Five things John Cantlie's latest video teaches us about Isil's strategy

Find out what John Cantlie's latest video appearance teaches us about Isil's strategy, as new video apparently showing the hostage "reporting" from Kobane is released by Islamic State British hostage John Cantlie has appeared in his sixth propaganda video for Isil, this time parading around the embattled city of Kobane in Syria’s north. The Islamic State group released a video of Mr Cantlie apparently reporting on the current situation in Kobane, in a bid to disprove that Isil was losing the battle for the disputed Syrian border town. The sixth video featuring 43-year-old kidnapped reporter, shows him in the war-damaged town, talking to the camera and rejecting US claims that the "mujahedeen" are in retreat. In their latest statements on the battle, US officials have said their strikes have "slowed IS advances" but that the situation is fluid. Cantlie was kidnapped in Syria in November 2012 while covering the civil war there. Four hostages - two Americans and two Britons - have been executed by IS militants.
