The UK government is “in negotiations” after reports that three British men are being held by the Taliban in Afghanistan, the home secretary said on Sunday.

The Presidium Network, a UK-based non-profit organisation, named one of the men as Kevin Cornwell, a 53-year-old charity medic from Middlesbrough.
