jordanian truck driver at a border crossing that links it to the occupied west bank. the venezuelan government says the opposition presidential candidate, edmundo gonzalez, has left the country to seek asylum in spain. prime minister keir starmer tells the bbc his new government is "going to have to be unpopular" if it wants to change the country. it's the final day of the paris paralympics — with three gold medals up for grabs before the closing ceremony later today. hello, i'm luxmy gopal. israel has closed all its land border crossings with jordan after three israeli civilians were killed in a shooting at the border crossing between jordan and the occupied west bank.

the attacker 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. been private security prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been speaking about it. the killers do not distinguish between us. they want to murder as all— between us. they want to murder as all till— between us. they want to murder as all till the last one, right and — as all till the last one, right and left, _ as all till the last one, right and left, secular and jewish. what — and left, secular and jewish. what pretends the elimination of our— what pretends the elimination of our people as in the past as the strength of the state of israel— the strength of the state of israel and the strength of the israel— israel and the strength of the israel defense forces.

it comes amid high regional tension. overnight, there were missile exchanges between israel and the lebanese militant group, hezbollah with a number of projectiles being fired— from both directions— across the border. the conflict continuing in gaza. it is all round and you mentioned earlier the constant exchange between lebanon's his brother ward and around 50 project files fired this morning by his brother mac ——

calling for unity will be problematic. we saw an estimated 750,000 people on the streets of many israeli cities and towns last night. around 500,000 in tel aviv alone calling for, demanding that a ceasefire deal is agreed to and accusing prime minister netanyahu of procrastinating. neta nyahu of procrastinating. even netanyahu of procrastinating. even though he has a large amount of support, they believe what he is saying, the only way the hostages can be brought on is by defeating hamas. the venezuelan government says the opposition presidential candidate,

edmundo gonzalez, who challenged president maduro in elections injuly, has left the country. mr gonzalez had been taking refuge in the spanish embassy in caracas, but has now left for spain. the spanish foreign minister says his country is offering mr gonzalez political asylum. we reiterate our demand that the vote tallies be demanded and they be verifiable and we will not recognise a victory if this is not been done. spain will always be there to promote dialogue and negotiations to reach a peaceful solution amongst venezuelan —ish —— politicians. let's speak to dr vanessa neumann. she is a former

venezuelan opposition we had anticipated that this that he would not give up their pleasure then shall palace. —— presidential. he needed to go because he would be surrounded, they were surrounding all of they were surrounding all of the embassies and taking refuge of... protecting the asylum seekers of all the opposition. they surrounded the argentina embassy which is now being under the protection and representation of brazil. the spanish embassy. when i was... i had a lot of friends who were taking refuge in the chilean embassy and they wait to find some way to get their hands... violating all international

law, to the leaders. he won the election and this is a war of attrition, basically. madeira will not show the numbers and instead shares —— like to quash every leader, taken to prison and we need a leader. the president has not released the dating —— voting data. many are not recognising him as the winner without that detailed voting data being released. do you think there is any eventuality in which that data may be reduced. i don't think you will really set. he will not release it because it cannot be forged. which is interesting about seeking ——

gonzalez seeking refuge in spain. sanchez, where spain's government is leftist, these were legitimate leftist governments who are getting the blowback from maduro who is not legitimately elected. it is starting to bite back on maduro, the failure to show the numbers. we maduro, the failure to show the numbers. ~ ., ., ~ numbers. we have got mr gonzales _ numbers. we have got mr gonzales arriving - numbers. we have got mr gonzales arriving in - numbers. we have got mr| gonzales arriving in madrid numbers. we have got mr - gonzales arriving in madrid for political asylum. what you think happens next, where does this leave everything?— this leave everything? really don't know _ this leave everything? really don't know. to _ this leave everything? really don't know. to be _ this leave everything? really don't know. to be honest, i don't know. to be honest, anybody who tries to make predictions about venezuela, is inevitably proven wrong. the british audience will understand this. the dreams of democracy. it is... i think that we are headed to a more

and more internal conflict. there are two different options, already 25% have fled the country. 40% of those have remained since maduro has refused to show the numbers are planning to flee as well. so that unleashes a huge exodus of which the world has not seen and an international exodus of the size even without war. 0n the size even without war. 0n the other hand, just we are facing a country that has even more than when i was an ambassador, is far, far more rejecting of maduro. so you have deeper ingrained in internal civil war potential conflict. and then a massive exodus. but i deign you not see maduro getting on a plane to cuba or anywhere else. i do not see. to turn over the reins. figs

see. to turn over the reins. as ou sa see. to turn over the reins. as you say in _ see. to turn over the reins. as you say in terms of what happens next and in the medium term, who knows? thank you very much for your time. let's go through the numbers, it is interesting the numbers. 722, surrey 721 patients are being reviewed as part of this concern of their contact with the surgeon who no longer works at great 0rmond street. of those 722, there have so far been 39 cases looked into where the following levels of harm were identified. 13 patients

have come to severe harm, we have come to severe harm, we have no details over what that hamas. 15 patients have come to no harm —— over what harm. the outcomes we are still waiting to hear. so quite shocking numbers if you like and quite clearly there are more patients to be looked into. the hospital says it is doing as it is told. it referred to itself to the royal college of surgeons which looked into the case and has made certain recommendations which the hospital says it is now going to put into place and take very seriously, but it has apologised to any of those affected and it has contacted patients and families who have been affected. so they know who they are but apologised and concerned for any distress caused.

