u.s president donald trump hints at what his next move will be to fulfill his promise to end the war in ukraine Well, it'd be hitting very hard on with sanctions. But before he does that, now he says he wants all NATO allies to agree to stop buying Russian oil. Michael Bosserkew is a global affairs analyst for the Atlantic Council and is based in Odessa. Mr. Trump is pointing the finger at Europeans for their purchasing of Russian oil. They don't have a choice right now. They have reduced their purchases. But that isn't the case for some NATO members.

Trump's demand isn't likely to go down smoothly for Turkey and Hungary, who are some of Russia's top buyers. Andrew Rassoulis is with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. The only way for the Coalition of the Willing, the West, NATO, Ukraine, to stop the Russian military juggernaut is to bring down the Russian economy to the point where it cannot sustain the Russian military advances. And it's a race.

Philip Lichanak, CBC News, Toronto. China has formally sent an invite to you as President Donald Trump for a summit in Beijing with President Xi. Zhang Ping. However, the Financial Times reports that the White House has yet to respond, as both countries remain far apart on trade issues and the flow of fentanyl.

Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative activist and close friend of President Donald Trump, was shot in the neck and killed at an event in Utah Valley University. After a days-long manhunt, a suspect in his killing has now been taken into custody. Police say Tyler Robinson acted alone and confessed to his family. Robinson is currently facing several charges, including aggravated murder.

Police say the public nature and alleged premeditation of the crime warranted the elevated charge. In Utah, that charge carries the death penalty.

Marina von Stalkleberg reports. On the coast of Vancouver Island, Canada's new Democratic Party came to do some soul-searches. There's lots to talk about before MPs return to Ottawa next week.

Don Davies is their interim leader. The NDP has to take a hard look at why our messages didn't resonate in the way that we wanted it to. After the party's worst election results in history, they went from 24 MPs down to just seven. And in recent months, infighting became public. The new Democrats are down to a skeleton staff. They have to pay off campaign debt. and they won't have a new leader until March. This was once NDP territory.

Now there's just one new Democrat MP left, Gorge Jans. This is a moment where Canadians need the New Democratic Party. They need us more than ever. And the seven of us are going to get everything we've got. Marina von Stackleberg, CBC News, Parksville, British Columbia. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Kumar. Thank you.
