Dispatched to cover the crisis in Iraq, ABC News' Chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz - who is on her 23rd trip to Iraq - with the help of ABC News producers Cindy Smith and Bartley Price, chronicled a day working and reporting in Baghdad on June 19, 2014.

10 a.m. Martha meets with the ABC News team to plan out the day's events. Working in Iraq presents many logistical and security issues in addition to reporting the day's news, so there is a great deal of planning involved.
