Stephen Sackur talks to chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, Crispin Blunt MP

Stephen Sackur talks to the UK government's chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, Conservative MP Crispin Blunt.

The British government wants parliamentary authorisation to bomb the jihadists of IS in Syria. That same government adamantly does not want to offer refuge to any of the many tens of thousands of Syrian refugees now homeless and desperate inside Europe. Does David Cameron's position make sense? 

Stephen Sackur talks to the UK government's chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, Conservative MP Crispin Blunt.
