U.S. President Joe Biden has visited Ottawa for the first time since assuming office. David Akin looks at his address to Canadian Parliament, the ice-breaking moment, what his trip accomplished, including the deals he struck with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and how Ottawa residents reacted.
Two special guests were in the House of Commons for Biden's speech: the two Michaels. The salute to Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, the Canadian men who spent more than 1,000 days detained in China before being released in September 2021.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is speaking in support of Toronto MP Han Dong, who is at the centre of Chinese influence allegations. Two separate national security sources also say Dong advocated for the delayed release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. Mercedes Stephenson reports on what Trudeau had to say.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing growing anger over his coalition's push to give itself increased power. Eric Sorensen explains the changes benefitting the Netanyahu government, and how even Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has warned the leader is breaking the law.
Plus: avian flu fears are soaring. Katherine Ward has more on the calls for humans to be vaccinated against this virus.
