here's our north america correspondent, john sudworth. ethan crumbley was just 15 years old when he was given the semiautomatic handgun as an early christmas present. he put it in his backpack, took it to school, and carried out the mass shooting that claimed the lives of four of his fellow students. such is the epidemic of gun violence in this country, of course, that his sentencing last year, to life imprisonment without parole, may have been just another footnote, except for this unique development, the charging of both of his parents with involuntary manslaughter. there were convicted in two separate trials of the past few months and i think you are right, gun—control campaigners will be hoping that this very stringent sentence handed down, a minimum of ten years for each parent served, will send a message that will resonate in every home in america where guns are kept within reach of children. we should say, though, some legal experts suggest that the possibility can be overstated, there are particular circumstances in this case, t

john kirby, the national security spokesman, saying that it wasn't going to happen, so it seems no immediate change in policy there. the letter goes on, it says, "if the strike is found to have "violated us or international law, future arms packages should be "withheld until those responsible are held accountable". now, it seems, clearly, that there won't be any immediate change in us policy towards israel and the way that this war is being conducted, but this is the kind of criticism from within the democrats, and especially involving people like nancy pelosi, that is quite likely to hit home with president biden, especially during an election year, and it may well influence policy in the weeks and months to come. so along with the growing number of countries, aid organisations have stressed the need for an independent investigation into the deaths of the aid workers. sean dilley reports. one of the vehicles carrying seven aid workers killed in an israeli air strike on monday. their charity's logo clearly visible here — but not, say israeli authorities, seen by military drone operators. i

our north america correspondent john sudworth has more on the vote. yeah, there's been a long day of speeches here at the united nations, passionately held positions on both sides. the palestinian representative saying that granting palestine full membership status would give hope to the palestinian people. a response from the israeli ambassador here saying that six months on from the hamas attacks, it would simply be a reward for terror. now, the us position, as you say, has long been known. it argues that granting palestine full status would be premature, that it should not come ahead of a negotiated settlement — a bilateral agreement between palestine and israel — but, nonetheless, although that was the us position, it was clear that it did not want — if it could possibly avoid it, to have to do what it did today. there are reports of pretty intense lobbying behind the scenes. the us would have liked to have got this vote delayed or even better had other members come on board to help defeat it. but in the end, what's remarkable is 12 of the 1
