the sensitive names in iraq with reaction from baghdad to his homeland. iraqis will contend with the psychological trauma caused by baghdadi and i saw for a generation whether it was being displaced from their homes losing a loved one being injured raped or simply living in fear you'd be hard pressed to find an iraqi family not affected by isis reign of terror in iraq with the news that al baghdadi is dead you can pretty much be guaranteed that most iraqis are simply saying good riddance to their fellow iraki just as with osama bin laden and al qaeda the death of baghdad he does not necessarily mean a dissolution of eisel although of course it is in a weakened state there believed to be eisel sleeper cells across iraq they have been launching attacks i spoke to the top general of the u.s. led coalition to defeat eisel here in baghdad over the summer and he says that eisel has done a very good job of adapting and becoming a nimble insurgency that he says is resurging here in iraq and syria he says the fight against isis is far from over we've been speaking

president was was messaging after the killing of baghdad the right. yeah so the u.s. president had very much a victory lap approach to his announcement of the death of the isolated what we're hearing from the defense secretary and also the chair of the joint chiefs of staff general milley is essentially that they recognize well the ice a leader has been killed what hasn't died is the ideology behind the eisel group so this is sort of something that they are projecting in their message will also giving forward the the details elaborating a little bit on the details of the operation that led to the death of abu bakar alba dotty what's important to note in all of this is some of the discrepancies even within the press conference that just wrapped up in the last hour or so sami specifically when it comes to the messaging the fact that the u.s. president had said with part of his syria withdrawal that the united states was pulling troops out that's not what's happening it's a repositioning and we heard from the military leaders there that there are troops that are remainin

receiving quite dramatic pictures coming out of baghdad just remind us of the context of this why are these people in the streets and why is it deteriorating so badly. well the people in the room are in the streets for one very simple reason they're protesting in fact that they don't have jobs they don't have opportunities particularly in the poorer parts of society and that's why they're out on the streets also saying that the infrastructure is terrible there's no opportunities there also protesting against corruption which they say they say has led to a lack of development what has really shocked the government is the size of these protesters let me just give you some geography right now these live pictures that you're watching are actually taking place just road you probably can't see it but there's a black cloud of smoke just about half a kilometer away there are 2 bridges that lead into attack or a square on tuesday tucker a square was the focal point for the protesters in the middle of central baghdad and that's where they gathered and that's where all those clashes took place t
