Russia has launched its broadest attack on Ukraine since the start of the war. At least 14 people were killed and 97 were injured. A flurry of deadly missile strikes targeted bridges and residential highrises in at least 11 cities across the country including the capital. The nation’s energy system has been crippled with five regions completely in the dark. Russian President Vladimir Putin says the assault is revenge for a deadly blast over the weekend on a key bridge linking Russia and Crimea. Crystal Goomansingh reports.

Putin’s retaliation for Saturday’s bombing was widely feared. The European Union calls it a war crime. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Russia must be held accountable and today he spoke to the president of Ukraine. Trudeau expressed his condolences for Russia’s attacks and says Canada will support Ukraine as long as necessary. As Redmond Shannon reports, Russia’s brutal escalation has triggered widespread condemnation from Ukraine’s western allies.

Canada’s sports minister Pascale St-Onge says the weekend decision by the interim chair of Hockey Canada, Andrea Skinner, to resign is a step in the right direction. But as David Akin reports, she and many others say much more still needs to be done to change hockey culture in Canada.

People living in Atlantic Canada and eastern Quebec are still taking stock more than two weeks after a monster storm devastated their communities.

Fiona also damaged a critically important industry on the east coast. Ross Lord has more about the impact on the fishing sector.

In the U.S., voters are less than a month away from heading to the polls for crucial mid-term elections. Republicans had thought they could regain control of Congress. Instead many races are too close to call and even pollsters are unsure who will control the balance of power after Nov. 8. As Jackson Proskow reports, both parties are rushing to shore up support with very different messages.

When a young Canadian is diagnosed with cancer the cost of treatment should be the last thing on their mind. But when it comes to accessing life-saving drugs in Canada, it turns out age does matter. Because there’s no national drug insurance plan, those without private coverage are at the mercy of provincial rules. And as Jamie Mauracher explains, the disparity can put patients in expensive life-or-death situations.
