Theresa May on Brexit, Saudi Arabia and Refugees


Theresa May is in the Middle East on a trade mission.

She's due to arrive in Saudi Arabia later - and is being urged to raise concerns over human rights.

The Prime Minister has defended her dealings with the Kingdom and says she will bring up the issue of Yemen, where the Saudi military is engaged in a long-running campaign.

The Prime Minister been speaking to our Political Editor, Faisal Islam.

Germany Cracks Down on Salafists to Shield Refugees


THE NEW YORK TIMES: HILDESHEIM, Germany — For years, the authorities in Germany have warily monitored the swelling ranks of Salafists, followers of an ultraconservative branch of Islam who are known for aggressive proselytizing and their sympathies for the Islamic State.

But after long being perceived as dithering, German officials are cracking down with new resolve, as evidenced in a nationwide sweep against one Salafist group this past week, just days after the arrest of a high-profile imam.

The sudden vigilance has been propelled in part by increasing concern that the Salafists are trying to recruit among the hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees who arrived a year ago, encouraging some to sign up for jihad in Syria and Iraq or to carry out attacks in Germany. » | Alison Smale | Saturday, November 19, 2016