sudan has rejected proposals by united nations experts for peacekeepers to be deployed to the country to protect civillians. on friday, un experts said an internationalforce was needed to protect civilians, and to deal with suspected war crimes. hundreds of sudanese families have been reported fleeing a suburb of the capital, khartoum, afterfighting intensified between the army and the paramilitary rapid support forces. more than ten million people have fled their homes since the war broke out in april last year. let's speak to the un population fund regional director laila baker, who isjoining me in port sudan. thank you for speaking to us. with sudan rejecting the un's proposal to deploy is forces to protect its population, what effect do you think it will have on civilian populations in sudan? . ~ have on civilian populations in sudan? ., ~' ,, have on civilian populations in sudan? ., ~ ., sudan? thank you for the question _ sudan? thank you for the question and _ sudan? thank you for the question and having - sudan? thank you for the question and having us i sudan? thank you for the | question and having us on sudan? thank you for the - question and having us on the programme. iam not question and having us on the programme. i am not a question and having us on the programme. iam not a political person, i work for the arm of

the un that protect the rights and promotes the rights of women and girls wherever they may be but particularly in conflicts like we have in sudan. and it pains me to see after a year and a brutal conflict many of them women and girls are facing the most dire consequences. i noted that you said that there are over 10 million internally displaced. imagine for a moment you were a young girl who has no longer who has no support or a pregnant woman trying to find safe delivery. for those women and girls those consequences are enormous and we are here to support anyone who works on the humanitarian portfolio to ensure they have access to those services.— ensure they have access to those services. the un has raised concerns _ those services. the un has raised concerns about - those services. the un has . raised concerns about possible war crimes. i understand you're not speaking or a political standpoint but how concerned are you about the potential nature of those war crimes and

how they may be affecting people they are?- how they may be affecting people they are? again, i don't have access — people they are? again, i don't have access to _ people they are? again, i don't have access to anything - people they are? again, i don't have access to anything legally| have access to anything legally to find as a war crime, that is not the work of the agency i work for. what i can tell you however is that there are incidences of things that have happened during war that are deplorable, where humanity is concerned. deprivation from food and water, loss of shelter, exploitation and abuse particularly where the exposure to sexual violence is concerned. for unfpa, and joel is twofold. 0ne concerned. for unfpa, and joel is twofold. one to ensure that where we have internally displaced people and those in need, particularly girls and women, to ensure we support all of our partners who can provide those vital services. getting the care that women need, making for sure if you are

exposed to sexual violence that you are notjudged and that you can get the counselling and medical care that you need. those are the things that we will focus on. i hope that all of the partners that we work with can build a new sudan, one in the future that brings a lot of hope. in the meantime we need to focus on those who are most at need right now and that is half of the's population, whether that is access to food and clean water or shelter or protection from all of the climate change elements like slides that we have been seeing as well as access to services or health care and protection from gender—based violence. —— like slides. from gender-based violence. -- like slides-— like slides. what needs to ha en like slides. what needs to happen to _ like slides. what needs to happen to enable - like slides. what needs to happen to enable you - like slides. what needs to happen to enable you to l like slides. what needs to l happen to enable you to do like slides. what needs to - happen to enable you to do that very challenging job in light of the fact that sudan has said no to this un proposal to deploy forces to protect civilians, given that they have rejected that what you think needs to happen now in order to

achieve that aim of yours? i think that first and foremost, access to the people who need this is a primary concern for as. just to give you a quick glimpse, 80% of the health facilities in some areas have been damaged particularly in khartoum in the western part of the country. with 80% of the health facilities then, very little water infrastructure, humanitarian agencies like unfpa need unconditional access to those populations. that means bringing in goods, supplies and people to relieve the situation on the ground. addressing the family needs, especially malnutrition in children and for pregnant women, will reduce greatly the situation that is immediate. then we hope that when there is greater access for humanitarian and greater care for those most in need, you can have a

conversation about peace and i never give up hope on that. unfpa never gives up hope on that. . ~ unfpa never gives up hope on that. ., ~ , ., ., , that. thank you for giving us the time _ that. thank you for giving us the time to _ that. thank you for giving us the time to speak _ that. thank you for giving us the time to speak to - that. thank you for giving us the time to speak to as - that. thank you for giving us| the time to speak to as about it. at least two civilians have been killed and children in the northern city of sumy. the city authorities say several homes and cars were damaged. ukraine's air defence units destroyed 15 of 23 attack drones and one guided air missile launched by russia overnight, according to the air force. the drones likely were intercepted by ukraine's electronic warfare systems. meanwhile, funeral services were held in poltava for victims of a recent russian attack in which at least

