Smugglers help Yazidis escape IS

An Iraqi businessman whose family were held hostage by Islamic State (IS) militants has been helping to smuggle other hostages out of territory held by the violent group.

Hundreds of Yazidi women captured by IS have been freed thanks to an international network of smugglers run by the businessman.

However, there are concerns that the money given to smugglers to get people out, is going straight to Islamic State.
