12:28Now PlayingToday we spend the hour looking at a damning new report that reveals how U.S.led airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq have killed far more civilians than officials have acknowledged. An ontheground investigation by the New York Times Magazine titled “The Uncounted” found the actual civilian death toll may be 31 times higher than U.S. officials admit. We interview one of the survivors featured in the report. Joining us from Erbil, Iraq, Basim Razzo describes the 2015 U.S. airstrike on his home in Mosul, in which his wife, daughter, brother and nephew were killed. Video of the strike on his home shows a target hit with military precision.
