On Sunday, Donald Trump made the very sudden decision to pull U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria, leaving the Syrian Democratic forces (SDF) on their own in that part of the country, as Turkish forces moved in across the Syrian border.  In the midst of all this are the tens of thousands of ISIS fighters who’ve been captured by the SDF. As well as their wives and children. Host Tamara Khandaker talks to Global News investigative journalist Stewart Bell who was in Syria last week. They take you inside the Al-Hawl camp, where tens of thousands of women and children, many of whom are loyal to ISIS, are being held. What do the latest developments mean for them?
