Outlook Weekend: Caged

The vet saving zoo animals in Iraq and the ex-prisoner reforming life behind bars

Dr Amir Khalil puts his life on the line to save animals in conflict zones. Recently, he and his team of vets risked sniper fire from so-called Islamic State militants to rescue a bear and a lion from a zoo in war-torn Mosul, Iraq.
