Iraqi Forces Capture Mosul Airport From Islamic State

US backed Iraqi security forces have re-captured Mosul airport from the so-called Islamic State group.

The troops are reported to have gained ground in outlying areas to the south of Iraq's second largest city, since launching a new phase of a four month long offensive to retake it from the militants.

But the UN is warning thousands of civilians could be displaced, as our correspondent at UN headquarters in New York Liling Tan reports.
