The United Nations human rights chief called the attack inexcusable and possibly criminal. Mark phillips is tracking the story from london. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, the damage done to the hospital is catastrophic. And the damage done to the reputation of the u. S. Air campaign and support of the government in kabul is in pr terms, catastrophic as well. The question is no longer whether the msf hospital in kunduz was hit by u. S. Air strikes, the u. S. Admitted. But the question is how and why. Doctors without borders who runs the hospital say the government in kabul and the United States knew where it was and that the air raid continued even after they raised the alarm that the facility was being hit.

Special forces, has raised the issue of what checks are in force to regulate those strikes and what the rules of engagement are that control where that fire is directed. In the meantime, the u. S. Is offering condolences for those who were injured and killed. Norah . Thank you. Reports from syria this morning say isis destroyed another ancient ruin.

Holly williams is in istanbul, turkey, where panic has been caused. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning. The government here in turkey says a russian war plane operating out of syria violated turkish air space prompting it to scramble f16 fighter jets. That news comes as russia continued its air strikes in syria. The Russian Defense ministry released this cockpit video, which it claimed shows its fighter jet hitting isis posiions in syria, including a command center, a Training Camp and an ammunition depot. But many of the locations that russia said it hit are in areas where there is no isis presence. The u. S. And its Coalition Partners say what russia is really doing in syria is propping up the Syrian Regime by launching strikes on those who oppose the government. The syrian president Bashar Al Assad makes no distinction between the moderate opposition and isis, describing all of them as terrorists. In his first interview since moscow began launching air strikes, the syrian dictator said the Russian Campaign has to succeed or else the entire region faces destruction. But the u. S. Says that peace in syria can only be achieved if assad leaves office. The fouryearlong Syrian Civil War has now claimed more than a quarter of a million lives. Many of them killed by their regimes indiscriminate bombing. President assad also claimed in the interview that u. S. Air strikes have been counter productivity and helped to spread terrorism.
