This ascent isn't for everyone. You need grit to climb this high this often. You've got to be an underdog that always over-delivers. You've got to be 6,500 hospital staff, 1,000 doctors, all doing so much with so little. You've got to be Scarborough. Defined by our uphill battle and always striving towards new heights. And you can help us keep climbing.

Prime Minister Mark Carney speaking at the largest gathering of First Nations leaders in Canada, days after he signed a deal that could have a new oil pipeline built right through some of their territories. The Memorandum of Understanding with Alberta might also see Ottawa lift the ban on oil tanker traffic off the sensitive north coast of BC.

Carney has now promised to meet with First Nations there. There must be consultation consistent with free prior and informed consent. before a project can be designated in Canada's national interest. Carney's assurances come the same day the Assembly of First Nations demanded the Canada-Alberta pipeline deal be withdrawn. The Chief's emergency resolution also fully backs the BC Coastal First Nations opposing the plan and reaffirmed support for the current oil tanker ban. Marina von Stackleberg, CBC News.

Ottawa. Russia says it's no closer to a peace deal with Ukraine, after meeting with top U.S. negotiators, White House envoy, Steve Whitkoff, and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, traveled to Moscow. Katie Nicholson reports. So pleased to see you. The meeting started with pleasantries and ended after midnight. Whitkoff and Kushner were there to hash out a revised version of the 28-point plan with Putin

that had been floated two weeks ago. That plan was heavily criticized for echoing Russian talking points. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushikov said the conversation was constructive and meaningful, but that they are no closer to solving the crisis in Ukraine. Whitkoff and Kushner are expected to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who earlier Tuesday in Ireland sounded a note of hope about the current momentum of the U.S.-led peace negotiations. Because of the speed of negotiations and from American side they interest in it. U.S. President Donald Trump again expressed his desire for the nearly four-year-old war to end.

Not an easy situation. Let me tell you, what a mess. Katie Nicholson, CBC News, Washington. Edmonton Police will use artificial intelligence and facial recognition for a test project involving officer-worn body cameras. It will run until the end of the month. Acting superintendent, Kurt Martin, says the technology will be used to help officers navigate dangerous situations. This technology will also help police be made aware of individuals who have outstanding warrants for serious crimes such as murder, aggravated assault, and robbery.

Police will review the results before deciding on its future use. Canada's law enforcement agencies say they've made major progress in the fight against illegal drugs. A five-month-long crackdown led to thousands of arrests across the country. Selina Alders reports. Over 100 law enforcement and government agencies were involved with the National Fentanyl Sprint 2.0. RCMP says the coordinated crackdown resulted in the seizure of 386 kilograms of fentanyl,

along with other substances like methamphetamine, cocaine, and precursor chemicals. Canada's fentanyl czar Kevin Brosseau says it's a major win for the country's fight against the opioid crisis. Well, the operational results clearly speak for themselves. We should not overlook the fact that 50,000 Canadians have died since this crisis began.

The operation was coordinated by the Canadian Integrated Response to Organized Crime. RCMP Assistant Commissioner Bonnie Ferguson is co-chair. The Sprint focused on strategic disruption, targeting production labs, distribution networks, and financial enablers. Ferguson says over $13 million in cash was seized and more than 8,000 arrests were made. Selina Alders, CBC News, Halifax. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil. Herland.
