Israel's army says it is now fully prepared to launch a ground operation into Rafah, the only city in the Gaza Strip that Israel has not yet raided. As Mike Armstrong reports, with ongoing famine and increasing heat, just trying to survive in Gaza is a continuing struggle.

Demands for a ceasefire in Gaza continue to get louder at university campuses across the United States, where officials are scrambling to defuse tensions amid claims of antisemitism and an unsafe environment for students. Neetu Garcha reports from New York City and speaks with post-secondary students about why they support those demonstrations.

U.S. President Joe Biden has signed a bill which could see TikTok banned by January if its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, does not sell the social media company within nine months. Mackenzie Gray explains why American lawmakers pushed for this crackdown, how Canada could respond and why some of TikTok's users are not ready to log out of the app yet.

Wildfire season has already roared to life in parts of B.C. and Alberta, where an out-of-control blaze is burning just southwest of the town of Peace River. Kabi Moulitharan reports on the threat that firefighters say is being fueled by carelessness.

Several military horses broke loose during a routine training exercise in London, injuring four people and damaging vehicles in the city's downtown area. Redmond Shannon explains how it all unfolded, why the breakout was so unusual and the health of both the horses and those injured in the stampede.

Plus, a tourist hotspot in Alberta is hoping its new eco-friendly program will catch on across Canada, with the goal of curbing the town's use of single-use plastics. Heather Yourex-West explains how 'Banff Borrows' works and how its organizers hope it can create meaningful change to consumer habits.

    Peace be with you ❤️ Brothers and sisters! We in this world are brothers and sisters descended from the three sons of the prophet Noah. NOAH AND HIS SONS. Genesis 9:18-19. Genesis 10:32 And the LORD JESUS CHRIST Says: It is said that those who do not know how to forgive their brothers will not receive forgiveness from Almighty GOD." Matthew 6:15; 18:35 He told us to check the evidence of our faith and expand the evidence of our faith to see if the Holy Spirit of the LORD GOD is within us. If the Holy Spirit (Light) of faith that serves the LORD JESUS CHRIST does not dwell in us, we have been abandoned. 2 Corinthians 13:5 The Appointed time of GOD Almighty is drawing near. I hope and pray that you will realize the truth of the Word and dwell in the Love of the LORD before it is too late! May the Mercy, Grace and Everlasting Words of our LORD YESHUA be with you all. Amen ❤️

    I guess 3000 years of persecution wasn't enough to break the Jews of their hubris. Gotta be completely insane to continue making the same mistake that many times without learning anything.

    …just making sure if we see something we’re still supposed to say something! “Been that way for 30 years.” - U.S. Justice Department on the lack of Human Rights in Oklahoma County Jail, 2020 “Makes me feel human again after this place.” - Oklahoma City Art Museum review after life in the local shelters (20+ years in the making), 2024 “It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.” - Nelson Mandela 🥂🥂

    Saving babies only means no adults will be there to rebuild or look after all the babies.

    Horses weren't spooked. They just got tired of the same old mundane routine and decided it was time to go viral.
