top stories of the day the main headlines of the week thanks for joining us for the weekly here on out. this week has shed light on the fate of the small ethnic and religious minority of iraq that. despite the fall of islamic state thousands of this code speaking group still being held hostage many of them are children who have been abducted and sold at slave markets. the men went off. in the evenings they would get together and treat their women and have their fun with us. so. it was indescribable for last. turned into endless suffering tears and hunger i

couldn't do anything not cry according to top iraqi officials in twenty fourteen alone almost seven thousand years e.d.'s were kidnapped by ice we understand at least three thousand are still missing. reports on the long way home of some years edis straight from terrorist captivity. age ten location. starting bid ten thousand dollars russia age nine location turkey starting bid fifteen thousand dollars penis age eight location syria starting bid thirteen thousand dollars. age fifteen. baghdad sold for two and a hot thousand dollars d was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and

fifteen for near enough three years she enjoyed horrible things things that no fifteen year old girl or any woman should ever have to endure two hours ago she was bored back by her family here in baghdad no one called the police no one wanted to risk her life she spent her first hour of freedom crying in the hotel room where in my isis tells its hostages that their families will kill them if they ever return but her arrest would be brief as to how she shouldn't shops or to shut the fuck up with this so many people who are happy that she's. shortly after meeting her relatives took her shopping. she was rescued by a group of men who specialize in tracking down these e.d.'s kidnapped by isis they

then either negotiate a sale or steal them back their big gun secrecy i don't and she got you know i says say that if we show the girl still in that possession with their relatives a parent t.v. the deal will be off that they kill the hostages as such some of the. people involved didn't want to appear on camera but the stories. in which you get your good to this day one of the girls was kidnapped when she was sent. for. a consecutive house here where there are several girls son eleven twelve years old who were all raped gifted or sold as many as fifteen saw aims. if not for sexual pleasure isis brainwashes you see the children and sends them on suicide missions or sells them for money oh when isis fighters flee to turkey they sell their slaves because they

need money to go back to their home countries. you may not know but when the u.s. led coalition and their allies in syria reportedly led hundreds of isis fighters need to vent besieged graca whose jihad this took not only the guns and families but also the hostages and slaves the same people that are now being boarded back of the prices vary depending on where there are if they're in dangerous places you can be eighty thousand dollars otherwise around fifteen thousand. others also tracking down missing people one iraqi m.p. has made a name for himself rescuing children. she spend her own money buying out several of these kids and then to have you know one

of the girls told me the story of her escape she and her aunts were a nice escape to two of the terrorists watch them day and night to prevent them from running away then the girl told one of them that she couldn't sleep and asked to see a doctor the isis fighter gave her some sleeping pills she kept them and then put them in his teeth and. terrorists fell asleep and she and her managed to escape the girl was eight years old in the song and was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her that let's destroy and run away they will kill us anyway most and they skate three thousand years edis is still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the international community no longer really care is easy these don't attract the same ratings now that they aren't being slaughtered so it's up to them to recover their children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them

or i guess the odd see from the hawk iraq he called cited several human rights organizations about what's being done to help the victims of these crimes so far we have heard from the red cross and human rights watch. the battles in mosul and ramadi and fallujah all over iraq have yielded an overwhelming overwhelmingly large or high amount of missing people people who whose fate are unknown to the families are still looking for them whether they are in captivity with islamic state group or any other party in iraq if they have the right to know the fate of their loved ones whether they have been dead or are still alive somewhere in iraq being held by a certain party to a conflict. three years have passed the community still vastly displaced in their future the woman who brought back to come from captivity

. or taken care of those who are still in captivity are still there and there has been no international effort whatsoever this is a community singled out basically within the iraqi community and they are not supporting the women in. the areas that are neglected. you have not seen in any serious efforts by the british or baghdad government to ensure that completely victim get their day in court and get justice for what has been done to them even when some of these men and boys it needs to judges during the trials against them that they help you see the sex slaves by but you see these are not being invited into the room are not being invited to these trials and are not being granted real access to justice. and israeli court has

