Together with MSNBC's war correspondent, Richard Engel, Rachel Maddow, who hosts the "Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC at 9 PM, EST, report from Camp Phoenix in Afghanistan on two incidents which took place over the past two days in Afghanistan.

The first was when five Afghan troops were killed by a U.S. helicopter who mistakenly thought they were Taliban fighters. The "friendly fire" incident has caused a major riff with the the people and government of Afghanistan.

The second has to with British troops leaving the dangerous district of Sangin in Afghanistan. More than 100 British troops have been killed in Sangin since the Brits arrived in Afghanistan.

The district is going to be turned over to the U.S. Marines to handle all combat operations.
