The World This Hour for 2025/08/10 at 13:00 EDT

Welcome to the dudes club, a brotherhood supporting men's health and wellness. Established in the Vancouver Downtown East Side in 2010, the dudes club is a community-based organization that focuses on indigenous men's health, many of whom are struggling with intergenerational trauma, addiction, poverty, homelessness, and chronic diseases. 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 health care 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. Jim.

Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to international media at a news conference saying his plan is the best plan to end the war, and calling reports of starvation in Gaza lies. Dominic Volitus reports. Benjamin Netanyahu said today's press conference was aimed at puncturing lies about the war in Gaza. He claimed there are two remaining

strongholds in the territory. Given Hamas's refusal to lay down its arms, Israel has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas. Netanyahu was speaking just days after his government approved the plan to expand military operations in Gaza, a plan that's been condemned by many countries, including Canada, which warn Israel risks violate. international law. Netanyahu said operations will move fairly quickly. Safe zones will be established first, and he outlined a three-step plan to increase aid into Gaza. But the Israeli PM flat out denied Gazans as starving, saying Hamas, the United Nations and the international media are all painting a false picture. Dominic Valaisus for CBC News, London.

Late yesterday, provincial officials decided they needed to declare a state of emergency on the Badaver Peninsula. To deal with the disaster, Mark Karkasol has the latest. The reason that the Badaverd Peninsula is the subject of a regional state of emergency is because it is basically the site of all of the major wildfires, burning in Newfoundland and Labrador right now. There are six fires on the peninsula, including that massive Kingston fire, which is still out of control, still continues to grow now to 4,000 hectares just within the span of a day. And a new evacuation order has been

issued by the province there as well. Burnt Point, Gull Island, Northern Bay joins the communities of Kingston, Perry Cove, Western Bay, Small Point Adams Cove, Blackhead, Broad Cove, Ochre Pit Cove, and Salmon Cove under evacuation orders. Everyone living in the communities must get out nearby Victoria is subject to an evacuation alert, meaning everyone living there can stay for now, but may have to leave at a moment's notice if provincial crews decide that will be the case.
