American military transport aircraft have dropped more than 100 pallets of supplies, including ammunition1, grenades and rockets to Syrian rebels fighting against the Islamic State group. Our Washington correspondent, Gary O'Donoghue, says it's a first concrete sign of a change of strategy from the US. Last week, their factory backed off their train-and-equip programme, and they were trying to find moderate Syrian forces, to train it, put back into Syria to fight Islamic State. That was really a bit of a disaster. Ah so this is the new phase of that campaign, where they're trying to get weapons, equipment to some of the groups already organised on the ground, some of the groups they trust and more than saying is that they're gonna vet2 the leaders of those groups, and they say the leaders of the groups who got this stuff last night have been vetted3, then let them to ensure that they are actually taking on IS.

The United Nations says criminal gangs are exploiting the migration12 crisis in Europe by charging thousands of dollars for fake passports and identity cards. The scale of the business has been compared to the illegal smuggling13 of drugs or weapons. The BBC spoke14 to one man originally from Latakia in Syria, who managed to get to Brussels using a false European identity card. He described what happened when he presented the document to border officials in Athens. I passed him, and I gave him my identity card and the ticket. And he just said ‘Nice trip, sir'. I said ‘Thanks', and I just walked in like nothing happened. There were really 5 persons, 5 police officers in front of me. So they didn't notice anything. I just go and take like nothing happened.
