Yet Mr. Trudeau has taken a much more critical tone toward Israel in recent weeks, a stance that has caused divisions within the Liberal Party. Three Liberal Party lawmakers voted against the motion.

And from his left, Mr. Trudeau has been criticized by the New Democrats, whose votes he relies on to pass legislation, for not doing more to end Palestinian suffering in the enclave, where more than 30,000 people have been killed and food and medicine thrown away. in a critical supply shortage.

The Conservative Party condemned the motion, charging that Mr. Trudeau’s approach had abandoned Israel and supported terrorism.

“Hamas should focus on, and not on, the state of Israel,” Michael Chong, who speaks on behalf of the party’s foreign affairs, said during the debate.

Earlier in the day, Ms. Joly indicated that several provisions in what the New Democrats had described as “actions to promote peace in the Middle East” were unacceptable to the administration, saying that key policy issues could not be changed by a opposition motion.

One of the main sticking points was the New Democrats’ call for immediate recognition of a Palestinian state, a position that no Group of 7 country has taken.

Other changes negotiated during the day included adding a call to end the illegal trade of arms to Hamas to a section calling on the government to stop allowing arms shipments to Israel . Canada is not currently sending weapons to Israel, and Ms. Joly confirmed Monday that non-lethal military shipments had been suspended.

The motion, which describes Gaza as “currently the most dangerous place in the world to be a child,” also called on the government to immediately restore funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, a step Mr. Trudeau had already taken .

It also called on the government to support the prosecution of all crimes and violations of international law in the region; ensuring that Canadians trapped in Gaza can reach safety; and to impose sanctions on Israeli officials who incite genocide, while maintaining sanctions on Hamas leaders.

Hugh Bonneville and his wife Lulu Williams recently split after 25 years of marriage.

And the Downton Abbey star, 60, has already completed his wedding to Canadian actress Claire Rankin, 53.

The pair have reportedly gone on a string of dates and spent time at his London flat, as well as an evening at the luxurious Broadwick Soho Hotel.

According to The Sun, Hugh also took the actress to an event at Buckingham Palace where she met Queen Camilla, as well as dinner with his Downton co-stars.

So, who is his rumored new girlfriend Claire Rankin? Read on to find out.

Who is Claire Rankin?

Claire Rankin is a Canadian actress who grew up on Prince Edward Island.

The star started acting in Shakespeare plays in the ’90s, appearing in shows like Ally McBeal, Without A Trace and House.

Claire, who is also a professional dancer, is currently starring in the Canadian comedy series Son of a Critch.

Claire was previously married to actor Josh Randall, who appeared alongside Hugh in the American sitcom Courting Alex almost twenty years ago.

How did Hugh and Claire meet?

Hugh has been on a string of dates with Claire just months after his split from wife Lulu Williams.

He reportedly spent time with Claire at his London flat, as well as an evening at the luxurious Broadwick Soho Hotel.

According to The Sun, Hugh also took the actress to an event at Buckingham Palace where she met Queen Camilla, as well as dinner with his Downton co-stars.

Claire was previously married to actor Josh Randall, who appeared alongside Hugh in the American sitcom Courting Alex almost twenty years ago.

Claire shared photos from her recent trip to London to her Instagram account, but Hugh isn’t in them.

An onlooker who saw the pair walking through central London said: ‘Hugh and Claire looked so happy together, they couldn’t stop smiling.

“They seemed like any other couple and seemed to really enjoy each other’s company.”

Hugh recently gave a talk to the young winners of a BBC writing competition with Claire in the audience.

On Wednesday they are said to have enjoyed dinner with Hugh’s Downton co-star Michelle Dockery.

On Friday, Claire shared a photo she took at the airport as she prepared to return to Canada.

When did Hugh divorce his wife Lulu Williams?

A spokesperson for Hugh confirmed in September that he and his ex Lulu, who lived together in their West Sussex home for 25 years, were ending their marriage.

However, it seems that the divorce did not go smoothly. A source revealed: ‘It’s clear Lulu feels like 20 years of marriage counts for nothing.’

Lulu often accompanied her husband to premieres and movie sets and her recent absence led to rumors that the couple was having problems.

