On Tuesday night the jihadist group Islamic State released a video of the beheading of American journalist James Foley. The graphic film was shared on Youtube, Twitter and Facebook, not only by jihadist supporters, but by others upset by the content because of its brutality. Many responded to the sharing of the film by calling for an #ISISmediablackout. James Fletcher speaks to Joseph Carter, research fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation, about who was sharing the video and why.

James also speaks to Jon Novick, a filmmaker with dwarfism who used a secret camera to capture and expose the way people react to him on the streets of New York. And who are the ‘Cyber-Hindus’ and what are they trying to achieve with their recent spate of pro-Hindu hashtags?

Plus more trends from across the world in just 60 seconds.

Presenter James Fletcher is joined in the studio by Joseph Carter, research fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and from Delhi by Vikas Pandey from Â鶹ԼÅÄ Monitoring.
