- Description
- Russia avoided striking Ukrainian energy targets for the first time since U.S. President Donald Trump announced a pause in attacks.
With no concrete details on how the proposed "energy ceasefire" will work, and no clear confirmation from Moscow, it remains unclear whether this marks a genuine shift.
Trump still seems to believe a deal between the two nations is possible, while he also still justifies Russia's actions.
Following a Russian strike on an educational institute in Western Ukraine that injured dozens, Trump said, "Ukraine hit many sites the day before... There's a lot of hatred there between the two of them."

- French investigators on Tuesday were hunting the hackers who seized control of cooling units at hundreds of supermarkets in a cyberattack that underlined the vulnerabilities of connected systems, with no group publicly claiming responsibility.
The cyberattack, which manually overrode the temperatures at fridges in supermarket groups including Carrefour, Monoprix, Intermarche and Cooperative U, appears to have been easy to pull off, three cyber experts told Reuters.
"According to the information we have, on Monday morning, some supermarkets found that their refrigerators and freezers had been completely tampered with, with settings altered remotely to raise temperatures to 50 C (122 F) or even higher," said Emma Pleut, Head of Cyber for France at WTW. Staff at some Paris supermarkets threw boxes full of perished meat and frozen goods into giant trash containers on Tuesday.

- Drones struck two ships in the Black Sea Tuesday, sinking one and prompting emergency rescue operations. Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Rumen Radev said one crew member from the sunken vessel was rescued, but provided few details. Rescuers evacuated all 15 crew members from the other ship.
Radev called the attacks “absolutely unacceptable” and sought NATO and European Union assistance to identify those responsible.
Although Bulgaria does not possess evidence to level an accusation against the party responsible, Radev said the “outcome works to the advantage of the Russian Federation,” and has summoned the Russian Ambassador for a meeting Tuesday.

- Two former premiers, who were on opposite ends of the political spectrum in Alberta, united Tuesday to support keeping the province from separating from Canada.
Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley were at the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce and were also joined by Doug Griffiths, former member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta and the three made a case for why Alberta should remain in Canada.
Kenney was premier under the United Conservative Party, defeating Notley’s NDP government in 2019.
"A country is a lot more than a balance sheet. It's a lot more than a set of fiscal transfers or economic arrangements or environmental policy. Canada, is a community of mutual obligations, previous generations and future generations. And whatever frustrations we may have, whatever imperfections our country may have, we still have one of the greatest countries in the world, one of the most desirable places to live and raise a family," Kenny said.

- An investigation is underway as a man died Monday after falling from a rollercoaster in Atlanta, Ga.
While riding Six Flags Over Goergia’s 200-foot tall ‘Goliath’ "hypercoaster" — which was introduced in 2006 — the victim came loose from his seat, and according to one witness, flew out of the ride, as it was descending, then hit the coaster car “head-first” again, as it ascended up a hill, before falling to his death.
Several other passengers were reportedly injured as the man tumbled over them. Park staff and rescue crews evacuated the remaining riders before Goliath was closed indefinitely.
Meanwhile, Six Flags has temporarily closed nine rollercoasters across six of its amusement parks – including both Behemoth and Leviathan at Canada’s Wonderland – adding that attractions similar to Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia were temporarily closed, too, out of an abundance of caution.

In the first half of 2026, fires burned more than 200,000 hectares in Indonesia and non-governmental organizations estimate fires have burned at least 600,000 more hectares since.
Orangutans are critically endangered species found in the wild only on the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra, with Indonesia home to all three recognized species, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Populations have declined due to deforestation, wildfires and poaching.

- During his weekly Sunday service at St. Peter’s Square, Pope Leo XIV revealed that doctors detected a small growth on his lung during a routine checkup.
“Doctors found a localized nodule in my lung," the pontiff said. "It was detected at a very early stage and is well contained. The doctors believe it is advisable to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it."
Though the Vatican did not specify exactly when the Pope’s surgery will take place – just in the coming days – a Reuters correspondent suggested it could be Monday or Tuesday, with an anticipated week of recovery before a planned trip to South America in November.
Pilgrims visiting Vatican City Sunday sent the Catholic Church head their thoughts and prayers ahead of his operation, also expressing surprise given his age and how recently he was appointed.

- An attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport killed at least 12 people and wounded more than 300 on Saturday, Saudi authorities said.
A Saudi-led coalition blamed Yemen’s Houthis who had not claimed responsibility but warned of further strikes, while U.S. President Donald Trump called the attack “a terrible thing."
Flight cancellations stranded Saudi-bound passengers in Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital, including Bangladeshi workers travelling for jobs.
“It’s a challenge because I have a family to support and living expenses to cover,” said passenger Mohammad Rubel.

- Description
- A Turkey dinner for Thanksgiving is going to cost Canadians a lot more this year, as they deal with rising inflation from the trade war and surging energy prices from U.S. President Donald Trump’s war on Iran.
This year, the cost of cooking a turkey dinner for four increased 10 per cent from $32.48 in 2025 to $35.72 in 2026, according to the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.
The West Block’s Jeff Semple sits down with David-Alexandre Brassard, chief economist at CPA Canada, to discuss the rising costs Canadians are facing – and whether there’s any relief in sight.

- Many Canadians have tried to avoid doing business with the United States amid heightened trade tensions, but it hasn’t been easy.
Decoupling presents a major problem – after heavily relying on the U.S., how do you replace it?
It’s a challenge that’s acutely felt in the AI field, where the U.S. is home to most of the requisite components.
A Canadian defence company is trying to bridge that gap after choosing not to work with the U.S. government.

Atlantic Canada’s defence industry is focused on building momentum in the wake of Ottawa’s pledge to increase defence spending.
“We have 40 per cent of Canada's defense assets here, so we've got Canadian forces here; land, sea and air.

Protesters are demanding the country’s elections chief resign over the government’s controversial overhaul of the voter roll.
Thousands of police and paramilitary personnel were deployed across New Delhi on Saturday, while mobile services were suspended and dozens of metro stations were shut down as authorities sought to prevent the protests.
The opposition claims the voter registration changes would disenfranchise millions and disproportionately benefit President Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

- “Weak” is the word Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used Friday to describe U.S. President Donald Trump’s move to ease sanctions on Russia after a phone call deal with President Vladimir Putin, which has supposedly secured “massive amounts of oil” for Americans.
“All that money goes toward the war against Ukraine.... This is a weak decision by strong partners,” Zelenskyy said during a public WhatsApp call Friday.
Asked about Zelesnkyy’s criticism of him later in the day, Trump avoided a direct answer and told reporters: “We are a strong partner… and this is diesel, which is what we need... Oil prices are already dropping like a rock, so we're very happy to get it.”
Citizens in Kyiv, too, cast doubt on the deal amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, suggesting Moscow would not deliver on its promises of large quantities of diesel.