The actor, famous for his role as Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham, had never shied away from expressing his love for Lulu, having previously called her his ‘base’ and ‘anchor’ and praised his wife as the backbone of their household.

A source told The Sun: ‘Hugh has been away from home a lot this year filming. He lost some weight this summer, he looked neat, tanned and relaxed.’

The heartbreak came just five years after the couple renewed their vows at Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas.

The pair met as teenagers but reunited later in life and got together in their 30s, thanks in no small part to Hugh’s mother Patricia.

Hugh has said: ‘Lulu ran a marquee company… my mother called her to rent some chairs or something and said, ‘Do you remember Hugh?’

“It infuriated me that I had to give my mother all the credit for reintroducing us.”

The former couple later tied the knot in November 1998.

In previous interviews, Bonneville claimed he was ‘completely indebted’ to his wife for the way she supported him throughout his career while he cared for their son Felix, 20, who had his own on-screen success.

“Lulu’s priority was to be a foundation for Felix and me and I am completely indebted to her,” he said.

New details are emerging about the Canadian tourist accused of kidnapping and rape an 80 year old grandmother of Alzheimer's in a luxury resort in the Bahamas.

Gordon Wilkie, 61, of New Waterford, Nova Scotia, was arrested and charged with rape during the shocking January 28 incident at the Warwick Hotel Paradise Island Bahamas.

DailyMail.com can confirm that Wilkie is a faculty member at Novia Scotia Community College, where he specializes in renewable energy, and has been placed on leave following his arrest.

“It's really hard to find just the right words because in our minds it's just beyond horrific,” the victim's son, David Ahrens, told DailyMail.com in a telephone interview on Friday. “It's just the worst scenario.”

Meanwhile, Special Agent Tom Justice of US Homeland Security Investigations, who happened to be staying at the same hotel, has emerged as a hero in the case after joining the search for the kidnapped woman and restraining Wilkie until he could be arrested by the Bahamian police. .

The alleged attack follows a U.S. State Department travel warning of a spike in homicides in the Bahamas, and recent allegations from two Kentucky mothers who say they were raped by staff at the Pirate's Cove beach resort on Grand Bahama .

Wilkie is being held without bail in the Bahamas and his attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday morning.

Stacey Baillie, a spokesperson for Novia Scotia Community College, told DailyMail.com in a statement: “We are aware of a case currently before the courts in the Bahamas involving very serious criminal charges against an employee brings.'

Baillie declined to comment on individual employees, citing privacy laws.

“I can confirm that any employee facing serious criminal charges such as this will be placed on leave while the matter is before the courts and pending the results of an internal investigation,” she added.

Wilkie runs a solar energy installation company and was a renewable energy instructor at NSCC's Dartmouth campus, according to a 2021 report CBC News interview about theft of solar panels.

The victim in the case is also Canadian, but her family has no connection to the accused attacker other than staying at the same resort in the Bahamas during their vacation.

Ahrens, who shared his mother's photo publicly but asked not to be named, said the family is speaking out to demand “full justice” for her and to warn others of the dangers to vulnerable family members.

According to Ahrens, that one GoFundMe campaign To help cover his mother's medical and legal costs, she had traveled with his sister on a short vacation to the Bahamas when the attack occurred.

Ahrens said his sister kept a close eye on their mother throughout the trip, but the brazen kidnapping happened in a split second when they became separated in an elevator.

Ahrens said that on the last night of the trip, his sister and mother were chatting at happy hour with friends they met at the resort, including Officer Justice, who was in the Bahamas on temporary duty.

At that point, Wilkie, whom they had not met before, invited himself to join them.

“They thought it was strange, but you know, everyone is on vacation,” he said.

Ahrens said that when the group of friends got up to go to dinner, Wilkie also invited himself, which they also found 'a bit strange'.

After dinner, Ahrens said Wilkie got into the same elevator as his sister and mother, who were heading to their shared room to get ready for bed.

When the elevator reached their floor, the nurse got out, but when she turned to help her mother, the doors were already closing, he said.

He said that according to his sister, the doors seemed to close faster than normal, but noted that there was no camera in the elevator to see if the “close door” button had been pressed.

