#Atividade (04): Cameron delivers response to Isis hostage threat at PMQs


We’ve got the first PMQs* since the summer recess today and it will be dominated by what David Cameron has to say about the government’s response to Isis’s latest beheading of an American hostage, and its threat to target a British hostage next. David Cameron will set out the British government’s response to the threat to the life of a British man by Islamic State (Isis) at prime minister’s questions after an emergency meeting of Cobra on Wednesday morning.

Government sources said Cameron had known of the threat to the man’s life for many months so it will not change his short-term calculations, but the revelation of the threat to the public in the gruesome Isis video is likely to put more pressure on the UK to join the air strikes that the Americans have been conducting for weeks against Isis in northern Iraq.

Obama is under intense domestic pressure to be more decisive and is considering whether to extend the air strikes to Syria, the original base of Isis.
