BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Unthinkable Loss

The Yazidis still searching for missing relatives; exposing abuse in Chile's Church.

Pascale Harter introduces stories from Iraq, where some Yazidis who survived IS are still looking for missing kin, and from Chile's Catholic Church, Sweden's election and Turkey.

Four years since the so-called Islamic State swept through northern Iraq and carried out what the UN called a genocidal attack on the Yazidi people who lived there, Lyse Doucet returns to see what remains.  
Linda Pressly meets a Chilean woman who posed as a young boy online in her quest to get the police and the Catholic Church to investigate allegations of abuse in the priesthood. 
Gabriel Gatehouse has a mysterious but revealing encounter with a real-life troll in Stockholm, as he tries to explain the rise of nationalism in supposedly liberal Sweden. 
And Chris Robinson discovers why an increasing number of men are travelling to Istanbul to undergo hair transplant surgery.
