Says it is looking at 721 patients, all children who had come into contact with yasserjabber while he worked there as a surgeon. Now he is reported to be an expert in limb reconstruction. Now, so far, of the 39 cases reviewed, more than half were found to have been harmed. 13 of those patients severely. Now, lawyers representing some of the families treated by Yasserjabber Say that 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. Now the solicitors representing seven of the children says the claims are shocking. Have a listen to what shes had to say. Clients that we have been instructed to represent in claims against Mrjabber 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 operations as well. Now, Great Ormond Street Has said it is incredibly sorry for the Worry And Uncertainty that this has caused and that it has contacted all patients and families affected. Now, in addition to the cases that i mentioned that have been fully reviewed, it says a56 cases have been looked at by a senior nurse and a paediatrician and have not been categorised as needing their most urgent attention. Now it is likely it is going to take 18 months to complete this review and, again, the solicitor representing some of the children wants it done as quickly as possible. I 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 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 they have 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 widen the scope so that there are more surgeons involved in that independent review, so it can be undertaken in a shorter period of time as possible. What have we heard, if at all, from the surgeon in the centre of all of this . Yasserjabbar. Well, yasserjabbar no longer works for great ormond street, and he has not been licensed to practice in the uk since january this year. But we understand that he is still working at an orthopaedic clinic in dubai. Now, of course, we have contacted mrjabbar for comment but so far we havent heard back from him. Israel has closed 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. Israels Prime Minister said it was a harD Day and sent his condolences to the victims families. 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. 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. The day started with a deluge of 50 rockets fired into northern israel lebanons hezbollah. Then, maherjazi, a 39 year old jordanian Truck Driver, is said to have left his lorry at the allenby Bridge Border Crossing before Opening Fire on civilian border staff, killing three before being shot himself. Israels Prime Minister had this to say. Translation in recent days loathsome terrorists have murdered six other hostages in Cold Blood and three israeli police officers. The killers do not distinguish between us, they want to murder us all. The gunmen� s motives are unclear, but israels actions in gaza are widely criticised in jordan, which is home to many palestinian refugees. Mr netanyahu also called for unity, but thats something that is going to be hard to achieve in this deeply divided country. Although many agree with his repeated insistence that defeating hamas is the best way to get the hostages back from gaza, these people arent among them. Late on saturday, an estimated three quarters of A Million protesters poured onto the streets of israel, demanding that their government agrees a Ceasefire And Hostage release deal. But with no such agreement yet in sight, the unrest here looks likely to continue. Mike thomson, Bbc News, jerusalem. 4400 palestinians are stranded, needing support. In a further development in the region, aid agencies, the Qatar Red Crescent and the u. N. Agency for palestinians, unrwa, have signed a 4. 5 million Dollar Agreement with a qatari state development fund. Tamara Al Rifai is unrwas director. Explain to us what the situation is with these workers and patients. How did they end p and patients. How did they end up in the occupied West Bank . Since israel imposed a blockade on gaza 2007, the movement for people in gaza in and out of gaza has been extremely restricted, except for those who managed to obtain permits from israel to go and work in israel so they can work in the it hubs, they can work in restaurants, they can repair cars, they can have manyjobs. And it was estimated that around 18,000 gazans worked in israel before the 7th of october, and a few hundred were seeking medical treatment outside of the gaza strip. These are the ones that were stranded when the war in gaza started, and all crossings close. Of these gazans, Israel Expeued close. Of these gazans, israel expelled onto the West Bank around 4000, but more than 4000 delta tos, who neither are working in israel any more, nor can they return to their families in gaza. There are literally stranded in the West Bank. ~. , bank. While the other effectively bank. While the other effectively stranded. Bank. While the otherj effectively stranded in bank. While the other effectively stranded in the occupied West Bank, what does that mean for them . What kind of conditions to define themselves in . Do you have someone to love, even . Extremely anxious. Not only are they separated from their family when this devastating war its happening, and they can watch live on tv the destruction of the one neighbourhoods on the death of their own friends and family, but also, for those who were expeued but also, for those who were expelled from israel, and had the possibility to work there, they have also lost income. Theyre very uncertain and archers. Some of them may have found a place to stay with friends, maybe, orwith family, but in general they are just as uncertain as every other gazan are waiting for this war to end and be reunited with those they love, theirfamilies, if they have survived. Love, their families, if they have survived. Love, their families, if they have survived. We understand that agreement have survived. We understand that agreement has have survived. We understand that agreement has been that agreement has been reached, 4. 