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.

There may be an end in sight for the two-year-old Gaza War. Negotiators for Israel and Hamas are heading to Cairo to hold indirect talks. To settle a series of demands being made to both sides by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Sasha Petrissick reports. Families of hostages and their supporters fail the center of Tel Aviv, eager for an imminent release. They urge U.S. President Donald Trump to keep the pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to let him sabotage the deal on the table. He's been accused of prolonging the war to please right-wing allies. This time, as Netanyahu has done,

no choice. Vowing coordination with Washington, Netanyahu says 20 living hostages and the bodies of the dead could be home within a week, but he warns the deal's not final. Hamas is insisting on a full Israeli withdrawal of forces before the release. Netanyahu says they will stay deep in Gaza. Trump has mapped out a partial withdrawal. He's also told, Israel to stop its air campaign. Though loud booms are still heard over Gaza City, and medics say at least 36 have been killed there in the past day. In central Gaza, many fear this is all a diplomatic game that won't end.

The Palestinian people want any solution to get us out of this hole, says Mohamed al-Jarusha. The death is not stopping. Negotiators and mediators are on their way to Cairo for talks on finalizing the deal. Trump says he won't tolerate a delay, but both sides have been blamed for many of them. Sasha Petrosik, CBC News, Jerusalem. In Ukraine. Air defense systems shoot down drones and missiles. over Lviviv. Ukrainian officials say Russia launched a huge attack overnight, sending more than 50 ballistic missiles and about 500 drones across several regions. At least five people were killed.

Vladimir Putin is issuing a warning to the U.S. about its involvement in Ukraine. In a video released today, the Russian president warns Washington that if it supplies Ukraine with long-range missiles, that will destroy the relationship with Moscow. Last month, Vice President J.D. Vance said the Trump administration was considering Keeves' request to send Tomahawk missiles. The Tomahawk missiles would give Ukraine the ability to strike deep into Russia. Police in the United Kingdom are set to get new powers to deal with repeat protests. The move comes a day after nearly 500 people were arrested for supporting Palestine action, a group that's been outlawed under anti-terror legislation. The CBC's

Julia Chapman, has more from London. Thank you. Pro-Palestinian protests are a weekly feature in London. But since campaign group Palestine action was banned, arrests have skyrocketed. Holding signs in support of the group is now a criminal offence and one that police are enforcing. 492 arrests were made in London yesterday. Angie Zelter was at the demonstration. I'm disgusted by the police, actually.

They shouldn't be arresting a non-violent protesters here. 1,500 officers were deployed to the protest, and the force says resources were stretched. The government now wants police to look at the cumulative effect of repeat protests. Home Secretary Shabon and Mahmoud will allow them to restrict the time and location of gatherings. And it is important, I think, that we make this change so that the right balance can be struck between allowing people the freedom to protest, but balancing that against the rights of the wide, a community to be able to go about their business free from intimidation and fear.

Protest organisers call the plans authoritarianism. They say officers should have focused on community policing yesterday in the wake of a fatal anti-Semitic attack. Two people were killed at a synagogue in Northern England. Jewish figures described the timing of the demonstrations as tone-deaf and insensitive. Julia Chapman, CBC News, London. Heavy rain pounds parts of Nepal. Flash floods have washed away bridges and blocked roads. At least 47 people are dead, many in landslides. Others were washed away and are now considered missing.

Rain is expected to continue in the Himalayan nation through Monday. Here at home, conservative leader Pierre Pollyev says his party will not be supporting a key piece of liberal legislation. Bill C2 is aimed at strengthening border security. Critics say it goes too far. Paul Yev voiced his concerns during an exclusive interview with CBC News. We don't think that law-abiding Canadians should lose their liberty to pay for the failures of the liberals on borders and immigration. Among the new powers for law enforcement,

police would be allowed to access someone's digital activity without a warrant. The Black Quebecois and the new Democrats have also expressed concerns about the bill. A mother in B.C. wants young people to know more more about the risks of wildfire smoke. It comes two years after her nine-year-old son, Carter Vye, died of a severe asthma attack triggered by bad air. Now Amber Vy and the BC Lung Foundation are pushing to have air quality lessons taught in school. More now from Laura Lynch, host of CBC Radio's What on Earth? Roland Latimer should be having a carefree childhood. Instead, he wakes up every day

to check the air quality in Gold River on Vancouver Island. When I knew it was smoky, I would try not to go outside as much. And what does that feel like when you have to stay indoors to stay safe? Feels like I'm trapped. Roland was saddened to learn about what happened to Carter Bai. Like Carter, Roland is nine and asthmatic. But thanks to Carter's mother, Amber and the BC Lung Foundation, he's learning how to protect himself.

Amber Vai recently traveled to Roland's school to teach him and others what to do. Though when you lose a kid, there's so many pieces of your heart that are broken and missing, but this project has helped to bring my heart back together, if that makes sense. The students and teachers learn how to make do-it-yourself air cleaners, and what happens when you breathe in smoky air? It's part of what's been named Carter's project in honor of Amber's son. Chris Lamb of the BC Lung Foundation wants government to get involved, but he's not waiting. If we can take action now, we should. There are lives that could be saved now,

and we're not waiting for someone else to do that. We're going to do that, even if it takes us one school at a time, one classroom at a time, one community at a time. That means not only teaching but supplying air quality monitors in rural areas to ensure everyone can be as safe as possible as wildfires grow in number and intensity due to climate change. Laura Lynch, CBC News, Vancouver. And Laura will have more on this story.

The renowned anthropologist died last week at the age of 91. Most of Goodall's groundbreaking research on chimpanzees took place in Tanzania, where her passing is being keenly felt. Isaac Lekando has more. Social media in Tanzania is filled with tributes to Dr. Jane Goodall, From everyday citizens to President Samia Siliu Hassan,

who called her a friend of Tanzania and a key figure in global chimpanzee conservation. The Jane Goodall Institute's website features a glowing tribute calling her a scientist, conservationist, and humanitarian. The Institute founded in 1977 is planning memorial events and inviting the public to share messages honoring her legacy. Though British, Dr. Goodall was seen as one of Tanzania's own. She arrived in 1960, later married a Tanzanian, and began her pioneering chimpanzee research in Gombe National Park

work that continues to inspire many. Henry Kazula, a climate strategist, is one of them. We still need the expertise, her philosophy, especially guidance, through various publications which can guide us, especially now at the time when the global is facing unprecedented time of climate impacts. Over the years, Dr. Goodall expanded her mission to include conservation and climate advocacy, earning honors like the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom. With many environmental challenges still looming,

conservationists here say her shoes will be hard to fill, but her dream of seeing humanity live in harmony with nature lives on. Isaac Lekando, CBC News, Darisselam.
