Your World Tonight CBC News & Politics

On the Saturday edition of Your World Tonight we had a conversation with Aaron Wherry. We asked him to get to the bottom of why the Prime Minister of Canada has done interviews with so many American podcasts. Because we have a limited time slot we couldn't share that full interview with you in our broadcast edition. But we really liked what Aaron had to say, and thought you would too. So here is the full conversation.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other world leaders are in Switzerland, taking part in a peace summit for Ukraine. Also: Calgary has declared a local state of emergency - as residents deal with a water main break that officials say will take weeks to repair. Plus: A Black Canadian singing legend get's her due - a new Opera is putting Portia White's name back in the spotlight, more than 55 years after her death.

An interaction on the margins of the G7 marks the first time the leaders of Canada and India met - since one government accused the other of involvement in murder. And: The Princess of Wales says her cancer treatments aren’t over yet, but she is making progress. In a letter, she confirmed she will attend her first public engagement in months on Saturday. Plus: Support for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is dropping as the war in Ukraine rages on. There’s frustration and exhaustion on the homefront, and on the front lines.

Ukraine dominates the first day of the G7 meeting in Italy. Canada is contributing $billion for the war effort - funded by frozen Russian assets. Still, Ukraine has another challenge - finding enough soldiers to fight the war. And: The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rejects a lawsuit challenging the use of the abortion pill mifepristone, two years after the court overturned Roe v. Wade. Plus: Chief Correspondent Adrienne Arsenault sits down with Céline Dion to talk about what pulled her from the stage four years ago and her goal to sing again.

The calls are growing louder both inside and outside Canada for the government to live up to its financial commitments to NATO. Canada is expected to increase defence spending to two per cent of GDP. And: Hezbollah fires more than 200 rockets into Israel in retaliation for an Israeli strike that killed one of their senior commanders. As tensions increase on the Israel-Lebanon border, the US Secretary of State is in the region, pushing for a ceasefire and hostage release in the war in Gaza. Plus: A Canadian-led team of shipwreck hunters finds Quest, the final expedition vessel of explorer Ernest Shackleton. The international team found the ship's remains off the coast of Labrador.

The Green Party leader says there are no sitting MPs named and shamed in the recent report on foreign interference. Elizabeth May says she’s read it, and wants all the speculation about disloyal parliamentarians to stop. Also: Offers and counter offers for a ceasefire in Gaza. But the positions of Israel and Hamas… are still unclear.
Plus: Plant-based but ultra-processed is bad news for hearts. That’s the finding of a new study from the British medical journal, The Lancet. The study of 100,000 people found that these processed foods may contribute to cardiovascular disease and even death.
