  • Devastation in Texas, Canadian flood readiness, drought in Saskatchewan, and more
    Jul 7 2025

    Debris and destruction are spread for 100 kilometers along the Guadalupe River in Texas. Teams are still searching for the missing, and more than 90 people are confirmed dead. Adding to the heartbreak: questions over whether enough was done to warn people to get out.


    And: Canada doesn’t have a flash flood alert system. And some are saying it should. Its river plains could be at risk, and so could the people who live along them.


    Also: People in Saskatchewan are coping with the other side of the extreme weather spectrum – a severe lack of rain. Several communities have declared emergencies because of drought.


    Plus: U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meet at the White House, Ontario police associations start major recruitment, Australian guilty of poisoning her in-laws, and more.

  • Searching for survivors in Texas, The Dalai Lama turns 90, making all-Canadian cars, and more
    Jul 6 2025

    Authorities in Texas say -- they are not ready to give up hope. Three days after devastating flash floods, rescue workers are still digging through debris in a desperate attempt to find survivors. There are also questions about how the floods caught officials by surprise - and whether possible warning signs were missed.


    Also: Today is the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday. He is one of the world's most influential spiritual leaders - and a symbol of hope and freedom for Tibetans. We'll take you to Dharamshala, India - where the Dalai Lama lives in exile - to hear about the festivities, and simmering tensions over how his eventual successor will be selected.


    And: In the face of trade tensions with the U.S., some auto industry leaders in this country say it's time for Canada to steer our own destiny - by building cars entirely within Canada's borders. But some experts say that task is easier said than done.


    Plus: Colombia's rebel groups recruit teens through TikTok, Homes in Canada's biggest cities going unsold, and more

  • Texas floods, The psychology of drunk driving, Swimming in the Seine, and more
    Jul 5 2025

    Devastating flash flooding has killed more than 30 people in Texas - including at least a dozen children. More than two dozen young girls are missing after being swept away from a campsite by rising waters. You'll hear more on the damage - and how State and federal officials are responding.


    Also: A Toronto woman is facing impaired driving charges after allegedly crashing her car into a downtown café early Saturday morning. Toronto police say large numbers of people still do it every year. We take a look at what makes people take that risk.


    And: One way to beat the summer heat is take a dip in your local watering hole. But for Parisians, that's been difficult. For over a century, swimming in the River Seine has been banned because of high levels of human waste in the waters. But not anymore. We'll take you to Paris to hear how people are jumping in - or not.


    Plus: Israel to send mediators to Qatar for ceasefire talks, The dance school in Mumbai's largest slum, AI identifying whales in Newfoundland and Labrador, and more.
