Global National: April 22, 2023 | Fighting in Sudan resumes after evacuations, ceasefire crumbles
CA, 23 Apr 2023
On tonight's top story: The major Muslim holiday of Eid was supposed to provide a reprieve for conflict-ridden Sudan. A ceasefire had been agreed upon between two warring generals vying for control of the military, but as Mike Drolet reports, Khartoum was instead clouded in dark smoke, with prayers interrupted by the sound of machine gun fire.
New information from the Pentagon's highly classified intelligence leak is raising concerns about Canada's military spending. The Washington Post reports that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told NATO officials privately that Canada will "never meet" NATO’s defence spending target of two per cent of GDP. The latest report comes just days after an open letter from former top defence and national security officials urged the government to take this issue more seriously. Eric Sorensen reports.
The U.S. Supreme Court handed both the Biden administration and abortion rights advocates a victory on Friday evening. It ruled to allow Mifepristone, a commonly prescribed pill used in medication abortion, to remain available without restrictions. As Reggie Cecchini explains, the victory is only temporary.
Some new recommendations are being studied by the Canadian federal government that are supposed to improve air travel for passengers, especially when flights are delayed or cancelled. This comes just as Canadians enter the busy summer vacation travel period. But as Tim Sargeant explains, not everyone is convinced the recommendations will be implemented or that new sweeping changes will be made.
Also, in B.C.'s coastal rainforests, there are massive trees that are measured and even tracked by the people fighting to protect them. But while powerful forces want to log these trees, there is a new frontier in the fight to save them. As Anne Gaviola reports, this is called the "nature economy," and it relies on conservation and stewardship to promote economic growth.
Plus, COVID-19 may increase a person's risk of developing diabetes, a recent Canadian study found, but as Katherine Ward tells us, experts are still not sure exactly why this is.
And uncertainty lies ahead for the Toronto Raptors, Canada's only NBA team, after the firing of their head coach, Nick Nurse.
