Global National: Aug. 10, 2024 | Team Canada’s historic Olympic medal wins in Paris
The Paris Olympics is nearing the end, and it has been a historic run for Team Canada at these summer games. With 27 medals overall — including nine gold — the medal haul is a record for Team Canada. Crystal Goomansingh has more on the athletes behind the big wins. Many Montrealers spent the day dealing with the effects of a record-setting rainfall that flooded several roadways and homes. Some communities north of the city have been cut off entirely, after the remnants of Storm Debby brought in more than a month's worth of rain. Over half a million people lost power — though that number has come down significantly as crews work to repair the network. Dan Spector reports. In Alberta, the mayor of Jasper says a re-entry plan for evacuated residents will be announced on Monday, more than three weeks after wildfire destroyed almost 30 per cent of town. With the fire risk slowly diminishing, business owners have already been slowly returning. But as Heather Yourex-West explains, there's still a lot of work to be done for things to be ready for the general public. Officials in Brazil have recovered the remains of some of the victims of a plane crash that left 62 people dead near São Paulo. Authorities have also confirmed they have retrieved the ATR 72's black boxes, a type of plane still used by some Canadian carriers. And as Sean O'Shea reports, one aviation expert says it's worth looking into the safety of it. An Israeli airstrike on a school building sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza has killed dozens. Israel says the compound was a Hamas military facility, claiming it killed at least 19 Islamic Jihad terrorists in the attack. Hamas denies the allegations and says the death toll could rise well above a hundred. As Grace Ke reports, Israel’s actions are already being widely condemned by the international community, regardless of the total. Ten years after the death of an Indigenous 15-year-old girl in Winnipeg, the grief and anger is still being felt right across Canada. Katherine Dornian has more on the lasting legacy of Tina Fontaine and how Winnipeg is remembering her this weekend. “Breaking" is a brand-new sport at the Paris Olympics, and Vancouver’s Philip Kim clinched the country's first gold medal in the sport earlier today. A mix of acrobatics and stylized footwork set to music, its name is a variation on "break dancing." Touria Izri recently sat down with the b-boy known as "Phil Wizard" on how his passion became an obsession and his dreams to change traditional narratives.
