let's get the latest now from imran kahn and baghdad. what more with you tell us about this imran?rter: well, i can tell you that the statement they issued was very strong, it condemned the government. it said the only way peace would come to ban bar province if the tribes joined isil. there is a large tribe there and they are the fore front of the statement. they command a number of fighters and a large amount of influence over the a lot of the other tribes there. what is unclear is whether they were forced by ice toil pledge allegiance or whether they did it willingly. fallujah has been under the occupation of isil for over a year now. it's one of their strong holds and it is a place where they do command a large amount of influence. now, if this a willing move, then that's very worrying for the iraqi government. because like i say this could be a false multiplier for isil, giving them a number of fighters at their disposal who know the terrain very well, know anbar province very well and also will be able to influence other tribes. this whole thing is coming as quite a shock to

imran kahn joining us live from baghdad to tell us what expect to happen in paris imran and what thees -- what their message is going to be to their allies in paris. >> reporter: well, what we are being told is that the paris meeting will focus real on two things firstly the effectiveness of the ache strikes. the air strikes say the iraqis are great for sealing off roads and for cutting isil supply lines, they are less useful when it comes to actually close support and giving the iraqi army and security forces the cover they need to go in to clear areas of isil. also what will likely be unfolding at the paris meeting is a plan to take rah mad i prime minister abad-y is keen to showcase his plan to take back ramadi. before this paris meeting took place, we heard from forward straight talking to the people of iraq. let's take a listen to what he had to say. >> translator: the flow of terrorists coming to iraq never stopped. and the number never went down, even for a fraction. this is a very dangerous phenomenon because it clearly shows that all the efforts by the international communit
