now on bbc news, our world. six years ago, amsha escaped from captivity in northern iraq, after being held by is militants. today she is risking her life to clear her homeland of unexploded mines. in the summer of 2014, is militants swept across northern iraq. in sinjar, they would go on to commit a massacre, taking thousands of young women like amsha hostage.

almost seven years later, much of the region remains in ruins and thousands remain missing. despite everything, amsha chose to remain in sinjar. now every day she confronts the deadly legacy left hidden by herformer captors.

on the 3rd of august 2014, is militants invaded sinjar, the land of the yazidi. the so—called islamic state regarded this religious minority as infidels. reserving for them their most brutal treatment. is militants took amsha and her brother from their car and took them to a nearby base.

for amsha, it was the start of 11 months of torture. during their occupation of sinjar, the so—called islamic state took over 6000 yazidis hostage, forcing boys into training camps and girls and young women into slavery.

five years on, amsha now lives back at home with her family.

is militants might have gone from sinjar but they are still taking lives. civilians are frequently killed or injured by explosive devices. three months ago, amsha

started work as a

in sinjar, civilians live side by side with homes still contaminated with explosives. and fields laced with ieds.

since 2016, mag has cleared over 27,000 items of unexploded ordinants from across iraq, returning thousands of square metres of land back to the community.

seven years ago, amsha's family, along with hundreds of thousands of other yazidis, fled to mount sinjar. now, a temple on top of the mountain has become a place for reflection for amsha.

back in sinjar, amsha is one of a handful of women who have chosen to stay, to provide for their families and help rebuild.

every week, amsha and her close friend and colleague spend time together in sinjar town.

before is militants attacked, around half a million yazidis called sinjar their home. amsha was in high school, alongside her sisters and brothers. is militants are thought to have murdered over 5,000 yazidis, and of those taken captive, almost 3,000 are still considered missing.

for amsha and her colleagues, the dangerous work of making their land safe continues. despite the progress that the group and other de—mining agencies have made in clearing the land, the work will continue for years to come.

sinjar remains volatile, with various armed groups spread across the region, often at odds with each other and with the civilian population. but despite this, the numbers of those returning are slowly increasing. and new signs of life are emerging every day.

hello there. for many of us, part one of the weekend has been fine and dry with plenty of sunshine around and a big improvement across the south—east of england after friday's wash—out. we saw plenty of sunshine, a little bit of fairweather cloud across much of the country, but it wasn't sunny everywhere. through the day, certainly later on, cloudier skies thanks to a weather front pushing into western scotland and northern ireland and the far south—west of england, courtesy of this new weather front arriving in gradually as the day wore on. now, this is going to bring outbreaks of patchy rain as we move through this evening and overnight, into western areas initially and then start to spread its way eastwards into central, northern, southern england and wales. meanwhile, it will start to dry up a little bit with clearer skies in western scotland and northern ireland by the end of the night. and the far south—east as well will also see clear skies

with temperatures ranging from 10—13 degrees. actually quite a mild night. we've got this ridge of high pressure building in for sunday across western areas. this weather front, though, will be straddling central and eastern parts of the country, so it's a bit of a reversal of fortu nes. we will start to see sunny skies for sunday across scotland and northern ireland and increasingly in western england and west wales. for the rest of england and east wales it's going to be rather cloudy thanks to this weather front with some showery bursts of rain, and a few heavy downpours likely to be mixed into that as well. now, with more cloud around, its going to be a bit cooler across england and wales, 19—21, and high teen celsius across the north west where we will have the best of the sunshine. as we move out of sunday and into monday, that weather front weakens as it pushes towards the east, it will leave a legacy of cloud but we have high pressure dominating the scene, very light winds. so i think it's going to be a day of variable cloud and sunny spells, but with that weak weather front across eastern areas, likely to destabilise the atmosphere a little bit so we could see a few heavy showers developing across the eastern side

of the country into the afternoon as temperatures rise. then again, those temperatures rising, reaching highs of 19—20, 21 or 22 degrees in the warm spots. as we move through this week, high pressure holds on across the south of the country. these areas of low pressure skirt pass the north west and they will bring stronger winds, more cloud and some showery rain at times, particularly to parts of scotland and northern ireland. so, cloudier and breezier across northern and western areas. closer to the high pressure in the south, that's where you will see the best of the sunshine and the warmth.
