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 CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Julianne Hazelwood. The newly announced ceasefire between India and Pakistan already appears to be in peril, with reports of several explosions heard in India-controlled Kashmir. Several countries were involved in getting the two countries to reach a ceasefire. Our South Asia correspondent Salima Shivji has the details.

A news anchor in Pakistan announces the ceasefire to her viewers. All military action has been halted on both sides and Pakistan's airspace has officially reopened. A big change after four days of heavy shelling along the line of control that divides contested Kashmir, as well as drone attacks, the most intense fighting between India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers in several decades. US President Donald Trump was the first to announce the ceasefire on social media saying it came after a long night of talks mediated by the United States. But Pakistan's foreign minister Ishak Dhar

says three dozen countries were involved in the diplomacy that led to the halt in hostilities with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the UK playing a big role in de-escalating tensions. Salima Shivji, CBC News, Mumbai. Contentious talks on another ceasefire continue this hour between Ukraine and Russia. The Kremlin is accusing European countries of making contradictory and confrontational statements after leaders threatened Moscow with massive sanctions if it didn't back a U.S. plan for a 30-day ceasefire.

Dominic Valletis reports. Arriving in Kiev this morning, the so-called Coalition of the Willing. After meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, the leaders of Britain, France, Germany and Poland agreed an unconditional 30-day ceasefire backed by US President Donald Trump should start on Monday. The leaders, which include Britain's Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, said Russia would face massive sanctions if it failed to comply. All of us here, together with the US, are calling Putin out.

If he's serious about peace, then he has a chance to show it now. Russia, which believes it has the advantage on the battlefield, has responded. The Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov today accused European countries of making contradictory and confrontational statements. Dominic Velaitis for CBC News, Riga, Latvia. Pope Leo has made his first meeting, Helda's first meeting, with the world's cardinals. The pontiff said he would continue the work of his predecessor.

Pope Francis had been criticized by conservatives over his approach to 2S LGBTQ plus issues and the leadership of women in the church. Leo also called on the Cardinals to renew commitments to reforms enacted as part of the second Vatican Council in the 1960s. They include outreach to other religions and conducting mass in local languages instead of Latin. Measles is continuing to spread across Canada. Eastern Ontario has reported its first two cases, that's among the nearly 200 new cases, across the province this week. While the number in Saskatchewan doubled

in a week to more than two dozen, Saskatoon mother Shruti Kodat would like to see her province follow Ontario's lead and make it mandatory for students to get vaccinated. I think we should educate people and basically spread the correct information. And if somebody has any questions, I think those questions should be answered. I think there's a lot of things which went around COVID. COVID vaccines are not well researched or something. I think people are just extrapolating. So I guess that's the reason why there is so much vaccine hesitancy. Ontario students can be suspended for failing to get vaccinated or not updating their records.

Exemptions are made for medical or religious reasons. But Saskatchewan officials say they don't see the need or the benefits, adding they're looking at where vaccination is mandatory to see how it affects the number of people deciding to get the shot. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
