Iraq Christmas service takes place in Mosul after IS defeat 
A Christmas service at a church in the Iraqi city of Mosul has taken place for the first time since militants from the so-called Islamic State (IS) were driven out of the region.
Under IS the public performance of any Christian rituals was dangerous and difficult.
Many Christians fled persecution, with IS forcing worshippers to convert to Islam, pay a tax or face death.
Iraqi forces defeated IS in Mosul in July.
