The White House has confirmed both the U.S. and the U.K. have carried out strikes on Houthi-related targets in Yemen. The Houthis have been attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea in a show of support for Hamas as Israel's war in Gaza rages on. Now South Africa is formally accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which has plummeted into a grave humanitarian crisis as Israel wages war on Hamas. South Africa's argument at the International Court of Justice, how Israel is vehemently denying the allegations, and what Canada is saying. Ed Broadbent, who catapulted the federal NDP to popularity in the 1980s, has died at the age of 87. He led the party from 1975 to 1989, and served as an MP from 1968 to 1989. How Broadbent is being remembered as an passionate advocate for justice and equality; and a fierce defender for ordinary Canadians. On the final day of his civil fraud trial, former U.S. president Donald Trump took aim at the judge and New York Attorney General Letitia James. What Trump said; the warning he received; and how the Republican primaries could be affected by Chris Christie, a vocal critic of Trump, dropping out of the race. Plus, China's warning to voters in Taiwan just days before the island's presidential election. And after making a victorious racket in the tennis world, Canadian champion Eugenie Bouchard is now paddling up a debut in the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA). How she did in her inaugural match, and her hopes for the rapidly rising sport.
