In afghanistan investigators are still not vur why a hospital in the city of kunduz was bombed. Doctors without borders blames the u. S. Led military for the air strikes. 22 people were killed. The chief calls it unexcusable and possibly even criminal. Mark phillips is tracking this story from london. Reporter good morning. The damage done to the hospital was catastrophic. The damage done to the reputation of the u. S. Air campaign in 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 air strikes and almost certainly u. S. Air strikes. The question is how and why. Doctors without borders which has run the hospital says both 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. The Afghan Government line, taliban fighters were inside and shooting from the hospital. Msfs uk director Vickie Hawkins says is a line. The comments coming from the Afghan Government are outrageous and they are just as defying the destruction of a fully functioning hospital. Reporter u. S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has promised an investigation. That we be full, transparent about our investigation and, also, that we hold accountable if there is someone to be accountable, anybody responsible for doing something they shouldnt have done. Reporter but that is not good enough for msf. We would like an independent investigation, and only then will we be in a position to make decisions about the future. Reporter the most credible current theory is that u. S. Special forces advising Afghan Forces who were then retaking kunduz from the taliban called in the air strike after taking fire from the area around the hospital. But this is an issue that goes beyond afghanistan. It comes at a time when the u. S. Has been accusing russia of imprecise targeting in syria and that makes this attack even more difficult to explain and to justify. Mark, thank you.

The government here in turkey says a russian war plane, operating our syria, violated turkish air space, prompting it to scramble f16 fighter jets. That news comes as russia continues its air strikes in syria. The Russian Defense ministry released this Cockpit Video which it claims shows its fighter jet hitting isis positions 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 position and isis, describing all of thems terrorists. In his first interest since moscow began launching air strikes he says the Campaign Take to succeed or the entire region faces destruction. But the u. S. Says peace in syria can only be achieved if assad leaves office. The fouryear long Syrian Civil War has now claimed more than 225,000 lives. Many of them killed by the regimes i ndiscriminate bombings. President assad claimed in that interview that u. S.
