condemn nation. the world boyd's human rights chief said it could amount to a war crime. the u.s. military said forces were conducting air striker strikes at the time and launched a full investigation. nick begins our coverage. >> reporter: the attack began at 2:00 in the morning. inside, more than 100 patients as well as 80 doctors without borders' staff. they described a terrifying sustained attack that continued for an hour and a half. the main operating theatre, the emergency room, and other parts of the medical complex were all hit. doctors without borders says several of their staff were killed and dozens injured. it said gps coordinates had been given to american and afghan officials as recently as a few days ago. in a statement they said, we are deeply shocked by the attack, killing our staff and the heavy toll it has inflicted on healthcare in kunduz. we urge all parties to respect the safety of health facilities

and staff. officials from the afghan interior ministry said the hospital had been infiltrated by taliban fighters. >> 10 to 15 terrorists hiding when they came under attack. wheth all of them were killed. we also lost doctors p we will do everything to make sure this was not confirmed by other sources but the head of the u.s.-led forces in afghanistan issued an apology to the afghan government. earlier, nato issued its own statement: u.s. forces conducted an airstrike in kunduz city against individuals threatening force. the strike may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility. this incident is under investigation. in the past, collateral damage has referred to the accidental killing of civilians. there has been intense fighting in and around kunduz after taliban forces captured the city

earlier this week. afghan ground forces backed by nato air power have been trying to regain control in the last few days. al jazeera spoke to a father who was in the hospital with his two sons during the airstrike. they have been taken to bagland provincial hospital for treatment and told us about the terrifying moments the bombardment began. >> on the first day of fighting, my two sons were injured and my two other nephews were killed. i brought my injured sons to the hospital. they were getting better day by day, and last night, suddenly in the middle of the night, the hospital was being bombed. i grabbed my sons from the bed and we hid under a table. bombing was heavy. it continued until morning. the building was on fire and the roof collapsed. the hospital was totally destroyed. thank god we survived. vicki hawkins is the

executive director of doctors without borders in the u.k. she has dismissed allegations that there were any fighters hiding in hospital at the time. >> it is a large compound. the bombing was very precisely targeted, so it hit precisely the intensive care unit with a significant number of patients inside who were recovering from operations, et cetera. we are not aware that there were any fighters inside the hospital. regardless, once a fighter is injured, if they are a patient, they become a non-combat ant. so, it is still absolutely not okay to be targeting a hospital facility in this way. we closed the doors of the hospital and when it got dark, and all we know, there were patients, caretakers and our staff inside that hospital, and there was nothing unusual happening until the bombing actually started. >> well, the u.s. secretary of defense, ash carter, has issued the following statement: overnight, i learned of a tragic incidents involving a doctors

without borders' hospital in kunduz, afghanistan, that came under fire. u.s. forces in support of arrestgan security forces were operating nearby as were taliban fighters. while we are still trying to determine exactly what happened, i want to extend my thoughts and prayers to everyone affected. a full investigation into the tragic incident is underway in coordination with the afghan government. at this difficult moment, we will continue to work with our afghan partners to try to end the ongoing violence in and around kunduz. >> more now with john henridren live in washington, d.c. a great deal of anger about what has happened in kunduz. ash carter described it as a tragedy. tell us more about the u.s. reaction to this. >> there have been a defendant number of reactions. you heard defense secretary ash carter's statement just there. none of these are actually

apologeticic, however. whatever general campbell, the xhavenlder on the ground, said to the after ganing president president says we are look into this and says we are aware of the incident but does not go so far as to apologize. the u.s. says it is going to appoint a one-star general to look into the incident. so far, they are not saying exactly what happened. they are saying they are not sure what happened, but as you saw in carter's statement, they do claim that there were taliban troops in the area and u.s. groups assisting afghan 2r507z in the area. we know there was an ac-130 gun ship. >> that's a strafing gunsh ship capable of howitser bullets. >>, apparently, is what happened at the hospital. they are simply saying they might have been -- there might have been some incidents there but not exactly what happened. >> civilian casualties from airstrikes have caused severe

tensions between the u.s. and afgan governments for years, john. in many ways, that's not now, but what could this potentially mean for the u.s. role in afghanistan? >> it makes it much tougher for the u.s. to operate there. it puts president ghani in the position of his predecessor who was left to explain to the afgan people why u.s. air strikes were killing civilians. now, according to the u.n., the percentage of people, civilian casualties, killed by the u.s. is just one percent since 2009. >> doesn't really matter because the public perception is that these attacks from the sky are killing civilians and, of course, the taliban don't have planes so it's just the u.s. and the alleys that are doing this. and that creates a negative perception not only of those foreign troops in the country, but it fuels the insurgency. >> john hendren live for us in washington, d.c.

