UK PM TO OUTLINE NEW RESPONSE TO RADICALISATION

British Prime Minister David Cameron is set to announce new anti-terror legislation later (after 15.30 BST) in response to the threat posed by Islamic State militants fighting in Syria and Iraq.

However, it's understood that the Prime Minister's Conservative Party and coalition partners the Liberal Democrats are still not in final agreement about new plans to tackle extremism.

It's thought over 500 Britons have traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight, and there are growing fears some could attempt to attack the UK on their return.

But there are civil rights concerns about some of the Prime Minister's plans - notably over his desire to seize passports from UK citizens who've traveled to foreign conflicts.

Reporter Tom Swarbrick says some of the measures do already have agreement from both parties.

White House defends Obama's "candid" remark on lack of US plan in Syria

The White House is defending President Obama's controversial remark that the US does not have a plan in Syria.

In his daily briefing, White House Spokesperson Josh Earnest took a grilling from the press, who wanted to know what the president meant by his remark, and how the US could lack a plan considering the severity of the crisis in Syria.

Mr. Earnest said the media was misinterpreting the President's remark.

He said Mr. Obama was narrowly addressing the question of whether he would hypothetically seek congressional approval before using military force in Syria.

Josh Earnest explained that the President meant to say the question was premature as the US is still formulating a variety of military options.
