It's been a day of chaos and confusion at the COP 29 climate summit in Azerbaijan - as the conference ran deep into overtime, but finally secured a deal. At the heart of the dispute was money, and how much rich countries owe to poor countries to help them adapt to climate change.

Also: The Biden Administration is reacting with fury at the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The outrage appears to be bi-partisan, as one Republican senator threatens dire economic consequences for countries that would enforce it -- including Canada.

And: They're squishy, stinky, and seemingly indestructible. Mysterious, white blobs have been washing up on Newfoundland's shores by the hundreds. One local scientists thinks he's figured out what they are...sort of.

Some provinces say they were blindsided by the federal plan for a GST holiday. That’s because those with harmonized sales taxes could be out millions of dollars.

And: The Canadian dollar is hovering at its lowest level in five years. The long, slow decline sped up after Donald Trump’s election win in the U.S.

Also: No deal…. yet. There is a draft agreement at the COP meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan but negotiations over who pays for climate adaptation – and how much – are ongoing.

Plus: Two men convicted in Minnesota for human smuggling, tourists poisoned in Laos, bike lanes in Ontario, and more.

The federal government says it will lift the GST on certain items for two months. The prime minister also says Canadians who earned less than $150,000 last year will get a $250 cheque. It could mean more sales. But will it do anything to help a crisis of affordability?

And: Matt Gaetz takes his name out of contention to be attorney general of the U.S. Faced with a storm over allegations he’d paid for sex with an underaged girl Gaetz, said Donald Trump, withdrew because he did not want to be a distraction.

Also: The International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for the prime minister of Israel and his former defence minister. The court says there are reasonable grounds to try Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant as being criminally responsible in the "war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts. There is also a warrant for Hamas military leader Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, although Israel has said he was killed in the summer. Canada, as a member of the ICC, would be obliged to arrest any of them if they arrived in the country.

Plus: COP29 agreement delayed, a report says Canadian scientists shouldn’t work with Chinese counterparts, Taylor Swift ticket fraud, and more.

And: Cleanup is underway in B.C. after the bomb cyclone weather phenomenon. Tens of thousands of people have no power, and many schools and services are closed. It’s unusual for wind of hurricane intensity to happen so far north.

Also: Canada has temporarily closed its embassy in Kyiv, as has the United States. Ottawa says the security situation is too dangerous. There are fears of escalation from Russia, after the U.S. allowed Ukraine to use long-range weapons, and anti-personnel landmines. But Ukraine is accusing Russia of spreading a fake warning about an imminent mass air attack.

Plus: The Canada Post strike delays provincial support cheques, Jimmy Lai testifies in Hong Kong, new clues on the origins of Covid-19, and more.

A mental health report card shows Canada lags behind other G7 nations in mental health spending, and 2.5 million Canadians aren’t getting the help they need.

And: After 1,000 days, a new phase of the war in Ukraine takes shape. Russia says Ukraine fired U.S.-supplied long-range missiles into its territory for the first time. Moscow also released its nuclear doctrine — lowering the threshold for when the country would use nuclear weapons.

Also: A shelter is opening in Calgary that’s only the second of its kind in Canada. It’s to protect victims of intimate partner violence. But it’s not for women — it’s for men and their children. Domestic abuse against men is on the rise, but it’s a crime that isn’t often exposed.

Plus: Trudeau at the G20, Canadians less supportive of immigration, COP day 9, Randy Boissonnault under pressure, and more.

A coalition of leftist parties is projected to win the most seats in France's snap election - a surprise turnaround from the predicted surge of the far-right National Rally party. Also: The calls are slowly growing louder - for Joe Biden to drop out of the U.S. presidential race. And so -- some Democrats are talking about the possibility of passing the torch. Plus: A Spanish Galleon ship that sank in Labrador in the 16th century is being recreated - with plans to set sail once again.

Former justice minister Irwin Cotler has confirmed a report saying he was a target for assassination – by suspected Iranian agents. He says the plot was foiled but he is still receiving 24/7 RCMP protection.