55 people were killed. more than 300 were also injured in the september 3rd missile strike, one of the deadliest since the beginning of the war. let's speak to mariia zolkina, reasearch fellow at london school of economics and political science. she has been telling me about this situation. to make the whole territory of ukraine and a livable and an inhabitable. all my relatives, i am ukrainian as well, it was one of the hardest. it must be really anxiety inducing for your family. i am sorry to hear that is what they are experiencing. you mention the gains on the battlefield. that is one aspect of it. if we turn to that now,

what is the situation on the eastern front where you have both ukraine and russia reporting some gains, some capturing and recapturing of territories. russia has been pushing intensively. their main military and goal them is a big city. more than 50,000 of the population before the russian invasion lived there. it is a logistical spot on the map for ukraine and it is a worrying one if russia will be re—occupying the city or the battle line will start. the more russia is advancing incrementally in the region, the more they are closer to the very centre of ukraine which is the only one i would say

the only industrial centre left because the rest of heavy industry was in the territory that is occupied by russia now and so this is what russia is doing. and for this region to capture the donetsk region entirely, they have almost given up defending where ukraine has organised the counter action. donald trump has expressed mock surprise after vladimir putin appeared to endorse his rival kamala harris for the us presidency. speaking at a rally in the key swing state of wisconsin, mr trump told supporters he didn't believe was serious, and insisted he was the toughest candidate in his approach to moscow. russia would never have happened if i were president

attacking ukraine would never have happened. i knew put in, i knew him well. you know he endorsed, i don't know if you saw the other day, he endorsed kamala harris. iwas saw the other day, he endorsed kamala harris. i was very offended by that. i wonder why he endorsed kamala harris. he is hs player. should i be upset about that? was it done with a smile, ron? ithink about that? was it done with a smile, ron? i think it was done maybe with a smile, i don't know. who the hell knows? his comments follow remarks by mr putin at the eastern economic forum in vladivostok, when he said kamala harris was russia's preferred choice for the next us president. translation: she has such an expressive and infectious — she has such an expressive and infectious laugh. it shows she is doing — infectious laugh. it shows she is doing well. i mean truck, he has impose _ is doing well. i mean truck, he has impose more restrictions and _ has impose more restrictions and sanctions on russia then any president has impose before

we've got some heavy downpours around. not everywhere is going to be seeing them, but if you do catch one could be thundery. perhaps some localised flooding. for scotland and northern ireland, some slightly quieter weather here, but for england and wales we've got low pressure. that's slow moving. it's bringing a band of cloud and rain sitting across northern england, wales down towards the south west, central, southern and eastern england, seeing sunny spells and scattered showers bubbling up through the day, some of them heavy and thundery. the most persistent and heavy rain, i think, around the far south east coast. scotland and northern ireland, cloudier than it has been but mostly dry. just a bit of drizzle in the far east, but temperatures still getting up to about 22—23 degrees across central and western scotland, most of us high teens or low 20s, moving through this evening and overnight, this band of cloud and rain slowly edges its way towards the east, lingering longest for eastern england. clearer skies for scotland, northern ireland, wales and the southwest

of england, and it will be cooler and fresher than recent nights. we could get into mid single figures for the more rural spots in the sheltered glens, for instance. so monday morning starting off dry for many of us. but we have got this cloud and drizzly showers, i think, just lingering for central and eastern england. sunny spells elsewhere. but later in the day, the next area of cloud and rain moves into the far northwest. it will be a bit fresher than it has been, certainly in the north, 1a to 18 degrees for most of us on monday. and then that cooling trend continues as we move through monday night into tuesday. for scotland and northern ireland overnight. into tuesday you can see the proximity of the isobars. quite a blustery feeling day. this band of cloud and rain will slowly ease as it heads across england and wales, followed by sunshine and showers. some of these blustery showers across the highest ground in scotland could even have a bit of a wintry flavour to them. gusts of wind, likely to be 30 to a0 mph for many of us, could be up to 50 mph in the far north west, so it's going to feel blustery, and when you add on that wind chill, it will feel quite a bit cooler than it has been. so 11 to 18 on the thermometer. feeling a bit cooler

in the breeze, and then into the middle of the week and things turn cooler still. you can see the blue colours indicating this colder air mass, which is going to start to work in from the north west.

this is bbc news. prime minister keir starmer told the bbc his new government is going to have to be unpopular, insisting he won't
