US Afghan strikes 'killed dozens'

The Red Cross says air strikes by US forces in Afghanistan on Tuesday are now thought to have killed dozens of civilians including women and children.

It says civilians were sheltering from fighting in the province of Farah when their houses were struck.

Jessica Barry, a spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, spoke to the BBC.
