"The UK's ultimate goal is to defeat Daesh so
that it no longer presents a threat to the UK or international stability. The
UK will continue to work with its allies to support those countries where Daesh
is a threat and help prevent its spread."

clear national threat to the UK, and is a global threat to their international
