donald trump says both israel and hamas have signed off on the first phase of his peace plan in gaza trump says that means all hostages will be released soon israeli president benjamin netanyahu is calling it a great day for israel the cbc's paul hunter has more details negotiators from both sides have been working towards this, photos seen of the negotiators hugging each other and, you know, all smiles. Then reporting seems to be that the hostages could be released by Saturday. We don't know how many Palestinian prisoners would be released or who it would be among them. The speculation all along is that they would include Hamas attackers from the October 7th attacks two years ago.

The ceasefire would seem to be a part of the first phase. How far will the Israelis pull back as being a point of contention? Has Hamas agreed to demilitarize? We don't know. Has Hamas agreed to give up any kind of administrative role in the Gaza Strip? We don't know. They talk about some other details still to be sorted. The release of hostages and the ceasefire seems to be the part that has been agreed upon at this point.

The CBC's Paul Hunter reporting from London. Hamas is commenting, saying the agreement includes the entry of aid, the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Hamas is also calling on Trump and guarantor states to ensure that Israel fully implements this ceasefire. French President Emmanuel Macron will name a new prime minister within 48 hours, according to his office. Current PM, Sebastian Le Corneux submitted his resignation on Monday. Le Corneux's successor will become the nation's sixth prime minister in less than two years. The country was plunged into political free fall as parties squabble over proposed budget cuts. The naming of a replacement will, at least for now, move France away from the likelihood of snap legislative elections.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is back from a trip to Washington and was back on Parliament Hill today. That's where he faced a barrage of questions from the opposition about his latest face-to-face meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and why it didn't yield a trade deal. Tom Perry reports. If Mark Carney's meeting with Donald Trump in the Oval Office was friendly, the Prime Minister's return to the House of Commons and question period was anything but. Well, Mr. Speaker, we'll go soft on him today because I know he's still recovering from surgery to have his elbows removed. Opposition leader Pierre Pauliev mocking Carney mercilessly over a meeting he says delivered nothing but which Carney says made progress. The President of the United States and myself had a meeting of minds yesterday with respect to the future of the steel sector, the aluminum sector, the energy sector.

But while negotiations continue, U.S. tariffs remain in place. The Prime Minister has told Canadians he will deliver results. The opposition keeps hammering him again and again with one question. When? Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. Sexual assault charges against Peter Nygaard have been stayed by a Manitoba judge. The charges relate to allegations stemming from an incident in Winnipeg in the 1990s. Nygaard's lawyer argued he was denied the right to a fair trial, and this morning, a judge agreed.

The former fashion mogul is already serving prison time after being found guilty of four counts of sexual assault in Ontario.