“Then there will be panic,” he said. 'They were looking for my mother and begged reception and security for help, which they didn't do for over half an hour.'

The Warwick Paradise Islands Bahamas did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.

Officer Justice and other guests immediately joined the search, walking the hotel hallways for about 40 minutes and shouting the victim's name.

When the Bahamian police finally arrived, Justice received a group text message from the resort friends participating in the search, and went to the hotel lobby to meet the police.

“He presses whatever floor he was on, and the elevator arrives and the doors open, and there's my mother with the attacker,” Ahrens said.

“He saw it, and immediately he saw my mother holding her underwear. So he reacted immediately and just went into the elevator and pinned him down,” he added.

Wilkie was arrested by Bahamian authorities and accused of raping the vulnerable woman in his hotel room.

Examinations at the hospital confirmed that the 80-year-old woman had been sexually assaulted, and Ahrens said she was able to provide a detailed statement despite her memory impairment.

“She made a statement about the incident that evening and it was very, very detailed,” he said.

Although Ahrens was not traveling with his mother, he immediately flew down when he heard of the attack and listened in horror as a police sergeant read him the statement his mother had made at the hospital.

'It's shockingly detailed and so disturbing. It's just terrible. No one should ever hear something like that. Period of time.'

Homeland Security Investigations' Charlotte field office released a statement confirming the incident and commending Agent Justice.

“HSI management is aware of the actions taken by SA Justice during his interim service and is proud of the manner in which he has gone above and beyond to protect the welfare of others,” the statement said.

“His actions are consistent with the highest standards of this agency.”

Wilkie first appeared in the case on February 2, but was not required to enter a plea, according to the court Nassau guard.

He was denied bail, but he can apply for bail in the High Court.

He is scheduled to appear on May 29 for the filing of a voluntary indictment, which will expedite the case to the Supreme Court for trial.

“I am pleased that this man was immediately taken into custody and I hope he will remain behind bars for as long as necessary,” Ahrens said. “This is a very dangerous person.”

Prince Harry and Meghan were given a Canadian send off on Friday night with Michael Bublé singing re-written lyrics to Frank Sinatra’s classic ‘My Way’, in a nod to the Duke.

The couple were attending a lavish gala dinner with 200 guests in Vancouver to wrap up their tour in preparation for the 2025 Winter Invictus Games. 

Shortly before a speech by the Duke, Bublé performed a rewritten version of Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ with nods to Prince Harry littered throughout.

It included the line: ‘You’ve earned each day, the right to say, I did it my way,’ and referred to Harry as a ‘visionary.’

The Canadian crooner also sung, ‘Our healing wishes for your dad’, in a touching gesture to King Charles III who was recently diagnosed with cancer. 

Harry, wearing a dark suit and a black tie, then spoke about the Invictus Games telling the audience that the athletes, who are comprised of injured and sick servicemen and women, embodied ‘courage, leadership, and fortitude.’

Meghan, 42, wore a one-shoulder olive green dress by Canadian designer Greta Constantine, a necklace by Logan Hollowell and Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Meghan and Harry had been expected to head home to Montecito, California following three days of Invictus Games events in Whistler and Vancouver but extended their trip by a night to enjoy a party with athletes and organizers.

Although not part of the official schedule and intended to be held away from the media, the gala – which is being held at the Vancouver Convention Centre – was signposted with black and gold Invictus signs.

Towards the end of the night, the crowd gave a standing ovation as Prince Harry took to the stage – who joked that he was going to start singing before welcoming Bublé to the stage.

Bublé said it was emotional for him to be there and that he loved that ‘we can show Harry and Meghan how beautiful this place is’. 

Other lyrics swapped by Bublé included: ‘Nothing tames, Invictus Games, you play them your way’, ‘One man, life-changing plan, he does all he can, he’s a visionary’.

In his speech, Prince Harry spoke of the Invictus Games and touched on how much he was looking forward to next years event.

In his speech, Prince Harry said: ‘These games have been so warmly welcomed by our Four Host First Nations, who have opened their arms and land to each of us, not only tonight but in the lead up to and during the Games next year. 

