Did hehe say what is this s pla to watch your is now streaming exclusively on max hello thanks for joining me. I'm alex marquardt in this weekend for fredricka whitfield, new details coming into cnn seven, u. S. Troops it's our recovering after they were hurt in a raid that killed at least 14 members of the radical group, i. S. I. S. That raid happening thursday in iraq. And according to u. S. Central command it targeted i. S. I. S. Leaders in order to disrupt the group's ability to plan future attacks. And you're looking at brand new images of the cache of weapons and other items that were seized in that raid in the anbar desert in western iraq, iraqi militia sorry, just releasing these pictures cnn's chief international security correspondent, nick paton walsh, is following these developments and has the latest from london will be hearing more details from the iraqi military as to exactly what's happened in frankly, the middle of the anbar desert in western iraq in the early hours of thursday morning, only coming to light on saturday through this american sneak. Now, the rockies referred to how this month operation took two months in the preparation of intelligence and targeting and how they were after for specific hideouts in that area. This is a pretty sparsely populated part of iraq mostly desert as far as we can tell they seem to say that these hideouts indeed camouflaged suggesting possibly some sort of camp. This was hit by airstrikes 4:00 in the morning local time on thursday, followed up by it seems the airborne insertion of troops, quite likely there were americans involved in this raid because of the injuries we're hearing about that's the rocky say led to 14 dead, one less than the american statements suggests that the i. S. I. S. Fighters there were found with explosive belts and hand grenades. Now, they appear to have been the rockies following this raid up early saturday morning at 4m, arriving at the site to look at the damage, do an assessment and that resulted in too further people being arrested early saturday morning as well, who appear to be trying to leave that area with important documents. The american statement more sparse, referring to the seven injured and how to of those required further care. And in fact, two of the seven having fallen during the operation, perhaps not wounded as part of combat there. But frankly, this is clearly an example of an american raid with iraq he's a did not go according to plan and a sign i think of how ferocious i. S. I. S. Can still be in certain parts of iraq and indeed syria as well. In fact, st. Com recently have worn the defeat i. S. I. S. Mission over the past six months, the first six months of 2024, causing 40 for i. S. I. S. Operatives to be killed than 160 he sticks detained. The majority of their operations in syria, but the majority of the i. S. I. S. Dead operatives in iraq. So clearly, 2019 when the fall of boggles and the remnants of the califate has not heralded the end of the i. S. I. S. Threat in either iraq or syria, which continues obviously hear the americans warning that they are at this pace looking to double potentially the number of i. S. I. S. Operations they do compare to the same period in the previous year. Why? well, clearly there has been an issue in iraq and syria where the defeat of the caliphate itself was not followed through with lengthy political settlements or a bid to try and remove as societal grief you can see is that allowed? the warped version of islam, islam, that is i. S. I. S to take root in iraq and syria. And so they appear to have found a space to regroup the repeated deaths through us operations of isisk leaders, as has been a pause now, have a ebrahim alqurayshi in charge for a reasonable period of time with some analysts jesse that has enabled some element of stability and regrouping. But we see i. S. I. S at times through i. S. I. S. K. Or other groups associated with threats in europe, often from teenagers, singular act as it often seems unclear, their relationship to the group. In the middle east but the biden ministration often i'm suggesting that terrorism, essentially as it used to be a threat ten years ago, has now mostly under control, yet we see in central asia at times and russia at times at singular moments in europe, the persistent notion of the i. S. I. S. Branding, having traction with some individuals and instances like this and iraq and syria. A reminder i've how they retain an operating space in the middle east still. Nick paton walsh, cnn, london thanks to nick paton walsh for that report. Now, to the race for the white house where reproductive rights are taking center stage. Vice president kamala harris blasting her rival donald trump for saying that he will vote no on an amendment to florida as abortion law. The amendment is on the ballot in florida this november. And if enough, voters in florida vote know that would pave the way, the way for a sixweek abortion ban to stay in effect, the former president appearing to flip flop on this highly divisive issue in recent days earlier this week he seemed to indicate that he planned to vote to overturn the florida ban when he cast his ballot in november yesterday, he again reverse course i think six weeks you need more time than six weeks. I've disagreed with that right from the early primaries so when i heard about it, i disagreed with it. At the same time, the democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation that we're, you can do an abortion and the night's month and, you know, some of the states like minnesota and other states have it where you can actually execute the baby after birth. And all of that stuff is unacceptable. So i'll be voting no for that reason now, of