A wildfire near Churchill Falls, N.L., has exploded in size overnight, forcing hundreds of residents to scramble to safety. Heidi Petracek reports on how people were given just minutes to get out and how resources are being deployed to try to save the town.

Much of Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada are not only under heat warnings, but the threat of severe thunderstorms now also looms. Global News meteorologist Anthony Farnell explains what people there can expect.

Two people have died from wildfires in New Mexico, where at least 1,500 structures have been destroyed, while nearly 8,000 residents have been ordered to flee. As Jackson Proskow explains, while rain in the forecast could help firefighting efforts, there are worries about what that precipitation could cause.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been in the fight of his political life since calling a snap election, with polls showing the Conservatives could be reduced to the fewest seats in the party's history. Redmond Shannon explains how a U.K. Tory wipeout would be reminiscent of what happened to Canada's Progressive Conservatives in 1993.

While Canada has historically exported more electricity to the U.S. than it receives, that trade is now reversing. Neetu Garcha explains what's behind that; how industry experts are divided on whether it's a blip or a trend and the challenges and opportunities from it all.

Plus, Donald Sutherland, the legendary Canadian who graced both TV and movie screens for seven decades, has died at the age of 88. Eric Sorensen looks back on how Sutherland’s range and talent made him one of the greatest actors of his generation.

I learned of Mr. Donald Sutherland watching the movie Murder by Decree. His character looked somber and fragile but mysterious, God rest his soul!