extended the detention of a sixteen year old palestinian girl and her mother after the daughter was caught on video shoving and slapping two i.d.f. soldiers the court says the pair posed a danger ahead tommy confronted the two soldiers in front of a house in the west by. and after a relative was hit by a rubber bullet a video of the incident with the head went viral with some hailing it as a symbol of palestinian resistance. and. the footage shows ahead along with her cousin kicking and shoving the i.d.f. soldiers then mother joins in. cousin was arrested but released after forty eight hours detention of the pair had been angered after another all the heads cousins a fourteen year old boy that one right was injured after being hit in the face by an israeli rubber bullet i had father has defended his daughter saying she feels

that she had no choice but to take action. to pull his physically the one of the four the palestinian issue she believe that we must study or the time she needs to be. in the. in the clashes with me. this is what she believes in if for that when the. head when she saw. the me she became more they give more to. leave it to fight the we requested comment from the israeli defense forces on the girls' case the i.d.f. said she's being investigated for suspected assault on a soldier and also for throwing rocks at the girl's twitter account has been deleted there was unclear whether ahead herself is behind the move and we spoke with former i.d.f. soldier or you weisberg he says the israeli presence in some palestinian areas is at a very high military level hence why such incidents are. the video

that's gone viral with her slapping and pushing two soldiers. is not part of a protest it went much more viral once they showed up. later on a few days later early in the morning and arrested her a sixteen year old girl for pushing somebody who was without any sort of authorization standing on her property image of a fearless young woman she's sixteen standing up to fully armed soldiers and the soldiers if you notice they come into these villages and i did when i served in the i.d.f. as well fully armed for battle the heavy military presence with in palestinian communities it's thirty years old the amount of force is overwhelming these soldiers are only partially trained for doing what are essentially police duties but you notice they're in full battle dress they don't look like police and i don't

think that the i.d.f. sees itself as in a precarious position and the tensions have been high on the region since donald trump decision at the start of the month to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital he also announced the intention to move the u.s. embassy there from tel aviv of a standoff between israelis and palestinians has continued for four weeks now with many left injured and the dead. you to feel such a. feeling .

this is the floor it's friday rage actually palestinians all over gaza strip east jerusalem and the west bank are demonstrating and protesting against donald trump's declaration days right behind me is throwing tear gas canisters on the protestors

as since the morning since that announcement was made. well you can smell the tear gas from here so those terms made that announcement fourteen palestinians have been killed and those figures according to the palestinian hope ministry they also report that more than three thousand people have been injured it's escalating it's uprising but that is right the army has been at throwing tear gas canisters all the protests. are running away from the but for some. days right he's not being sued live i mean a c n i probably has one that's landed very very very close to where he was standing so. the situation here. for the last month. quite tense and we can safely smile to save a way does that mean a since there were at least five ambulances that. floor or three injuries are still many of your top stories to come here on the

program including shortly before rock in syria was recaptured thousands of eisold terrorists were actually allowed to leave with the full knowledge of the us led coalition or shot someone told that story in a moment. but hopes it's just to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be present. somehow want to. keep going. this is what. the more people are. interested always in the water.

a year ago they said the relatives would hate them. and it's. inspiring to hear some telephone call or a person coming. in my room the same where it says my wife has just died thank you. thanks for joining us a u.s. backed syrian democratic forces have told me that thousands of terrorists and their families were allowed to leave shortly before the city was recaptured it is claimed the deal with islamic state was agreed upon with the full knowledge of the american coalition we're going to show you a video which the u.s. the fighters shared with us they claim it shows

a convoy of trucks carrying eisold terrorists and drivers claim they were misled about the convoy in fact they say they were told they would only be carrying displaced civilians the deal allowed i saw militants to escape deeper into syria well others reportedly made their way north straight into turkey. i saw the arsenal fight to stay left in the resort i don't know where they went after that there were. people fleeing i saw a flight this along with the. others seem to be unharmed. working at the green storehouse when we saw. there were lots of them but we were not afraid. according to the truck drivers they transported around four thousand people a convoy it was around seven kilometers long despite an agreement to own. take personal weapons there were ten trucks loaded with arms and ammunition and dozens

of foreign fighters also reportedly managed to escape with some of them making it out of syria and the drivers say that they were shouted at and threatened along the entire route well the u.s. led coalition has confirmed that this deal did take place however it denies taking any part in the so-called negotiations the coalition also says only four foreign fighters were in the entire seven kilometer long convoy and they were later captured by the u.s. t.f. or international relations professor jamal wakim says if indeed washington did play a part in the deal although it says that it did and that would actually undermine its claims to be fighting terror this video. to the material evidence of the implication of the united states to me and the fighters with this is. evidence to the fact that the united states you would you swear.