looks like. the leader of the zinist union said netanyahu has lost control of the security of israeli citizens and jerusalem. very clearly, all of the politicians directed attisitsi prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who will be arriving back from his vicinity to the united states where he addressed the united nations in the next 24 hours, he will be holding an immediate meeting, we are told, with his defense minister, the head of the intelligence agency and his army chief of staff. there will only be a full cabinet meeting, we are told, at the end of this jewish holiday at sunset on monday, mariane. >> mike hanna, thanks very much. now, two large bomb blasts have hit shia neighborhoods in the iraqi capital baghdad. at least 24 people have been

and traveled to the front line to visit the troops. >> these tear toez were under isil control. now, they are back in our hands. this is due to our well-organized plan. >> well organized, this plan might be but we know from experience isil know how to use urban areas. seven weeks ago, the prime minister announced they would be able to take ramadi in anbar province from isil very quickly. >> hasn't happened. isil, like i say, do know how to use urban areas and hawija will be a challenge for the peshmerga. >> they wait until they have sufficient territory on the outskirts to launch an attack on the town sometime in the next few weeks. imran khan, al jazeera, baghdad. >> the number of dead from a landslide in guatemala has risen to at least 56. heavy rains swept boulders and mud on to houses on thursday night. as many as 600 people are still missing in the opportunities to of santa katarinia.

there, 36 hours since the slide happened while we are there from the ground, here, occasionally, the whistles and the whistles of the signal that will somebody had heard like a scream or some kind of noise coming from underneath the rubble and dirt and mud and everybody would stop and be silent and look for signs of any survivors. but while we were there for three or four hours, there was no sign of any survivors and, in fact, body after body was pulled out and taken past us while we were there. so the emergency services really has their work cut out for them to try to find people who were trapped under tons and tons of mud and rock after 45 meters in places deep. it's covered these very humble homes. thank you very much, david mercer with the latest there from guatemala city as rescue efforts continue, authorities are trying to pull survivors

airstrikes targeting groups opposed to the syrian government and focus on defeating isil. the syrian opposition is calling these attacks a russian aggression and is now refusing to attend planned meetings at the u.n. to pave the way for political talks. >> there is no incentive to engage in a political solution. >> in july, u.n. and arab league announced the warring sides were not ready to hold formal talks. he suggested working group meetings to agree on a roadmap for peace. in a rare show of unity, the main political opposition and exile, the syrian national coalition and moderate and conservative armed groups say the initiative is unacceptable. it is demanding the international community makes it clear the head of the syrian government and its pillars are not given a role in the transition process or in the future of syria.

the transitional governing body means the full transfer of power and military institutions and security agencies cannot be part of the national army. >> the opposition tells us that they do not reject a political solution. they just believe it is a waste of time to engage in what they call brainstorming sessions. they say they are ready to attends the geneva 3 peace conference but on consider, the outedcom will lead to the government handing over power and not in, in their words, reproduce the regime. >> russia, a close ally of the syrian government, is in no mood to compromise. it won't accept bashar al assad's. the opposition is demanding international alleys show seriousness. >> we need to have to stands up

people were killed including 3 children. twousisis have been killed and two others injured in an attack in jerusalem's old city. the number of dead from a landslide in guatemala has now risen to at least 56. the top story on the airstrike in kunduz, kaiz is in bagland hospital. >> this morning, nato contesters, doctors without

border. many people died there but some survive. those survived people were september to bagalon provincial hospital here now, the two brothers, 7 and 12 years old, they were injured on the first day of fighting six days ago. they were in the hospital and the recovery when last night, a heavy bombardment started. they are telling us bombardment started 12:00 o'clock at night until 4:00 o'clock. they said it's not one or twice or two time bombing. it was constantly every five minutes and they are telling us many of the patients there and doctors were killed. some survived. those that survived, they send them here. >> joining us by skype from boston is max abrams. he is angassista-assistant proff political science at northeastern university. he is also a contributor to the

council on foreign relations. good to have you with us. so we are still learning about the precise circumstances of this bombardment in kunduz at this hospital. can you shed some light on how a medical facility can be targeted in this way, how something like this can happen? >> there is no question in my mind this is a tragic and you are undesirable and unintentional attack from the u.s. perspective. the entire purpose is to win over the allegiance of the local population. there is probably no better way to lose popular support than to attack not just civilian targets but a hospital, to kill children, this is the worst possible targeting outcome of the united states. so, i think that at this very, very

