cnn's ian lee is tracking the latest from cairo. good morning. another judge at odds with the president of the united states. adamant he wants to ban immigration. legal visas and immigration for a time from these countries. >> reporter: good morning, christine. it has been a mixed bag when you look at reactions from the region. many countries affected by it have come out against this ban with iran going as far as a quid pro quo by banning americans with some exceptions. when you look at the rest of the region, for the most part, countries have been quiet over the ban, probably not wanting to invoke the ire of the white house. iraq has been taken off this ban and this comes after lobbying from baghdad to get them resolvremove removed. it created a potentially dangerous situation for troops fighting alongside iraqi forces against isis in iraq. we did hear from deputy crown minutes muhammad on tuesday. he called the president a true friend of the muslims. when you look at individuals yesterday here in cairo which is home to many refugees from syria

cnn's ian lee joins us from cairo, egypt. the number of people accidentally killed is quite high and devastating. >> reporter: that's right, natalie. it is quite staggering from what are the reports that we are hearing about the number of people who are quild in this air strike, allegedly killed in in air strike on march 17th. a u.s. central command overseeing operations by coalition forces say they are going to been veinvestigating this. they have opened up a formal assessment to get down to how and what happened. we are hearing reports that it took a while for rescue workers to get to the site of this explosion because it was just so dangerous. also, reports that there are still people trapped and that the scene is sheer devastation, where there are body parts everywhere. the u.s. trying to figure out what really happened, because it is being heard that isis is bringing people to these front line areas to use them as human shields to deter air strikes because of the risk of civilian casualty. we went out in the middle of th

cnn's ian lee is following all of this for us and joins us from cairo, egypt. it is good to see you, ian. it is iraqi forces that are on the ground, ian, fighting and they are being supported by u.s. war planes and they are presumably carrying out air strikes to help protect the iraqi forces on the ground but now it appears that something went terribly, terribly wrong. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: that's right, ivan. there is close coordination between iraqi forces on the ground and the coalition forces in the air helping them target different buildings, iraqi forces calling in these air strikes. we're getting some new information from the joint operation command, the iraqi command, painting a bit of a different picture to what happened on that day where an explosion or multiple explosions property edly kill reportedly killed hundreds of civilians. they are saying that isis had vehicle-born explosive devices, usually truck bombs. they were by isis in the neighborhood on that day. they are saying from what they are hearing from civilians is that isis d

we're joined by cnn international correspondent ian lee. what's all the focus on yemen? al qaeda in the arabian pen insue law, aqap, as they're know, is the most capable branch of terrorist organization. one of their specialties is creating bombs without metallic components so they're invisible to metal detectors and they try to get these on airplanes. that's what makes this branch of al qaeda so dangerous. so, you do have these more than 30 air strikes take place. they're targeting militants, targeting their equipment, weapons as well as safe houses to try, as one pentagon official says, keep the pressure on the organization. these air strikes took place in the southern central part of the country. this is an area where al qaeda has been able to flourish, taking advantage of the security vacuum that has been created during the war. right now it's uncertain exactly what affect these air strikes will have on al qaeda. to give you a bit of comparison in 2016, according to monitoring groups, the united states carried out 38 such strikes. well, we're only a few months into 2

now let's go to ian lee in cairo and monitoring what has been happening there in yemen. s it the same that we heard from barbara starr? >> reporter: the thing about the strikes is they were targeting a number of things, natalie. they were going after weapons, they were going after militants, sa safehouses, the infrastructure of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. there were more than 30 air strikes. and when you compare that to 2016, there was roughly 30 air strikes in the whole entire year. so this is a sharp increase that we're seeing taking place here. and they're targeting these militants in the southern central part of the country in several provinces where al qaeda has been known to congregate and take advantage of the lawlessness and vacuum that has been created by the war in yemen. >> and this war has been going on and on there and there has been criticism from people inside saying where is the world. what is the view there on how the u.s. is stepping up this air campaign and how it might overall affect the war? >> reporter: interesting thing about this, when you l
