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.

It's like he's trying to date you all of the sudden. Yeah, and I do look like my mother. Love Me, available now wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. We begin with breaking news in the Middle East. The U.S. President says Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of his peace plan in Gaza, adding that that means all hostages will be released soon, though he didn't mention a timeline.

Donald Trump says Israel will also partially withdraw troops to an agreed-upon line. The proposal also calls for the immediate end. entry of more aid and an end to fighting. The Liberal government has introduced a new border security bill in Parliament. It mirrors an already tabled piece of legislation, but without some of the clauses

that had sparked concerns from opposition parties and civil liberties groups. Public safety minister, Gary and Andes Sangare, says the changes were made after months of consultations. We felt that essentially putting forward a second bill that

carves out the more contentious elements of Bill C2 will enable us to get swift or passage of the value. Those contentious elements allowed Canada post-open mail and law enforcement to access some digital data. Both the conservatives and the NDP refused to support the original bill. They said the so-called Strong Borders Act overstepped its stated aims and infringed on Canadians' freedoms. There's a new list out of Canada's 25 most wanted criminals, and police are using a new tactic to get people's attention. It's the latest initiative of what they call the BOLO program, which stands for,

be on the lookout. Jamie Strassan reports. Look at their faces. Be on the lookout for them. Behind Maxime Languaw, executive director of the Bolo program, 25 police officers, their face covered with images of Canada's 25 most wanted suspects. To make this as real as possible, the physical traits of each model behind me matches the fugitive that he or she is portraying. The Bolo program is offering 100.000.

of thousands of dollars for information that leads to the capture of 25 men and women alleged to have committed serious crimes across the country. Dwayne McDonald is a deputy commissioner of the BC RCMP. You won't be asked about the crime that they're wanted for. You won't be asked for a statement or to testify in court. We don't care if you know them. We don't care if you simply pass them on the street. Number one on the list, Brian Fuentes Grameo,

wanted for a murder that took place in the parking lot of a busy Toronto shopping mall last July. Since its inception, Bolo has assisted in dozens of arrests. Jamie Strachan, CBC News, Toronto. Authorities in California have arrested a 29-year-old man for allegedly starting one of the worst wildfires in the state's history. They say Jonathan Rinderknecht started a fire in the Los Angeles Pacific Palisades neighborhood on January 1st. That fire smoldered underground for days before sparking back to life.

The blaze went on to consume thousands of buildings and kill 12 people. And former FBI director James Comey accuses Donald Trump of unfairly targeting him in court. Comey has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that stem from his congressional testimony in 2020. His indictment last month sparked fierce political debate. Willie Lowry has the story. James Comey will get his day in court. The trial for the former FBI director will kick off on January 5th. On Wednesday, Comey pleaded not guilty to one charge of providing a false state,

and one charge of obstruction of a congressional proceeding. Comey was indicted shortly after President Donald Trump implored Attorney General Pam Bondi on social media to take action against his perceived political enemies. Trump has long been frustrated by Comey, who led the initial investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General, told Fox News, the Justice Department is merely following the law.

We completely got rid of the weaponization that took place over the past four years in this Department of Justice. And now we are applying the law equally to everybody. If convicted, Comey faces up to five years in prison. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. And that is the world this hour. For news any time, go to our website, cbcnews.a.
