UK to send military trainers to Jordan

    Britain will send military trainers to Jordan to help the country's air force in the fight against so-called Islamic State.

   Prime minister, Theresa May, will set out measures to boost cooperation between the UK and Jordan to tackle extremism on a visit to the capital Amman today.

   The prime minister, who will be on a three-day trip to the Middle East, will also discuss supporting the country with the influx of refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria.
   Training will be carried out in Jordan and the UK to help its air force improve its capability to strike IS targets.
   May is also visiting Saudi Arabia during her trip where the focus will be on strengthening trade and security ties as Britain prepares to leave the EU.
