David Cameron will hold talks with Francois Hollande on the fight against so-called Islamic State on Monday.

The Prime Minister is in Paris to meet the French President, 10 days after the capital city was terrorised by a series of deadly attacks.

The meeting comes after the UN Security Council called on all "able states" to join the fight against IS militants in Syria and Iraq and redouble their efforts to prevent further attacks by the group.
