Intro

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he's ready to sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war - challenging him to meet in-person in Turkey next week. Zelenskyy had demanded a 30-day ceasefire be agreed to first. But it now appears peace talks will go ahead without that guarantee.

Also: Top U.S. trade negotiators say talks with China this weekend have been positive and productive. While no specifics will be revealed until tomorrow, President Donald Trump is hailing it as a "total reset" in the trade relationship.

And: A group of Canadian millionaires says they want to pay more in taxes - arguing a higher tax burden is good for the country. But opponents warn that when the rich pay more, it could cost everyone.

Plus: Pope Leo XIV gives his first Sunday blessing, the unprecedented use of AI in courtrooms, declining numbers of migratory birds, and more.
