our middle east correspondent
quentin sommerville
is in north eastern syria tonight,
and spoke to shamima
begum yesterday.
when i spoke to shamima begum
yesterday, she was still intent
on returning to the united kingdom.
she managed to make it
all the way here to syria
without a uk passport.
she used her sister's passport
to get from britain,
travel to turkey and then
crossed into syria, joining
the islamic state group.
the british government has stripped
is supporters and fighters here in
syria of their citizenship but they
can only do that to them if they
have rights to another citizenship.
while shamima begum has been here
she has had a baby boy, he is three
days old and his name is jarrah. his
citizenship is probably ok because
he received his, he was born a few
days before his mother lost hers.
but this whole issue of what to do
with these is women and other is
supporters isn't going to go away.
we know that in the last week alone,
