The United Nations has declared its highest level of emergency in
Iraq as a humanitarian crisis follows the rapid advance of
Islamic State militants. There have been eye-witness accounts of
people beheaded, of whole families buried alive, and there are an
estimated 1.2 million Iraqis internally displaced. Hardtalk
speaks to Masrour Barzani head of intelligence and security in
Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region. Is it the Kurds who can rescue
the state of Iraq and how much outside help do they need to
defeat the jihadists of the so called Islamic State?
