Global National: Dec. 13

Countries at the COP28 conference have agreed to “transition away” from fossil fuels. The deal is billed as historic, but critics say it falls short of what needs to be done to avert the climate crisis. The details of the agreement, and the wide range of reactions. Israel’s war on Hamas has displaced nearly everybody in the Gaza Strip, where essential supplies and safe spaces are harder to find. How the weather is making displacement camps even more intolerable, and the growing uncertainty of the solution to Gaza’s dire humanitarian crisis. Canada’s decision to vote in favour of a United Nations resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has created new divisions within the federal Liberal caucus. Why some members are not worried. When Palestinians need to be transported to hospitals in Israel, they often get help from Israeli volunteers through the charity Road to Recovery. While the organization no longer operates in the Gaza Strip due to Israel’s war on Hamas, it is still helping Palestinians in the West Bank. Daniele Hamamdjian spoke with some Road to Recovery members to learn what drives them to keep going. Plus: reconciliation and revitalization. The unique game plan between 34 First Nations and the owners of the Winnipeg Jets to inject new life into that city’s downtown core.
