ISIS release propaganda video of UK hostage

Islamist militants known as ISIL have released a video showing British hostage John Cantlie walking around what he says are the ruins of the besieged Syrian Kurdish border town of Kobani.

In an apparently scripted “report” Cantlie says the battle for the town “is nearly over” and the militants are “mopping up now”.

Kobani has witnessed intense fighting between Kurdish militias and ISIL for more than a month.

The video which is unverified and taken off social media appears to be one of a series featuring the 43-year-old journalist, who was seized in late 2012.

Latest verified footage from Kobani shows US-led airstrikes on ISIL positions.

On Monday there were heavy clashes and sporadic exchanges of mortar fire in the town.

A deployment of Kurdish Peshmerga fighters which Turkey said could cross its border into Syria to help defend Kobani has not yet arrived.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi emerges from shadows to rally Islamist followers

Most wanted man in Middle East lays down challenge not only to Baghdad and the west but also jilted mothership al-Qaida

• 

For a man so mysterious that there are only two known photographs of him, it was a brazen public debut. The most wanted man in the Middle East, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is also one of the most elusive, an evanescent figure behind the Islamist insurrection sweeping the Syrian and Iraqi interior.

And yet according to jihadist websites at the weekend, here he was on video openly rallying the adepts of the new Islamic state he had just pronounced in the largest city that his fighters had taken. Clad in black robes that invoked a distant, almost mythical phase of Islamic history, Baghdadi gave a half-hour sermon during Friday prayers in Mosul and led worship inside one of the most important Islamic sites in Iraq in open defiance of the US intelligence officials who have put a $10m bounty on his head.

In doing so, he laid down a challenge not only to the authorities in Baghdad and the foreign powers that want stability in the country, but to the radical Islamist mothership from which the Isis movement broke – al-Qaida, and its current leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Regulation and Enterprise Social Media

Everyone's heard the saying, "opposites attract," but do they last forever? As a culture, we love rooting for hopeless relationships—whether in books, movies, or reality. The naïve pig and prolific spider in, “Charlotte’s Web.” The wealthy, obnoxious woman and struggling carpenter in the movie, “Overboard.” Oil and vinegar or dry wine and steak. We close the book and leave the movie imagining happily ever after. We enjoy contrasting tastes that complement one another. In other real-life scenarios, it’s much more complicated.

Take the connection between regulation and compliance and enterprise social media. They seemingly repel one another. But by embracing differences and making compromises, this relationship can work harmoniously. And we don’t have to dream about it.

That’s why we invited Joanna Belbey, Social Media and Compliance Specialist for Actiance, Inc., Tom Chernaik, CEO of Command Post, and DeShelia Spann, who directs employee advocacy initiatives as the Digital Marketing Manager at Eaton, to steer us in our exclusive, live webinar: Charting the Course for Enterprise Social Media in a Regulated Industry. Join us to explore enterprise social media strategy for regulated businesses on
 Tuesday, June 24, at 12 p.m. EST / 9 a.m. PST.
