In tonight's top story: A former employee of Ontario Power Generation (OPG), which operates Ontario's nuclear plants, has been charged under the Security of Information Act for allegedly sharing "safeguarded information." Mercedes Stephenson lays out what the former staffer is believed to have done and the impact on Canada's security.

Canada's inflation rate fell to 2.9 per cent in January, according to Statistics Canada, back inside the central bank's target range. Anne Gaviola explains what's cheaper now, what's getting more expensive, how this could affect interest rates and the announcement from one of Canada's biggest grocers.

While the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has triggered sharp international criticism towards the Kremlin, it is unclear who can hold Russia accountable. Redmond Shannon reports on the "major" sanctions the U.S. is preparing, the reaction to them and how Navalny's mother is demanding the release of her son's body.

Antisemitic hate crimes in Canada rose by 182 per cent between 2015 and 2022, according to the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre. And incidents increased even more since Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. As Jeff Semple explains, Jewish groups say those hate crimes are going unchecked and are being fuelled by hate speech from within Canada.

The number of sextortion cases involving children is growing at an alarming rate, according to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. As Jayme Doll explains, safety experts are now sounding the alarm about Wizz, a popular new app with millions of users, which critics describe as "Tinder for kids."

Frustration is growing among farmers in multiple countries. Eric Sorensen explains why they say they cannot afford to farm anymore, their anger towards their respective governments; and how Canadian farmers also feel a disconnect with Ottawa.

Plus, hundreds of people have been arrested in Russia for publicly mourning the death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. It's almost like Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to erase any memory of Navalny. But as Dawna Friesen explains, his widow, Yulia Navalnaya, refuses to be silenced.
