Seated around the summit table ahead of Carney’s official opening remarks, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni appeared to roll her eyes during an interaction with French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron. With all the leaders’ microphones muted, Meloni can be seen leaning over while Macron whispers something to her behind a closed fist, prompting Meloni to look up at him. The two then give slight nods, and she makes a thumbs-up gesture. About 30 seconds later, Macron is again seen whispering to Meloni, before she looks up at him and rolls her eyes. The camera then cut away. With muted microphones and shielding their mouths, it’s unclear what the French president said to elicit the Italian prime minister’s response. #cp24 #news #G7

Israel struck Iran’s state-run television station Monday during a live broadcast, forcing a reporter to run off camera following an explosion, after Iran fired a new wave of missiles at Israel that killed at least eight people. In other developments, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli strikes have set Iran’s nuclear program back a “very, very long time.” He added that Israel is not attempting to topple the Iranian government, but said he would not be surprised if that happened as a result of the strikes. “The regime is very weak,” Netanyahu told a news conference. He added that he is in daily touch with U.S. President Donald Trump. As he spoke, large numbers of explosions were heard in Tehran. Israel warned hundreds of thousands of people in the middle of Tehran to evacuate ahead of the strike against the TV station, which the military said provided a cover for Iranian military operations. #cp24 #news #iran #statemedia

Investigators in India on Sunday recovered the second black box from the London-bound Air India Boeing 787 that crashed in the city of Ahmedabad, killing at least 279 people, authorities announced. The cockpit voice recorder has been found, PK Mishra, a senior aide to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said in a statement. The flight data recorder was recovered on Friday, one day after the crash. Only one passenger survived among the 242 travellers and crew on board the Air India jet when it crashed Thursday into a residential area of Ahmedabad, killing at least 38 people on the ground. “The AAIB has launched a detailed investigation, and the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting a parallel probe under international protocols since the aircraft is American-made,” Mishra said in a statement. “Officials confirmed that the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) have been located and secured.” Multiple experts have said it is too soon to say why the jet crashed shortly after takeoff. #cp24 #news #plane #airindia #blackbox

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says four masked suspects attempted to steal a car from his Etobicoke driveway early Tuesday morning. “Thank God the police got you and I never did,” Ford said at an unrelated news conference in a self-described “rant” about Canada’s criminal justice system. Ford initially said that the suspects, who he described as “stupid criminals,” were apprehended by his OPP detail. However, Toronto police clarified their officers made the arrests. The premier said the car belonged to his brother. #cp24 #news #toronto #dougford #bail

Premier Doug Ford delivered an unprompted “rant” against “weak-kneed judges” and a “broken” bail system on Tuesday after learning that all but one suspect charged in connection with a nearly $50-million drug bust in Peel Region have already been released from custody. Peel Regional Police held a news conference last week to announce nine arrests in connection with what officials said was the largest single seizure of drugs in the force’s history. During the news conference, police said that officers seized a total of 479 kilograms of bricked cocaine in connection with the investigation, much of it hidden in transport trucks. Police called the bust a “seismic blow to transnational organized crime,” however they later confirmed that eight of the suspects were already out on bail. #cp24 #news #toronto #dougford #bail

London native Shianne Brown still remembers her disbelief when she heard, half a world away, that Toronto mayor Rob Ford had been caught on video smoking crack cocaine. “What the hell is happening in Toronto? That’s crazy,” the filmmaker recalls thinking when the news broke in 2013. The late mayor quickly became an international spectacle, first for the bombshell allegation that he eventually admitted to, and then for the flaming rollercoaster of scandals that followed — which included allegations of public drunkenness and physically knocking over a city councillor. More than a decade later, Brown is the director behind “Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem,” a new Netflix documentary chronicling Ford’s rise to power and his chaotic time in office. The episode, out Tuesday, is part of the streamer’s “Trainwreck” anthology series, which, according to a logline, examines “some of the most disastrous events ever to blow up in mainstream media.” “I wanted to really tap into the human being that is Rob Ford, not the political headline that is Rob Ford,” says Brown on a video call from London. “There is a side of this story where you just go full force into the scandal, but that didn’t feel like it did the story justice or it did Rob Ford and his many supporters and his friends and family justice.” #cp24 #news #toronto #robford
