Grip of isis fighters right now. Our Senior International correspondent initial peyton walsh is joining us live. Hes in baghdad. What do we know about this Iraqi Military offensive . Who exactly is taking part . At this stage, wolf ill explain the scene around me. We know the last hours or so have been fraught by a sandstorm. Were in the back end of this here in baghdad. Which explains the mist youre seeing behind me. That will have substantially slowed progress on the ground militarily. Who is involved in this . Well for the most part people in fact who will not benefit too much from the cover the sandstorm provides. On the progovernment side the shia militia, also we are aware that the police and military are involved in this too. Isis have had a week or so now to dig in. This flurry of activity began with announcements this morning, state television inhad thing at a big operation to take anbar but it was the shia militia surprised many i think, by stamping their mark on this operati
Celebration. We asked how do we decide who gets rescued. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy. A military touchstone and now a cloud of questions. We dont leave americans behind. Thats unequivocal. Lets talk, live in the cnn newsroom. Good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. Breaking news to tell you about at the top of the show. Were just learning this morning a second u. S. Military jet has crashed. This time an atef super hornet plummeted into the waters of the california coast. Keep in mind this is the second crash of a military jet in less than 24 hours. A hairier jet went down in a california neighborhood just yet. Flames and black smoke rose from the wreckage on the streets in the town of imperial, california. People had to run for safety. Three homes were absolutely destroyed, but amazingly, no one on the ground was hurt and the pilot managed to eject. Cnns Barbara Starr and kyung lah are following the story. I want t
Conference any moment. And police say they have a got an call after 1 00 this morning. Shots fired in a parking lot near one of the campus dormitories. One person killed. The shooter now in police custody. Three others also shot and taken to the hospital. Young men from the Delta Chi Fraternity were involved but again exactly how is unclear so well continue to work to get information and were standing by for that press conference any minute. Earlier on cnn a student described what it was like waking up to news of that deadly shooting on campus. Take a listen. I actually received a text message at like 3 00 in the morning from the university. We have a group like a text message alert system. And it pretty much just stated there was a shooting. Suspect in custody. But it was at 3 00 a. M. After the fact. So i woke up to texts from my family and my brother and the university all at the same time. So it was kind of chaotic. You dont expect that in flagstaff. This is a pretty small town. Pr

Thanks for joining me. Im Fredricka Whitfield. One meaning, two different takeaways. Vladimir putin is giving a firsthand account of his facetoface meeting with President Trump during the g20 summit. U. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson had said that the president confronted putin about interference in the u. S. Election, but putin says he and trump are in agreement that russia was not involved. Did trump agree with your position that russia had not intervened in the u. S. Elections . Well, he let me repeat he answered all the questions and i think that he agreed with it. But i think its better so to ask him exactly what you asked rather than me. All right. But unlike putin and other World Leaders at the g20, we did not hear from President Trump directly asaysing his trip. In fact, moments ago we see him along with first lady melania in their departure from hamburg as they are soon to walk up those steps and get right back into air force one.
