Afghan protests over US airstrikes

Hundreds of students in the Afghan capital Kabul have held protests over US airstrikes which reportedly killed around 100 civilians in Farah province last week.

The US military admitted there had been civilian deaths but blamed Taleban militants who, it said, were firing from the top of buildings where civilians sheltered.

Martin Patience reports from Kabul.
