BBC World Service - Newshour, Shamima Begum loses bid to regain UK citizenship

The ruling means the 24-year-old must remain in Syria.

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

A British-born woman who joined the Islamic State group in Syria has lost her latest attempt to overturn a decision by London to strip her of her British citizenship. The ruling means Shamima Begum can't return to Britain from Syria, though she can appeal to the Supreme Court. 

Also in the programme: How Artificial Intelligence is speeding up the development of prosthetic limbs; and Germany's debate over whether cannabis should be partially legalised. 

And desperately needed aid is airdropped into northern Gaza - our correspondent reports from the plane.
