A fragile ceasefire takes hold, but not for Lebanon

from As It Happens

Lebanon awoke to news of a ceasefire, and a surge of optimism -- which was shattered by deadly Israeli strikes. An aid worker in Beirut describes the aftermath. Despite the ongoing war of words between Iran and the U.S., Norway's Foreign Minister tells us the two-week ceasefire is the best possible result for the region and the world -- in the short term. It’s been decades since the body of his first victim was found, and a 62-year-old New York architect has finally confessed to being the Gilgo Beach serial killer -- pleading guilty to killing eight women. Biologists in Northern California believe their conservation efforts are making a difference for the California Condor -- because a pair of birds appear to be tending to the region's first egg in a century.When their school board threatens to cut several middle school music programs, a trio of high schoolers in B.C. step in to ensure nobody pulls the strings. New research finds that merely doing hours and hours of meditation every day for a week can completely rewire your brain and body. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio with namaste-ing power.
