organisation will see an insurgency in both iraq and syria. how much support doesn't have amongst local iraqis and syrians especially as they watched the defeat? — — does it have. especially as they watched the defeat? - - does it have. amongst sunnis, particularly in rural areas, and iraqi in areas semi— dominated, it does not remain a successful model because of the fact that they have lost so much territory to the coalition. but they always managed to come back, and ten times thicker and that is the challenge of the situation. there is still a civil war happening in syria, iraq has its challenges. what needs to happen now to contain islamic state and doesn't need to involve a us presence. definitely, is akin to that is a governance both in this area and iraq and the inclusiveness of sorties and to be able to include more sorties —/ sunnis and government. if the al—assad regime ta kes government. if the al—assad regime takes
