Besieged by U.S. coalition airstrikes and advances by the Syrian Democratic Forces, ISIS fighters are nearly surrounded in Raqqa, the Syrian city that is the group's de facto capital.

A team from CBS is the first American TV crew to report from inside Raqqa. Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with CBS News foreign correspondent Holly Williams (@HollyMAWilliams), who is part of that team.