‘This year will mark ten years of the Invictus Games. The past decade has been a testament to the power of resilience and the unbreakable spirit you all exemplify. And boy have we had fun on the way!

‘The Invictus Games are not just a competition; they’re a way of life, a celebration of the human spirit. 

‘The games provide a platform for us to showcase your abilities, to inspire the world, and honor the sacrifices of those we have lost.

‘It is a reminder that we are not defined by our injuries, but by our strength, our commitment, and our ability to overcome adversity.

‘Invictus is not necessarily about winning a medal, but about the bonds that are built between nations; about the shared journey of recovery that competitors and their families are a part of. 

‘As we continue to prepare for next year, let us remember the words of William Ernest Henley, the poet whose work serves as the namesake for The Invictus Games. 

‘”I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.” Let us embrace these words, and let us continue to inspire each other, and the world, with courage, with leadership, and with fortitude.’

Roughly 200 people were in attendance, which began with the Duke and Duchess being led in by representatives from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation who sang and drummed in traditional regalia. 

Johnna Sparrow, an Indigenous advisor for the Games, and sister of Chief Wayne Sparrow of the Musqueam Indian Band, gifted the couple with woven blankets for each of their children from the Salish people.

Sparrow said the children could dance with the blankets or wrap themselves in them when their parents are away to remind them that ‘their parents are off doing good work.’ 

The party followed a morning spent at the Hillcrest Community Centre in downtown Vancouver where Harry took part in an adapted wheelchair curling event.

An enthusiastic Duke of Sussex showed up 90 minutes ahead of the official 11am start time to meet some of the athletes privately, while Meghan arrived at the very last moment.

Meghan was glamorously dressed for the occasion in a $1,250 Sentaler camel coat and sculptural gold earrings while Harry was casual in a sports jacket and jeans.

Bublé – a long-time supporter of the Games – also took to the ice for a spot of curling; telling the crowd: ‘Ladies and gentlemen of the press, prepare to see your hometown boy do well!’

The gala comes at the very end of the couple’s three-day visit to Canada to mark one year to go until the 2025 Invictus Games which will be held in Whistler, British Columbia.

Day two saw Harry whoop with delight as he tried out a skeleton bobsled – hitting a top speed of 61mph – watched by Meghan who filmed him on her iPhone.

The pair also met with Nigerian power lifter and ex-soldier Peacemaker Azuegbulam who also tried out the skeleton – despite being a double amputee who had never seen snow before.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, Peacemaker said he was thrilled to be reunited with the couple after being introduced to them at Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany, last year where he won a gold medal in the powerlifting.

Now preparing to take part in the skeleton competition at the 2025 Games, despite only making his debut on Thursday, Peacemaker said sport had helped him come to terms with the injuries he sustained during a firefight with Boko Haram terrorists in November 2020.

He said: ‘At first I felt ashamed because of my injuries but then I was introduced to the Games and began with playing volleyball. Now I feel good, now I feel recovered.

‘I am proud to be the first Invictus champion from Africa and I feel recharged. It totally changed my mindset.’

The appearance at Hillcrest Community Centre – a multi-sport complex run by the city of Vancouver – came a few hours after the couple appeared on Good Morning America, where Harry insisted ‘I love my family’ and said he ‘jumped on a plane’ to visit the King ‘as soon as I could’ after speaking on the phone about his cancer diagnosis.

The 39-year-old also revealed he was ‘grateful’ to have seen his father Charles III in person and hopes the diagnosis can have a ‘reunifying effect’ on the Royal Family.

Camera crews from ABC have been following the couple throughout their time in Canada and were seen on Thursday conducting an interview next to the track at the Whistler Sliding Centre.

On Wednesday, the pair made their appearance on the slopes of the Whistler Blackcomb Mountain flanked by GMA presenter Will Reeve – son of the late Superman actor Christopher.

The trip also came after the couple became embroiled in rows over the rebranding of their website to Sussex.com, Harry’s 30-minute meeting with his cancer-stricken father in London and criticism over the Sussexes’ heavy use of private jets.

Despite the swirl of controversy, the Duke and Duchess have appeared unaffected during their trip and were seen beaming in exclusive DailyMail.com photos beaming as they left a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner in Whistler on Wednesday night.

