Taken from their homes, their loved ones, they face beatings, rapes, death, even indoctrination into a life of extremism themselves.

A LITTLE primary in a sleepy countryside village has become Britain’s first net-zero school. St Andrew’s CofE Primary School in Chedworth village in Gloucestershire has carried out a string of upgrades to slash emissions. The youngsters are recycling everything and have even ditched their gluesticks in favour of more environmentally friendly options. The school has changed their high ceilings to bring them closer to the floor to stop heat escaping, and solar panels are set to be installed.
