There has been more fierce fighting in Iraq as Isis forces battle to control areas in the north and east of the country.

The fate of the country's biggest oil refinery remains unclear, as fighting continues between Sunni jihadists led by Isis, and Iraqi government and Kurdish forces.

The BBC's Fergal Keane went to Jalula in northern Iraq, and obtained exclusive footage of Isis suspects surrendering to Kurdish forces.

Unlike the Iraqi military, the Kurds have strong spirit and a will to fight. They are also, by the way, surprisingly pro-American.
