Shamima Begum - criminal or victim?

Do you think Shamima Begum is a criminal or a victim?

Do you think Shamima Begum is a criminal or a victim? Nihal is asking this after ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Secretary Sajid Javed said the former schoolgirl from east London, who travelled to Syria in 2014 to join the Islamic State group, could be prevented from returning to the UK. But her family have been quoted as saying she was only 15 when left the country and didn’t have the life experience to make such a decision. After that Nihal is joined by Mya-Rose Craig, also known as Bird Girl, to tell us about ‘Birding’ – a hobby which observes species of birds in their natural habitat. The 16-year-old set herself a mission to spot 5000 bird species by the time she's 18. Then we hear from Amesh Wijesekera from Sri Lanka, Rahemur Rahman from Bangladesh and Naushad Ali from India who are all taking part in the International Fashion Showcase at Somerset House. They're part of a group of 16 designers who have been asked to produce a series of compelling installations to represent their country. Also we speak to Zainab Mohiddin who has set up a new event called Mehndi Mindfulness. It's a safe space in which women can come together and talk about channelling their anger and emotions through dance. Plus, we’ll bring you the latest from Indian administered Kashmir after 46 Indian paramilitary police were killed by a suicide bomber.
