Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Islamic State in Iraq: 'How I survived an IS massacre' - BBC News

Ali Hussein Kadhim, an Iraqi soldier and a Shia Muslim, was captured in the city of Tikrit by so-called Islamic State militants in June 2014. He says he will never forget what happened next to him and an estimated 1,700 military cadets. The cadets, many of them young teenagers starting their careers in the military, were lined up in groups and shot. This is Kadhim’s own account of how he "miraculously" escaped the massacre at Camp Speicher. UK viewers can watch 'Once Upon a Time in Iraq: Episode 5' on Monday 10 August at 21:00 BST on BBC Two and on BBC iPlayer.
