The Daily Mirror is equally critical: "Unless the world acts, there is a dreadful possibility we will witness a genocide on a scale not seen since the slaughter in Rwanda 20 years ago." The Independent says Baghdad said there was "striking evidence" that at least 500 Yazidis were murdered in recent days and hundreds of women enslaved.

Not a single minister appeared in front of the TV cameras yesterday."
The Daily Mirror is equally critical: "Unless the world acts, there is a dreadful possibility we will witness a genocide on a scale not seen since the slaughter in Rwanda 20 years ago." The Guardian's Martin Chulov, in the town of Duhok, reports on the escape of at least half of the 40,000 people besieged by jihadists on a mountain top in northern Iraq. He says the refugees, all members of the Yazidi sect, began streaming back into Iraqi Kurdistan after a perilous journey past Islamic State militants.
The Independent says Baghdad said there was "striking evidence" that at least 500 Yazidis were murdered in recent days and hundreds of women enslaved. The Times says a group of MPs expressed dismay at Britain's efforts so far to save minority religious groups in the north of Iraq, and called on Mr Cameron to recall Parliament. On US strategy, the Financial Times says air strikes have failed to roll back the Islamic State's advance and can be seen as a propaganda victory for the group.
