  3. France's fight is our fight - UK defence secretarypublished at 16.44

    Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said the UK must reconsider launching air strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria, a move that would require consent from parliament.

    Speaking to the BBC, Mr Fallon said the French had made the right decision in stepping up its air strikes on the IS stronghold of Raqqa following Friday's attacks, because it was clear they had been planned in northern Syria.

    "France's fight is our fight" he stressed. "The terror is on our own doorstep."
