understand what the people are dealing with there. >> as the fight transpired in mosul, you have seen eastern mosuleasier fight than what was happening in western mosul. i considered the western part of mosul to have the propensity for the most difficult and most challenging fight for security air forces. it's an area that can be defended by isis with very few forces, and there's a lot of people there so they will use the iraqi civilians, they will be used as human shields. the iraqi security forces already reported that the fighting in mosul is some of the toughest fighting they have had in the recent years to date, and to say look at all these civilian bodies showing up, it does turn the local population against the coalition force. but this is unfortunately the kind of action that you have to have in an urban environment, where there is precision air strikes and tough going by the infantry men on the ground. >> always appreciate kwroerb perfe your perspective. >>> in with tax reform and a budget fight ahead, how does speaker ryan unite the factions within the gop and claim the first win of this

allow the iraqi government to show that they have accomplished something by driving isis out of eastern mosul and trying to create the impression that life is going back to normal. >> that's how they -- that's their approach was horrific if that is, indeed, what happened here. we saw people leaving there in the rain. everyone saw there was likely to be a crisis. the number of people leaving is staggering and perhaps could get worse. what are the predictions? >> the united nations was predicted as many as 250,000 people would flee the fighting from western mosul. the estimates vary by a maximum of 800,000. we have seen the iraqi government and various international human care yan groups are busy setting up refugee camps and whatnot. the problem is, when these people first arrived, we were at one of the assembly points where people go. it is pandemonium. the iraqis are very worried that isis has put infiltrators among the refugees. many are arriving without shoes and traumatized and injured. as they flee, they are being fired upon by isis with mortars and stripers. it is a struggle to take care

it looks like the united states presence there did a lot to help with eastern mosul. e now focused on western mosul. isis is remarkably adaptive. what they're doing on the ground now is largely responsible for these huge civilian casualty numbers i saw you were talking about earlier. we're seeing so many civilian casualties because they're making sure it happens. they're constantly figuring out new ways to make sure that the most vulnerable members of society are targeted and killed. that's kind of their calling card around the world. >> sandra: let's talk about the changes we are seeing under president trump. he's added this well respected russia scholar, fiona hill. she's joining the white house national security council as senior director for europe and russia. senior fellow of the brookings institute, former member of the national intelligence council. she was first recruited for the nfc job under michael flynn and frequent critic of president putin of russia. jillian, what do you make of this addition? >> i feel really good about it. the first sort of tip of the h

the battle for eastern mosul lasted 100 days and it cost the iraqi army at least 500 dead. they want to limit the casualties this side of the river in western mosul and to that end, they're using far more ordnance, artillery, and air strikes like the one you've just heard. i.s. can also strike from the air. that was a grenade dropped close to us by one of their drones. this cropaganda video appears to confirm the commitment of their fighters here in mosul. it also shows they are far from running short on ammunition. no quarter is being given or asked for. are they good fighters? >> actually they fight, they fight, they fight, they fight. but we have also good fighters >> reporter: mosul museum today was rubble. this where i.s. sledgehammered history. and while much of what they bludgeoned was replica stuff, some priceless artifacts were destroyed here. now the museum is on the frontline of more history being made. and the records will show that the battle of mosul was one of the most brutal urban fights the world has ever seen. much of the place is uninhabitable and as the a

visibility and that worked in isis' favor but the advance has been faster than the offensive to retake eastern mosulthat's a good thing but the fight continues as we speak. you see the latest footage from western mosul. there's an estimated 2,000 isis fighters held up in the city surrounded but not only are iraqi troops dealing with a densely populated area of urban combat but an estimated 7,000 civilians remaining in mosul and the old city of mosul. some streets are very narrow so it's difficult getting armored vehicles into get -- some of the areas but iraqi commanders say the end of the battle is within range and there's no definitive time frame but the battle is progress. >> shannon: david huddy with the story. >> bill: general jack keane good morning to you and on mosul i guess eventually you win this fight i think you would agree with that but what comes after that you believe is just as important. explain, sir. >> it really is. this is dense urban fighting to be sure as john mentioned in the intro. it will probably take a few more weeks to retake this and the rest of the city but the politica

a lot more vast and widespread than what we've seen in eastern mosul and that's for had a number of reasons packed. there are narrow alleyways that make it very difficult for vehicles to go down, if not completely impossible, and this is where isis had really entrenched itself. we saw one large crater quite possibly caused by an air strike. spoke to a handful of civilians. one woman has said she was waiting to see if her husband came back home. he was left and was taken by isis the day before this particular area was liberated. people, of course, talking about the intensity of the battle. now, when it comes to the incidences in question that are being investigated, a number of them, but the top u.s. military commander in iraq did say that there was a fair chance that a u.s. air strike did cost civilian casualties. we do also know that isis does hold, has held and continues to hold the civilian population as human shields and also at this stage the u.n. high commissioner for human rights has said that in between the dates of 17 to 22nd march, more than 300 civilians they believe have been ki

strategic victory as it connects eastern mosul to the old city.s are essentially trying to surround the old city and basically push in and squeeze in the remaining isis militants. but, bad weather has hampered efforts or at least it held up some efforts today. rain, wind, low clouds for those advancing troops along with mosul's complicated terrain. we are talking about very narrow streets that provide cover and hideouts for isis fighters and also poses logistical issues for those advancing forces because of the urban, you know, street-to-street, urban combat and also getting armored vehicles and those troops into some of those very tight, congested areas. isis fighters have also been attacking those iraqi troops with any and all means possible. snipers, ieds, car bombs, suicide attacks. so it's been grueling. it's been a difficult fight. and sir series concerns remain with more than 100,000 people displaced. having said all that, iraqi commanders say they are holding their positions. they are holding their ground. they have are gaining more ground