5 million agreement between a qatari fund, your agency, unrwa, and also the qatari red crescent. What does this mean for the people that you describe . The this mean for the people that you describe . You describe . The state of qatar took you describe . The state of qatar took note you describe . The state of qatar took note of you describe . The state of qatar took note of that qatar took note of that category of gazans you are not covered by funding to the humanitarian response in sir gaza, so the qatari government gave palestinian islamichhad, the agency i represent, which incidentally is the largest Aid Agency in gaza, qatar gave million specifically to be able to help these gazan s million specifically to be able to help these gazan 5 you are stranded for a few months. So it is replacement to the income for a few months until it is clearer, until the situation settles one way or another, hopefully for the better for all, for the hostages and for the people in gaza. And these people can either find work again or they can return to gaza. And it is important to note that carter has been extremely supportive to the humanitarian response in gaza, extremely supportive to unrwa, but so have been many arab countries. The uae, saudi arabia, jordan, kuwait, djibouti, algeria, iraq and many many individuals around the world. This is a moment of truth about what unrwa is. It is the largest humanitarian Aid Injury in gaza, and currently were even vaccinating children against polio. So, it is really an agency that is doing at all, from the shelters to the psychological support to Food Distribution to polio vaccination, and that is what qatar and many other countries have seen, they have seen as an action over the last 11 devastating months. Thank you so much for devastating months. Thank you so much for bringing devastating months. Thank you so much for bringing us so much for bringing us Up To date on that deal and the situation on the ground in gaza. Thank you. Sir Keir Starmer says hes prepared for the government to be unpopular, if thats the price to be paid, for an improved economy. In his first major Televison Interview since becoming Prime Minister, hes been defending cutting Winter Fuel payments for most pensioners in england and wales, a move mps will be voting on this week. Heres hannah miller. We are going to have to take the tough decisions and take them early. Things will get worse before they get better. So we have had to take tough decisions to stabilise the economy. It is already a familiar refrain, the government saying they are going to make choices that seem uncomfortable. Today, the Prime Minister said he is willing to be disliked. We are going to have to be unpopular. Tough decisions are tough decisions. Popular decisions arent tough, they are easy. The thing is the last government has run away from, that the government has traditionally run away from. I am convinced because they have run away from those decisions we havent got the change we need for the economy. Top of the list, targeting the Winter Fuel payment to only the poorest pensioners. This year around 10 Million will no longer receive the allowance, saving the treasury about 1. 4 billion. That is not easy and no Prime Minister wants to take a decision like this, but the Winter Fuel payments are now to be targeted. They were untargeted before and i think everybody thought that wasnt a particularly good system. 0n the street in huddersfield, the Decision Hasnt gone down well. Looking after the old people, the old folks, that should be top of the list. It is a bit shocking, really. Everybody pays and in you expect to get it back out again at The End of the day. I shall be thinking i twice about turning the heating up this winter. The government says it will be actively trying to make sure those still eligible for the payment are signed Up To receive it. When a vote takes place in parliament this coming week the government will almost certainly win but it could still tell us something about the depth of unhappiness among some Labour Mps if they choose to rebel. At their conference in brighton, union leaders have been expressing their concerns. I think there will be some pensioners this year who are not eligible for Pensioners Tax Credit but who are not well off by any stretch of the imagination who will worry about this decision. We dont want to go into the winter with pensioners afraid to put the heating on, so i hope the chancellor will use the budget to set out in the round what Support Support she can give. The State Pension will go up next april, a choice the government has already made, but as Sir Keir Starmer makes his case for decisions many want like he may find find there is a winter of discomfort ahead. This week sees the publication of a report into the state of the Health Service in england, and its expected to highlight severe problems for children and young people accessing care. Labour says the nhs is broken, blaming years of conservative rule. Heres hugh pym. From the start, the Labour Government was saying the nhs were broken and the problems cannot be fixed overnight. The medical Expert Lord Darzi was asked to carry out a rapid review of the state of the nhs in england. His full report is due out later in the week but now the first findings have been released, including that more than 100,000 infants have waited more than six hours in A E Departments Last year, 800,000 children and young people are on Waiting Lists for hospital treatment, with 175,000 waiting between six and 12 months, and 160,000 waiting more than a year for mental health support. Lord darzi says there was relatively a much bigger reduction in routine nhs operations through the pandemic than in other international health systems. The Prime Minister put the blame on the conservative government. He has been really clear that the nhs has been broken but not beaten, and the reason he identifies is because of money that was taken out of the nhs, particularly in the early years of the coalition, 2010 onwards. The lansley reforms, which were hopelessly misconceived, spent a lot of money and then had to be reversed, and then of Course Covid on top of all that which has put us in this awful position for the nhs. The conservatives denied they had broken the nhs. We know the pressures, the fact we are all living longer, is placing on the nhs. The fact we are living with more multiple long term conditions that require care. Labour promised in its first year to deliver 40,000 more operations and appointments each week, but the Nhs Confederation and representing employers says a lot more will be needed to hit the 18 Week Target for people to be seen or start treatment. Our analysis shows that the combination of the size of waiting is 7. 5 million people, and the growth in demand means that what the Secretary Of State has announced will only go a very small way to meeting his target. The Labour Government is facing the same underlying pressures on the nhs as the conservatives did. The question is, can they fix the problems and deliver change . Hugh pym, Bbc News. The venezuelan opposition leader, edmundo Gonz Lez, has arrived in spain where hes been granted political asylum. Mr Gonz Lez landed at a spanish military base, after leaving venezuela where he had taken refuge in the Spanish Embassy in caracas. He had challenged the venezuelan president , nicol s maduro, injuly� s elections, which the opposition claims it won. With me is . Our europe regional editor, danny aeberhard. Why spain . Basically sprint for political asylum. Straight out of the july election, Gonz Lez took refuge in the dutch embassy in caracas. He stayed there for more than a month, and this week he went to the Spanish Embassy. Spain has consistently said that he appeared to be the winner of that election. Venezuela had as an Arrest Warrant against him, and the venezuelan Vice President said that in The End, it decided to offer him safe passage to leave venezuela for the sake of political peace, was how they justified it. So, the venezuelan government of course rejects th
