Global National: May 16, 2024 | Cooler temps, rain help fend off wildfires in Western Canada
Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes, as major wildfires continue to burn near Fort Nelson, B.C., and Fort McMurray, Alta. As Heather Yourex-West explains, while cooler temperatures and rain in some areas are helping firefighters fend off the flames, the situation for these communities remains volatile.
While a wildfire is burning just a few kilometres away from Fort McMurray, Alta., there are plenty of firefighters, helicopters, and heavy equipment assigned to the city to help prevent the blaze from coming closer. As Jasmine King reports, a good break in the weather is also helping douse the flames and ease the fears of evacuees.
Two Ontario men are facing charges of fraud over $5,000 and laundering the proceeds of crime, after police say investors were scammed out of millions of dollars. Shallima Maharaj explains how Colin Murphy and self-proclaimed "crypto king" Aiden Pleterski are accused of duping funders.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting the Kharkiv region, as the country's military urgently tries to defend it from Russia's renewed push into the northeast region. As Crystal Goomansingh reports, the violent battles unfold as Russian President Vladimir Putin visits Chinese leader Xi Jinping, to reaffirm their alliance.
Health misinformation has been spreading largely unchecked online, and the consequences can be a matter of life and death. Katherine Ward looks at how KZread is expanding a program to Canada, that identifies doctors and health experts on the platform as sources of accurate information.
New Caledonia is under a state of emergency after days of deadly riots, sparked over the announcement of controversial electoral reforms for the French territory. As Mike Armstrong explains, critics say the proposed changes will further marginalize Indigenous Kanak people, which make up nearly half of the territory's population.
Plus, while Nova Scotia already attracts lots of visitors with its lobsters and lighthouses, a family of ranchers is hoping to start a tourist hotspot of their own, after setting up a bison farm. Heid Petracek gives a tour of the ranch at Lindsay Lake, N.S., and speaks with the owners about why they are raising the iconic animals of the Prairies in the Atlantic province.

Now, in a historic move by the province, the largest water-sharing agreements ever have been put into place to combat the risk of severe drought. The province announced Friday that 38 of the largest and oldest water licensees in southern Alberta have voluntarily agreed to reduce their water use if severe drought conditions materialize in the spring and summer."

No one who got vaccinated is stuck to their refrigerator. Sheri Tenpenny, a Cleveland-based doctor was invited as an expert witness to a hearing in the Ohio House. She had a warning for legislators about coronavirus vaccines. The anti-vaccination advocate known for spreading unfounded claims falsely told legislators that the drugs could leave people magnetized.

Probably this: "Phos-Chek, a fertilizer-based liquid, is one of the most commonly used fire retardants dropped from planes. It is a direct firefighting agent that contains polymers, surfactants, water, and other additives."
Even medicines are on trial. If I don't like tobtake medicine, I have mycrights not to take even if prescribed. Even doctors are not fly confident. They just try.
Thank God for the Rain 🌧️🙏🙏
