u.s. army artillery firing into mosul. okay. before we get to that just how do they use the air power do you, do you like force those isis fighters out of wherever they re hiding and then the air power comes in to play? how is that used? well, it s up to the commander on the ground. but normally, you employ it before you get to where you want to go. soften up the area, try and take out key targets that you know about, and then as targets present themselves you alter the air strikes to where you want them. it s a pretty dynamic process. and it can be very effective. and that s what makes it effective is its flexibility. if you see a target develop you can immediately put air power on it. there are aircraft virtually orbiting standing by. so it s a pretty fast moving process. but it requires somebody on the ground to control that. and we have that now with the iraqi forces, forward and the peshmerga. okay. and just a final question because we have this election going on, and th ....

[ gunfire ] and nick joins us now live near mosul. you okay? first of all. what exactly happened that made you duck down? reporter: well, that stage we had just joined the peshmerga on the main road to mosul where that gunfight took place. now, they cleaned out the road, but obviously not the hills and village and houses around it. isis fighters kept popping out it seemed, of tunnels or hiding places. at that instant we appeared to be taking fire from both sides. one bullet rushed over my head and peshmerga not knowing where that shot had come from. earlier we watched peshmerga chase down one isis fighter and another popped up from a tunnel, opened fire on them and when they shot back, he blew himself up right in front of us. that s the tenacity of the fighters they re facing here as ....

reporter: behind me now has just gone in what must surely be a substantial explosion. we haven t been hearing aircraft, so that may be one of a number of car bombs that isis has been employing in their bid to keep the peshmerga off this road. it is a volatile situation, and it is also one in which peshmerga at this stage appear to be prevailing. they ve taken this five or six kilometer stretch of the roads here. but the villages around it do still remain volatile. and that is a question, what kind of resistance will they continue to face. the military, too, at some point will have to push down here towards mosul. but this has been an effort with much international support. a lot of coalition planning. american air power [ gunshots ] ....

This fight continues, wolf. and what about now? what s the latest? what are you hearing from all of your sources? reporter: well, at this stage, this is always the beginning of the operation. the peshmerga moving down a key highway on the east of mosul city, securing about five or six kilometers of it. that has been patchy in success today. a lot of ground taken, but as you saw there, it s not entirely secure and safe. we saw one village, they held back quite some time. keel keep that fight up a while. the iraqi army is supposed to pile up down the road and move on to the next village. the idea is to keep the pressure up, but this is just the plains outside of mosul. the flat expanse of deserts and villages, which many perhaps hoped isis might give up with less of a hope saving gun powder as it were for the sprol of 1.2 people thought to be potentially trapped and brace themselves for ....

Near mosul. we know the humanitarian effects of this have to be considered as well as the strategic benefits. what is the situation right now? well, chris, in the plains behind me, this is one of the first areas that the kurdish peshmerga pushed in the last 14 hours or so, ever since iraq s prime minister announced the beginning of this crucial battle. since then, we have been seeing air strikes. we have been seeing massive explosions, presumably car bombs or suicide car bombs. sporadic gun battles and all of this, chris, you can see is happening in open land, which means the coalition air strikes can be called in fairly easily. one needs to take into consideration that the same intensity of battle and moreso is going to be what we expect to transpire within the city of ....
