The family of a teenage girl who's believed to be on her way to Syria to fight for Islamic State have made an emotional plea for her to come home.

15-year-old Yusra Hussien, from Bristol, is thought to have travelled to Turkey last week.

It's feared her plan is to now try and join the extremist group.

Yusra's aunt Sucdi Ali, says her disappearance has been surrounded with unwarranted media speculation.

Yusra Hussien's family made this emotional television appeal earlier today.