Earlier that day, the couple met First Nations youth ambassadors representing the native Canadian tribes on whose land the Games are taking place.

The duo privately toured the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Center in Whistler where they were shown around by Chief Nelson and Wilson Williams and met artists who created the new Invictus Games logo for the event.

In a statement, Harry and Meghan said: ‘The evening and presentation were extremely meaningful.

‘IG2025 and the couple could not be more proud to share the artists’ piece with the world. 

‘The couple recognizes the significance of the First Nation communities welcoming the Invictus Games onto their sacred land and are thankful for their warmth and hospitality.’

A couple from Canada have revealed how they swapped their stone home for a 20ft yurt – and claim it has changed their lives 'for the better'.

Joe and Leah Hinterberger were interviewed for the YouTube channel Exploring Alternatives and offered viewers a tour of their roundhouse that they share with their two cats Peeko and Lily.

In the short documentary, they reveal how they lived in their new home for five months and it cost them much less than a conventional home of just $18,000.

Leah told DailyMail.com that the biggest challenge they face is the lack of running water or indoor plumbing, so they have to be 'very conscious' of their water consumption.

Another downside is that their restroom is outside, and going out in the middle of the night in freezing temperatures “can be a challenge.”

In winter, the pipes of their outdoor shower also freeze, so they joined a local gym so they can wash in comfort.

However, Leah says these things are mild inconveniences and there are more pros to yurt living than cons.

She explained: 'On the other side of the coin, one of the things we love most about living in our yurt is how close you are to nature.

'Curious creatures regularly come by to see what we are doing.

'The rain is probably my favorite part, the sound of it dancing off the canvas is so soothing.

“It's a small space that can be cleaned up in such a short time, but it's very important to stay organized.”

Joe and Leah moved out of their physical home in June 2023, after starting new jobs in the area where they now live.

Joe works as a truck mechanic, while Leah works on the First Nation Reserve where their yurt is located.

Before moving into the circular building, they lived in a converted school bus.

However, Leah said the refurbished vehicle was “a little cramped, so we started looking for alternatives.”

Explaining how they ended up on a yurt, Leah said: 'After deciding to ditch the school bus, I started researching something that would fit our priorities, minimalist and eco-friendly options.

“Yurts popped up. I think I took it and ran with it at this point. Joe agreed and we contacted a company called Groovy Yurts to tour their facility.

'During the tour we fell in love with the 20ft natural wood “Super Ger” they had on display. We ordered our yurt that day and picked it up a few weeks later.

'The yurt is super comfortable for us because we love camping so much.

'The yurt resembles a very large tent, made of natural material and imported from Mongolia.'

In the Exploring Alternatives YouTube, Joe and Leah show off some of the rooms in the open-plan house, including a kitchen, a dining area, an open cupboard, a central wood-burning stove and their bed.

Leah points out that living in something round is 'definitely different' and finding suitable furniture can be difficult.

Joe built their kitchen from scratch so it would work in the space and installed his “luxury item” in the form of an espresso machine.

Outside there is a barbecue area where the couple does most of their cooking to keep the yurt from getting smelly. Other amenities include a wood store, the outhouse and a shower.

As for heating the yurt, the couple rely on a wood-burning stove, but when they go away at night they use an oil-filled radiator to keep their cats warm.

As for their living costs, Leah says they no longer pay a mortgage and their only expenses are hydropower, food supply, insurance, mobile phones, gym membership and fuel for their cars.

For others considering yurt life, she concludes: 'Yurt life is not for everyone and I think you really have to be open-minded and attuned to your own capabilities and limitations.

“We gave away most of our belongings and kept only the things we need to get by. Some would say this isn't a luxurious life, but you soon realize how little you need to make you truly happy.

'We found that releasing attachment to personal belongings led to a less stressful life because you don't have to worry about losing things, breaking things or taking them.

'We try to be kinder to our planet with steps that are achievable for us as a couple.

“Our goal for the future was to build a log cabin, but since we've been in the yurt, we don't really have a plan for when we'll leave our yurt, if ever.”
