It's the news millions of Canadians have been waiting for. The Bank of Canada (BoC) has finally cut its trend-setting interest rate for the first time since March 2020, the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. How much the rate has gone down, what BoC governor Tiff Macklem has to say about future cuts, and the relief for some homeowners.

It's been 80 years since the Allies invaded the beaches of Normandy, liberating Europe from the Nazis. Dawna Friesen looks back at the elaborate operation of lies, secrecy and deception used to fool Nazi commanders before the largest seaborne invasion in history.

A cloud of suspicion is hanging over Parliament after the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) alleged some MPs had helped foreign states. Touria Izri reports on how the federal Liberals are staying tight-lipped and how calls are growing to release the names of the alleged colluders.

Earth has faced 12 straight months of record-breaking temperatures, with the planet's average during that span being 1.63 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the European Union's (EU) climate monitoring service. Jackson Proskow reports on what scientists are warning could come next.

In the Gaza Strip, more than a million displaced Palestinians are said to be sheltering in Khan Younis, according to the United Nations (UN). The international agency says they were forced to head to the next largest centre north of Rafah after an Israeli military evacuation last month, with many staying in destroyed buildings or makeshift tents with no services. As Crystal Goomansingh reports, one of these individuals is Sara Khaled, a 24-year-old dental graduate who once dreamed of opening her own clinic, but is now staying in a room with seven relatives and focused on basic survival.

Plus, while D-Day stories are usually about men who stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight Nazi Germany, 1.1 million women also had critical roles in defeating the enemy. They served with the Western Allies as codebreakers, ship plotters, radar operators and cartographers. Dawna Friesen speaks with Lucille Lane, a Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (WRCNS) veteran, about her vivid memories of what was at stake during the Second World War.
