Will Europe Take Back Its IS Fighters?

17/02/2019 GMT

BBC World Service - Newshour, Will Europe Take Back Its IS Fighters?

France said it would take back 130 IS suspects weeks ago. Why have none returned so far?

President Trump has urged European allies to take back more than 800 Islamic State fighters captured in Syria and put them on trial. We take a look at France, which said a few weeks ago that it would take back 130 IS suspects. Why have none returned so far?

Also in the programme; Sweden's royal family launches a handbook on the perils of the internet, and France's Yellow Vests movement is in the spotlight again - this time for allegations of anti-Semitism.
