Kurdish militia seizes last members of so-called 'Beatles' cell.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

Two British extremists, associates of the man known as Jihadi John, and infamous for their role in torturing and killing western hostages in Islamic State prisons, have been detained by Syrian Kurdish fighters. We speak to New York Times reporter Adam Goldman who broke the story. Also in Syria, Damascus condemns the killing by US-led coalition forces of 100 pro-government fighters a 'war crime'. We hear from a spokesman for the US-led coalition fighting IS. we'll talk about divestment: the increasing trend of companies turning their backs on investing in fossil fuel companies.
