In tonight's top story: More Hamas-held hostages and Palestinian prisoners are being released as part of the deal between Israel and Hamas, which is now being extended. Eric Sorensen looks at how much longer the pause could last for, how Hamas might benefit from this extension and the pleas for a permanent truce.
With Israel and Hamas agreeing to a hostage-prisoner swap during a multi-day pause in their fighting, the families who have their loved ones back are finally breathing a sigh of relief. Mike Drolet has the stories of some of the emotional reunions.
A British-Palestinian surgeon has returned to London after working at several Gaza hospitals overwhelmed with injured patients. Crystal Goomansingh spoke with Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah about the patients he left behind, the horrors he saw and the measures he resorted to when he ran out of essential medical supplies.
Also, Jason J. Eaton, 48, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempted murder after he allegedly shot three college students of Palestinian descent in Burlington, Vt. It's not clear yet if this was a hate crime, but as Jackson Proskow reports, more hate incidents are being reported across the U.S.
In Canada, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has invoked the province's Sovereignty Act for the first time in the legislation's history, pushing back at the federal government's proposed clean electricity regulations. Heather Yourex-West explains how Smith intends to try to get around Ottawa's plans and how the federal government is reacting.
Plus, conservative MPs want the federal Liberals to release details of the contract for the NextStar electric vehicle battery plant being built in Windsor, Ont. Mackenzie Gray explains the political drama, the controversy surrounding hiring practices and the lack of clarity surrounding the $15-billion project.
