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. Lets hear from an eyewitness who was at the crossing at the time of the attack. Translation we were sitting and standing at the checkpoint| waiting for our turn after the bus in front of us was searched. There was a bus and a truck in front of us. A man got out and carried out the shooting. Thank God Nothing happened to us, nothing happened to us or the passenger but the Truck Drivers were put on the ground. We bus passengers didnt know what to do and we were panicking. Mike thomson is our correspondent injerusalem. He told me more about thejordanian investigation. The two countries do have or have had quite close relations in some ways on 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. And you mentioned that, i mean, what do you think could change, if anything, when it comes to that Relationship Given Todays events . Well, its very hard to say at the moment. I mean, we dont know, for instance, whether this man whos been named the suspect, named by the israeli security service, we dont know whether he acted alone or in a group or whether he was directly backed by iran or hamas or whatever. But obviously, even though they have their tensions, Jordan And Israel will want to try and sort something out here. Neither is going to welcome the sort of events weve seen today at the Allenby Bridge border, because that really is quite horrific. And mike, all of this, of course, comes increase amid increased activity in the occupied West Bank. And of course, as we mentioned in the introduction, that nine Day Operation Injenin has now drawn to a close, but were seeing more and more killings there as well. Yes, thats right. Israeli forces have pulled out ofjenin. Thats a Flashpoint City in the West Bank. They pull out of there now, but its believed something like 39 people are at least that number died during that operation. And there are continued tensions when we look at the events there since the start of the gaza war, its reckoned that more than this is by the palestinian Health Ministry that more than 660 palestinians have been killed over that period, and around 23 israelis, according to israeli security forces. So it looks like something that could always spiral even further out of control. And that is whats worrying people, that this could really take off. Hamas has repeatedly called for an uprising in the West Bank until recently, it hasnt. There hasnt been one quite on the scale that hamas wants. But we did have a Suicide Bombing that again, hamas has called for not long ago in israel, carried out by palestinian extremists. So there is huge cause of concern here that this could spiral completely out of control. 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 the hamas attacks on october 7th. Meanwhile, overnight, 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. Here in the 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 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. You can watch her interview with the Prime Minister on iplayer. In the past hour, venezuelas opposition leader, Edmundo Gonzalez, is reported to have landed at a spanish military base. He left the country, after challenging President Maduro in elections injuly. Mr gonzalez had been taking refuge in the Spanish Embassy in caracas. Heres the spanish Foreign Minister on granting Mr Gonzalez political asylum. Translation i was able to speak to him once he was on the plane and he expressed his gratitude to the government and to spain. I told him how happy we are that he is well and on his way to spain and i reiterated our commitment of all venezuelans. We reiterate our demand that the vote tallies we presented, that they be verifiable and they will not be presented, that they be verifiable and they will not recognise a victory if that cannot be done. Spain will always be there to promote Dialogue And Negotiation between the government and opposition. The internationally renowned specialist childrens hospital, great 0rmond Street in london, says that its carrying out a review of more than 700 patients cases, after concerns were raised about one of its former surgeons yaserjabber, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon. With me is our correspondent nicky schiller. What are the hospital saying . 700 cases, the scale is staggering. 700 cases, the scale is staggering 700 cases, the scale is stanerina. ,. , 700 cases, the scale is stanerina. , staggering. Great 0rmond Street as ou staggering. Great 0rmond Street as you said staggering. Great 0rmond Street as you said is staggering. Great 0rmond Street as you said is worldfamous staggering. Great 0rmond Street as you said is worldfamous for i as you said is world famous for treating children and says its looking at 721 cases of children who came into contact with yaserjabbar as she worked there as a surgeon. He is reported to be an expert in the reconstruction. Of the 39 cases reviewed, more than half were found to have been harmed, 13 of those severely. Lawyers representing some of the family is treated by yaserjabbar said the children as young as four months old were subjected to unnecessary surgery and suffered life changing injuries with one child having to undergo an amputation that could possibly have been avoided if different treatment had been followed. This lawyer representing seven of the children says the claims are shocking. We have been instructed to representing claims against Mrjabbar Have suffered a variety of orthopaedic injuries. Some of them have nerve damage, some of them have muscle damage. We have a client that has undergone an amputation of his lower limb. We have clients that have permanent deformities that have undergone unnecessary, unnecessary operations as well. Great 0rmond Street has said its incredibly sorry for the Worry And Uncertainty this has caused and it has conducted all patients and families affected. In addition to the cases i mentioned that have been fully reviewed, a56 cases