Today's video story: Yazidi survivor: 'I was raped every day for six months'. Nearly three years ago, so-called Islamic State fighters swept through northern Iraq, where the country’s oldest ethnic minority were living - the Yazidis. Many of the men were shot, while the women and children were kidnapped, taken as hostage and raped.

Focus of the day story:  Despite Charlie Gard’s tragic story, we must respect the process of our courts. The judicial process is not infallible, but even heartbreaking decisions must not lead us to undermine the reasoned process that protects all of our rights. Full story - Guardian Law
