Video Description

Wildfire smoke is plunging air quality and putting a damper on holiday plans across large parts of Canada. Heather Yourex-West looks at the health risks from long-term exposure to smoke and the new fire evacuations, while Global News senior meteorologist Kristi Gordon looks at when Canadians will get some relief from the haze. Israel's aid blockade and military offensive in the Gaza Strip have made it extremely difficult to safely deliver food to malnourished Palestinians. Vincent McAviney reports on the Gaza's spiralling hunger crisis, the rallies in Israel for the remaining Hamas-held hostages to be freed, what hundreds of former Israeli security officials are urging and what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly planning. As Manitoba's government is being urged to change the province's child welfare system, workers say their concerns aren't being heard. As Melissa Ridgen explains, questions are growing about whether Manitoba Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine is blocking the foster parents from communicating with her.
