Thousands of Jihadists Return to Home Countries

BBC World Service - Newshour, Thousands of Jihadists Return to Home Countries

What will happen to the foreign fighters who flocked to join IS since 2014?

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

A new report says more than 5600 foreign fighters for the so-called Islamic State have gone back home to 33 countries around the world. We ask what policies those countries are now adopting when confronted by the returnees.

Also in the programme: We spend time with Chinese feminists as they prepare for another five years of President Xi Jinping. And the two Republican senators embroiled in a very public row with President Trump.
