The Kremlin is dismissing renewed international efforts to end Russia’s war on Ukraine. Redmond Shannon looks at Russia’s latest bombardment across Ukraine – and what Russia is ruling out, as the hope of peace talks fades again.

Despite a growing chorus of international and domestic criticism, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he’s given the Israeli military the green light to fully take over Gaza City. Mike Armstrong reports on the fears this offensive will only deepen Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe, as well as how Netanyahu now claims he’s ready to negotiate the release of the hostages.

As crews fight wildfires in Atlantic Canada, questions are mounting about whether provincial governments were properly prepared to tackle the threat. Heidi Petracek speaks with affected residents about what they say officials should have done beforehand – and the changes firefighters are calling for.

Plus, Frank Caprio, who became known as the ‘nicest judge in the world’ because of the compassion and kindness he gave defendants in his courtroom, has died at age 88. Eric Sorensen looks at how Caprio’s approach to justice left a meaningful mark on so many people.

  1. The summit with Trump is just a joke he don't know what he's doing he makes everything sounds like he's the big set of War deal but he's a nothing Trump is an empty Barrel😢😢😢😢😢

  2. ALIKO, KEEP THESE FACTS IN YOUR BRAIN CONSTANTLY THAT DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE YORUBA IS NO LONGER PART OF THE COLONIAL ILLUSION SCHEME KNOWN AS NIGERIA.

    ALMIGHTY GOD DID RECLAIM OUR IDENTITY, RECLAIM OUR NATIONHOOD AND SOVEREIGNTY FOR US.

  3. And in my own personal opinion,And the much — important,the much — awaited and the much — needed Trump — Putin Summit Peace Initiative that took placed,occurred and happened in the American State of Alaska a few days ago proved to be meaningless and definitely in vain because the vicious,ruthless and mean as well as the very warmongering Communist Russian armed forces kept attacking the war ravaged and the war torn nation,state and country called Ukraine for more than three years already with Communist Russian – made military drones and all — sorts,all types and all kinds of missiles that kept maiming and killing innocent Ukrainians there.And also,And I think the deceitful and cunning Communist Russian regime and their Communist Russian armed forces wants to lure the all — powerful,the all — strategic and the all — dominant United States of America's Armed Forces ( And God Bless America ) " to become deeply involve militarily " in the all — unspeakable,the all — terrible and the all — horrible as well as the all — awful Ukraine — Communist Russia War.And that's why the Communist Russian regime and the Communist Russian armed forces are hesitant,reluctant and refused to end the war in the nation,state and country called Ukraine. Duty — Honor — Country

  4. Article 5. Let's get it over with. Time to put the fear of God in our adversaries. We could crush Russia in days. The only reason this thing is still going on is because someones getting paid.

  5. 12:48 ..wildfire preparedness… can Global do a better story on wildfire preparedness in Atlantic Canada? 

    Take, say, Newfoundland, my home province. How is wildfire preparedness defined? Is it defined by saying there is one water bomber on standby for every 10,000 hectares of forest? or every 50,000 hectares? If there are watch towers all over the province, how did the Newfoundland wildfires spread out of control so quickly?. Are drones used to aid in forest fire detection? If not, why not? Are ground crews on hold to fight fires or is there a call out for workers AFTER a forest fire starts? 

    There is something missing from all your stories about out of control forest fires. Please do a more thorough investigation. For example, a forest fire is detected at 7:00 am. What happens next? Give us a timeline. If a water bomber is sent early to that fire, how does it get out of control? I enjoy your newscasts and I look forward to a story on this issue. I am not blaming government forestry personnel. But it does seem like they are giving us a shoulder shrug when asked hard questions. If Newfoundland is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and if there are 100’s of fresh water lakes in the province, how in God’s name does a forest fire get out of control and homes get lost? Let’s get ready now for the forest fire season of 2026. Thanks for reading my rant.

  6. 18:54.. Frank Caprio… your story about Judge Caprio brought tears to my eyes. If only more judges would try defendants using the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law, the world would be a better place.

  7. Toyota already has made an automobile with a new safer ( solid-state battery), not platinum, that lets the vehicle travel 1000 miles. And there is also now a company that has made a self charging vehicle. We will miss that kind hearted judge.

  8. If U.S citizens want more crime they should come to Canada crime is flourishing here. lol. Joking aside Trump has not been in office for a year yet and people are saying crime has gone down. Maybe it has but not to the point were people can live in peace

  9. Drop tariffs on China now and negotiate a free trade agreement that includes building BYD cars in Canada. China is not our enemy. The US automakers are unreliable and may not survive Trumps stupid tariffs. BYD is the world’s biggest carmaker. Would you rather buy Chinese cars or build them here so we get the jobs at home.

  10. Yeah, well the far left powers in Canada are pretty delusional as well. They’re siding with terrorist not proud of my country right now. Terrible terrible terrible thing. Maybe I’ll look into moving to Israel. I like those guys those guys are pretty awesome.
