Orla Guerin

Hello, I'm Orla from BBC TV. We were taken to meet a detainee who didn't want to be named. He's 28 and hoping one day to get back to Australia. He said he was speaking freely, but on the key questions, he had little to say. Do you have blood on your hands? Were you involved in killing anybody with IS? Yes.

This was IS in its heyday in the city of Raqqa in 2014. It brutalised one third of Syria and Iraq before it was driven out five years later. A key role in that defeat was played by the SDF, mostly Kurdish forces backed by the US. General Masloom Abdi, commander of the SDF, tells us IS is now gearing up again.

And the hope has grown in places like Roj camp, It's a bleak and windswept expanse of tents, home to almost 3,000 women and children, never tried or convicted. They are the families of IS fighters and supporters. I'm with the manager of the camp. For security reasons, she doesn't want to be named. Can I ask you, what has the mood in the camp been like since the fall of the Assad regime?

There are growing fears that IS will attempt to free its people from camps and prisons here in the northeast. That's just one of the threats facing the new Syria.
