Netanyahu says there will be a full investigation into deaths at religious festival.

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has promised a thorough investigation into Thursday night's crush at a crowded religious festival in which at least forty five people died. A number of children were among the victims. 

Also in the programme: many are killed in clashes over water resources on Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan border; and NASA pioneers new technology to look inside a black hole's smaller cousin, the neutron star.
