One says Trump spent time with an alleged victim. In another, Epstein says Trump, quote, knew about the girls. When that email was sent in 2019, Epstein had been facing federal charges of sex trafficking minors. These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong. This comes as House Democrats and four Republicans are expected to push for legislation to release the DOJ-Zepstein files. Among them, Democratic Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett. If you know that you are free and clear, then why not say, you know what, release the files? An issue that didn't fade away during the House's 54-day recess.

Katie Nicholson, CBC News, Washington. Ontario's Court of Appeal has ruled that legal online gaming and sports betting would remember lawful, even if users outside of Canada are allowed to participate. This decision opens the door to an expansion of online gambling in Ontario, despite concerns coming from other Canadian jurisdictions. Police in Ontario's York region have arrested a suspect in connection with a high-profile homicide. 46-year-old Alim Faruqi was shot and killed during a home invasion in Vaughn in August. Friends and politicians said it happened in front of his children.

Other suspects remain on the run. York Regional Police Chief Jim McSween says one of them is just 16 years old. We're seeing the perpetrators become increasingly younger, while the severity of these crimes continue to escalate. We need changes that prevent violent offenders from returning to the streets only to re-offend again. McSweene says the 26-year-old suspect arrested

was on four different forms of early release. Conservative leader Pierre Pahliav held his first news conference since he lost two of his MPs. Last week, one of his MPs announced his resignation, another crossed the floor, to join the liberals. As David Thurton reports, Pahliav attempted to change the channel. My plan is to continue to lead to be the only leader in the country that's fighting for an affordable Canada, where our people who work hard can afford a home and food, that is my agenda. Conservative leader, Pierre Paulyev, seemingly on the defensive, as his caucus shrinks. Albert MP, Matt Jenneru, announced he is resigning.

Nova Scotia MP, Chris Dantramar, crossed the floor to join the liberals. Pauliab during the news conference, lashed out at reporters for focusing on the departures rather than the liberal government's costly budget. Pauliab also attempted to use Dantraman's former words against him. Mr. Dantraman said that liberal food price inflation is inhumane. Do you believe that he was telling the truth when he said that? A reporter asked Pauliev if more of his MPs would be leaving the caucus. Pauliyev said no. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa.

And it turns out the Pope has a soft spot for musicals and Jimmy Stewart. Ahead of a meeting with a number of Hollywood actors coming up this weekend, Pope Leo shared his top movies. My four favorite films, it's a wonderful life, Jimmy Stewart from 1946. The Sound of Music with Julie Andrews. Ordinary People, the year was 1980. The stars were Donald Sutherland and Mary Taylor Moore. La Vite Bella, 1997, Roberto Benigni.

The Pope will meet with actors and directors like Kate Blanchett, Chris Pine, and Spike Lee. The goal is to, quote, deepen dialogue between the Vatican and the world of cinema.
