Has Channel 4 immigration show branded toxic changed anyone's mind?
"In 10 years' time, Britain is going to be full of people wearing burqas.
"Islam will have taken over."
Chloe Dobbs' first words on Channel 4 reality show Go Back To Where You Came From didn't leave much room for doubt.
The 24-year-old YouTuber and conservative political commentator from Cornwall knows her opinions were "controversial".
So was the programme. Some charities accused it of platforming "toxic views" and giving a distorted idea of what refugees really go through.
But after being thrown in with five other Brits - all with differing views on immigration - has it altered anyone's thinking?
In the four-part series, filmed in May and June 2024, participants were split into two groups - one travelling from Syria, one from Somalia.
They spent weeks, accompanied by security teams, following the same routes refugees from Somalia and Syria use to reach the UK.
Recent figures from the government suggest that more than 5,000 Syrians applied for asylum in the UK in the year ending September 2024, with 940 applications from Somalians.
In the same time period, 3,385 people arriving from Syria came on small boats - the third most common nationality to come to the UK this way.
The charity Freedom From Torture criticised the show as "dehumanising and downright dangerous".
It said genuine refugees would not have the same resources and the programme could "never truly convey the unpredictability and the danger of what that journey actually feels like".
Chloe travelled back to the UK from Syria, where the UN estimates 14 million people were forced to flee their homes after the outbreak of civil war in 2011.
In the series, she was seen clashing with fellow Brit Bushra Shaikh, who had a more sympathetic attitude towards migrants and refugees.
Since returning to the UK Chloe says she's able to see the crisis more from her point of view.
"Purgatory is the word that I would use to describe the situation that so many people are in," says Chloe, having now seen the crisis close-up.
"We saw a lot of really heartbreaking stuff."
Meanwhile, Mathilda Mallinson travelled to Somalia.
The 29-year-old journalist from London has previous experience working in refugee camps and tells Newsbeat she "wasn't expecting to have my views on immigration drastically changed".
But by spending so much time with the other participants, she says she has learned to be more understanding of different points of view.
"I really don't think that polarised, heated, angry debate gets anyone closer to the middle ground," she says.
"A key part of the journey for me was just listening to the reasons that people feel different ways.
"I was never going to be the person who helped them see... that was going to come from meeting refugees themselves."
Both Chloe and Mathilda agree that more needs to be done to build a better understanding of the migrant crisis in the UK.
"The bit that the media focuses on generally is the crossing from France to Britain," says Chloe.
"It's very easy to think, if you just watch the news in the UK, that all of the displaced people in the world, they're all coming to Britain.
"When actually there are millions and millions of people elsewhere in the world."
Mathilda agrees, saying she was taken aback by the scale of the problem away from Europe, which she rarely sees reported.
"It was so overwhelming to see the scale of the displacement crisis," she says of when they visited Dadaab in Kenya, formerly the world's largest refugee camp.
"This is what we need to see more of in our storytelling in our coverage of the refugee crisis, because it really helps to put into proportion what we are dealing with in the UK and and in Europe."
'I would jump on the boat' says ex anti-immigration campaigner
'I replicated a refugee's journey for a TV show'
How many people cross the Channel in small boats?
Now back in the UK, Chloe says she received "hateful messages" when the show aired but her experience has definitely changed her views "on a lot of things".
She says she hasn't done a "full 180" from where she started and still advocates for "very strong vetting processes" for migrants who want to come to the UK legally.
But, she says: "I started to really see these people, rather than just as criminals, as human beings who are in absolutely heartbreaking situation."
"It definitely gave me a heck of a lot more empathy for what people are going through."
Channel 4 has been approached for comment on criticisms of the show.

Erdogan says he's 'optimistic victory will be Iran's' in blistering speech as strikes continue
As the conflict between Israel and Iran enters its ninth consecutive day, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said he's "optimistic that victory will be Iran's" in a blistering speech at a gathering of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) foreign ministers in Istanbul. Erdogan accused Israel of sabotaging the nuclear talks between Iran and the US — which were ongoing when Israel first launched strikes last Friday, June 13 — adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want to "resolve issues through diplomatic means." He urged the diplomats at the OIC meeting to increase pressure on Israel on the basis of international law and UN resolutions. Erdogan's harsh rhetoric comes days before he's due to join a meeting of leaders of the NATO Alliance this week, including US President Donald Trump, who has dismissed a European-led effort to steer parties to the negotiating table. "Iran doesn't want to speak to Europe. They want to speak to us," Trump told reporters in New Jersey late on Friday. "Europe is not going to be able to help in this one." Meanwhile, Israel said its strikes had targeted Iran's nuclear site in Isfahan, and that it had killed three senior commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Israel's foreign minister Gideon Saar said in an interview published in Germany's Bild newspaper on Saturday that Israel has already delayed Iran's nuclear programme by "at least two or three years."

