Community Sacrifice and Celebrating Philanthropy: Spotlight on The Weeknd

Gaza's health ministry says dozens of Palestinians have died from hunger in recent weeks, due to a lack of food aid.

Also: The U.S. President is taking a working vacation to Scotland this weekend. On Sunday, he will meet the head of the European Commission - as they try to inch closer to a trade deal between the U-S and the E-U.

And: Across Canada and the United States, when there is a crisis like a flood or a wildfire, public radio can be a lifeline.

You'll hear what those cuts could mean for the rural and Indigenous communities that rely on public radio stations. 

Plus: Insurance costs for the Jasper wildfire, Typhoon in the Philippines, Alberta's taxes on B.C. wine, and more.
