From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Gina Louise Phillips. We begin with breaking news this hour. After firing missiles at each other again overnight, India and Pakistan have now agreed to a ceasefire, an apparent end at least for now to the most serious military confrontation between the two countries in decades.

This is the India Ministry. It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land and in the air and sea with effect from 1700 hours Indian Standard Time today. Instructions have been given on both sides to give effect to this understanding. The Director General of Military Operations will talk again on the 12th of May at 1200 hours. The renewed tension started with last month's deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 tourists. European leaders say they are ready for a 30-day ceasefire in the war in Ukraine, and

they want it to start on Monday. The leaders of the UK, France, Poland and Germany are in Ukraine meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a show of support. Anna Cunningham has more. Arriving together in Kiev where they were greeted by President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenskaya is symbolic. A visible response to the welcome of Russia's President Vladimir Putin gave Friday in Moscow's Red Square parade. There, he greeted the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, as well as leaders from Brazil, Venezuela,

Serbia and Slovakia. We are clear the bloodshed must end, the European leaders say in a joint statement, adding Russia must stop its illegal invasion. This Kiev summit is all about tightening pressure on Russia to agree to a 30-day ceasefire, something Moscow rejected in March. President Macron telling French media they will seek direct talks if a truce is agreed. On Friday, the UK announced further sanctions on Russia, upping the economic pressure. Other allied countries are warning the same. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London.

We did want them to know that our camera work wasn't just for show. John Raven is the mayor of Logan. The city in the Australian state of Queensland has for the past year been using artificial intelligence to monitor its network of security cameras. Once you've got someone the police are interested in, they can tag that person in the system and can actually monitor their movements across the city. In Melbourne, the police already use AI to sit his mayor Nick Rees says a review of its security systems will establish if the technology could

deter street brawls and vandalism. A lot of major sporting grounds around the country, they're now using AI technology to help detect troublemakers and deter crime and also solve crimes as well.

Privacy campaigner Lizzie O'Shea says Australian regulators are worried that AI and an expansion of surveillance cameras could erode the rights of individuals. Phil Massa for CBC News, Sydney.

A nice sunny afternoon here in Seattle. The Jays Mariners annual showdown has long been a summer staple for Canadian baseball fans and is normally a sold-out event. Yet hundreds of tickets were still on sale Friday. There are hundreds of people walking the waterfront. Not a single one of them has a Blue Jay cap
