    2026-06-07 | 28 mins.
    War is erupting again in the Middle East tonight. For the first time since a fragile ceasefire was enacted in April, Iran launched a direct attack on Israel. It comes in response to Israel's continued strikes on Lebanon's capital. Israel has vowed retaliation. But U.S. President Donald Trump still maintains that a peace deal is close to fruition.

    Also: Opioid overdoses are skyrocketing in Winnipeg. A CBC data analysis shows the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service has responded to more than 2-thousand opioid calls so far this year. Manitoba's government has announced one million dollard to address the toxic drug crisis. You'll hear more about what the province is up against.

    And: The FIFA World Cup will begin this week. As the event draws more attention to soccer, Canadian officials think it's a good time to pitch a big project to secure long term support for this country's players.

    Plus: Canada's new Governor General, Undocumented farmworkers fear deportation in California, and more

    And: Quebec’s health minister tables legislation that would ban the sale of energy drinks to those under 16.

    Also: What if you had to shelter in place, 400 kilometres above the surface of the Earth? Astronauts on the International Space Station prepared to evacuate, amid a disagreement between space agencies over how to fix an air leak.

    Canada’s AI strategy, data centre pushback, is there enough jet fuel? and more

    2026-06-04 | 26 mins.
    Prime Minister Mark Carney says he uses AI – and he’s hoping more Canadians will soon use it too. Carney unveiled his government's long-awaited strategy on artificial intelligence. It includes spending up to $2 billion to maximize the benefits, prevent the harms, and give Canada more control over how our data is used.

    And: Scaling up on AI means more data centres. Canada has just five large scale centres so far, and there are plans for nearly 100 more… but there’s pushback in Alberta, where most of the centres are being planned.

    Also: There apparently IS enough aviation fuel for flights. That message is now coming from some major airlines, weeks after scarce supply warnings prompted thousands of flight cancellations.

    Plus: Lebanon-Israel ceasefire, Alberta separation and treaty rights, and more.

    New U.S. tariffs, beautiful game technology, streaming tax under review, and more

    2026-06-03 | 27 mins.
    U.S. President Donald Trump is back at it — announcing new tariffs. He says he’s targeting countries for not cracking down on forced labour, including Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney says new rules are in the works to strengthen Canada's enforcement regime.

    And: The 2026 FIFA World Cup won't just showcase the best in soccer — it will also feature the highest-level technology in the sport. Reporter Tanya Fletcher will have more on what that means for the games.

    Also: In a rare move, the federal government is asking Canada's radio and TV regulator to review a recent decision. Late last month, the CRTC announced hikes on fees that U.S. streaming giants have to pay into Canadian content. The move was slammed by tech giants and U.S. politicians.

    Plus: Canada’s effort to combat forced labour, British protests over race and policing, CBS shakeup, and more.
