out because it is rubble. barely a building not half destroyed or severely damaged by the airstrikes, the suicide bombing, the car bombs, and the fight with the coalition. little really to live in left there. a lot to rebuild or perhaps you start from scratch. but the fundamental point of all of this is that it appears if the peshmerga get their numbers together, the coalition will back them up with consistent airstrikes and willing to work with each other. the question we don't have the answer to is did isis give up or simply unable to fill enough forces to hold on to that town. that's what e we don't know. they have left lift in the wake for those who fled the reign to go back to. >> nick paton walsh in sinjar, thank you so much. keep up the excellent reporting. next, back to politics.
