Sky News' special correspondent Alex Crawford joins Niall Paterson to discuss her recent trip to northeast Syria, where she gained extremely rare access to one of the main ISIS prisons under Kurdish control.
It's a time of particular upheaval in the country - since the new regime took over in Damascus, ISIS attacks have doubled. Alex tells us about the British ISIS fighter she met in the prison - Hamza Parvez, the first Briton to openly declare he was fighting for ISIS in 2014.
Alex’s visit forms part of a bigger conversation about how new president Ahmed al Sharaa is looking to make a deal with a patchwork of ethnically run territories in the northeast region, to join him in a united Syria. Producer: Rosie Gillott Editor: Philly Beaumont
