This past hour that washington will air drop humanitarian aid into the gaza strip. And thats where we are going to start. Theres growing International Pressure for a full investigation into what went wrong yesterday. As the aid convoy arrived in Northern Gaza. The israeli army has acknowledged that its soldiers opened fire at one point but says most of the deaths were caused by a crush, or lorries running people over. Our special correspondent fergal keane, working with bbc verify, has spent the day piecing together more details of what happened. His report contains some distressing images. Shots cracked through the night. People start to move. Then run to get away. In this section of the crowd there is panic. And as casualties streamed into local hospitals, the testimony of witnesses.

Gone. So the administration in response to all of this adopted a sort of watch and wait. Again i think it is sort of Wishful Thinking posture. Putin gave two speeches, one in Early September and another in mid september. Especially the second one he stated very specifically what it was he wanted to do. He wanted to form a new coalition that would fight against the Islamic State. He felt that it had to include the Syrian Armed Forces because they were the only ones capable of defeating on the ground to be the ground force to defeat the Islamic State. There was some rational in this even to usis. It is almost a mere image of the policy that the Obama Administration has had in iraq. Which is to bolster the local forces and to use a lot of airstrikes to hit the bad guys and go in and occupy a territory that you force the bad guys to vacate. Of course the administration didnt see the wisdom of doing that with Syrian Military and especially not with assad in charge. But they decided as a res
