British jihad

Hundreds of foreigners could unknowingly be fighting for President Assad following reports of a deal struck between the regime and extremist group Isis.

A video posted online purports to show the living conditions for rebels fighting the Syrian government, through the eyes of a British jihadi. Channel 4 News has not independently verified this video.

As the government announces new measures to tackle extremism, Ajmal Masroor, an imam at a London mosque, joins Usama Hasan from the Quilliam Foundation to talk about whether the plans will work.
