You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story, until now.

It would also end Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO. The proposal is being discussed on the sidelines of this weekend's G20 summit in Johannesburg. The CBC's Carina Roman is there. 11 countries, including the UK, France, Germany and Canada, as well as the European Commission and the European Council,

discussed how to secure a full ceasefire and meaningful peace negotiations, and they discussed how this leaked proposed peace deal by the U.S. contributes or not to that goal. Now, the leaders say the plan is a basis for talks to end Russia's war on Ukraine, but it needs, quote, additional work. There are great concerns here about the deal seeming very much aligned with what Russia wants. And Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, Anita Anand, who's here, says that's just one reason the plan needs more work. Let's go back to the core values that drive the foreign policy of our country vis-à-vis Ukraine,

and that foreign policy rests on the territorial integrity of Ukraine in particular, and the respecting of the geographical boundaries. Karina Roman, CBC News, Johannesburg. The attention now shifts to Geneva. This is where representatives of Ukraine, the U.S., and a number of European countries will meet tomorrow to discuss the peace plan.

The incident happened overnight on the south shore Broussard line. The CBC's Quabino-Duro reports from Broussard, Quebec. Police say that three men crossed over Highway 10 and hopped over a fence to get onto the rem tracks. When they reached the rem tracks, there was an oncoming train,

but the men continued to try and get to where they were going and were unfortunately hit by the train. A 19-year-old man was pronounced dead on scene. Another 19-year-old man is out of danger. and a 22-year-old man is still in hospital in the critical condition. Police say that they are investigating what exactly happened, and they are trying to talk to potential witnesses. Rem officials say that their stations are all fenced off for a reason. They say they don't know why the train was running at 3 a.m.,

but they say that this is not unheard of because the trains do sometimes go through maintenance or testing on off-hour times. Rem officials say that they are cooperating with investigators to try and figure out what exactly happened. Cubino Ruro, CBC News, Brassard.
