In tonight’s top story: Israel has proposed a draft ceasefire plan, calling for an immediate six-week halt to the hostilities. The first phase involves a “partial” withdrawal of Israeli forces from areas of Gaza and the release of some hostages, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and humanitarian aid. There is, however, one big sticking point: Israel refuses to make any deals so long as Hamas is in power. David Baxter reports.

Boeing’s latest attempt to launch its Starliner spacecraft was scrubbed in the final minutes before liftoff on Saturday. It was not immediately clear why, but the spacecraft has never flown with astronauts on board, so the stakes are high. NASA has scheduled a backup launch for tomorrow. But as Jayme Doll reports, it’s just another setback in a long list of delays and disruptions.

In South Africa, reaction is pouring into what’s already been a historic election. For the first time since the end of apartheid, the nation’s leading party will be forced to form a coalition government. The African National Congress (ANC) has held a majority in every election going back to 1994, but now the party of Nelson Mandela will be forced to work with a rival to stay in power. Kyle Benning has more on what led to the change – and which parties could play kingmaker.

This week, the parent company of Temu dethroned Alibaba as China’s most valuable e-commerce firm.

Temu is currently facing two lawsuits in the U.S., as well as one in Canada. Anne Gaviola has more.

In April 2020, a lone gunman went on a deadly rampage in Nova Scotia, killing 22 people over the span of 13 hours. It became the worst mass shooting in modern Canadian history.

But now, as Heidi Petracek reports, the small community where the killer’s violence began is trying to redefine itself beyond the tragedy.

Israel Vs Hamas | Israel Says It’s Taken Control Of Key Area Of Gaza’s Border | News18 | G18V

Premiered May 30, 2024 #israelvshamas #cnnnews18 #news18
Israel’s military said Wednesday it seized control of a strategic corridor along Gaza’s border with Egypt to cut off smuggling tunnels as it tries to destroy the militant Hamas group in a war now in its eighth month.

Israel says the corridor is awash in tunnels that have funneled weapons and other goods for Hamas — despite a yearslong blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt.
