:01:23. > :01:32.They have been telling their incredible stories to our
:01:33. > :01:40.correspondent. This is what freedom feels like.
:01:41. > :01:49.Relief, joy. Recalling their memories. But for some of the crew,
:01:50. > :01:53.it was a lot to handle. Four years in captivity is a long time and it
:01:54. > :02:02.took its toll on these men. They took desperate measures to survive.
:02:03. > :02:08.It was like the walking dead. How did you survive? Eat anything. Even
:02:09. > :02:12.if it is something you don't like. But you feel hungry, you eat, you
:02:13. > :02:18.eat. You don't say, I don't like that. You just eat, you eat
:02:19. > :02:31.everything. Whatever you are given? Yes. Rat, we cook it in the forest.
:02:32. > :02:34.After almost two years of negotiations, they are freed and
:02:35. > :02:42.being received by members of their diplomatic missions in Kenya. It's a
:02:43. > :02:47.sign of how intense a problem piracy has been off the coast of Somalia,
:02:48. > :02:52.not just for commercial activity but for general seafarers across the
:02:53. > :02:56.ocean. Patrols by international navies led to a sharp decline in
:02:57. > :03:00.piracy in these waters. But it meant little for the hostages already
:03:01. > :03:05.seized, especially those that are not Westerners. These poor guys,
:03:06. > :03:12.their ships were not insured. Their ships got racks and then they were
:03:13. > :03:16.brought ashore. -- got wrecked. The Pirates assumed it would be the same
:03:17. > :03:24.as the big, highly insured ships. It is not. Getting them to change their
:03:25. > :03:29.demands, down to what you might term compensation for the local
:03:30. > :03:35.community, that is the challenge. Is that why it took so long to get
:03:36. > :03:41.them? I guess so, yes. This video shows the crew while they were still
:03:42. > :03:45.being held. Their captors, keeping a close watch. Today they are free.
:03:46. > :03:47.Some of them say they will return to their jobs at sea. A brave move,
:03:48. > :03:51.after their ordeal. It's almost a week on since
:03:52. > :03:54.the military offensive to re-take But now the so-called Islamic State
:03:55. > :03:59.have opened up a new front The group claims it has re-captured
:04:00. > :04:05.more than half of Rutba, The Mayor of Rutba says IS fighters
:04:06. > :04:12.gained access through sleeper cells. Well the attack comes just two days
:04:13. > :04:15.after Islamic State fighters tried to take the city of Kirkuk,
:04:16. > :04:20.which is just south of Mosul. It's thought as pressure builds
:04:21. > :04:23.on IS in and around Mosul the group is trying to divert attention
:04:24. > :04:30.away from the battle. Our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil
:04:31. > :04:34.is in Irbil in Northern Iraq. The Peshmerga forces have launched
:04:35. > :04:36.a two pronged offensive towards Mosul today,
:04:37. > :04:37.from the north-eastern side, They were supported by coalition air
:04:38. > :04:46.power and we understand that they are now as close as nine
:04:47. > :04:49.kilometres away from Mosul itself, and have captured
:04:50. > :04:53.a number of villages. But we're hearing of a separate
:04:54. > :04:56.attack by so-called Islamic State in the southern
:04:57. > :05:01.Anbar Province today. The Mayor of the city of Rutbah has
:05:02. > :05:04.said that the so-called Islamic State fighters have entered
:05:05. > :05:06.the city from three different directions and that they have
:05:07. > :05:08.clashed with the police forces He has also urged the Iraqi
:05:09. > :05:18.leadership for reinforcements. We understand the battle
:05:19. > :05:20.is still on going there This particular city
:05:21. > :05:27.was recaptured quite recently from the so-called Islamic State,
:05:28. > :05:30.four months ago it was recaptured. But now, it seems, it is still quite
:05:31. > :05:36.heavily contested today. That, plus the Kirkuk attack
:05:37. > :05:41.that happened on Friday, shows the pattern now by IS that
:05:42. > :05:44.could want to detract from the fighting in the main

:16:21. > :16:29.once they have taken that area, I think going into Mosul
:16:30. > :16:31.becomes easy. so we are still a way away before

:19:38. > :19:45.trying to find positives. The team played well, if you can delete the
:19:46. > :19:49.defensive mistakes that we made. Courtois had more work than David De
:19:50. > :19:54.Gea. Their central defenders have more work than my central defenders.
:19:55. > :19:58.We were in control for long periods, we put the ball in the box many
:19:59. > :20:08.times, we had chances and half chances. I told the players at

:20:15. > :20:23.was not for is to score 2-1, it was for them to score another on the
:20:24. > :20:26.counterattack. I am pleased that it increases the confidence, I am
:20:27. > :20:38.pleased for the players. Every day, I see the commitment. They deserve
:20:39. > :20:41.this. Mourinho is not the Chelsea manager, ignore that caption. You

:20:45. > :20:57.for Pep Guardiola's side. The difference between the first
:20:58. > :21:01.half and the second half, it depends on the play and the manager. So
:21:02. > :21:06.credit to the players, the way they upped the tempo? Of course. They
:21:07. > :21:10.changed the game, I didn't. When we are playing that well, we are able
:21:11. > :21:16.to do whatever we want. When you equalised, did you think you had
:21:17. > :21:19.foundation to win it? Yes, but it is not easy. Southampton defender well,
