Shamima Begum - who left home in east London at the age of 15 to join Islamic State in Syria - will find out today if she is allowed back to the UK. Sir James Eadie KC told the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC): "You can be trafficked in the most ghastly, unacceptable way, exposed in the most unacceptable way, desensitised in the most unacceptable way and yet, unfortunately ... still be a security threat. But how did Shamima Begum get to this point, and why is her potential return to the UK proving so controversial? Once in Syria, Begum married a Dutch fighter for Islamic State, Yago Riedijk, and had three children with him - all of whom later died.

How the January window changed WSL transfers forever: Alessia Russo bid and Bethany England's British record move help spark new era

| January Done DealsHow to follow the WSL on Sky Sports | Get Sky SportsLast window before the first £1m player? The current world record for a player is the £400,000 spent by Barcelona on Keira Walsh. In the women's game, to see players like Bethany England and Alessia Russo being linked with this much money, it makes me so happy. Of course, there was movement between the other WSL clubs as well as bringing in talent from elsewhere, but for nowhere near the same fees.
