Hey, how's it going? Amazing. I just finished paying off all my debt with the help of the credit counseling society. Whoa, seriously? I could really use their help. It was easy. I called and spoke with a credit counselor right away. They asked me about my debt, salary, and regular expenses. Gave me a few options and helped me along the way.

The UN Security Council is meeting at this hour, discussing Israel's plans to intensify military action in Gaza. But just before the session got underway, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a news conference, saying his country must ensure Israel's security going forward. One, Hamas disarmed. Second, all hostages freed. Third, Gaza demilitarized. Fourth, Israel has overriding security control. And five, non-Israeli peaceful civilian administration. By that I mean

a civilian administration that doesn't educate its children for terror, doesn't pay terrorists, and doesn't launch terrorist attacks against Israel. Netanyahu's plan has been condemned by many countries, including Canada, on his way into the meeting, Solvina's ambassador Samuel Zabogar outlined the concerns. This decision by the Israeli government will do nothing to secure the return of the hostages and risk further endangering their lives. It will also worsen the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and risks further death and mass displacement of Palestinian civilians.

The countries also call on Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid. Hundreds of people walked towards an aid convoy as it entered Baitla Laiar, hoping to get some food for their families. Aid is still highly restricted in Gaza. Around 200 Palestinians have died of starvation so far, according to Gaza's health ministry. Questions are mounting about whether Ukraine will be invited to the upcoming Trump-Putin summit, The U.S. and Russian presidents are to meet in Alaska on Friday for talks on ending Putin's war with Ukraine. Initially, Zelensky was not invited. But now, the Trump administration and its officials are saying,

No final decision has been made. Mike Crawley has more. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's meeting on Friday will focus on Ukraine. But that country's president, Vladimir Zelensky, is sidelined from the summit, at least for now. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance in an interview, on Fox News opened the door just a crack. We're now trying to figure out, frankly, scheduling and things like that around when these three leaders could sit down and discuss an end to this conflict. Ukraine and its European allies fear a deal between Trump and Putin alone could reward

Russia with Ukrainian land, a fear heightened by this Trump comment. There'll be some swapping of territories. NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta says hashing out a final agreement is not the goal of Friday's summit. It is important to see how serious Putin is, and the only one who can do that is President Trump. Ruta is praising Trump for getting Putin to the table and says Ukraine and Europe will be involved in any peace deal. Mike Crowley, CBC News, Washington. Firefighters in Newfoundland and Labrador are up against more dry and windy conditions today. Three out-of-control wildfires are burning in the province. And yesterday, a regional state of emergency was issued for Bay-de-Vird Peninsula. Curtis Delaney has lived there his entire life.

I guess if there's a bright light in all this, no one was hurt. Everyone got out safely. If we all stick together, we'll get through it. It's not an easy time. I mean, I'm the same as everyone else. I'm looking for a place to put my head in the night. In New Brunswick and out-of-control fire, burning near Merrimishie almost doubled in size yesterday.

And Tinder dry conditions prompted the province to close Crown lands and ask everyone to stay to the woods and more hot, dry, windy weather is expected on Vancouver Island, where fire crews are still trying to bring the Wesley Ridge fire under control. And Quebec Provincial Police say they've arrested one of the most wanted men in Canada. Jonathan Wollett-Gendron was wanted by police in Saskatchewan on charges of murder, weapons offenses, and drug trafficking. He was arrested yesterday at Toronto Airport in Montreal

and will make a court appearance on Monday. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Wayne Tibido.
