India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire in their latest round of fighting. But both sides are accusing each other of violating that deal. Aaron Collins has more from Washington. The deal comes after several days of intensifying fighting.

U.S. involvement in this ceasefire deal a surprise to some. The administration had shown little inclination to get involved. The hostilities began after 26 Indian tourists were killed in Kashmir by terrorists last month. India blamed Pakistan for harbouring the militants that carried out the attack, an accusation that country denied. The escalating conflict perhaps spurring the United States to get involved. I think for the US itself, the region of South Asia is of considerable strategic importance and significance.

But just hours into the fragile truce, tensions are rising again. Missiles spotted in the night sky over Kashmir. Pakistan has denied breaking the ceasefire. The two countries were expected to meet again on Monday. But on a day where hostility was briefly replaced with hope, the two sides may already be back where they started.

And to deliver an ultimatum to Russia. Accept an unconditional 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine or face massive new sanctions.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney was on Saturday's call while the leaders of France, Germany, the UK and Poland attended the critical meeting in person. In March the US proposed a limited 30-day truce. Ukraine accepted but Moscow held out for terms more to its liking. The Kremlin says Russian leader Vladimir Putin is willing to talk. It'll move to CBC News, Toronto. In Geneva, negotiations between the US and China

to resolve a tariff dispute have ended for now. US President Donald Trump posted on social media that great progress was made. The two countries have been in a tit-for-tat tax off. The US charging a 145% levy on Chinese products, with Beijing responding with a 125% surcharge on American goods. While a major breakthrough isn't expected, there's hope the two sides can reduce those tariffs. Pope Leo has made his first foray into public. first foray into public. He ventured out of the Vatican to visit the shrine to the Virgin Mary. Leo also made a stop at St. Mary Major, known as Our Lady of Good Council, the burial place
