As Canadians hit the road this holiday weekend, many are bracing for what could be a more expensive return home. The federal carbon tax hike takes effect on Monday with gas prices set to rise three cents a litre. The majority of premiers are expressing their displeasure, prompting the prime minister to fire back and call Conservatives “liars.” Abigail Bimman has a reality check about what’s at stake and what Canadians can expect in the days to come.
The United Nations has a blunt warning about the situation in Haiti, and is calling for immediate and bold action to fight what it is calling a worsening catastrophe. The surge in gang violence has brought with it a surge in hunger. Close to five million people — nearly half of Haiti’s population — now faces food insecurity. Mike Armstrong reports.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu is facing pressure to return hostages still in Hamas captivity. On Friday, he confirmed a new round of negotiations will proceed in the coming days, but also brought renewed fears of the conflict expanding. Syria is accusing Israel of deadly strikes near Aleppo International Airport, which killed more than 40 people. Several members of the group Hezbollah are reportedly dead. Crystal Goomansingh reports.
A massive cleanup operation has officially begun in Baltimore as crews start the daunting task of clearing debris from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. Several cranes will eventually be involved but officials warn it will be a long process to reopen the port to ships and much longer to rebuild the bridge. Joel Senick has more on the monumental cleanup effort.
The conflict in Gaza and the war in Ukraine are occupying the minds and agendas of political leaders across the world. But there are many other conflicts getting little attention, including the nearly year-long civil war in Sudan. The huge African nation is in the grips of a hunger and migration emergency. The crisis stems from a battle between the Sudanese Army and a rebel parliamentary group that is trying to gain control. Redmond Shannon reports.
