Israel and Hamas have reportedly reached a deal that will see the release of several Hamas-held hostages in exchange for a pause in the fighting in Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners. Mike Armstrong explains the details of the tentative agreement.

As people in the Gaza Strip wait for any kind of relief from the suffering and bloodshed, Israel keeps bombing communities in northern and southern Gaza. As Redmond Shannon reports, Gaza's few functional hospitals are overwhelmed and some of the youngest patients face a very uncertain future.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has presented the federal government's fall economic statement, with a focus on boosting Canada's housing supply by spending another $16 million. David Akin explains when that money will actually be made available, how the feds are also targeting Airbnb operators and the reaction from the opposition.

By expanding its Apartment Construction Loan Program, the federal government says it hopes to build 101,000 new rental homes. But that is well short of what is needed to address Canada's housing crisis. Eric Sorensen explains how renters are paying the price while waiting for a long-term solution to restore affordability in Canada.

Israel and Hamas are seemingly on the verge of reaching a deal to release hostages and pause their fighting, and the U.S. has been a key player in negotiations. Jackson Proskow explains how America's involvement could set the stage for future talks to end the violent conflict in the Middle East.

Plus, a Quebec man has been charged after allegedly importing thousands of counterfeit toonies from China, in what's believed to be the largest bust of its kind in Canadian history. Touria Izri explains how a Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer caught on to the smuggling scheme, and why experts believe there could be millions more of these bogus coins in circulation.
