Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says those responsible for a deadly attack on an Iraeli military convoy would pay their price for their actions. Israel says 2 of its soldiers were killed and 7 injuried in the attack carried out by Hezbollah.

Whoever's behind today's attack will pay the full price. For some time, Iran via Hezbollah has been trying to establish an additional terrorist front against us from the Golan Heights. The Lebanese government and the Assad regiem share responsibility for the consequences of the attacks disseminating from their territories against the state of Israel. Israel responded by firing shells into southern Lebanon. The UN security council is convening now to discuss the violence.

The family of a Jordanian fighter pilot held hostage by IS group is intensifying its pressure on the government of Jordan to do what it can to save his life. In a video on Tuesday, IS threatened to kill the pilot and a Japanese jounalist Kenji Goto Jogo unless Jordan release an

Iraqi female jihadist. Jordan has offered to release her. But the uncle of the pilot has said he had received word from IS that they rejected the offer.

The financial markets in Greece have fallen sharply after the new left-wing prime minister Alexi Tsipras signals his government will stand by its anti-austerity pledges. The main stockmarket closed about 9% down while Greek banks lost more than a quarter of their value. Mr. Tsipras has said he will review the entire prioritization programme which is the condition of the international bailout. Andrew Walker reports.

Behind these falls lies the new Greek government's desire to end austerity policies and have its debts to the eurozone reduced. If he can not get an agreement with Europe, it's conceivable that Greece might end up leaving the Eurozone. The fact that it's possible means the country's banks could face customers pulling their money out and there are reports that some have done so already. That risk has hit the bank share prices very hard. One Piraeus bank fell nearly 30% and has in total lost almost half of its values since Sunday's election.

The South African city of Cape Town has approved plans to rename a major road after the last white president FW de Klerk. Opponents have accused Mr. de Klerk of having blood on his hands during apartheid. Grant Ferrett reports.

The council says the proposal to rename Table Bay Boulevard after Mr. de Klerk was put forward by eminent figures including archbishop Desmond Tutu to honour his role in the transition from apartheid. But local ANC represent chief was furious. The mayor Patricia de Lille accused him of behaving like fags. She said they spattered police who were called in to prevent disruption of proceedings. Council had eventually retreated to another room and voted to approve the rename of the road with ANC members locked outside.