course, we need to point out it is illegal to execute a baby and no state anywhere in this country are you allowed to kill a child after it is born? there is no basis for that claim there by the former president i want to bring in cnn's priscilla alvarez. She is covering these developments for us as well as the harris campaign. So what is the campaign? now saying about this changing position by trump over, over abortion? well, they're using it as another data point in their argument that the foreign president has flipflopped on this issue. And reminding voters that he has previously boasted about the overturning roe v wade because of the justices that he put on the supreme court. Now in a statement from the vice president herself yesterday, she said the following quote, donald trump just made his position on abortion very clear. He will vote to uphold an abortion ban so extreme it applies before many women even know they're pregnant she goes on to say that he is not done and concludes with the choice in this election is clear. Now of course, the campaign has seen abortion, reproductive rights as a galvanizing, galvanizing issue among voters. It's one that they feel that they have the momentum and they're going to launch a reproductive rights tour on tuesday in florida, where it's on the ballot and what the former president donald trump was replying to there on tuesday. So they're going to have at least 50 stops. It's going to be mostly surrogates, elected officials and celebrities. But what it indicates to us is just how much they see it as an issue where they have the upper hand one that they can bank on and one that is clearly resonating among voters simply by the fact that we're seeing the phone for a president. And as vice presidential nominee have to answer questions about this, as well as infertility and ivf now, the vice president had been put as the voice of this issue earlier in the year when it was the thenbiden campaign, she had her own reproductive rights tour at the start of the year. It's one of those stops where she called them the trump abortion bans were referring to restrictions across the country. So clearly now at being the harris campaign, it is an issue that they are going to consistently put front and center and often also frame as freedoms and protecting freedom. So it's not only the issue, but also them taking sort of a broadening out of that putting it under this umbrella of multiple freedoms that are at risk. A former president donald trump were to take a second term. So seizing on this on the campaign trail emphasizing his change position, which will almost certainly be brought up in the debate on september 10, which we assume is going to happen. Both sides say that they want this debate to happen, but there's still quibbling over the rules. One role in particular, and that is whether the microphone staying on or off, the reason that this has become a sticking point is because when it was then biden campaign, they have wanted the microphones to be often another candidate was speaking. That was how the rules were for the cnn debate. That was the expectation for the abc debate. Now, abc says that they're going to use similar rules, but the quibbling behind the scenes is whether or not they change the one rule about the microphones. Now, the former president said this week that he doesn't care either way, but behind the scenes, that is not what is happening between the trump campaign officials and the harris campaign officials and the vice president has been needling trump on this, even taking to twitter or now x earlier today he's saying that let's debate in a transparent way with the microphones on the whole time. This has not been resolved yet. There were still ongoing discussions that's when i'm being told. But certainly it's clear that each campaign here is trying to strategize to put their candidate in the best position. And the harris campaign sees it as a winning position. So for them, if they were to have the microphone, the harris campaign essentially saying we agreed to the september 10 debate, but we are a new campaign. So we want to discuss the rules. We are going to see kamala harris on the campaign trail on monday in pennsylvania with president joe biden. We're also going to see governor tim walz on the campaign trail. Yeah. Campaign officials tell me to watch them because he is interesting you know, what they're watching essentially how he boost the ticket. Pennsylvania is a really important state and they are wanting to see how he plays, how he resonates with voters is going to be his first time in the state alone. He's going to have multiple political events over the course of the week and it's not only pennsylvania when i was in georgia, a strategist, we're saying, well, let's see how tim walz is with the voters in south georgia with his rural upbringing, with his backgrounds and football, and the military. So clearly, they're trying to see how they can strategize how he what he brings to the ticket and how that can boost them going into these states but of course, president joe biden and being there with the vice president on monday is also a clear indicator that he is supporting her and that he is going to do what he can especially in that state to make sure she has the votes come november, but there's a lot of attention being paid to pennsylvania and tim waltz going there this week is going to be one to watch to see how it is that voters take to him. Yeah. Very interesting dynamics in this absolutely critical state, not just for the democrats vote with republicans as well. Priscilla alvarez, thanks very much breaking news from mississippi, from earlier today, seven people were killed and dozens injured in a bus crash.
