    Hezbollah leader killed, Freedom Corner, The rising price of coffee and more

    Hezbollah has confirmed its leader, Hasan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. We'll tell you what his death means for the Iran-backed militant group - and how it could affect the region moving forward. Also: More than two years after the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, supporters of the rioters still gather every day outside the D.C. jail on what they call Freedom Corner. Our Caroline Barghout brings us to one of those gatherings. Plus: Extreme weather is sending the price of coffee beans soaring - and that's some bitter news to swallow for coffee roasters here in Canada.

    Israel targets Hezbollah HQ in Beirut, Hurricane Helene aftermath, worst season in baseball, and more

    Israel strikes a Beirut suburb saying it is targeting Hezbollah’s headquarters. The strikes destroyed several buildings. Multiple people are dead. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was reported to be the target. It is unclear whether Nasrallah is dead or alive. And: Hurricane Helene left a path of destruction across the southern United States. From the hard-hit Florida Panhandle to North Carolina, homes are destroyed, entire neighbourhoods underwater, millions without power, and at least 30 people dead. Also: Baseball’s long regular season sets it apart from other sports. And 162 games can feel even longer when you lose most of them. With 120 losses, the Chicago White Sox have tied for one the worst seasons in modern baseball history -- and it isn’t over yet. Plus: Tributes pour in for Maggie Smith, independent candidates with familiar names in B.C.’s election, Canadian women filmmakers… and more.

    Big Apple’s mayor charged, Hurricane Helene, death toll climbs in Israel-Hezbollah conflict, and more

    Corruption allegations in the Big Apple. New York’s mayor is facing unprecedented charges. Federal prosecutors accuse Eric Adams of accepting money from fake donors and taking perks from foreign officials while in office in exchange for political favours. The allegations are rocking the city’s administration. Also: Hurricane Helene is bearing down on Florida. The storm has powerful winds, but officials are warning the millions of people in its path that the real threats are flooding and storm surges. And: Both Israel and Hezbollah stepped up their attacks on each other today, pushing aside hopes for a ceasefire. A CBC News team spent the day in Northern Israel near the border with Lebanon, and our Senior International Correspondent is in Beirut. Plus: Another non-confidence motion in parliament, a Canada Post carrier is suspended for refusing to deliver a flyer, and more.

    Confidence votes, B.C. hydro woes, health portals and apps, and more

    Heated debate and insults in the Canadian parliament as the government faces two confidence motions. The Bloc Québécois lays out new conditions to support the government. And: A new hydroelectric power plant is about to go online in B.C. Yet, there are worries the province still won’t be able to meet the energy needs of its growing population in this era of climate change. Also: With more and more Canadians getting their medical results through health portals and apps, some doctors are raising concerns about an emerging problem: patients getting a serious diagnosis - not from them - but from a message on a screen. Plus: Rockets, missiles and airstrikes intensify in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, wildfire research, and a 55-km tunnel under Ontario’s 401 highway?

    Airstrikes in Lebanon, world leaders at the UN, non-confidence in the House, and more

    More than 550 people are dead in Lebanon as Israel hits Hezbollah targets. The militant group retaliates with rockets into Israel, largely intercepted before they land. The human cost of the conflict becomes more stark, as a wider regional war seems to inch closer. We take a look at how the war is affecting people in the region and here in Canada. And: The UN General Assembly kicks off with a warning from Secretary General Antonio Guterres – the world is in a whirlwind, facing challenges unlike any seen before. Also: The House of Commons debates the Conservative Party’s non-confidence motion. The goal – topple the governing Liberals, but other parties are making it a debate about the Conservatives’ policies. Plus… A grain terminal strike, a remote First Nation in Manitoba tries to improve health outcomes for mothers and babies, Cineplex fined nearly $40 million, and more.

    Deadliest day in Lebanon in years, Canada’s stance on Haiti, grizzly bear attacks and more

    Lebanese authorities say more than 350 people are dead, and tens of thousands are fleeing for safety. Israel claims to have hit around 800 Hezbollah targets in the country. It's Lebanon's deadliest day of conflict since at least 2006 - when Israel and Hezbollah were at war. And: On his second day in New York, PM Justin Trudeau turns his attention to Haiti. Canada is pushing for more to be done to help rout violent gangs from the country and restore democracy. Also: Grizzly bear attacks on people – including one earlier this month – are adding pressure on the Alberta government to launch its promised hunt of dangerous bears.  But conservationists say it will reverse progress already made in the recovery of the grizzly population. Plus… Michael Kovrig speaks, two trailblazing female football players meet in Manitoba, day three of election campaigning in B.C., and more.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly. We speak to the CBC's Evan Dyer about his remarks, and what to expect from the summit.

We'll also have an update on the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, the deaths of five bison in an Alberta national park, and much more.
