The aim is to reduce isolation and loneliness, and for the men to regain a sense of pride and purpose in their lives. As a global healthcare company, Novo Nordisk is dedicated to driving change for a healthy world. It's what we've been doing since 1923.

It also takes the strength and determination of the communities around us, whether it's through disease awareness, fighting stigmas and loneliness, education, or empowering people to become more active. Novo Nordisk is supporting local changemakers because it takes more than medicine to live a healthy life. Leave your armor at the door. Watch this paid content on CBC Gem.

His response to comments by the deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, who's calling Trump's demands to stop bombing Ukraine by next Friday, an ultimatum. Julia Chapman explains. Dmitri Medvedev is known for making inflammatory statements but he wields little power in Russia. Nevertheless Donald Trump said words can often lead to unintended consequences. A threat was made and we didn't think it was appropriate. Medvedev's comments followed an ultimatum issued by the U.S. president. He demanded that Russia end the war in Ukraine

by August 8th. Last month, he also threatened tariffs on the country's energy exports. Leslie Vingimori is president of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. You know, it's a sort of thing that when you send nuclear submarines, you normally do it under a veil of secrecy. The Kremlin hasn't commented on America's submarine deployment. But Friday, President Vladimir Putin suggested Trump's deadline wouldn't make him change course. The Russian leader said the army is continuing to advance.

Donald Trump described Russia's actions as disgusting. Julia Chapman, CBC News, London.
