How did the internet go from this? You could actually find what you were looking for right away, bound to this. I feel like I'm in hell. Spoiler alert, it was not an accident. I'm Cory Doctorow, host of Who Broke the Internet from CBC's Understood. In this four-part series, I'm going to tell you

why the internet sucks now, whose fault it is, and my plan to fix it. Find Who Broke the Internet on whatever terrible app you get your podcasts. From CDC News, the world is sour. I'm Gina Louise Phillips. After weeks of escalating violence in Kashmir that brought them to the brink of war, India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire. Here's India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Mishri. It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action.

It's a dramatic development considering both sides began a day attacking each other with missiles and drones. Reporter Nihal Punia is in New Delhi. She tells us the circumstances around the announcement of the ceasefire. Well, after four days of expanded hostilities, we're now hearing from the U.S. President Donald Trump. He posted on social media to say that after a long night of talks that were mediated by the United States, India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire. We've also heard from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He's also posted on social media to say that he's pleased to announce the governments of India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate

ceasefire and to start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site. But, you know, sources in the Indian government are telling me that stoppage of firing and military action between India and Pakistan was worked out directly between the two countries, suggesting that the U.S., despite Donald Trump's claims, was not involved. They're saying that the Pakistani side initiated a call this afternoon in India, local time after which discussions took place and quote, understanding was reached and that there's no decision to hold talks on any other issue. The renewed tension had 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 the country today meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a show of support. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister says they held a phone call with US President Donald Trump and discussed peace efforts. He described it as productive. So far, Moscow has refused to agree to the terms.

Fire trucks race towards a building engulfed in flames in Catalonia, Spain. The fire started overnight in the warehouse of a company that makes swimming pool cleaning products. Officials have blocked roads and canceled trains in the area and more than 150,000 people across the region have been told to remain indoors. The mayor of Newark, New Jersey is free after being arrested yesterday at an immigration detention center. Let the mayor go! Supporters of Ras Baraka chant as he is released by U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement Officers last night. He was among a group of people protesting the opening of a new 1,000-bed detention facility

for migrants when he was handcuffed and led away by officers. The Trump administration says Barraca was trespassing. Barraca says he did nothing wrong. His wife accused the Trump administration of targeting him as he is a Democrat and is running for New Jersey governor. The Toronto Blue Jays are facing off against the Seattle Mariners this weekend. This year many Canadians are choosing not to go because of Canada-U.S. tensions. Yasmine Rainaya has more. 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 or a Blue Jay sweatshirt on. Bob Donigan owns a seafood restaurant chain in Seattle. He and some 40 other business owners are trying to entice Canadians this weekend by accepting Canadian cash or giving a 30% discount to those who show Canadian ID.
