For hours, Hamas said that Israel broke its end of the bargain and that aid wasn't getting into the northern areas of the Gaza Strip, delaying the hand-over of the next group of captives. Mike Armstrong has the details.

Humanitarian agencies said a convoy of aid trucks had been assembled at Gaza's southern border but that aid trucks were also moving into northern Gaza, the site of Israel's most intense bombardment since Oct. 7.

The vast majority were intercepted, but heavy damage was still seen in the Ukrainian capital. As Marney Blunt reports, there are fears this may be the start of an intensified winter campaign by Moscow.

But since then, digital nomadism went from niche to normal, rejecting and redefining the traditional idea of work life. For 'The New Reality,' Krista Hessey reports from Bansko to discover what’s bringing hundreds of remote workers, including Canadians, to this quaint mountainside town.
