U.S. President Donald Trump claims Ukraine and Russia have agreed to an energy ceasefire, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Moscow has not stopped targeting their power grid. As Reggie Cecchini reports, backlash is also growing against Trump over his decision to buy Russian diesel. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly more prevalent in Canadian elections, but researchers warn the tech often gives voters false information. As David Akin reports, lawmakers are being urged to make AI chatbots subject to Canada's elections laws. Comedian and actor Russell Brand has made his first court appearance in London for the start of his rape and sexual assault trial. Heidi Petracek explains the allegations, the judge's warning to potential jurors and how the trial is unfolding at a time of heightened awareness around sexual violence. Plus, sitting down for a big Thanksgiving meal isn’t a given for a lot of people in Canada, which is why volunteers and charity organizations across the country work to ensure no one is left out. Seán O'Shea reports on the meals being given out at Toronto’s Good Shepherd Ministries and how the shelter has been hit with an additional challenge this year.
