With dozens already killed in Gaza City this weekend, and an Israeli salt plowing through residential neighborhoods, even a hint of war ending, is well. But talk of a peace deal is swirling, a 21-point plan presented by U.S. President Donald Trump to Arab leaders last week and on the agenda when he meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

The search continues for six-year-old Darius McDougal. He was last seen a week ago walking with his family near Island Lake Provincial Park, south of Crowsnest Pass. After a week of scouring the rugged terrain, Gina Slaney with Alberta RCMP says the search has expanded. Our TSG officers are now on the ground doing a shoulder-to-shoulder search. They're specialists in looking for these small pieces of evidence that may help us.

Officials are asking the public to stay away from the area, but people with information are encouraged to visit the new information search center at the Crows Nest Sports Complex. If you think you know the area very well and you might know potential hiding places, this is an opportunity for you to go have a look at these maps and point out potential areas. RC&Ps say they have no plans to scale back the search, saying decisions are being made day-to-day. Stephanie Cram, CBC News, Edmonton.

According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, small businesses lost over a billion dollars during the last strike last year.

But a win today in the 162nd and final regular season game in Toronto would lock up the pennant for the Jays who hold the tiebreaker against the Yankees. The Jays franchise has won the pennant six times, clinching for them in Toronto. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fagg.
