Global National: June 6, 2022 | BC trial begins for Dutch man accused of cyberbullying Amanda Todd

The high-profile trial has begun in British Columbia for Dutch national Aydin Cobain, accused of cyberbullying Amanda Todd, who died by suicide in 2012. Cobain was extradited to Canada on multiple charges, including extortion and harassment. Neetu Garcha reports on the disturbing allegations Cobain is facing.

The Chinese government is defiant and on the defence over allegations its fighter pilots have been getting aggressive with Canadian and Australian military aircraft. As Mercedes Stephenson explains, Beijing is now sending a new warning to Ottawa.

As Ukraine's forces keep battling Russia, some civilians are playing a pivotal role in repelling the enemy. In a Global News exclusive, Jeff Semple introduces you to a 15-year-old drone pilot getting credit for helping to spot and destroy a row of Russian military vehicles.

Despite feeling the heat for months over his “Partygate” scandal, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is keeping his job for another day, surviving a confidence vote triggered by his own caucus. As Crystal Goomansingh reports, this doesn't mean Johnson's troubles are over.

Plus, Ontario is the first major jurisdiction in Canada to institute a "right to disconnect" law and it kicked in last week, giving workers the ability to disconnect from the workplace after hours. But as Anne Gaviola explains, the new law doesn't actually require employers to guarantee that workers have the right to disconnect.

And Canadians gave their lives as part of the largest military operation of the Second World War during D-Day. One of those heroes was Flying Officer Harvey Edgar Jones. In part one of a two-part series, Dan Spector explains the selfless sacrifice that Jones made as his aircraft began plummeting from the sky.
