On this episode of Global National: After pandemic restrictions kept influenza at bay, there are signs the flu is about to make a comeback. Jamie Mauracher explains who's most at risk, and the stress the flu could put on an already strained health-care system.

Mammograms are important in detecting breast cancer. While anyone at any age can get breast cancer, regular mammograms aren't recommended for younger women. As Sarah Komadina, calls are growing to revise the rules to save more lives.

And as Russia escalates its aerial assault of Ukraine, Iran denies it's supplying Russian forces with drones to keep up the attacks. Eric Sorensen explains what this new onslaught suggests and the toll it's taking on Ukrainians.

Plus, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has testified at the inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act to end February's trucker convoy protests. As Abigail Bimman reports, Watson had no shortage of criticisms for the province, the federal government and local police, but it wasn't about placing blame.

There are questions about the well-being of Iranian climber Elnaz Rekabi, who recently competed in Seoul, South Korea without her hijab, which she says "inadvertently" fell off. As Redmond Shannon reports, human rights activists fear for Rekabi's safety, as the Iran government faces a firestorm of criticism into how it treats women, especially following the death of Mahsa Amini.

A harsh drought keeps looming over British Columbia, where it's now been more than 100 days since any significant rainfall, with autumn feeling more like the summer in much of the province. From wildfire smoke to ultra-low water levels, Aaron McArthur looks at the toll of the unprecedented conditions on communities.
