Body language expert, Judi James, said “it is very difficult to feel sympathy” for the British teenager who fled to Syria. Ms James studied the footage from the Sky News interview conducted at a refugee camp in north Syria alongside Ms Begum's newborn son Jarrah, whose father is terrorist Yago Riedijk. She revealed the 19-year-old delivered “unemotional answers, relatively calmly, almost as though she can’t see what any fuss might be about”.
Ms James told MirrorOnline: “Her head is down and slightly turned at the start but she also uses enough eye contact to suggest some confidence.
"She appears to place a hand on her hip at one point, which could validate this look of confidence although if she has just given birth it could be prompted by discomfort.
"She uses the words 'you know' as though expecting empathy and understanding."
The teenager from Bethnal Green in east London appears to be “unaware that what she has done is not within the boundaries of normal”.
