In the top story tonight, ceasefire talks are set to begin in Cairo aimed at bringing an end to the Israel-Gaza conflict. This comes six months after Hamas launched its attack on Israel. Meanwhile, the World Food Programme has announced that it is now feeding one million Gazans every month. However, the officials have warned that the malnutrition rate among children is spreading at a record pace. David Akin reports.
In Canada, farmers are feeling the pinch of the federally imposed "carbon tax," which is designed to reduce the country's emissions. The tax, which puts a price on pollution, is expected to contribute to one-third of Canada's emissions reductions by 2030. However, farmers argue that it is hurting their industry by adding unnecessary strain and increasing fuel costs. Marney Blunt reports.
Meanwhile, the Avian Flu, commonly known as Bird Flu, initially thought to be a virus exclusive to birds, has now made a worrying leap to cows, infecting several herds in the U.S. This development has sparked fears of cross-species transmission, with concerns that the virus could potentially infect other mammals, including pigs, or even humans. American health officials are issuing new guidelines in response to the outbreak, as the disease is spreading among cattle. One farm worker has tested positive after presumably coming into contact with an infected animal. Meanwhile, Canadian health officials are closely monitoring the situation. Joel Senick has the details.
The opioid crisis in Canada is worsening as it enters its eighth year, with the number of opioid-related deaths showing little sign of decreasing despite promises and investments by both federal and provincial governments. Last week, three provinces came together in the hopes that a new approach will help combat the crisis. Heather Yourex-West reports as the crisis quietly continues to ravage the country.
Plus, a team of 23 scientists and explorers are embarking on an unprecedented journey, circumnavigating the globe and crisscrossing some of the most challenging terrain anywhere. This modern-day adventure began in New York and has taken them through Asia, circling the top of the planet and looping all the way back up again. Neetu Garcha reports that along the way, they are pushing the limits of human endurance and conducting groundbreaking scientific research.
