Should IS Teenager Be Allowed Back Into UK?

Shamima Begum joined the Islamic State militant group aged 15, but is now living in a refugee camp.

Shamima Begum joined the Islamic State militant group aged 15, but is now living in a refugee camp. Now aged 19, she's pregnant and wants to return to the UK to give birth. Speaking to the Times newspaper, she showed little remorse over her involvement with the terrorist organisation. So should Britain allow her back?

Also in the programme: at least 30 members of India's security forces are killed in a bombing in Kashmir; and new research indicates it may be possible to rejuvenate ageing brains using drugs.
