  The campaign group Amnesty International says it has evidences that Russian air strikes inSyria since September have killed hundreds of civilians causing widespread and indiscriminatedestruction to infrastructure. Amnesty suggests the strikes are in violations of internationalhumanitarian law and accuses Russia of attempting a cover-up. Sarah Rainsford reports fromMoscow. After interviewing witnesses, doctors and human rights groups, Amnesty reports thathomes and hospitals were hit as well as a market and a mosque. In most cases, the locationand timing of the attacks tally with Russian defense ministry reports on air strikes though itsays it was targeting so-called IS militants. Despite dropping thousands of bombs in Syria,Russian officials have never acknowledged causing any civilian casualties there. They extolledeffective pinpoints strikes against terrorists and had dismissed previous claims to the countryas part of an anti-Russian information war by the west.

  Iraqi forces are moving closer to the center of Ramadi after launching a major assault to driveout IS fighters who captured the city in May. Authorities say troops have taken control ofseveral districts where hundreds of IS militants are believed to remain. Iraq's ambassador to theUS Lukman Faily said Iraqi soldiers were making major gains against the jihadists. We have ajoyful day for us Iraqis. We're stepping inch by inch of retaking Ramadi which we lost backearlier in the year. And we're more or less near the center and we are making significantprogress in making sure that we can sustain and minimize collateral damage and obviouslyget to redwarf IS once and for all.

  Military planes in Helmand in southern Afghanistan have dropped food supplies in the town ofSangin where Taliban militants are besieging a few hundred police and soldiers cut off from therest of the province.

  A senior official in World Athletics Nick Davies is temporarily stepping down, pending aninternal investigation into an email he sent linked to Russian doping. The email to a colleagueof the sport's governing body, the IAAF, suggests delaying naming Russian drugs cheats aslong as they were not competing to spare embarrassment ahead of the 2013 worldchampionships in Moscow. Mr Davies has denied any wrongdoing. But the British MP DamianCollins says the claims are damaging. It suggests that they've prioritized their own reputationover dealing with the serious issue of drug cheats competing in major championships. I thinksit also adds weight to the argument that has been made against the IAAF that rather thanmoving quickly to identify cheats and have them exposed and removed from competition,they have moved too slowly and put up barriers to making that progress. World news from theBBC.

  France says it's turned away nearly three and a half thousand people from its borders since astate of emergency was introduced after last month's attacks in Paris. The French InteriorMinister Bernard Cazeneuve said they were refused entry because they posed a risk tosecurity and public order.

  The American airspace agency NASA has suspended the launch of its next mission to Marsbecause of a fault in a key search instrument. The InSight space craft was scheduled to takeoff in March and land on Mars six months later. Michael Sanders reports. It's a problem that willcause a major delay. The window for sending a probe to Mars lasts a matter of weeks andcomes around only once every 26 months. The next time Earth and Mars are in favorablealignment won't happen again until 2018. The snag lies with the seismometer, capable ofmeasuring group movement as small as the diameter of an atom. It needs a vacuum sealaround the three sensors and twice now that seal has leaked in the kind of the extreme coldfound on Mars. But NASA points to previous successes after postponements saying that theyfar outweighed any disappointment about delay.
