A jordanian Truck Driver was shot dead by israeli security forces. The incident happened at the King Hussein Allenby bridge crossing. The victims are thought to have been private Security Personnel. Jordan has launched an investigation into the shootings. Jordan and israel signed a Peace Treaty in 1994 and have close security and economic ties. But diplomatic relations have been strained. This latest incident comes amid increased activity in the occupied West Bank. Last week, Israeli Forces withdrew from jenin after a nine Day Operation there. The palestinian Health Ministry says more than 600 palestinians have been killed in violence in the West Bank, since hamas� s 7th October Attack on israel. It comes amid high regional tension. 0vernight, there were Missile Exchanges between israel and the lebanese militant group, his brother with a number of projectiles fired from both directions across the border. Lets speak to our Correpondent Injerusalem mike thomson. Good to talk to you. We are hearing now that investigation has been launched to find out more about what happened. What more about what happened. What more do we know . Yes, they are indeed looking into this. The two countries have had quite close relations in some ways on security but tensions have been rising because jordan security but tensions have been rising becausejordan does have a very high population of palestinian refugees, many of whom have been deeply critical of israeli action in gaza.

Yes, Israeli Forces have pulled out| Israeli Forces have pulled out ofjenin, a Flashpoint City in the West Bank. They are out there now but its believed something like 39 people died during that operation and there are continued tensions. When we look at events there since the start of the gaza war, is reckoned that, according to the palestinian Health Ministry, the number killed over that period and around the 23 israelis. So it looks like something that could always spiral further out of control and that is what is worrying people, that this could really take off. Hamas has called for an uprising in the West Bank and until recently hasnt been quite on the scale that hamas once but we did have a Suicide Bomber and again hamas has called for not long ago and israel carried out by palestinian extremist. There is huge because of concern here that this is spiralling out of control. , ~ ,. , plenty more on those developments in the Middle East on the Bbc News Website or on the app. Uk prime Minister Sir Keir starmer says, in order to fix the economy, hes prepared for his government to be unpopular including by axing Winter Fuel payments for pensioners. Sir keir has defended the move, which will be the subject of a vote in the House Of Commons this week. Heres our political correspondent georgia roberts. Tough choices, difficult decisions. In his first Tv Interview in Downing Street with the bbc� s laura kuenssberg, the Prime Minister was clear hes prepared to be disliked. Were going to have to be unpopular. Tough decisions are tough decisions. Popular decisions arent tough, theyre easy. The things the last government ran away from that governments traditionally run away from, im convinced that because theyve run away from difficult decisions, we havent got the change we need for the country. His early popularity problems mainly stem from the decision to scrap Winter Fuel payments for all but the poorest pensioners, worth up to £300 a year. The government says it will save over £1 billion this year by doing so, a necessary saving because of claims of a £22 billion Black Hole in the countrys finances. Nearly half of that £22 billion, £9 billion comes from decisions that your government has made to give many public sector workers pay rises above inflation. The last government set up the Pay Review mechanism, as every government does every year, and they set the framework for that. And they knew that the Pay Review recommendations would come back. What they didnt do was allocate any money at all to the outcome. The prime Minister Wouldnt say what the consequences would be for Labour Mps who rebel against him in a vote on the issue in the commons next week. But this Labour Mp is among those who have already made up their mind to abstain. This isnt about unpopular or difficult decisions. Its about impossible decisions for our elderly. Already weve seen that the economic case has been shredded. A report into the Grenfell Fire Tragedy this week found deep historic failings on fire safety. There are at least 2,000 buildings in the uk still waiting to have Flammable Cladding removed. The prime Minister Couldnt say when those thousands of homes would be safe, but acknowledged it was taking too long. Were speeding up the process. I want to get this done as quickly as possible. Each block will be on a different timetable. Im not able to give you an end date, but i can tell you i meant what i said when i responded to the report. I said, this has to be a Turning Point for. I said, this has to be a Turning Point. For a government elected to achieve change. Its been a gloomy debut. This is a Prime Minister who will continue to warn us all that that change will, at least for now, have to come at a cost. A development on a story we have been watching in the past few hours and in the last few minutes, Venezuelas Opposition LeaderEdmundo Gonzalez has landed at a spanish Military Base. He left the country after he challenged president Nicolas Maduro in those elections in july. Those where contested elections with many western nations including the us saying Mr Gonzalez had in fact won the election but the Supreme Court in venezuela did In The EndSay Maduro had won. So Mr Gonzalez had been taking refuge in caracas. Western powers refuse to recognise maduro as the winner Ofjulys Collection unless given access to detailed voting data. We show the pictures there of the arrival base. That is the Military Base and a plane carrying the venezuelan Opposition Leader is said to have landed there. Mr gonzalez left venezuelan overnight, sought asylum in spain and Spanish Officials have said monks to mounting political pressure from the west for those elections to be looked at and we hearing that other people including the Vice President of venezuela have said that Mr Gonzalez had asked the Spanish Government for asylum. After seeking refuge in caracas some days ago, madrid had agreed to gonzalez� s safe passage. There you have it. The base where we understand Edmundo Gonzalez has arrived in spain, making this story even more complicated and complex and we will of course stay across it. Londons internationally renowned childrens� hospital, great 0rmond Street, says its carrying out an urgent Case Review of more than 700 young patients seen by one of its former surgeons. .

