Should UK repatriate Isis prisoners from Syria?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Forces guarding thousands of IS prisoners - including Shamima Begum - have come under attack in Syria, raising fears they could be freed. The UK's terror watchdog tells us we should follow US demands and repatriate British former jihadists. Also tonight: As Los Angeles counts the cost of the huge wildfires, can the City of Angels ever be the same again? And as sales of protein pots containing them soar, why is the humble hard boiled egg making a comeback?
