Transcript for Coalition members killed in Syria

but want to get to that breaking news first. Russia with that new show of force testing an intercontinental ballistic missile, this comes as tensions escalate between Putin and the U.S. So let's go to our chief global affairs correspondent, Martha Raddatz.
