Daily roundup 23 June: Isis, measles and church abuse

A mother-of-two accused of being a part of a family network of Isis extremists and sympathisers has won a High Court battle against social services. The Evening Standard reports that council chiefs wanted a judge to ban the woman from taking her children, aged six and three, abroad.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has asked his predecessor George Carey to step down as an honorary assistant bishop after an independent report found that senior figures in the Church of England colluded over a 20-year period with a disgraced former bishop who sexually abused boys and men.

Children as young as nine are the target of cosmetic surgery apps and makeover games that are likely to make them feel dissatisfied with their own faces and bodies, a report has warned.

Children of single-parent families earn less, have fewer friends and are more likely to be single, it has been claimed.

That was compared with 1,200 who described themselves as white.
