When Riedijk wed the 15-year-old Londoner in Raqqa, Syria, they had spent ten minutes discussing'see if we clicked,' says the jihadist. Shamima Begum (inset), 24, had her British citizenship withdrawn on national security grounds soon after she was discovered in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019. And today, she lost a Court of Appeal lawsuit to try and recover it. During her time in the country, Riedijk and Begum had three children together, two of whom died of disease or hunger, and a third died of pneumonia after being taken by Western-backed forces. Begum gave the Dutch convert, who is now in prison, a list of 'weird' questions and demands, including the ability to visit relatives. In an interview from behind bars, he even referred to her as "clueless."

Simon Weston, a Falklands veteran, has fallen out at the EU after it refused to rename the Falkland Islands by Argentina's common name of 'Las Malvinas' in a treaty. Mr Weston, a former Welsh guardsman, became a national hero after being bombed by skyhawk fighters after his RAF Galahad troop carrier was bombed by skyhawk fighters. In a tweet, he accused the EU of'bought into' Buenos Aires' effort to assert sovereignty over the islands. The islanders are terribly sad, but they have every right to live peacefully,' Mr Weston said.

In treaty, the EU calls Falkland Islands 'Las Malvinas,' a 'diplomatic triumph' and promises to use the initiative to make renewed attempts for'sovereignty talks.'

Following a joint declaration between Argentina and Argentina naming the Falkland Islands the 'Islas Malvinas,' furious British diplomats are at loggerheads with the European Union. The archipelago in the south Atlantic Ocean has long been a contested territory between Britain and Argentina. It came as a result of the Falklands War of 1982, in which 255 British servicemen died. By Buenos Aires, the EU's mention of the islands by their Argentinian name has been celebrated as a "diplomatic triumph."

The former ISIS slave 'Dila' had described encountering Shamima Begum (left) at a terrorist training camp in 2015 - and branded the former ISIS bride's new lookalike as 'fake'. Dila, who has seven family members who are still missing, relates to Begum's participation in Sharia's lessons, where they were taught to have arms and how to wear suicide belts. Despite being a slave in Yazidy herself, Dila was forced to attend the sessions in order to save her captors, who carried out several forced conversions to Sharia Islam. Alan Duncan (inset) has spent years investigating the atrocities carried out by ISIS and believes Dila's testimony to be some of the 'compelling' he has seen. (Pictured right) Begum and her schoolmates Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana at Gatwick Airport in 2015 as they departed to join ISIS, but they were correct.)

Following arriving in Syria, Jihadi bride Shamima Begum gave rabble-rousing speeches in praise of suicide bombers, according to a refugee. The Yazidi sex slave's account comes as London-born Begum renews her court fight to return to the United Kingdom, claiming she was escorted to the Middle East as a schoolgirl. However, Begum's testimony indicates that the migrant group was active in the terrorist group. On the grounds that she is a security risk, the Home Office and security services continue to oppose her return. Begum, a 23-year-old child, was seen inside the Al-Nur Mosque in the Syrian city of Raqqa by a Yazidi attacker and a friend discussing Islam.

EXCLUSIVE: Shamima Begum's husband (left) claims that their marriage was happy and they even spent time baking, although he paints a picture of domestic bliss in Syria, in contrast to the image she (inset and right) portrayed during her attempt to regain British citizenship. Begum, an A-Star pupil at Bethnal Green Academy in East London, left the United Kingdom in February 2015, along with two others who are believed to have been killed in the war. When Yago Riedijk, a Dutch convert, married the 15-year-old, she was injured fighting for ISIS. She spent four years in Syria and had three children by Riedijk, two of whom died from disease or hunger, and a third who died of pneumonia after being captured by Western-backed forces. ISIS purposefully recruited underage girls for sexual abuse and child marriage because they were deemed "bearing of children," a key component of the state-building program,' he said. During an interview in Northern Syria, Riedijk made no comment when asked about the age difference.
