"the people are between the hammer of the army and militias and the anvil of daesh" this imam says. those when are inside cannot leave, and those who are outside cannot help them. aid agencies are already calling the battle for fallujah a human tragedy, but calls for corridors to be established to let civilians escape the fighting have so far, scott, produced nothing. >> pelley: mark phillips in the london newsroom tonight. mark, thank you. it was a violent holiday weekend in chicago. there were 42 shootings and six people were killed. that shooting epidemic is claiming other victims as well-- the children who witness the violence. dean reynolds now on a program that helps them deal with their wounds. >> reporter: the police dispatch calls come with numbing regulator. but for those who see what the rest of us only hear, there's a pain that is real and long lasting. on the far south side of chicago, young eyewitnesses are trying to talk their way through it. in a 16-week program called "story squad," kids 8-18 learn how to compose narratives that turn their harrowing personal experiences into recorded stories. >> reporter: 16-year-old malik hunter was one of the first participants. what does it give you to talk about it?
