Cameron: We must stop the poisoning of young minds

David Cameron has said the West must stop "the poisoning of young minds" by Islamic State and other extremists.

The Prime Minister said he had spoken to Francois Hollande to offer his support after the attack near Lyon and would also speak to the Tunisian government following the attack there to offer "our solidarity in fighting this evil of terrorism".
