Aleppo hospitals bombed
Syria's civil war took another dark turn Thursday as regime airstrikes, supported by the Russians, targeted the remaining hospitals in rebel-held eastern Aleppo.
Syria Crisis
Aleppo "a slaughterhouse"
Opposition fighters in Aleppo will not let wounded residents leave the city. At the same time, Russian and Syrian officials will not let humanitarian aid inside. CBS News' Margaret Brennan has the latest.
Major offensive against ISIS
The battle to retake Iraq's second-largest city from ISIS militants is underway, as thousands of Iraqi and Kurdish fighters are advancing on villages outside Mosul. With American warplanes and Special Operations commandos providing support, the opening phase of the fight could take weeks or months. Holly Williams reports from the front line.

Aleppo under siege
The rebel-held areas of the Syrian city of Aleppo are currently under siege. Neither food nor aid has been able to get in to reach the civilians trapped inside. CBSN anchor Reena Ninan has the harrowing details.
Syrian civilians under attack
In eastern Aleppo, 275,000 civilians are under attack from Syrian and Russian bombers and cut off from all aid according to the United Nations. As Elizabeth Palmer reports, the bombing looks like a deliberate campaign of terror to force civilians to flee.
Syrian war analysis
The United States opposes the rule of President Assad in Syria, but he's tightened his grip on power with support from Russia, as the nation's humanitarian crisis grows worse. Nicholas Burns, professor of International Relations at Harvard Kennedy School of Government and former U.S. Ambassador to NATO under President George W. Bush, joins CBSN to discuss the crisis in Syria.
Inside Aleppo
In Syria there's little hope a broken ceasefire will be revived. Since last week, Russian and Syrian warplanes have hammered the country's largest city, Aleppo. Elizabeth Palmer was in Aleppo when the attacks resumed.
Aleppo airstrikes
After a cease-fire collapsed in Syria, Russian and Syrian warplanes have been hammering Syria's largest city, Aleppo. The head of the United Nations said he is appalled by the "chilling" upsurge in attacks and warned the use of certain bombs against civilians may amount to war crimes. More now from Jonathan Vigliotti in London.
King Abdullah
Almost 1.5 million Syrian refugees have crossed into the neighboring kingdom of Jordan. The country does not have oil wealth, like some Middle Eastern countries, and its water supply is limited. In this "60 Minutes" preview, Scott Pelley speaks with with Jordan's King Abdullah II.
Dozens dead in Aleppo
The little hope that came from a short Syrian cease-fire has all but vanished. And as diplomats in New York try to revive the truce, Russian and Syrian warplanes are pounding a rebel-held area of Aleppo. Elizabeth Palmer reports from Damascus.
Child's letter to Obama
A 6-year-old's letter to President Obama is going viral after thousands shared his heartfelt request to have Omar Daqneesh, the Syrian boy whose picture also went viral after an air strike, live with him. CBSN's Reena Ninan and DeMarco Morgan have more.
Syrian civil war
With the Syrian cease-fire over, the rebel-held side of Aleppo is once again being pummeled by air strikes. As Elizabeth Palmer reports, citizens there now must decide whether to escape, or stay -- and both options are life-threatening.
Syrian aid demolished
The U.S. is pointing the finger at Russia for an attack on a UN convoy in Syria that demolished aid headed for war-torn Aleppo. The only planes flying in the area at the time of the strike were Syrian or Russian. As Elizabeth Palmer reports, Russia is denying the claims.
Syria cease-fire fails
The United Nations shut down all aid shipments to Syria after a convoy was hit by an airstrike. The Syrian Red Crescent says the overnight attack killed several people, including at least one aid worker. It follows a weekend airstrike by an American-led coalition that killed dozens of Syrian government troops. Elizabeth Palmer reports from Aleppo, Syria, where the violence has left a weeklong cease-fire in shambles.
Syrian cease-fire ends
The cease-fire in Syria has ended, and air strikes have already begun hammering the city of Aleppo. Elizabeth Palmer reports tensions have been high since a U.S. air strike hit the Syrian army.
Airstrike threatens cease-fire
On Saturday, a U.S. Coalition airstrike targeting ISIS mistakenly took out Syrian government troops. The act threatens a cease-fire brokered by the U.S. and Russia, who have been fighting on opposite sides of the war. Elizabeth Palmer has more.
Syrian troops killed
Russia's military claims U.S.-led forces unleashed an airstrike that killed dozens of Syrian troops. U.S. officials say a coalition strike aimed at ISIS targets was immediately halted when officials learned Syrian troops may have been inadvertently hit. Elizabeth Palmer has more from Aleppo.
Syria gridlock
The latest convoy bringing food and supplies to the civil war-ravaged city of Aleppo is being held in Syria, after crossing from neighboring Turkey. The convoy had been given clearance to leave Turkey, but did not have the go-ahead to make deliveries. Secretary of State John Kerry is asking his Russian counterpart to pressure the Syrian government to end the delay. Meanwhile in Aleppo, the situation grows more dire. Elizabeth Palmer reports.
Aleppo divided
Aleppo is divided in two between the government and its armed opposition. One side of Aleppo is starving. Trucks that were supposed to bring food and medicine to rebel-held neighborhoods are still blocked off in spite of the ceasefire. Meanwhile, across town, people are enjoying the small pleasures of normal life. Elizabeth Palmer reports.
G-20: No Syria ceasefire deal
President Obama's last day at the G-20 economic summit in China was overshadowed by North Korea's latest missile test. At the summit, Mr. Obama met with Russia's president to keep Syrian peace talks on track-but at the last minute, Russia pulled back. Margaret Brennan reports from Hangzhou, China.
Turkey-Syria border
There was more heavy fighting Monday along the Turkey-Syria border. After an easy victory against ISIS, Turkish forces and U.S.-backed Syrian rebels headed further south to take on Kurdish fighters, also allies with the U.S. Turkey views the Kurdish group as terrorists. Holly Williams reports.
10,000th refugee in U.S.
The U.S. has reached its target week of taking in 10,000 Syrian war refugees in a year-old resettlement program. CBS News' Margaret Brennan discusses on CBSN.
