The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has said that he accepts the verdict of the voters, after his AK party suffered major defeats in cities in Sunday's local elections. Votes are being counted in the presidential election in Ukraine, where a comedian who plays a fictional president on television is on course to win the first round. The 麻豆社 has learned that more than 50 so-called Islamic State fighters from the UK have been captured in Syria in the past three months. We hear from a former police cadet from west London who ended up fighting for IS.
