Global National: Feb. 12, 2023 | US shoots down flying object over Lake Huron near Canadian border

In tonight's top story: The U.S. military has shot down yet another flying object: the fourth in eight days. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected the latest one in Canadian airspace yesterday, before losing track of it in Montana. The debris is now believed to be on the Canadian side of Lake Huron.

Just yesterday, the U.S. shot down a different flying object over Yukon. Crews are now on the ground in Canada's western Arctic, searching for the debris. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself is on his way to Yukon for a previously scheduled trip. David Akin has more.

Over in Turkey, tens of thousands of earthquake survivors are now living in makeshift tent cities. It's the only option after so many buildings were destroyed or damaged, and caring for so many people in the dead of winter is no small task. Jackson Proskow visited one camp in the city of Elbistan, where he found anger and despair.

Across the border in Syria, getting aid into the most affected regions of the country continues to be a major challenge. And now security concerns are making some situations unsafe for international aid workers. But as Redmond Shannon reports, bilateral relations in both Turkey and Syria are seeing partnerships overcome political differences.

In Toronto, Rahul Singh is the executive director of humanitarian aid organization GlobalMedic, and has had plenty of experience coordinating aid and relief to disasters like the ones in Turkey and Syria from overseas. Singh shares his perspective on the need for aid.

Higher interest rates have had a chilling effect on Canada's housing market — prices are down nearly 15 per cent since they peaked in early 2022. And that's leaving buyers who purchased pre-construction homes a couple of years ago in an uncomfortable position. Anne Gaviola has more on what homebuyers should keep in mind in an unpredictable market.

And finally, a Canadian climber is reaching remarkable heights and shattering records along the way. Jill Wheatley's goal is to summit 14 of the world's tallest mountains and she's nearly halfway there. But what's more significant is where she was forced to climb out of to get to the top. As Jayme Doll reports, Jill is achieving a vision after losing much of her own.
