injured. there's nothing here. there's no facilities, no hospital, no care. the survivors shell-shocked and shattered. soldiers and civilians have paid a terrible price. for a war they didn't choose. 6-year-old malack and her 15-year-old sister were forced to help those who were terrorizing them. they were used as human shields. isis fighters made them run into the line of fire of the advancing iraqi army. their father was killed. both girls more everically injured. you can see where the little girl was shot, she's obviously had surgery here, and she's got bullet wounds as well. she's also got wounds here. you can see three distinct scars there. it looks like the bullets perhaps went through her. it's an absolute miracle that malack is alive. and her name, in english, means "angel." she's a really strong little girl. you're super strong. yeah.

dalal wants to become a teacher, to use education as a weapon against isis. her little sister, just trying to enjoy life as only a 6-year-old can. too many children bear the wounds of war. physical and mental scars, symbols of their survival. and miraculously, despite an uncertain future, their hopes and dreams are still alive. for nightline, ian panel, in mosul, iraq. >> our thanks to ian panel for that report. >> we'll be right back. born to outperform the #1... prestige eye cream for better hydration. and your best look yet.

would have done things a little differently. for me, it was opposition research, it had something, i wanted to hear it out. >> did you ever meet with any other person from russia that you know? >> i don't know. i've probably met with other people from russia but not in the context of a formalized meeting or anything like that. because why would i? >> reporter: when asked in march by the "new york times" whether he'd ever had campaign han related meetings with russian, donald trump jr. said none that were set up and certainly none that i was representing the campaign in any way, shape or form. and just a month after the meeting with the russian lawyer, don jr. angrily dismissed suggestions the trump campaign had anything to do with russia. >> it's disgusting. it's so phony. >> reporter: also entangled in all of this, donald trump's s n son-in-law jared kushner, who aattendanted the meeting with

the russian lawyer after don jr. forwarded him the e-mail chain with the subject line russia, clinton, private and confidence. what do you say to democrats who say that jared kushner's security clearance should be revehicled. >> once again, we don't discuss security clearance, but i think democrats are trying to play political games, and i think it's ridiculous. rar is there any concern over the top adviser -- >> no. >> reporter: aides describe him as angry and frustrated. but these images emerged. the president meeting with faith leaders in the oval office, laying their hands on him in prayer. the president also talked about his meeting with vladimir putin in germany and said that the first 20 to 25 meinutes of the meeting were on russian meddling in the election. i said, did you do it? he said no, absolutely not.