they were allowed to do three. through american. lines to a safe haven maybe to other areas where they could fight the syrian army and their allies i believe that this also undermines the claim of the united states that it's fighting terrorism and. gives it added to the accusations that the united states is using resume as a door to achieve geopolitical objectives and. intimately. austria's recently sworn in chancellor says the e.u. is migrant relocation quotas are not helping to solve the refugee crisis sebastian kurtz believes the problem should be handled in the migrants home countries. migrants who settle for europe don't want to go to bulgaria are hungry they want to go to germany austria sweden they should be held in safe areas in their own continent the e.u. should support that perhaps even organize it and back it militarily they have been

somewhat similar calls in the past from other european leaders last month the french president proposed military action to put an end to people trafficking in libya but a dollar from the damascus center for strategic studies believes such an approach is deeply flawed to send european troops or european armies to aborted. very. safe zones i think it's not practical in first of all these arms would be involved in the internal affairs of these countries and their reaction from the law people will be may be negatively they will lose a lot of. soldiers first so i think to be engaged in internal a verse of any county it would be reflected on their internal affairs and i think they should read very good the story of syria during seven years they should read

this story of libya the story of here man this story in africa and i don't think that this is a good approach to these pictures show just how desperate some migrants are they are crossing the alps from italy to reach france battling freezing temperatures and often inadequate clothing trying to seek a better life in europe european leaders are now increasingly looking towards the migrants home country again believes they are just using the crisis to exert their influence on the region. you would be. feeding that. outside of the now example. to go shoot against. first fleet we can all see that the role is very important so because of the

trying. to upon us each culture is putting its own stamp on making this time of the american community there's the chance of celebrating agents are somewhat unusual with christmas festivities still underway americans are waking up to find donald trump sending out greetings for yet another holiday today marks the first day of kwanzaa a week long celebration of african-american heritage and culture that's a celebrate the richness of the post and look toward a brighter future kids are static at the start of kwanzaa kwanzaa a holiday that millions of people around the world hold dear a secular celebration to honor african american and pan african heritage and values never heard of kwanzaa don't worry you're not alone according to a survey taken in the last three years this holiday season is the african-american christmas is actually only celebrated by less than three percent of african-americans do you celebrate kwanzaa no i don't celebrate kwanzaa i don't so

it kind of. i try not to get too involved with so much hype of all these different festivities you know anything about the history is it something you identify with i really don't. i haven't really been exposed to much about kwanzaa i actually don't think too much about it i grew up celebrating christmas the thing about donald trump sending out a statement for kwanzaa you know today a lot of stuff that he does it's pretty hypocritical so nothing he does it surprise me so what is kwanzaa what is it all about well the holiday was started back in one thousand nine hundred sixty six by dr melodic harang. he is a black nationalist and he felt like the holiday would strengthen the african-american community and resist the white majority i wanted to give black people a holiday of their own so i came up with kwanzaa i said it was african because you know black people in this country wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was american now just five years after he came up with kwanzaa kurang i actually went to prison for torturing two of his female followers now in the media generally

chooses to ignore his jail term and his nationalist views when they do coverage of the holiday and they also still invite him on to talk about it however at this point we've learned that not everyone in the african-american community is a big fan of kwanzaa there is no holiday in the on the continent of africa associated with this set of events this is all made up by a person who when the radicals in the nineteen sixty's the black panthers were operating thought he was too radical for them and he wasn't able to be a part of what they were doing and he helped put this forward as a way of distinguishing himself and trying to build a greater following african-americans have a diverse and rich history but kwanzaa seems to have very little to do with it many african-americans don't see a need to celebrate what they consider to be an artificial holiday kaleb mop an

dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on city parking space is not a solution. someone wanted touring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all they're a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. when the makers manufacture consent to step into the public wells. when the ruling

classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. the real news is really cold. previously on the great american pilgrimage after can't speak