unfortunate but i am hearing some voices suggesting that the united states was aiming for this hospital. i think that's an absolutely absurd position to take because it goes completely against the strategic interests of our counter insurgency campaign there. >> right. but as you say, that may be the perception within the country that this will be very damaging to the u.s. and, of course, there has been international outrage over ma has happened as well, max. how, just drawing on your expertise when it comes to the code of conduct, if you like, how could they have not known that the hospital was in this location when it had been operating in the area for many years and when the charity says they had passed on the precise coordinates to the afgan and u.s. military before the attack took place? >> my understanding was that this was a very active conflict zone, that there were taliban members around the hospital.

the interior minister says the police force there said that actually, there were also taliban fighters in the hospital. the entire city of 300,000 people has been taken over by taliban fighters over the past week gang rapes on the road spaifblth, house to house, shooting people so this is a very violent, you know, kinetic environment and one could easily imagine how the u.s. would be eager to try to lend some support to the afghan government forces by taking out the talibantable fighters and lose track of precisely which target did are essentially no-goes. but i do believe it's a mistake. alternative, there are many different possibilities but the

united states u.s. would not intentionally blow up a hospital. >> this was driven by a desire to take out taliban fighters who are frankly all over the place. >> of course. no one is suggesting that. but civilians casualties is nothing new. if precision-guided munitions are not as precise as they would like, should they be deployed at all in an area where you know there are civilians, children, aid workers, possibly hospitals? will this prompt some sort of review or change? >> well, i mean it should be pointed out that according to the united nations, the united states is symbol for about 1% of all casualties within afghantan. upwards of 70% are perpetrated by the taliban.

this case is affirmative namamous, not representative of the over all trend but hopefully, if there is any take away from this incident, it will be for rehe'll valuation of how this tragedy happened and ultimately an even greater reduction in u.s. civilian cas yults at this. >> max abram, thanks very much. >> show russia separatists say they have started withdrawing tanks from the lionel of condtat with groups aimed at ending the conflict. a tank withdrawal agreed earlier this week is in line with the minsk peace deal reached in

february. german united in 1990, less than a year after thousands crossed from east to west following the fall of the berlin wall. profess osha jack some james have east and west germany issued together as chancellor hellmit kohl once promised. >> yes, they have. it's had a has become more connected than it was before. all the things taken into consideration, everyone will remember that as they celebrate their 21st an reverniversaranni

there are some symmetries but i think in general, i think the sense is everybody would rather be where they are now. one is the fact there is a higher unemployment on the eastern side. there haven't been as many jobs available and there is also an aged, slightly older population. a lot of people left east germany, we want over to the west side where there were more jobs available so there is a number of things that can't be made up in 25 years given the 40 years that went on before that it's going to be somewhat even anyway in the eastern part of germany, it's a little better than the north. these are problems and issues that are going to have to be taken for a longer period of

time in general, i think they have seen themselves get more equal even if it isn't quite done. >> how long before the two parts, east and west, are truly unified i don't know. i think there is going to be unevenness within every society. there is unevenness in many other democracies in roip and the unites states. i think it's going to be a function of where developments can take place in germany, west and east and it's not just about german. it's about europe in general. everybody's trying to adjust to a new world global economic situation that is not easy to develop. so there is going to be, i think, some changes, but there is always going to be a game of catch-up in both -- probably

both sides of the wall, what used to be the wall. >> we have seen the arrival of hundreds of thousands of refugees from iraq, afghanistan, syria, amongst other places. house -- i think german is expected to receive about a million refugees this year. how might that affect the dynamics between east and west it is going to be a problem that is nots necessarily only a& wes although i must say the eastern part of german has had less experience with these kinds of things. the western part of germany had more, but my sense is that there is going to be a strain on the entire system. it's not just east. it's not just west. it's going to be overall. and i think that that's going to have to be dealt with no matter which side you are talking about. is going to be a longer-term problem.

it may be several years, perhaps even longer before these kinds of things are dealt with. and my sense is that in any case, you are going to see pushback as you have elsewhere in europe and german's going to have to deal with that just like everyone else. >> thanks very much. it was good to get your thoughts on this story, professor jackson james from john hopkins university. >>? >> thank you. >> voters in the mountainous cents tral asian republic of khirzikstan will announce a newspaper leader. >> when it comes to central asian democracy, this is as good as it gets. there is such a pluralal society campaign has been short on messages of tolerance of dye versety. harassment of minorities like
