:12:59. > :13:02.terrorism. The some have issued a detailed action plan of what they
:13:03. > :13:08.think they can do collectively to try and tackle what they see as a
:13:09. > :13:11.threat to every country. They have agreed a whole package of measures
:13:12. > :13:18.and will put more pressure on internet companies to develop new
:13:19. > :13:23.technology to identify, remove and block extremist material that could
:13:24. > :13:28.be seen to foster hatred but also material that is used to organised
:13:29. > :13:32.terrorist plots. The big question will be how the internet companies
:13:33. > :13:37.respond and can we actually put pressure on these companies to make
:13:38. > :13:41.a difference? They also agreed to do more to tackle the problem of
:13:42. > :13:47.foreign fighters. Now so-called Islamic state is losing territory in
