Shamima Begum was 15 when she ran away with two other schoolgirls to Syria to marry a Dutch jihadi in 2015. She is accused of trying to recruit others to join before she left - and doing evil jobs for ISIS
On claims she sewed jihadis into suicide vests
'I am willing to go to court and face the people who made these claims and refute these claims, because I know I did nothing in IS (so-called Islamic State) but be a mother and a wife.
'These claims are being made to make me look worse because the Government do not have anything on me. There is no evidence because nothing ever happened.'
On asking for forgiveness
'I know it's very hard for the British people to try and forgive me because they have lived in fear of IS and lost loved ones because of IS, but I also have lived in fear of IS and I also lost loved ones because of IS, so I can sympathise with them in that way.
'I know it is very hard for them to forgive me but I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so sorry if I ever offended anyone by coming here, if I ever offended anyone by the things I said.'
Message for the PM
'I think I could very much help you in your fight against terrorism because you clearly don't know what you're doing'.
She added: 'I want them (the British public) to see me as an asset rather than a threat to them.'
On why she went to Syria
Begum said she came to Syria expecting simply to get married, have children and 'live a pure, Islamic life'.
'The reason I came to Syria was not for violent reasons.' She added: 'At the time I did not know it (so-called Islamic State) was a death cult, I thought it was an Islamic community I was joining. I was being fed a lot of information on the internet by people.'
On justifying the Manchester Arena bombing
She said: 'I do not believe that one evil justifies another evil. I don't think that women and children should be killed for other people's motives
