UN SANCTIONS EXTENDED TO UK MILITANTS

UN sanctions are to be extended to four British Islamic State jihadists, at the UK's request.

The four men who are fighting for or recruiting for ISIS in Syria will face travel bans and a freeze of their assets.

The new tactic to try and stop people traveling to the region to join the Islamic State comes amid a new diplomatic push on the issue at the UN General Assembly in New York.

Russia is urging a co-ordinated international response to tackle I.S. in Syria - but continues to support President Bashar al Assad.

Sir Tony Brenton, former UK ambassador to Russia, says the sanctions against militants show new approaches are being considered to tackle ISIS.
