For more, we go live to our correspondent Jack Barton, who is now in the city of Erbil in Iraq.
Q1. Jack, tell me how are conditions on the ground in the fight against ISIL? And as the coalition army pushes deeper into the city, how will the attack be coordinated?
Q 2. The UN worries there may be humanitarian problems in Mosul. Jack, you have made it into the city... tell us what have you seen, and how are people's living conditions there?
