Two men have been found guilty of using aid convoys to send thousands of pounds in cash to extremists in syria.

In an unprecedented move, and a strong rebuke tonight, the United States has abstained from a Un Resolution which criticises israel. Traditionally, the us has always used its veto to stop such resolutions against its close ally. It condemns israeli settlement building on occupied palestinian territory, and passed with 1a votes in favour. A short time ago we heard from our correspondent Barbara Plett usher, who gave us the latest update from washington. I think the resolution shows a Strong International consensus that israeli settlement will bring in the occupied palestinian territories is illegal, and is a very serious threat to a viable peace deal, and the 0bama administration strongly felt that there was this threat, so it decided not to be so, it abstained, and therefore the resolution passed. At this is something that was a diplomatic earthquake at the un, because the americans always support the israelis, they always protect israel against criticism, so it was a very strong rebuke, as you said, and the israelis are very angry. President 0bama has only taken the step right at the end of his administration so it is going to have far less of an impact than it might have done had he done it earlier. Right now he is just putting down a marker, especially as he is going to be handing over to donald trump, who has shown that he is ready to strongly support the Israeli Government and its policies, and in fa ct after government and its policies, and in fact after the vote he has already tweeted things will be different afterjanuary 20, which is of course when he takes office.

In the last half hour, mark hamill has tweeted. Well, we understand that she is now in the los angeles hospital, in a critical condition, after having, as you have just said, critical condition, after having, as you havejust said, that critical condition, after having, as you have just said, that she suffered a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, during her flight from london to los angeles, and this has all unfolded over the last couple of hours, the middle of the afternoon here. The flight arrived at around noon, the paramedics had been alerted at los angeles airport and we re alerted at los angeles airport and were waiting for the flight.

And she has had a great career in hollywood, from those early days, when she started in star wars, that is what catapulted her to fame and fortune, but she has appeared in many other movies since then, but really made her mark as a writer.

It was watched over by banners of syrias three wise men, President Putin, Bashar Al Assad, and the leader of lebanons hezbollah movement. The regime supporters are often under estimated in the west. There was rumours that the killing might soon be over. The last buses out of the east of aleppo delivered thousands of fighters and civilians into an uncertain future. The fall of Eastern Aleppo is the rebels greatest defeat and it shows how the war is now being decided by the foreign powers that have intervened. So, what is next in syria . Bashar al assad and his allies have won themselves some options. Their victory in aleppo does not end the war. Thousands of Rebel Fighters have been bussed out to idlib, a neighbouring province. They regime will want it back. The question is where. They made decide to make eastern guta their military priority. It is part of damascus and is vulnerable because rebel groups have weakened themselves by infighting. Foreign powers are shaping the battlefield. Turkey has troops fighting in syria, and back some of the rebel groups in aleppo. But it watched while russia and its allies destroyed them. That is because turkey needs russia to stand aside while it hits the kurds, now its main target. While Eastern Aleppo fell, the west was a bystander. That is because the searing policy of the west, never coherent, has now failed co
