On this episode: After days of delays, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted a watered-down resolution on Friday, calling for an immediate speed up of the flow of humanitarian aid deliveries to hungry and desperate civilians in Gaza. But, as Jackson Proskow reports, the resolution leaves out the original call for an "urgent suspension of hostilities" between Israel and Hamas.

There's been plenty of reaction to a Global News investigation into COVID-19 rapid tests procured by the Canadian government during the height of the pandemic. The kits in the lime-green box became ubiquitous all over the country, but after digging into this story for over a year, our journalists found evidence that the test's supplier, Toronto-based BTNX, gave Health Canada incomplete data about the test's accuracy. Heather Yourex-West has that story.

In September, Global News spoke with the parents of November Kelly, an Ontario Indigenous woman who died of a severe infection that they (along with a growing number of doctors) say should've been caught and treated. An Ontario MPP is now calling for an investigation into the young mother's death. Melissa Ridgen has been following this story for us.

Plus, a British teen, who resurfaced last week after going missing six years ago, is opening up about his mysterious life abroad. Alex Batty is now back in the U.K. after disappearing in Spain in 2017 while travelling with his mother and grandfather. Now 17, Batty said he initially lied to authorities about his return to society to protect his family, but he's now revealing some of the intricate details of his time away from home. Crystal Goomansingh reports.

And the Friday before Christmas is known to be the busiest travel day of the year for Canadians. Neetu Garcha reports that milder weather is helping ensure this year's holiday goes a little smoother than the chaos of last year's.
