  6. Burnham: Labour will work with governmentpublished at 15:25

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Speaking in the Commons, shadow home secretary Andy Burnham says the "callous" attacks in Paris show the ability of so-called Islamic State adherents to strike "at the heart" of Europe. 

    He says that Labour will work "constructively" with the government to ensure that the UK is equipped to counter the threats facing it and asks specifically about anti-terror powers and police budgets. 

    In response, Mrs May says the UK put specific systems in place to deal with the risk of "marauding" attacks by groups of gunmen after the 2008 Mumbai attacks. It is right that these are reviewed in light of what has happened to make sure the police have the capability and the training and that lessons are learnt, she tells MPs. 

  7. May: Checks on Syrian refugeespublished at 15:22

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Taking questions on the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the UK, Home Secretary Theresa May says all refugees are checked twice before being resettled in the UK, including through biometrics. She says ministers are looking at providing funding to support councils taking in refugees for more than the initial first year. Refugees entering the UK under this scheme are given five years of humanitarian protection, she says adding "it is right that we welcome them and open our arms to them" as they are fleeing violence.

  9. May urged to remember Syrian refugeespublished at 15:20

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    The Paris attacks are dominating questions to Mrs May and her ministerial team in the Commons. Tory MP Stuart Andrew warns about the risk of increased Islamaphobia in the wake of the attacks, while his colleague Michael Fabricant says the scenes in the French capital were the "greatest hate crime" imaginable. Labour's Keith Vaz says the attacks were a reminder of the need to properly fund the police, while Labour's Yvette Cooper argues the right response to the "barbarism" of Islamic State was not only to ensure everything is done to protect UK citizens but to give sanctuary to those fleeing its persecution in Syria and other countries in the region.

    'Tackling Islamist extremism ideology'

    The Quilliam Foundation's Haras Rafiq talked to Monday's Daily Politics about the risk posed by the ideology underpinning Islamic extremism.

    He said the ideology was "brainwashing" young people into carrying out terrorist attacks, and meant that those people no longer identified as British or French, for example, but "Islamist jihadist".

    To counter extremism, that narrative needs to be "deconstructed" and "our alternatives promoted", he said.

  11. Le Pen urges 'immediate halt' to reception of migrantspublished at 15:07

    Marine Le Pen, head of the far-right National Front (FN) party, has called for an "immediate halt" to the entry of all foreign migrants following the Paris attacks. The decision should be made "as a precaution" for the "security of the French", she adds.

    US President Barack Obama has called on more nations to contribute aid to humanitarian efforts in Syria at a press conference during the G20 Summit in Turkey.

    He warns "slamming the door in the faces" of refugees fleeing the conflict is "a betrayal of our values". 

    He adds a political solution is the only way to end the conflict in Syria and defeat so-called Islamic State.

    President Obama says it remains the US position that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who he says bears responsibility for the civil war in Syria, must be removed from power.

    The European Union plans to tighten rules governing the issue and use of guns, EU officials have said after ministers were summoned to a crisis meeting in Brussels following Friday's terror attacks in Paris. Ministers, who will meet on Friday, will try to push through rules aimed at making it more difficult to acquire weapons and to track them better - possibly marking firearms with serial numbers. They will also do more to ensure that guns decommissioned for sale as collectors' items cannot be fired again.

  19. Jeremy Corbyn: I'm no defender of ISpublished at 14:30

    Sky News

    Mr Corbyn says if anything air strikes could make the situation in Syria "worse". He says he is "more hopeful" of the talks being held in Vienna.

    He says the solution lies in political talks adding that questions need to be asked on where so-called Islamic State are receiving money. He says Saudi Arabia "at some level" is providing support to the group.

    He adds it is "strange" for the government to cut police numbers when more security is needed. 

    He says "I'm no defender whatsoever" of Islamic State "I want to defeat them".
