i stand here today as a yazidi. not even as the free yazidi foundation. i was a yazidi. my people suffer. after four years they still suffer. why is no one talking about the more than 3,000 women and girls in captivity? if any one of you was missing a little girl, amber alert would go off on everyone's phone. i even received one this morning. why is no one caring about my family? til today i have lost 17 girls in my family. no one is talking about it. i still have to sit here and talk about the yazidi genocide. where more do you want to know? 21 members of my family are dead in mass graves, and no one's looking where they are, no one is identifying them. after four years. because probably people do not care about the yazidis. i am grateful for events that are taking place to raise more awareness about our people. but believe me when i say that not much is being done for my people. things that need to be changed -- no, i want to say one thing. today, 3 august, today is about the yazidi people. i'm emotional and i am angry. today, 3 august, it should be about yazidis, the

but then we went to meet with some yazidis, yazidi refugees, and the experience with the yazidi refugees just accented the day and made it so much more powerful. i'm gonna let abbas talk about what happened with the yazidis. >> yeah. i mean, we met with them at the hotel, and there were about three or four of them that came and shared personal stories. one was when the yazidi refugees -- which, yazidis, which i didn't know, they're not muslims or they're not christians. they're in a religion of their own. and they were isolated in the mountains, and the isis folks did not provide them with access to food or water for more than a week. and that one by itself was very disturbing, trying to just isolate people and leave them by themselves. but the worst one was when they were talking about how the isis people were forcing women with infants to take their kids, they used to kill their kids, and force them to actually eat their own kids. it was just -- it is something that is embedded here that will never go away. i mean, that kind of stuff. you know, it was very disturbing. >> how do you eve

yazidi cloud that brought the rain in the shower clouds chasing him from the west but also bringing into fresher conditions will be a temporary one. having said that friday morning, starting off on a pretty cool note. single—digit temperatures in a few places. a fair amount of brightness through the morning and some of these will remain. out west we see thickening clouds and patchy rain, northern ireland and west scotland. those temperatures generally around the mid to high teens but down towards the southeast, some sunshine up to 22 or 23 degrees. as we move out of friday into saturday this is the warm front that works its way eastward taking some son with it and behind that we bring in not only a lot of clout in moisture but some misty and murky conditions but also some warm and actually quite humid air. noticed northern area staying in the coolair air. noticed northern area staying in the cool air in marking out the divide between the cool air in humid air is the weather front. during saturday bringing the weather front, maybe into northern england and south of that some sunshine, r

also, can we assume that a top priority of this fund will be support of the yazidis? >> last question first. you conservatism that. that is an enormously important priority. the genocide recovery and persecution response program is going to be submitted by usaid. it's intended to do very local, very grassroots household level support for the victims of genocide. i don't have any numbers on other donors for the religious freedom fund or how that is actually going to work. i know usaid and will have an implementer for this program with expertise on isis genocide specifically. and have a demonstrated ability to distribute the funds and iraq. in other words, we're not going to get an implementer who has no experience with iraq or actually with this crisis. it has to be somebody with that kind of experience. then i think i'll resent most of what i can say. $17 million extra. we already do a lot. $5 million for accountability and justice, and we will also be contributing to the fund. there are by some of the things i'm not remembering. >> we have time for one last question,
