and europe, i am joined by cameron abadi, a senior editor of "foreign policy" magazine. what are the implications for u.s. companies that use the u.k. as a base, and an entry point to business in europe? >> well, you know, a lot of companies use britain precisely that way. so you cited how important an economic partner that is. but it's hard to disentangle how much of that partnership is about britain and how much of that is about europe. and i think it's safe to say a lot of that is about using britain to get access to the much bigger market in europe. now that britain has decided it's not part of that market-- or at least temporarily won't be part of that market-- a lot of companies are going to have to calculate whether it makes sense to stay in britain. and a lot of companies have said that in the run-up to the vote and we'll see in the weeks ahead whether they start to move their operations away from britain and move it elsewhere on the european continent. >> stewart: let's talk about trade, what the impact will be on trades, especially with president obama's transa

prime minister abadi backed by al sader. are trying to arrest control away.or prime minister abadi to declare victory is good for his political cache. >> we heard this from the president. if the administration claimed that fallujah is on its back foot in iraq, they are losing ground, they are squeezing them both in syria and in iraq. it's a matter of time before they are out. do you think that's an accurate assessment? >> it is a matter of time before they are out of iraq or syria as a traditional military force. we are already seeing the transition into a gorilla force where they sink back into the population just as they did when u.s. forces were inside of iraq. that's what the c.i.a. director predicted. he said they would turn into a terrorist group for funding. we see them building up 5,000 to 8,000 fighters. they would continue to train fighters who would try to attack in europe and beyond. >> does it matter if they don't have their punitive islamic state and they go back to being old school insurgency terror groups. does it matter? >> i think it matters

and the prime minister abadi came in, he expanded the military in iraq and syria.re try to get coalition powers to come in and use air power because we could do it legally under international law, against isil, because isil presented a threat to us. not so with the assad government, there was not an international basis to go after assad himself. as michael has alluded, those authorities have expanded over time, so we do have more special forces. yes, they have expanded, they can go more, but i am mindful of the fact the president, in my opinion, is trying to be very careful about having a slippery slope where nobody is advocating except a very few, getting 00,000 people in there. so let's do more. the american people want to see -- charlie: six months. what can you do in six months? i ask that to vice president biden and david petraeus, can they have [indiscernible] -- the shiite melissa militia, taking fallujah, can i take muscle -- can they take mosul? will they be able to in the next six months take raqqa back? or is that even a reasonable question? james: i thi

and in fact when prime minister abadi came in, he dramically expanded the authorities the u.s. military had in iraq and into syria. remember we were trying to get coalition partners to come with us into syria to use their power because we could do it legally under international law against ice dis-- isil. because they presented a threat us to and to our partner who asked for our assistance, iraq. not so with the assad government, there wasn't a basis in international law to go after assad himself or his forces, for that matter. and as michael has eluded, those authorities have expanded over time. so we do have more special forces on the ground. and we do have some controllers and that sorlt of thing. so they have expanded. they could probably go a little bit more. but i'm also mindful of the fact that the president in my opinion is trying to be very careful about having a slippery slope. where nobody is advocating except a few getting 100,000 people in there. but it is not a lot of steps between this didn't work so let's do i a little more. and that didn't work because the amer

and we continue to emphasize to prime minister abadi this is not going to last unless he can properly bind in the tribes of anbar and unless he can provide the degree of reassurance to the sunni population that they're not going to be exposed again to any of the kind of malevolence they had under the previous regime. >> i'm sorry. is there a role for other agencies whether it's ngos or even the private sector that can deliver that degree of stabilization that we're going to need once the military phase is over? >> yes. in some cases it will be provided by ngos. clearly the politics has to be solved by the iraqis themselves and the iraqi government. the local security has to be provided by local security forces that people can buy into, but some of the services can be provided are externally and so we're putting money in ourselves to that and working very closely the stabilization unit that we have here in the uk, working closely on that. the difficulty is the pace because the military campaign is being successful but arguably the politics is lagging behind and the stabilization more g

