let's bring in senior correspondent ben wedeman in rome.countries and leaders don't get to vote in our election. what are they saying right now? >> reporter: i think with the world leaders and global audience will be a bit taken aback by the things they heard from both candidates. certainly mr. trump's assertion that the united states should have kept iraq's oil is probably going to be the source of some concern among many people because this really harkens back to the golden age of european imperialism. the fact of the matter is if the united states had kept a certain group behind us, mr. trump said, to keep the oil, to exploit the oil, that would have caused a backlash that would have been far more broad and violent than what were seeing from isis which at the end of the day is several how disaffected extremists. you would have the entire region up in arms. it is important to keep in mind iraq's oil is in the south which is shi'a and the north is kurdish. if you put those two areas together, there are fewer isis sympathizers in them. mrs.

ben wedeman has been reporting in this region and on this war. and samantha power not mincing words there. and the russians showing their anger at the united states. but the good news is that it seems like both countries are supporting the cessation of hostilities. what are you learning there? >> they do support it but the cessation of hostilities is looking very frail at the moment. i was in touch with fred pleitgen, our correspondent in aleppo. he said overnight he heard a lot of explosions. the fighting still seems to be going on despite the rhetorical support from both the united states and russia. according to the ceasefire agreement that was worked out, what was supposed to happen is that once the fighting stopped, humanitarian aid was to go into parts of aleppo. if they worked well, the united states and russia were to set up a joint implementation center which is intended to coordinate air strikes by the russians and u.s. led coalitions against isis and al qaeda in syria. this is all up in the area at the moment and that is not for lack o

our senior international correspondent ben wedeman join us live from baghdad. what additional, what will these additional u.s. troops were doing and how soon could they be deployed? >> reporter: well, they could be deployed farrelly soon, wolf, and we understand from the prime minister's office here that they will be strictly involved with training and advising iraqi troops in the area around mosul. the point is to reinforce the american presence as iraq prepares for that offensive, but when it's going to happen, most people are working on the assumption it will be sometime in october, but a precise date is still not clear. at the moment, the iraqi forces are busy trying to clear some of the villages and towns around mosul, and the other day we went and met a woman who's been taking part in some of those battles. >> [ speaking in foreign language ]. >> reporter: this woman counts the times her house has been blown up. 2006, 2009, 2010. three cars in 2013, and 2014, she says. describing herself as a housewife, she is better known otherwise took up arms and leads

our cnn's ben wedeman is following the story live in rome. >> reporter: good morning, george. this certainly has, this week, seen an unprecedented number of refugees and migrants picked up off the libyan coast. this is the season where the numbers peak. if you look at the pictures provided by the italian coast guard. you can see the seas are very calm. the human traffickers who are running this business, so to speak, they don't actually equipped the boats to go anymore than a few miles off the libyan coast where they will send out distress signals to the italian navy or other european navys operating in the area or ngo ships. they will pick them up and bring them to italy. we have seen some dramatic pictures of rescues involves young children picked up. one report of a child born on one of these boats. if you can actually imagine that. of course, there is the case of the two twins who were just 5 days old. born premature when their mother was in libya and, of course, they were picked up by the italian navy. at the time, they were dehydrated an

ben wedeman has been following that angle of the story and is live in istanbul for us. n what are you hearing there? >> reporter: we understand this attack, this strike took place at about 5:00 p.m. local time yesterday by u.s., australian, and perhaps other coalition aircraft against what they thought was an isis unit in the area outside of deir al zour in syria. there are scattered syrian outposts but by and large the area is controlled by isis. the strike went on for 24 minutes until the russians informed the u.s. forces in qatar they are striking syrian regime forces. the americans say they called off the strike as soon as possible. but the russians are reporting that 62 syrian regime soldiers were killed according to the syrian observatory for human rights, perhaps more than 80 were killed. and yes, as we see, this is causing a huge builow up in the u.n. security council where the united states has expressed its regret for intentional loss of life, but the russians are calling, blaming americans for a failure to coordinate, suggesting that the united states is suppo
