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, homeland of the yazidi people. 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 deminer, working with a british ngo, the mines advisory group.

when amsha firstjoined mag, she worked as a dog handler. it was the start of a new career and an important step in her path to recovery.

iraq remains one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. 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 ordnance 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 theirfamilies 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 5000 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. the weather on sunday is going to be a little hit and miss, particularly across england. you are likely to have a lot more cloud around compared to saturday and there will be a few showers around, too. but across scotland and northern ireland i think it is a case of sunshine right from the word go.

now on the satellite picture, you can notice this little lump of cloud drifting out of the south—west. it's a weak weather front, it's actuallyjoining a big area of low pressure to the north but that will bring some showers to parts of wales and england from morning onwards. so this is what it looks like through the early hours, you can see some rain affecting parts of devon, dorset into wales and the midlands, a stray shower in the north of scotland. but generally speaking, it's a clear night in scotland, northern ireland, probably the lake district as well. but many of us in england and wales will be waking up to overcast skies and it could actually stay like that through the afternoon as well. but i think the biggest chance of catching some heavier showers further south into the midlands, but also around wales and east anglia. the best of the weather on sunday northern ireland, scotland, the lake district should be fine, but modest highs here, 16 to 18. in the south, despite the cloud and the showers will still manage around 21

also in london. you can see, there's the clock, 8pm, 9pm, still some showers around in the evening across parts of england and wales. so not a completely dry day but with a bit of luck you'll have prolonged sunny spells rather than the heavy showers. on monday, also likely to be some showers around, particularly across northern and eastern areas of the uk. so the best of the weather, although a little bit hazy at times out towards the west, i think. but decent enough, temperatures around 22 in london, 20 in liverpool and should probably nudge up to around 20 in glasgow as well for monday. and then the rest of the week, tuesday, wednesday and thursday we'll see the jet stream pushing low pressures and weather fronts mostly between scotland and iceland, but there is just the chance that some of these weather systems will clip the very far north—west of the uk and the south will be closer to the high pressure, so basically the further south you are, the better the weather will be in the week ahead. further north, dry generally but always a bit more cloud. that's it from me, bye—bye.