iraqi prime minister haider al-abadi says iraq's military has taken full control of the city of fallujah after it was captured by isis in 2014. iraqi forces backed by u.s. airstrikes launched the offensive to retake the city last month. the "new york times" and al jazeera report millions of dollars in weapons being shipped to jordan by the cia and saudi arabia for the intended use of syrian rebels have been systematically stolen by jordan intelligence operatives and sold on the black market. the stolen weapons were used in a shooting in november that killed two americans and three other people at a facility training facility in amman. in somalia, a cabinet minister is among 15 people killed in an attack on a hotel in the capital mogadishu. at least 34 people were injured in the attack. authorities said officers killed four attackers with the militant group al shabab. in west virginia, at least 25 people have been killed in one of the deadliest floods in the state's history. tens of thousands have been left without power, and homes and roads have been destroyed. president obama has declar

but it also depends upon, and i talked to abadi all the time, the prime minister. i'm his phone pal. and he is solid. he wants, and by the way, he believes in a more fed rated system. remember, he tried to set up national guards, a national guard in anbar, a national guard, et cetera. he understands that there needs to be-- . >> rose: he also understands that he needs a sunni tribesman. >> bingo. >> rose: in order to retake mosul. >> that's my point. so he is reaching out. the biggest problem he has been getting, he wants us to equip the sunni tribes to help. coming from the shia militia, they don't want any part. >> rose: so what would it take in terms of your military judgement to retake mosul before this administration. >> it would traik two things. one, we have to get the world, our allies to go in and back fill when, in fact, the-- we-- fallujah is a victory, so that we don't leave chaos behind, and nongovernance and a great exodus. like we did in tikrit. folks came back. >> rose: how manytown of saddam hussein. >> that's right. but they were able to come back

prime minister haider al-abadi visited the front line, and said the military is trying to safeguard fallujah'sple. >> ( translated ): the enemy has been denied most of the chances to flee, but many civilians are still there. the main target of the operation now is to reduce the number of victims among civilians and also to decrease losses among our armed forces. we may raise the iraqi flag inside fallujah in the coming few days. >> sreenivasan: despite that prediction, it's widely expected that the fight for fallujah could go on for some time. in somalia, islamist al-shabab militants stormed a hotel in mogadishu, killing at least six people and taking a number of hostages. the dead included two members of parliament. the attack began when a suicide bomber blew up his vehicle in front of the hotel's entrance, leaving burning wreckage. several gunmen then stormed in. it's the latest in a series of such attacks. back in this country, federal officials announced they won't charge two minneapolis policemen with civil rights violations, for killing a black man last november. 24-year-old jamar clark

this is a victory prime minister ab abadi really needed.al tensions in iraq. it is essentially a civil war led on one side led by al abadi and the other ali sistani, and the other pro-guard militias which are becoming like hezbollah in lebanon declaring a political bloc for themselves to try to take over the country. he needed a victory like this. as you noted, the iraqis are always quick out of the gate to declare 00% victory when they're still very much involved in mopping. you operations. if ramadi is any indication, isis probably left ieds and booby-traps in their wake which can do untold damage to civilians coming back. >> we all know there are pockets in that city where isis is still hold up. >>> i want to get to some other news this morning. we just learned that belgium is on alert after government officials were threatened there and that a dozen people have been arrested in anti-terror raids there. what have you heard about that? >> yeah. to be honest, this is sort of an ambiguous threat. it reminds me of the kind of things european

as you pointed out, hider al abadi supporting the retaking but pockets do remain?raqi security forces have been facing booby trapped roads, building, and clashes, at the same time, not necessarily the level of resistance that they were expecting from isis fighters, as they did push further into the center of fallujah, a very strategic and symbolic city. strategic because of where it's located and symbolic because it was the first city to fall to isis. in pockets of resistance as they've been called we've seen them take a few days if not longer to clear out. and iraq's military came out in a statement and said they managed to clear 60% of the city at this stage. this has been a multi-pronged approach to fallujah, one that embarrassed as you mentioned there some very, very heavy support by the coalition, by the u.s., as well as backup by these shia militias. but it has, the governor of al anbar pointed not a tweet resulted in what he was calling a potential humanitarian catastrophe. remember, this is a city that has been effectively under siege for months now. surrou
