Today's podcast:
Four Israeli hostages abducted by Hamas last October 7 in the terror attack on Israel were freed by IDF in a daytime assault on a refugee camp in central Gaza.
According to Hamas-run Gaza health ministry at least 274 Palestinians were killed in the military raid with the EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell calling it a "massacre." -
Also on Israel's northern border, according to our guest full-scale war may now be inevitable between the Israeli military and terror organization and Tehran-backed Hezbollah, based in Lebanon. Hezbollah is far stronger than Hamas and fought the Israeli military to standstill in 2006.

Conservative Party U.K. PM Rishi Sunak is firm that if he's elected to serve as prime minister following the July 4 British election that national service (in U.K. Military or civilian organizations) will be mandatory for all on reaching their18th birthday. Would this work in Canada and, as we asked last Sunday, should Pierre Poilievre introduce as part of his election campaign? Today the word from Britain.
Also: Sunak's commitment to deport refugee claimants who crossed the English Channel by boat through already chartered flights to Uganda was formally passed by the British government.
Guest: Katja Heuer. Anglo/German historian, professor, author: Beyond the Wall, 1949-1990.
(Just returned from observing local elections in Germany and the mood among the German electorate is decidedly unpleasant.)
Tales of a safe-supply child soldier. NP op ed by Adam Zivo. Interviewed teen who working for a drug gang resold 'safe supply' illicit drugs provided to addicts to teens in the Vancouver area.
Greg Sword, father of 14 year old daughter who died from hydromorphone overdose told us on air the drugs his daughter died of were obtained from such a re-selling of 'safe supply' drugs.
Guest: Adam Zivo
Gaming! A multi-billion-dollar industry which gamers engage in sometimes losing sleep and sacrificing relationships (or so it has been reported).
So what's involved, how much does it all cost and what is the real attraction of being a "gamer?" How much does it cost to acquire good gaming consoles (equipment) and the games themselves cost how much? And more.....
Purchase an absolutely top-of-the-line F1 home racing simulator setup and it will set you back $-thousands (many $-thousands).
3-times successively F1 world champion Max Verstappen practices for upcoming races on his personal gaming racing simulator.
Guest: Tony Eriksen. QR77 tech producer and expert gamer. On X/Twitter @tonysgamelounge. Tony's Game Lounge also on Spotify, YouTube and Twitch.TV
