00:00The United States informs its allies that Iran has transferred ballistic missiles to

00:06Russia to use in the war in Ukraine.

00:11Three Israelis were killed after a man approached from the Jordanian side of a West Bank crossing,

00:16opening fire at security forces before being shot.

00:21Authorities in Kosovo closed two border crossings with Serbia after protesters form a blockade

00:26and stopped some motorists from passing through.

00:32Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis promises pension boosts and wage hikes in his economic

00:37plan for next year.

00:42The United States has reportedly informed its allies that Iran has transferred short-range

00:47ballistic missiles to Russia to use in the war in Ukraine.

00:51Two anonymous officials confirmed the U.S. intelligence findings but didn't say how many

00:56weapons had been delivered or when the transfers took place.

00:59The White House has warned Tehran for months against transferring ballistic missiles to

01:04Moscow.

01:05Iran has been providing Russia with its Shahed attack drone since autumn 2022.

01:11Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry has said its forces have liberated the village

01:16of Kalinova, 25 kilometers southeast of Pokrovsk.

01:20Russian troops have been advancing on the key logistics hub for months, prompting Ukraine

01:25to order the mandatory evacuation of children from the city last month.

01:30And on Saturday, residents in Kursk went to the polls to vote in local elections.

01:35The western Russian region is where Ukraine launched a lightning incursion on August 6,

01:40seizing several settlements with the aim of creating a buffer zone inside Russia.

01:51Three Israelis were shot and killed at the border crossing between the West Bank and

01:55Jordan in what appeared to be an attack linked to the 11-month-old war in Gaza.

02:02The Israeli military said the gunmen approached from the Jordanian side in a truck before

02:07opening fire at Israeli security forces who killed him in a subsequent shootout.

02:13Local authorities closed the crossing until further notice and Jordan is reportedly investigating

02:19the shooting.

02:20Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack and linked it to Israel's

02:25larger conflict with Iran and allied militant groups, including Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah

02:31in Lebanon.

02:33Jordan, which has a large Palestinian population, made peace with Israel in 1994, but has been

02:40deeply and publicly critical of its policies towards Palestinians.

02:51Authorities in Kosovo have closed two border crossings with Serbia after protesters on

02:55the Serbian side blocked the road and prevented motorists with Kosovo documents from passing

03:01through.

03:02Protesters started blockading the border crossing late on Friday.

03:06They said that was in protest against the closure of parallel administrations that ethnic

03:10Serbs in northern Kosovo had set up.

03:13Some demonstrators also demanded that the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo assume

03:18control over the north.

03:22Northern Kosovo, with its predominantly ethnic Serb population, has long been a flashpoint

03:27for tensions between Belgrade and Pristina.

03:30Earlier this year, Kosovo made the euro the only legal currency in the country, effectively

03:35outlawing use of the Serbian dinar.

03:37And the border blockade began just days after police in northern Kosovo closed five administration

03:43offices linked to the Belgrade government.

03:46Serbia doesn't recognize Kosovo's independence, proclaimed in 2008.

03:55Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has presented his economic agenda for the next

04:09sector wages, employment growth and green transition.

04:39Among the 45 measures announced are higher pensions for 2 million pensioners and an increase

04:50in the minimum wage from April.
