GEOFF BENNETT: We start the day's other headlines with the latest on the war in Ukraine.

The White House says first lady Melania Trump has brokered a localized cease-fire deal in Oleshky, the Ukrainian city captured by Russia early on in the war.

The cease-fire would allow for humanitarian aid and evacuations from the town, which Mrs.

Trump said is -- quote -- "on the brink of disaster."

Following today's announcement, officials on both sides welcomed the agreement.

President Trump told reporters today it was the first lady's initiative.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: What she wants to do is save children.

And that's her focus.

And both sides are cooperating with her, so doing a very good job.

GEOFF BENNETT: The cease-fire is set to begin next week.

Meantime, Romania's president has blamed Russia for a drone strike today that sank this cargo ship off its coast in the Black Sea, calling it a new example of Russian aggression beyond Ukraine.

At least one sailor was killed.

Three others were missing.

That's as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his military's access to Starlink satellite systems is still being interrupted, despite U.S.

assurances that it's running again at full speed.

VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY, Ukrainian President: This is a real problem for us because the Russians attack us almost every day.

GEOFF BENNETT: Zelenskyy also said negotiators from the U.S., Ukraine and Russia have agreed to hold technical level talks in Abu Dhabi in early November.

Those would not involve political leaders.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the army there to prepare for a full closure of the occupied West Bank after suspected gunmen shot and killed two Israeli soldiers.

Video from the Israeli army showed the firefight at a military checkpoint.

The two attackers, both Palestinian, were killed in the exchange of gunfire.

The army said it prevented the men from advancing towards civilians.

Following the shoot-out, Netanyahu blamed Hamas for the attack and vowed that Israel would retaliate.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Israeli Prime Minister (through translator): We will act, first of all, to demolish this place, to change it completely.

We will evacuate the residents.

We will go house by house.

We will also remove the weapons there, and all the terror infrastructure will be dealt with and destroyed.

GEOFF BENNETT: After his comments, construction equipment could be seen starting to demolish homes near the site of the shooting.

All of this comes just days before Israeli elections, when voters will decide whether to give Netanyahu another term in office.

In China's Tibet region, first responders are racing to rescue survivors after a magnitude-7 earthquake struck the remote city of Nagqu.

State media says at least 16 people are dead and more than 50 others were injured.

Security camera footage showed the moment the quake struck as people fled into the streets.

Hundreds of homes were destroyed, leaving many people there displaced.

Local officials said multiple rounds of search-and-rescue have been complicated by the region's high altitude, low temperatures, and concern about further building collapses from aftershocks.

Here at home, a police officer in Mississippi has resigned days after state authorities cleared him in the fatal shooting of a 1-year-old boy during a suspected shoplifting incident.

Newly released body camera footage shows officers approaching a car in a Walmart parking lot in June guns drawn.

As the vehicle moved forward, Sergeant Hunter Foster fired into it, killing 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, who was sitting on his mother's lap.

Mississippi's attorney general ruled this week that the shooting was justified because the vehicle had moved toward an officer.

But Wiley's family disputes that finding and is calling for a federal investigation.

Kohen would have celebrated his second birthday on November 1.

President Trump signed an order today removing 50 percent tariffs on some Canadian goods, including those in agriculture and forestry.

The move is a bid to help Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, who is facing a tough reelection race.

Many of Mr.

Trump's tariffs have put particular strain on businesses in Maine.

The changes become effective next Friday.

Meantime, stocks ended the week down as oil prices rose to their highest level since 2022.

The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled more than 600 points.

The Nasdaq had a more modest drop, and the S&P 500 slipped by half-a-percent.
