The World
A scene at the market in al-Hol camp, northern Syria.

In the third and final part of our reporting series from Syria, we have the story of a woman who married an American member of ISIS. She shares the story of her life under the brutal extremist group and the challenges she faces now. Also, in Barbados, there’s a public outcry over a potential land deal that involves property owned by a member of the British parliament whose family got rich from the labor of enslaved people on the island. And, Toronto is seeing an epidemic of car thefts. A vehicle is being stolen about once every 40 minutes. We’ll hear about how people there are trying to protect their cars.  Listen to today’s Music Heard on Air.