Lets return to our top Story Israel closing all its Land Border crossings with jordan after three israeli civilians were killed in a shooting at the Border Crossing Betweenjordan and the occupied West Bank. The attacker reported to be a jordanian Truck Driver was shot dead by israeli security forces. The incident happened at the King Hussein Allenby bridge crossing. Less here from an eyewitness who was there at the time of the attack. Translation ~ , translation we were sitting and standing translation we were sitting and standing at translation we were sitting and standing at the translation we were sitting and standing at the checkpoint| and standing at the checkpoint after the bus in front of us were searched. A man got out of the truck and carried out the shooting. Thank God Nothing happened to us and nothing happened to us and nothing happened to us and nothing happened to the passengers but the Truck Drivers are put on the Truck Drivers are put on the ground. We didnt know what to do. We the ground. We didnt know what to do. ~. ~ for more on this, im joined by arman mahmoudian, middle East Researcher at the university of south florida. Thank you forjoining us here on Bbc News. Lets put this into more context. This Border Crossing has now been closed. What we were saying earlier is Israel And Jordan have quite a good relationship and signed the Peace Treaty, have good security and other ties although diplomatic ties have become strained since last october. Where do you see this 0ctober. Where do you see this Incident Today impacting that relationship at all . This Incident Today impacting that relationship at all . Relationship at all . This is a Maor Relationship at all . This is a major Change Relationship at all . This is a major change up relationship at all . This is a major Change Up Event. Relationship at all . This is a major Change Up Event. I i relationship at all . This is a major Change Up Event. I doubt it will deteriorate their relationship, it actually might expand the Security Relations within israelis and jordanians. But i believe the significant point of it is a change of Security Dynamic of the jordanian and israeli border and also West Bank issues. We have seen an endeavour by the israelis since 2016 when they established the brigade to smuggle weapons to the palestinian population and also West Bank. Its safe to assume this is related to that but we know it has been an endeavour and publicly said iran has to have more Access And Move to arms. If its have more Access And Move to arms. If its related to that and they had succeeded to send weapons and militias into West Bank, we would see a major significant Change Up Event in terms of Security Dynamic in the area and i think israelis should take this more seriously regarding whats happening in gaza although the casualties of october seven was obscene 0ctober seven was obscene higher while West Bank has 3 Million population. Any change in that region would lead to conflict that would be hard to suppress. He mentioned in that quite hard to suppress. He mentioned in that quite a hard to suppress. He mentioned in that quite a lot hard to suppress. He mentioned in that quite a lot about hard to suppress. He mentioned in that quite a lot about the in that quite a lot about the increased tensions in the occupied West Bank. We were saying is beginning at the beginning of the programme that the nine Day Operation injenin is coming to an end but there are still ongoing tensions there. ,. ,. ,. , there. Yes, there are ongoing tensions and there. Yes, there are ongoing tensions and the there. Yes, there are ongoing tensions and the various tensions and the various reasons there tensions are rising. The other issue is the recent recourse that shows an increase ofjewish settlers in West Bank. I doubt Thejenin Operation or tactical operation at that level could actually resolve the matter, i think as the war in gaza continues and exchange of fire between israelis and hezbollah continues, the tensions will intensify further. Israelis have a relative Security Dominance in the area but i doubt they can control the area marginal level. Marginal level. 0k. Thank you for sharing marginal level. 0k.

