police say a vehicle was driven into a crowd outside the synagogue with the driver then exiting the vehicle with a knife The incident occurred on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. Here is British Prime Minister Kirstarmer. I'm already able to say that additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country, and we will do everything to keep our Jewish community safe. It's believed the suspected attacker was shot and killed by police. However, because the suspect may have been armed with an explosive device, official confirmation has yet to be released.

The Israeli military says the global Sumid flotilla is no longer sailing toward Gaza.

Israel says the flotilla members are being brought to shore where they will be deported.

The scene has been repeated all night. I am concerned with my safety. Canadian Zahirah Sumar. It's hard to know what they're going to do to us. I am going to try and stay calm as best as possible and not put up any resistance in any way or any form I will comply.

five million Canadians have now signed on to the National Dental Care Plan. Here's Health Minister Marjorie Michelle. The Canadian dental care plan is having a profound impact on the lives of Canadians, improving both health and affordability for eligible members. Just six months ago, the program was expanded to cover those aged 18 to 64. But while the latest data shows that uptake has been considerable, nearly half of those eligible have yet to visit a dental clinic. Supporters and opponents both are coming forward to voice their opinion on the Alberta government's proposal to develop a new pipeline to the BC coast.

It's a plan that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she's willing to spend $14 million on to get started. Paula DeHatchuk has more. And so we've got to do something to break the logjam. Alberta Premier Daniel Smith blames federal environmental policy for the fact that no private company has stepped up to build a new oil pipeline. We'll work with the federal government to clear away some of those barriers. Alex Porbe, executive chair of Cinovus Energy, says the province is making a smart move. This is truly a nation-building kind of a project. Others disagree. One of the policies Smith wants repealed is the so-called tanker ban.

BC Premier David Eby says getting rid of the policy could erode support for other types of major projects. The challenge that I have is that this proposal from the Alberta Premier for taxpayers to do this work comes at the expense of real private sector projects. Premier Danielle Smith pledged taxpayers won't be on the hook for the project itself and plans to submit a proposal to the major projects office next spring. Paula Duhajic, CBC News, Calgary. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
