More than a week after Calgary’s critical water main break, which sparked pleas for people to conserve water under tight restrictions, city officials say it will now take three to five more weeks. Citing investigations that revealed more areas of the pipe need to be repaired than initially anticipated, city officials say there will be more details to come on the water conservation strategy as they aim to repair the newly found areas of concern. Calgary’s mayor has already warned water use has been trending up since last Saturday and she says more restrictions could come in place if that doesn’t come down.

The second day of the G7 summit saw history being made with Pope Francis addressing world leaders at the event for the first time. As the world’s cameras were focused on the pontiff, Canadians were closely watching the summit’s sidelines — specifically Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the pair met for the first time face-to-face since Trudeau publicly accused India’s government of involvement of the assassination of a Canadian Sikh activist. Mackenzie Gray has more.

The war in Gaza has sparked fears of a wider regional conflict since the deadly Oct. 7 attacks led by Hamas, through another proxy led by Iran. With the current escalation, Israel has issued more stern warnings it will defend its borders. Crystal Goomansingh reports.

About 90 countries and organizations are meeting this weekend in Switzerland for a Ukraine peace summit, with the big question centred around how to end Russia’s war. President Vladimir Putin is not invited to the table, but as Mike Armstrong explains, Putin is still making major demands.

Plus, the U.S. Supreme Court has lifted a ban on bump stocks — the rapid fire accessory used in America’s deadliest mass shooting. The ruling delivers a major blow for gun safety advocates and strikes down one of the very few efforts by the federal government to address America’s gun violence epidemic. Jackson Proskow reports.

Finally, millions of Canadians will soon face an intense heatwave. Early next week temperature could spike to record highs across eastern portions of the country as a heat dome settles in. Anthony Farnell is tracking the weather pattern.