have been looked at by senior nurses and paediatrician and have not been categorised as needing their most urgent attention. It will take 18 months to complete this review and the solicitor representing some of the children wants it done as quickly as possible. We understand the difficulties, given the sheer volume of number of cases, that the trust has to review, that it will take time to undertake that review. What we would urge the trust to do is to try and undertake that review as soon as possible. What we do know from representing clients who are children is that sometimes the injuries that dont manifest until theyre much older, and families and our clients, the patients want to know firstly, if they have suffered harm from the Treatment Theyve already received, or alternatively, whether they are likely to suffer injuries in the future on account of treatment they have received. And if that is the case, they may wish to seek Treatment And Advice elsewhere. Its very important for them to know that. So the sooner the trust can can conclude that, the better we know that they have, um, asked five independent surgeons to review the care. We know that this is a very Niche Area of medicine, and the availability of surgeons will be limited, but we would urge them to to widen the scope so that there are more surgeons involved in that independent review so it can be undertaken in, in a shorter period of time as possible. What about the surgeon himself have we heard from him . Its clear this is an incredibly serious investigation. Incredibly serious investiuation. , g. , incredibly serious investiuation. , investigation. Yaserjabbar no [on. Er investigation. Yaserjabbar no longer works investigation. Yaserjabbar no longer works for investigation. Yaserjabbar no longer works for great investigation. Yaserjabbar no | longer works for great 0rmond Street and has not been licensed to practice in the uk since january this year but we understand he is still working as an orthopaedic clinic in dubai. We have contacted Yaser Jabbar but have not yet heard back from him. Lets turn to ukraine where at least two civilians have been killed, and four injured, including two children in russian 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 polatava, 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 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 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 kursk 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 saying 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. And you are in ukraine at the moment. Now its time for a look at todays sport. Hello from the bbc sport centre. 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. But the visitors are making a go of it, on day three of the third test. Englands return for their second Innings Hasnt gone to plan. 0llie pope, Joe Root and Harry Brook among those failing to make an impact before going, england now 82 7, after Sri Lanka were all out for 263 earlier Josh Hull and 0lly Stone with three wickets each. 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 201a. 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. Every gold, Silver And Bronze medal has now been decided at the 202a Paralympic Games in paris, with the final Medal Table looking like this. China leading the way with 9a golds, ahead of great britain who won eight more than they managed in tokyo three years ago. The united states were third with 36 golds. Earlier british athlete, charlotte henshaw, 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. David weir also announced his retirement from paralympic competition. 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. A huge result for canada, who came away with a first victory over the united states on us soil since 1957, with a 2 1win in kansas city. Jacob shaffelburg and Jonathan David scored, with defensive for the us proving costly. It was just canadas second win over the americans in 27 matches on us soil. They know it. We speak the truth to each other. The mentality to fight and run and sacrifice, i cant do that for them. That is on them. And The End of the day, its a combination between me and them. And not long to wait now, till the first matches of 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.

The stadium was packed out and all the volunteers, everyone that has come to support and volunteer, theyve been incredible and so friendly and its been amazing to have that support from people who live here in paris and people have come to watch us. The Home Crowd was packed out the british people so its been incredible. And this isnt the first time you have won a gold which is so remarkable. This is your third, right . Yes, third paralympics and third gold and firsts to win three back to back titles on the spot so its one of the things, that goal in life that ive had for such a long time now and since starting the sport and when i first started rowing nearly ten years ago i looked around the Rowing Lake and looked at my idols and thought, maybe one day that could be me and entering their league and last week exactly one week ago today, i hopefully entered that leak with them into their legendary status. We are all proud of you and just tell us what sort of work it takes. Obviously you been training for years to get to your third but what does that involve a daily basis in the lead up to the paralympics . 0bviously knew the olympic games, the paralympics is a full time job and we are lucky to be supported by the national Lottery And Anyone who plays in order to do this is our dayjobs and we are so incredibly lucky because of that and we have to put in 25 to 30 hours of training a week and were lucky as a paralympic group in rowing that we fully involved with that. We also train with the olympic programme in a Training Centre in reading and thus incredible for us to have that level of integration with the paralympic programme because not every paralympic sport is as integrated as we are.
