Shamima Begum - the teenager who left the UK to join the Islamic State group - is expected to be given legal aid to fight the Home Secretary's decision to strip her of British citizenship. She's is in a detention camp in northern Syria after IS fighters were driven from the region. The Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, says the decision makes him "very uncomfortable". So how can she qualify, at a time when cuts to legal aid mean many others don't? Vinny spoke to commentator Andree Murphy and barrister and former MP Jerry Hayes.
