Hey, guys, I heard there's a party going on right here. Jason, Jason, there's a trade war, cost of living crisis, a tough federal budget coming. This isn't time to celebrate. But guys, it might be time for a House party, our weekly chat about Canadian politics. We are back for a short period now that Parliament's returned. I'm Catherine Cullen. I'm Daniel Cibaud. And I'm Jason Markasoff.

Join us political nerds on Wednesdays in the House feed wherever you get your podcasts. Party with nerds. Sounds amazing. from cbc news the world this hour i'm andrea bell mare donald trump says more progress has been made towards making his mid-east peace proposal a reality on social media the u.s president said Israel had agreed to a withdrawal line and that what Hamas agrees to that line the ceasefire will begin immediately on israeli television prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country was on the verge of a very significant achievement. He said IDF forces would be redeployed in a way where it still controls, quote, the depth of the

Gaza Strip. It's unclear if Hamas will agree to those terms. And meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza are praying the fighting will end. I wish this really comes to effect, this woman says. not like every other time. Our children are gone, our life is gone, our homes are gone, everything is gone. And in Tel Aviv,

thousands gathered for their weekly protest in support of the hostages, urging Netanya not to sabotage the deal when they are so close to getting the hostages released. In London, nearly 500 protesters were arrested at a rally in support of the banned Palestinian Action Group. Organizers were asked to cancel the demonstration after Thursday's attack on a synagogue. But Carolyn Galentor said it was too important to try to stop the war in

Gaza. So because I'm a Jew and because I'm the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, I feel compelled to come and do whatever I can to support people who are trying to stop this genocide. The demonstration is the latest in a series defying a government ruling, criminalizing the group Palestine action. At least one person has been killed in a Russian drone strike on a Ukrainian railway station. Ukraine's foreign ministers accusing Russia of deliberately targeting passenger trains. Dominic Volaitis reports. The authorities say two trains were hit at Shulska Station in Ukraine's northern Sumi region. One was a local commuter service, the other was headed to the capital Kiev. At least one person

was killed, 30 others, including children, were injured. Ukraine's rail chief, Alexander Patovsky, believes the attack was an attempt to make areas like Shotska near the Russian border unsafe for passenger traffic. I'm convinced that they're doing everything possible to make the areas near the front line and the border unfit for life, he says. Then people will be afraid to travel there. Russia has stepped up airstrikes on Ukraine's railways, hitting them almost every every day now for the last two months.

President Velodemir Zelensky described the latest attack as brutal. Dominic Velitis for CBC News, Bristol, England. A former progressive conservative MLA says attacks on politicians have gotten worse in Manitoba. Rochelle Squires once sat on the opposite side of the legislature from Nahany Fontaine and Bernadette Smith. There are the two NDP cabinet ministers

whose offices have been hit by fires and acts of vandalism in recent weeks. Squire's own constituency office was vandalized in 2016 when she was Manitoba's Labor Minister. I feel really, really disheartened, and my heart goes out to my former MLA colleagues, Bernadette Smith and Nahany Fontaine. It is very clear they are two strong women,

indigenous women, and they're being targeted. Squire says she thinks attacks on women in politics are getting worse. Well, the dome is open, the sun is shining and the Toronto Blue Jays are playing the New York Yankees in the postseason. It is the top of the seventh and the Jays lead the Yankees two to one.

And that is your world this hour.