World Bank and IMF climate snub 'worrying', says COP29 presidency
The hosts of the most recent UN climate talks are worried international lenders are retreating from their commitments to help boost funding for developing countries' response to global warming. Major development banks have agreed to boost climate spending and are seen as crucial in the effort to dramatically increase finance to help poorer countries build resilience to impacts and invest in renewable energy. But anxiety has grown as the Trump administration has slashed foreign aid and discouraged US-based development lenders such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund from focussing on climate finance. Developing nations, excluding China, will need an estimated $1.3 trillion a year by 2035 in financial assistance to transition to renewable energy and climate-proof their economies from increasing weather extremes. Nowhere near this amount has been committed. At last year's UN COP29 summit in Azerbaijan, rich nations agreed to increase climate finance to $300 billion a year by 2035, an amount decried as woefully inadequate. Azerbaijan and Brazil, which is hosting this year's COP30 conference, have launched an initiative to reduce the shortfall, with the expectation of "significant" contributions from international lenders. But so far only two -- the African Development Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank -- have responded to a call to engage the initiative with ideas, said COP29 president Mukhtar Babayev. "We call on their shareholders to urgently help us to address these concerns," he told climate negotiators at a high-level summit in the German city of Bonn this week. "We fear that a complex and volatile global environment is distracting" many of those expected to play a big role in bridging the climate finance gap, he added. - A 'worrisome trend' - His team travelled to Washington in April for the IMF and World Bank's spring meetings hoping to find the same enthusiasm for climate lending they had encountered a year earlier. But instead they found institutions "very much reluctant now to talk about climate at all", said Azerbaijan's top climate negotiator Yalchin Rafiyev. This was a "worrisome trend", he said, given expectations these lenders would extend the finance needed in the absence of other sources. "They're very much needed," he said. The World Bank is directing 45 percent of its total lending to climate, as part of an action plan in place until June 2026, with the public portion of that spilt 50/50 between emissions reductions and building resilience. The United States, the World Bank's biggest shareholder, has pushed in a different direction. On the sidelines of the April spring meetings, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the bank to focus on "dependable technologies" rather than "distortionary climate finance targets." This could mean investing in gas and other fossil fuel-based energy production, he said. Under the Paris Agreement, wealthy developed countries -- those most responsible for global warming to date -- are obliged to pay climate finance to poorer nations. Other countries, most notably China, make voluntary contributions. - Money matters - Finance is a source of long-running tensions at UN climate negotiations. Donors have consistently failed to deliver on past finance pledges, and have committed well below what experts agree developing nations need to cope with the climate crisis. The issue flared up again this week in Bonn, with nations at odds over whether to debate financial commitments from rich countries during the formal meetings. European nations have also pared back their foreign aid spending in recent months, raising fears that budgets for climate finance could also face a haircut. At COP29, multilateral development banks (MDBs) led by the World Bank Group estimated they could provide $120 billion annually in climate financing to low and middle income countries, and mobilise another $65 billion from the private sector by 2030. Their estimate for high income countries was $50 billion, with another $65 billion mobilised from the private sector. Rob Moore, of policy think tank E3G, said these lenders are the largest providers of international public finance to developing countries. "Whilst they are facing difficult political headwinds in some quarters, they would be doing both themselves and their clients a disservice by disengaging on climate change," he said. The World Bank in particular has done "a huge amount of work" to align its lending with global climate goals. "If they choose to step back this would be at their own detriment, and other banks like the regionally based MDBs would likely play a bigger role in shaping the economy of the future," he said. The World Bank declined to comment on the record. klm/np/mh/jj

In pictures: Modi leads record attempt as India marks International Day of Yoga
People across the world marked the 11th International Day of Yoga on Saturday with mass yoga sessions, community events and awareness drives to highlight this year's theme – Yoga for One Earth, One Health. In India, large events were held in every state and union territory, with prime minister Narendra Modi leading the main celebration from Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. The beachfront yoga session, held along a 28km stretch of the city's coastline, aimed to double the previous Guinness World Record for the largest yoga lesson – set in Gujarat on this day two years ago at 147,952 participants. Andhra Pradesh's chief minister claimed 303,000 people attended on Saturday morning, though the final official tally was yet to be confirmed by Guinness World Records. Indian military personnel also took part in Yoga Day celebrations, performing yoga on the icy heights of the Siachen Glacier in the Himalayas and aboard naval ships in the Bay of Bengal.
