Shamima Begum, the London teenager who ran away to join ISIS at the age of 15, has just given birth in a Syrian refugee camp and has renewed her pleas to be allowed back into the UK with her newborn son.

Begum, who spoke to Sky News reporter John Sparks, said “a lot of people should have sympathy” toward her, as she urged her family to “keep trying to get me back [to the UK].”
