MSF Hospital Bombing Report

US military enquiry into Kunduz bombing, Child marriages in Africa, IS tunnels in Sinjar.

The US Military have admitted that not just human error but failures in procedures and technical fault were to blame for the US bombing in October of a clinic run by Medicins Sans Frontiers in the Afghan city of Kunduz. The BBC's Harun Najafizada reports.

Forty percent of girls in sub-Saharan Africa get married before the age of 18, and according to a new Unicef report, child brides in Africa could more than double to 310 million by 2050. The African Union is holding a summit in Zambia this week to find solutions. The BBC's Nomsa Maseko reports from Lusaka.

On 12 November Kurdish fighters entered the town of Sinjar in northern Iraq, retaking it from so-called Islamic State. Now that the town is free again, people from the outside world have been getting a chance to look around. One such is the Dutch photo-journalist, Eddy van Wessel, who has found and filmed a network of IS tunnels under houses in Sinjar and he speaks to us from Iraq.
