Brendan Kearney is a retired U.S. colonel and former chief of staff of the U.S. Marines in Europe. We don't want to anger the Russians, but at the same time, Russia has to be told that they are causing problems in a way that we're not going to let them get away with. And when I say we, NATO. Both Russian and Ukrainian missiles have accidentally crossed into Poland since Russia began its war against Ukraine in 2022.

But this is the first time Poland responded by taking down a Russian drone. The Palestinian militant group Hamas confirms that some of its officials are dead after Israel launched a strike targeting Hamas leaders based in the Gulf State of Qatar.

Seen on the city's horizon, smoke billowing into the skies over Qatar's capital, Doha. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was clear.

Israel acted wholly independently, and we take full responsibility for this action. Hamas, which has used Doha as a base from which to negotiate a ceasefire in its war with Israel, said a number of its members were killed and wounded, but said a spokesman, the leadership of Hamas survived. But as the strike came inside Qatar, a sovereign state, long-time U.S. ally and facilitator in ceasefire negotiations with Khamas, a larger question is what it means for the whole region. Said a Qatari state TV presenter, Qatar won't deal lightly with this reckless Israeli behavior.

Some current and former U.S. military members testified in Washington Tuesday at a congressional hearing on UFOs. This isn't the first time Capitol Hill has looked at the issue, but on Tuesday, politicians were shown a video of a flying object that repelled a U.S. missile. Jeffrey Nucatelli is a U.S. Air Force veteran. We stand at a pivotal moment in history. The question is no longer whether these events are real, but whether we have the courage to face them. Protect the witnesses. Many stay silent out of fear for their careers, reputations, and the safety of their families. Protect them, and you will emboldened others to join this cause.

The U.S. Congress is now considering a bill to protect government whistleblowers who reveal classified information about UFOs. And that's the CBC News. Thank you.
