  • Russian strikes hit dozens of locations in the Ukrainian capital
    Many people have been killed in Russian airstrikes on Kyiv, including a six-year-old boy and his mother. Ukrainian officials say the attacks also brought down an apartment block. It happened despite Donald Trump imposing a new deadline on President Putin to agree to a ceasefire or face fresh US sanctions. Also: Washington's envoy, Steve Witkoff, is meeting the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to try to salvage ceasefire talks and help improve the dire conditions in Gaza, and what archaeologists are learning from tattoos found on a two-and-a-half-thousand year-old mummy.

  • Canada follows France and UK with plan to recognise Palestinian state
    The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada plans to recognise a Palestinian state in September, becoming the third G7 nation to make such an announcement in recent days. Mr Carney said such a move would depend on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority holding elections next year without Hamas. His remarks come a day after the UK announced it would recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire and other conditions and a week after France made a similar announcement. Israel has condemned the moves, calling them a reward for terrorism. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

  • UK threatens to recognise Palestinian state
    Britain's prime minister, Keir Starmer, says he'll recognise Palestinian statehood, unless Israel takes measures to end, what he called the appalling situation in Gaza. The dramatic shift in policy comes a week after a similar announcement by France. The British leader gave Israel until the UN general assembly in September to meet conditions, including taking steps towards a ceasefire. Israel's foreign ministry has condemned Britain's move - saying it constitutes an award for Hamas and harms efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.
