Syria conflict: Exclusive BBC report from inside IS-held Manbij

The BBC's Feras Kilani gets exclusive access to the Syrian town of Manbij, where an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters are fighting to drive out the so-called Islamic State (IS).

The Syrian Defence Forces (SDF) encircled the northern city last month, trapping thousands of civilians, and fighting is taking place street by street.

Our reporter is the first international journalist to get inside Manbij since the start of the battle to force IS out.
