Today's Highlighted Video Story: This rehabilitation centre is woven into the mountains of northern Kyrgyzstan, and it is where wives and children of suspected IS recruits spend their first six weeks after being repatriated. The BBC World Service team were among the first visitors and everything was closely monitored by the state intelligence agency. As well as the re-education programme, the families receive medical treatment, psychological support, and - for the first time in years for many - sufficient food, water, and shelter.
