Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi, a member of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, says that to defeat extremist Islamic ideology it needs to be "taken on".

BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman said the independent QC, David Perry, who carried out the review of Alison Saunders' decision, agreed with her about Lord Janner being unfit to stand trial because of his dementia.

But he said Mr Perry had determined it was "in the public interest for the issue of fitness to plead, fitness to take part in a trial to be determined by a judge".

What this means, he explains, is that a judge will look at the medical evidence and determine if Lord Janner is fit to take part in a criminal trial. If he is, a normal trial will be held but if he is unfit he will face a trial of the facts, Clive Coleman says.

This means that a jury will hear evidence from alleged victims of Lord Janner and it will determine "only if Lord Janner carried out the physical acts of abuse. There will be no findings of guilt and no conviction."

Instead the jury can choose between three options: a hospitalisation order, a supervision order under the Mental Health Act or an absolute discharge, he adds.

Jenny Jones and Darren Johnson, the Green Party's two current members of the London Assembly, have confirmed that they will not be seeking re-election next May.

Both have given 16 years' service and Baroness Jones, also a Green peer, said: "We have greened London government, to the benefit of all Londoners."

Nominations for candidates to take their places close today and the results will be announced on 8 July.

BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman said the decision to review and reverse the decision made by the director of public prosecutions, Alison Saunders, not to prosecute Lord Janner was a first.

Beth Rigby from the Financial Times will be with Jo Coburn throughout Monday's Daily Politics, which is on an hour earlier than usual, because of live Wimbledon coverage on BBC2.

They will discuss the British government’s response to the terrorist attack in Tunisia with Crispin Blunt MP, the new chair of the Commons' Foreign Affairs Select Committee. 

Financial expert Louise Cooper will look at the implications of the banks closing in Greece.

And Michael Salter, former Conservative Party broadcasting head and now chairman of Pride in London, will give his thoughts on how CNN appeared to think a flag at London's Gay Pride was an ISIS flag.

The Daily Telegraph

Islamic State is a "death cult" and is neither Islamic or a state, Boris Johnson has written in the Daily Telegraph. 

The MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip said by calling the militant group Islamic State it was "dignifying their criminal and barbaric behaviour".

DPP Alison Saunders said she accepted the outcome of the review. 

The CPS decision not to prosecute Lord Janner was overturned following a review of the case under the recently introduced CPS Victims' Right to Review scheme, which allows victims to have their cases looked at again, no matter who in the CPS made the original decision not to prosecute. In the past year the scheme has meant that more than 200 prosecutions have been brought that would not have been brought otherwise.   

Lord Janner is to face criminal proceedings relating to 22 allegations of historical sexual abuse, Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders has announced. It comes after an independent review of her decision in April that he should not face prosecution due to advanced dementia.

Very often it’s not what the prime minister says or does that is the important side of anything, it’s what he doesn’t say or doesn’t do.

What was striking in the interview he gave this morning was there was no raft of new policies, no list of crackdowns, no proposed legislation, no suggestion of further military action against IS, and that’s interesting because there will be huge pressure on him.

Because after all about 30 Britons are expected to have been killed in the Tunisian attack, so the pressure to retaliate, to do something is enormous. 

Yet what we heard from the prime minister this morning was more, I felt, an appeal for patience. 

There is no immediate quick fix that is somehow going to take out IS or somehow change the dynamics of the situation. 

The prime minister’s view is, bluntly, that we are engaged in a struggle that he thinks is going to take as long as the Cold War.
