or held other values but there are also other scenes and argues for conny at the last moment some yazidi women and children are able to leave after being slaves for almost five years it might have been a relief for them if it wasn't for the other problems they face. i don't know about the fate of my father my mother my four brothers all of them were imprisoned by his only one brother got out but. it's believed many you see the women and children are still in the hands of islamists somewhere for conny and may soon be liberated for some that will end a long nightmare but for many others the suffering is likely to go on. now to some other stories making news around the walt. in a stranger fire crews are battling numerous bushfires in the country's southeast hundreds of people have been evacuated in victoria some thirty fires burned across
