Global National: Jan. 14

For 100 days the world has watched the deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas escalate to unprecedented heights. It’s the deadliest, most destructive, and longest conflict between the two bitter enemies. And on this 100th day of tragedy, Israel’s assault continues with new attacks on Gaza. For the families of the Israeli hostages, there is pain, anguish, and frustration as they await word on their loved ones. Plus, It’s already been days of frigid temperatures across this country but Canadians from coast to coast to coast remain in the grips of fierce winter weather. Nearly a year and a half after 11 people were killed in a series of stabbing attacks in Saskatchewan, a coroners inquest is set to begin this week in Melfort, Sask. And Denmark’s King Frederik X officially ascended to the throne Sunday as his mother’s 52-year rule came to a close.