A few more hours to wait till the final of the mens us open, which could deliver an american champion for the first time in over 20 years as home favourite Taylor Fritz takes on World Number one jannik sinner. Its a first Grand Slam final for fritz, who says the match will be less stressful than his five set Semifinal Win over compatriot frances tiafoe. Fritz hopes his progress can be the start of good things to come in the future. It shows we are all moving in the right direction, i think when One Of Us to something, the others follow, they get relief from it. And i think this is just the start for all of us. Its been a Stop Start Kind of day at the oval, between england and sri lanka. Play was delayed in the first session of day three of the third test to due to the weather, but it didnt distract englands bowlers. Josh hull, with more for wickets for england, on whats proving to be a fine debut. Sri lanka eventually all out for 263, giving england a lead of 62. Englands return for their second innings after lunch didnt go quite to plan, before the weather intervened again. Stand in Captain 0llie Pope unable to reprise his first innings heroics, out for 7. They are back out again, but not so good for england, now 66 a. Meanwhile, england all Rounder Moeen Ali has retired from international cricket, saying the time is right to move on. Moeen played all three formats for england after making his international debut in 2014. The 37 year old was part of the white ball squads that won the 50 over World Cup on Home Soil back in 2019, and the t20 World Cup two years ago. Its the final day of the Paralympic Games in paris. 1a Golds Up For Grabs before the Closing Ceremony and after finishing fifth in the mens t54 marathon, David Weir announced his retirement from paralympic competition, having won six golds during his career at the games. Another british athlete, charlotte henshaw, has doubled her tally of titles in paris, this time winning the kayak womens single 200m. Her compatriot Emma Wiggs finished behind her, after the two won golds in two separate disciplines on saturday with germanys Anja Adler third Laura Sugar took defended her paralympic title in the Womens Kl3 Kayak single 200m. 0nto sundays fixtures now, and Northern Ireland look to make it two wins from two in the nations league. When they take on bulgaria later. Elsewhere on Sunday Scotland take on portugal. Scotlands travel to the match proved to be a little turbulent. Their flight was delayed, and then after eventually arriving they had a two Hour Bus Journey to lisbon ahead of a match itself thatll provide plenty of problems. When you play football, you want to challenge yourself and it will be a challenge, we have to step up. I think defensively we played well if you take away the individual errors. That is something you have to work on in these players have to find a way to concentrate for the whole game and not make that kind of mistake. Luis suarez played his last game for uruguay on friday, 17 years after making his debut. It was an emotional goodbye, with messages from some of his former team mates including Lionel Messi and neymar. Suarez is the all time leading Goal Scorer of his country, and has played in four World Cups and five copa americas. Its the first sunday of the new nfl season. First overall pick from this years draft, caleb williams, will make his debut for the Chicago Bears later. You get more on that on our website. Thats bbc. Com sport. But thats all the sport for now. Including two children by russian Air Strikes at least two civilians have been killed, and four injured including two children by russian Air Strikes on the northern ukrainian city Of Sumy. Ukraines Air Force says it destroyed 15 of 23 drones and one guided Air Missile launched by russia in the overnight attack. City authorities say several homes and cars were damaged. Meanwhile, in poltava, funerals have been taking places for victims of the recent russian missle attack, which killed at least 55 people and injuired more than 300. The strike on September The 3rd was one of the deadliest since the beginning of the war. I spoke to peter dickinson, editor of ukraine alert, atlantic council, whos in kyiv. He told me the significance Of Sumy and what weve being seeing there in recent Months Sumy is in the north of ukraine, very close to the russian border. It is the city, the Embarkation Point for ukraines only invasion of russia into the neighbouring Kursk Region of russia so its close to the border and where ukraines been consolidating its forces to send them into casks was now very much having spent much of the war relatively quiet is now very much in the front lines of the war. These recent attacks that happened last night and this morning are the latest in a series of similar strikes. The attacks seem to be Targeting Civilians in what can be described as a reprisal effort. And all of this comes following months of ukraine asking for more military Hardware And Help and we are hearing of course that the uk will be sending hundreds more short range missiles to ukraine and of course we have the Surprise Incursion a couple weeks ago. That bolstered and boosted ukraine but how much is the additional hardware really a factor in this . The recent announcements we saw this week of additional hardware for ukraine missiles, you mentioned other weapon systems, of course they are all welcome but The Big Question here in kyiv is when will the west allow ukraine to strike back and defend itself inside russia . The restrictions that are still in place are preventing ukraine from doing so and seen as absolutely key in this war. Ukrainians argue that until they are allowed to strike back inside russia, as long as russia is still protected essentially and remains a Safe Haven against ukraine, putin will not end his invasion and a Peace Treaty will be impossible. They are seeing clearly, more and more so in fact, we need to have a green light and restrictions removed to go to strike the targets inside russia. Super Typhoon Yagi has devastated northern vietnam, leaving at least nine people dead. A family of four was killed in a landslide caused by Heavy Rains and fishermen are missing at sea.
