is just how reliable these reports are about al baghdadi his death well miranda the news of baghdad he's killing should be tape handled with a bit of care really over the last few years there have been several claims that but he had been killed in 2017 for example russian forces said that he had likely been killed in a russian as strike in syria and as we just saw in that report he is very elusive i mean he's a fugitive he doesn't make many public appearances so over the last few years there's been a lot of uncertainty and speculation over whether he's actually still alive now there's obviously been no official confirmation from the white house as yet but high ranking pentagon sources talking to newsweek magazine and gave some details about the operation he said that after a short gun fire a gun exchange fire exchange in dieties compound in it live province and

the detonated a suicide vest and killed himself the pentagon souls also said that this still waiting for d.n.a. and biometric tests to confirm his identity so the white house has announced that the president will give a major statement in a few hours time everyone is expecting that statement to be about baghdadi of course and if indeed it is then it will be interesting to see what sort of evidence there will be coming out with then well as you've mentioned baghdadi has been on the run for several years he's been on the united states most wanted list also for a very long time so what is the timing of all of this tell us why do you think this operation took place now well if the killing was confirmed that would obviously be a very big coup for the u.s. and it would come very good time for the u.s. president i mean he's come under a lot of fire for his decision to pull troops u.s. troops out of northern syria. and in no way that has given the green light for the

turkish offensive against the kurds there and many experts warned that friends of the fighting the ensuing chaos may well help to strengthen i assume that every other if the reports of bias fighters escaping from prison camps that and potentially regrouping so a setback in the fight against the us in many ways then of course at home trump is facing impeachment inquiry and there's been bad news about the budget so this would be very welcome for the white house. or as we thank you very much for your insights . let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world hong kong police used tear gas to break up an authorized demonstration in a waterfront tourist district organizers had called the protest to express their concern about police conduct during the month long pro-democracy demonstrations that's included the use of pepper spray rubber bullets and police dogs. married men
