7:15 am
he told us 80 of his men died here in a four-day battle. in the village they launched their attack through this amusement park long desserted by locals. after isis was defeated here its fighters fled over those hills. before they left they blew up this bridge and left the village littered with road side bombs. the national army did not take on isis alone. it relied on these men hundreds of volunteers with the shiite muslim militia. we want peace for our children and families said their commander who ran a grocery store until he signed up six months
7:16 am
ago. the brigades have the best record. during the civil war the death squads were implicated in torture and murder of thousands of sunni muslims. last week they were accused of killing more than 70 unarmed sunni men. iraq's shiite dominated government has given them unprecedented power. the general told us he and his men are under command of the leader of the brigades. he was given the job by the prime minister the general said everybody knows it. they also have a very close relationship with iran and irans special forces are fighting here in iraq against isis. that means in iraq the u.s. is on the same side of an unchecked militia and iran which shows you

how complicated the fight against isis has become. >> incredible piece and great reporting. thank you, holly. gas prices are creeping up this morning. aaa says the average price jumped to $2.07 overnight and the eighth straight day of increases. the spike after prices fell for a record 123 days. are the days of $2 gas over? anthony mason is with us. gas prices going to go up? >> i think it is inevitable that they are going up. we have had seven months of free fall and it felt nice at the pump. it looks like oil is trying to find a bottom here. it got as low as $43 a barrel went above $50 yesterday. there has been a paradigm shift here. we are going to have cheaper gas. not as cheap as it has been the last couple of weeks. the estimate by the energy
7:18 am
department is $2.33 for the year. still more than a dollar a gallon lower than last year. >> does it represent a change in decision by oil producers? >> i don't think so yet. the lower prices means the energy companies are cutting back. the energy department estimates u.s. production will go up again this year even with that. but you are seeing cutbacks in investment. cutbacks in production and you are going to see layoffs. >> what is behind the increase? >> what you are seeing is shift overs in refineries. there is a big strike going on although the refineryies are saying that is not effecting their production yet. there was so much momentum down it had to stop at a certain point. what the market has been trying to do for the last couple of months is figure out what the new price of oil is. u.s. production soared changing

8:24 am
changed. >> reporter: because of the letter body policing and fat shaming soon became the school's hottest topics of conversation. one she plans to continue. >> sending out a message like this isn't necessarily about health, it is about weight. health and weight are not the same thing. >> reporter: while administrators take a closer look at how to address matters of student health. >> we need to figure out how to do it face-to-face and how to wait until student initiates the conversation. >> reporter: the director of the school's health center has issued an apology to those who received the original message. sarma and her supporters say the impact is far more reaching and are asking inadministration to apologize to the entire student body. >> what was in the message that they sent to the students that were fat shaming? >> first they got an e-mail asking them to log into their health profile and then that profile invited them to
