at slave markets. like. the men went off for ice and skits and in the evenings they would get together and treat their women and have their fun with us. it was indescribable for me laugh attendant and the suffering tears and hunger i couldn't do anything not cry. in two thousand and fourteen the year i sold the cleared its caliph it almost seven thousand seven thousand people were captured by the terrorist group and three thousand are still missing but i've got to have reports now on the long way home. from terrorist captivity. age ten location. ten thousand dollars

russia age nine location turkey starting bid fifteen thousand dollars keenness age eight location syria starting bid for the thousand dollars. age fifteen. baghdad sold for two and a hot thousand dollars d.c. was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and fifteen for near enough three years she enjoyed horrible things things that new fifteen year old girl or any woman should ever have to endure two hours ago she was 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 bear in mind isis tells its

hostages that their families will kill them if they ever return but her arrest would be brief asking her if she was going to show sufficient. and up front about that with very seriously so many people who are happy that she's. telling shortly after our 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 they have begun secrecy i know and she got you know i says say that if we show the girls still in the possession with their relatives apparent t.v. the deal will be off that they'd kill the hostages as such some of the. people involved didn't want to appear on camera but their stories.

it is one of the girls was kidnapped when she was sent a noise of rapes for three years consecutive a house here where there are several girls san eleven twelve years old who were all raped the gifted are sold as many as fifteen signs. if not for sexual pleasure isis brainwashes u.c.d. 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 the then 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 herself rescuing children. she spend her own money buying out several of these kids and the other half after that one of the girls told me the story of her escape she and her aunts were in isis captivity two of the terrorists watched 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 fights or gave her some sleeping pills she kept them and put them in the seat the terrorist fell asleep and she and her on managed to escape the girl was eight years old. was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her let's

try and run away they will kill us anyway and i escaped three thousand years edis is still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the international community no longer really cares if these. do to track the same ratings now that they aren't being slaughtered so it's up to them to recover their own children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them more i guess the odd see from the hawk iraq. a small passenger plane has crashed in a mountainous area of costa rica killing all twelve people on board the aircraft was carrying ten american tourists and two local pilots these pictures show the burning wreckage they were released by the coast to regain the public safety ministry and nature air charter flight took off from point a its lead to on sunday

and was heading for san jose the cause of the crash is being investigated and the u.s. state department is working with the local authorities to identify the victims. austria's new chancellor says that he used migrant relocation quotas are not helping solve the refugee crisis sebastian kurtz believes the problem should be handled in the migrants home countries migrants who cecile 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 lance perhaps even organize it and back it militarily well there have been similar calls in the past from other european leaders last month french president manual proposed military action to help and people trafficking in libya. from the damascus center of strategic studies believes such an approach is deeply

flawed. to send european troops or european armies to protect these. virtual slave zones i think it's not practical in first of all these armies would be involved in the internal affairs of this country 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 account you would 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 the story of libya the story of yemen the story in africa and i don't think that this is a good approach. well these pictures show how desperate some migrants are they are

trying to cross the alps from italy to reach france they are 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 countries but. believes that they are using the crisis to exert their influence on the region you've been you know the feeling that they are. outside of the political settlement now example outside in libya. they started to go shit against libya then they became not. the first of libya. yemen this is maybe in africa we cannot see that the role is very important so because of the trying to. to their rule in the middle east. gaza and the west bank

eighteen in style with breathtaking fireworks shows here are some highlights from around the globe. i. i. all right two thousand and seventeen saw plenty of new faces enter the political

arena and well they had plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with the old guard but things not always go so smoothly. close the police i just thought oh. cut. it out and if. you close. the old china and despoiled her. mother please her and

her her. children will you know look up. meanwhile for kids here in moscow there are better things to do than follow global politics or asked to some youngsters what they think of world leaders thank you but you were right and. you are going to say here. look at me look at me. look. i'm going to be. you know ready we haven't got

any questions. you're not right yet i'm going to show you a picture ok. ok i'm showing a picture. oh of do you know who she is she looks like donald trump what do you think she does for a living off the next one here's our. who is. going to war. that's going to be some kind of a former. acting or comedian. i think experience these eight oh right days are really. in the eighty's achingly jobs of that is a. credit yeah. who do you think it is. what do you think she does for a living. friggin beer and listening to music no one had so.

what kind of music do you think she's listening to. just bawling. and. me and leaving good morning. my name. you miss me when i'm. in are really hard and. if he's. what you think they're doing here. docs. i don't think i have to very stern expression. when to be unfortunate. not to feel really. really good when you say. i can't

do it but that don't. worry whether you know. what politicians are trying to say is not always that easy especially with the sound turned off so we asked people on the streets to try and guess. it was. bad and you freshly made. the rest of this good though years a big joke oh yeah very nice. they're talking about. but they don't talk about the takeover of the world if you've got a cold yes i think i do have a cold and could even hear out of this if. i think you should. twice at night time we didn't really know but you know i was deluded.

into her because she would not listen to me i have had the same problem she does. try and say something between you two important leaders so tell the future you are together with you in the middle. of. the job thing between the willing. to go yeah i want i want my lines couple of times i get. you sure you know what to say no that's ok i know you have stage fright ok. but i just just know ok i know i know you. could. feel. i over some two thousand and seventeen was a year of conflict and a tragedy our video agency ruptly picked out some of the darker and also lighter moments for take a look. lists. i . was eleven.

eleven. eleven. eleven. all right the new year's at the time line is working its way across the atlantic in about an hour and a half it will be in the united states right now we are in two thousand eight hundred there in two thousand and seventeen the future looks bright from here and watch march international.

little cold snow we're. in the studio to it is a little. east of. the saw the four college

close sort. of. tone of welcome to worlds apart that is the last thing one would want to talk about their new year's eve but in russia paradoxically it's also a source of hope and renewal palliative care barely existed in this country just two decades ago now provides one of the most inspiring examples of civil active is not only influencing governments but also becoming part of it how can that we people die change the way people believe well to discuss that i'm now joined by i mean the feather messer had

a moscow soundtrack for palliative care you does great to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for your time now. about a decade ago i used to volunteer for a small school hostas know what i needed to set up by your mother there are millions to cover and i know that at that time there wasn't wasn't even the notion of failure to carry in russian law i know it has changed since then but it's certainly not fully or properly legislated i wonder if when you look back at what has been done and what still needs to be done are you more inspired or depressed. i think both because when i look backwards i get inspired when i look forward to depressed because there's still a lot of things to be done we still have lots of difficulties with pain killing and we still don't have enough forms of golf and that would follow. the philosophy of political mainly have injections and we've got to have pills we've got to have siren for children we'll have to have all sprays we don't have all that and. of

course we could have bought it all abroad but policy. in drugs in russian federation doesn't let us do this and it's quite a long time till we have it all produced here in russia i think that the first in that known in vain.
