French President Francois Hollande says the global threat posed by Islamic State (IS) militants must meet a global response. He was opening an international summit of foreign ministers in Paris aimed at combating the jihadist group. About 40 countries, including 10 Arab states, have signed up to a coalition to help fight IS in Iraq and Syria. The conference follows a whirlwind tour of the Middle East by US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Mr Kerry, who is also attending the summit, has been drumming up support for a plan of action unveiled by President Barack Obama last week. The murder of British aid worker David Haines by IS militants, shown in a video released by the group on Saturday, has added momentum to the plans, says the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Paris.
