A new season of Love Me is here. Real stories of real, complicated relationships. It's not even like a gender. I mean, it's wrapped up in gender, but it's just a really deep self-hate. I think I cried almost every day. I just stole myself on the floor. It's coming on really straight.

President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney are meeting at the White House this hour. Carney's second visit to Washington comes amid rising tensions over trade and uncertainty about the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement. It's up for a review next year.

Trump says everything is on the table. Well, we can renegotiate it and that would be good or we could just do different deals. We're allowed to do different deals if we were. but we might make deals that are better for the individual countries. Trump says Canada and the U.S. are in what he calls a natural business conflict, but spoke highly of Carney's negotiating skills. He says he'll treat Canada fairly and hint it.

The trade deal with Canada will be comprehensive. US tariffs are hitting the Canadian steel, aluminum, copper, auto, and soft with Leibundberg sectors, especially hard. Two of the limped leaders of the truck convoy that took over downtown Ottawa in the winter of 2022 have received conditional sentences.

This three-year pilot will expedite access to up to 10 high-priority cancer drugs each year. The program would make sure patients get access to those drugs before governments and pharmaceutical companies agree on how much it will cost. Bisaa Giawali is a cancer doctor at Queen's University. We are not bypassing the most crucial steps of Health Canada and CDA, and we are only bypassing the negotiation phase. Even as Ontario starts its fast-tracked program, Giyawali says it'll also be important to pressure the industry to lower prices on treatments

to make sure the government doesn't end up paying more at the end of the negotiations. Jennifer Yun, CBC News, Toronto. Two years have passed by. but we're still in the same long day. The families of hostages taken by Hamas in 2023 say they want their loved ones home now. On October 7th, the militant group killed 1,200 people at a music festival

and kidnapped around 250 others. Israel believes 48 hostages remain in Gaza. The country faces growing domestic and international pressure to end its military campaign there. Ricardo Piers, with the UN Children's Agency, says more than 60,000 Palestinian children have either been killed or injured. That's an average of one child either killed or maimed every 17 minutes. This is an unacceptable staggering figure that we still have to live with today.

Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel have entered their second day in Egypt. Hamas is only partially agreed to a U.S. proposed peace plan. It calls for the militant group to disarm and play no future role in governance. This year's recipients for the Nobel Prize in Physics have been announced in Stockholm.

The Nobel Committee says there is no advanced technology used today that does not rely on quantum mechanics.

That includes mobile phones. cameras and fiber optic cables. The Nobel announcements continue all week. The Peace Prize will be awarded Friday. Tropical storm Jerry has formed in the Atlantic Ocean.
