'Syria' girl's sister's emotional plea: 'She's our baby'

Renu Begum, the sister of Shamima Begum, one of three girls who are believed to have fled to Syria to join Islamic State (IS), has made an emotional appeal for her return.

Amira Abase, Shamima Begum, both 15, and Kadiza Sultana, 16, travelled to Turkey on Tuesday and it is feared they plan to join IS.

It is not clear whether the London girls - all "star GCSE pupils" - have crossed from Turkey into Syria.

Renu told the BBC: "Nobody in this world can love her more than we do, because she's our baby."
