Conditional probability, a question concerning Kipnis and Cocozza paper from 1977

In the paper Existence de processus Markoviens pour des systèmes infinis de particules by Cocozza, C. and Kipnis, C. (Ann. lnst. H. Poincaré, Sect. B, 13, 239-257, 1977), one reads

A transition probability from $H_1$ to $H_2$ is a function $P: H_1 \times A_2 \to [0,1] $ such that

  1. The map $h_1 \mapsto P(h_1,C)$ is $A_1$ measurable for every $C \in A_2$

  2. the map $C \mapsto P(h_1,C)$ is a probability measure for every $h_1 \in H_1$

Consider the function $X_{h_1}:h_2 \mapsto X(h_1, h_2)$. It is assumed that $$\Bbb{E} [X_{h_1} \mid B_2] = Y_{h_1} $$ $\mu$ - almost surely, where $\mu$ is a probability measure on $H_1$

It seems that if we define $\Bbb{P}(dh_1,dh_2) = \mu(h_1) P(h_1, dh_2)$ we obtain

$$ \Bbb{E}_{\Bbb{P}}[X] = \int_{H_1} \int_{H_2}X_{h_1}(h_2)P(h_1,dh_2) d\mu(h_1)= \int_{H_1} \int_{H_2}Y_{h_1}(h_2)P(h_1,dh_2) d\mu(h_1)= \Bbb{E}_{\Bbb{P}}[Y] $$

But how do we obtain

$$\Bbb{E}_{\Bbb{P}}[X] = Y ?$$

Edit: Perhaps the question is a notation question: what is the meaning of $$\Bbb{E}^{B_2\otimes A_1}_{\Bbb{P}}[X]?$$

Translation: Let $(H_1,A_1)$ and $(H_2,A_2)$ be two measurable spaces and let $B_2$ be a subsigma-algebra of $A_2$. Let $P(h_1,dh2)$ be a transition probability from $H_1$ to $H_2$, and let $\mu$ be a probability on $H_1$. If for $\mu$ - almost every $h_1$ the conditional expectation of a random variable $X(h_1,\cdot)$ with respect to the subsigma algebra $B_2$ and the probability $P(h_1,\cdot)$ is $Y(h_1,\cdot)$ then $$\Bbb{E}^{B_2\otimes A_1}_{\Bbb{P}}[X]$$

where $\Bbb{P}(dh_1,dh_2) = \mu(dh_1) P(h_1, dh_2)$
