6:08 pm
700 u.s. air strikes and four months of street fighting against local kurdish forces to push isis out. and elsewhere in syria where there have been far fewer air strikes isis actually gained gained territory during the air campaign, so isis may be weaker, especially here in iraq, but it certainly looks a long way from defeat. >> holly williams, in erbil holly, thank you very much. a journalist impraised in egypt for over a year is finally going home tonight. peter of al jazeera english had been sentenced to seven years in prison for his reporting on the muslim brotherhood. he is instead been deported to a, where his egyptian colleagues remain behind bars. president obama unveils $4 trillion budget tomorrow, here is julianna goldman. >> reporter: as part of his 2016 spending plan, president obama will ask for billions of dollars. to repair the nation's crumbling roads and bridges, a request the white house is banking on both
