Video Description

A new Ipsos poll shows the federal Liberals gaining momentum with less than two weeks until the party’s leadership race concludes. David Akin explains how trustworthy the survey could be, what’s changed the Liberals’ fortunes and the takeaways from the French-language debate between Chrystia Freeland, Frank Baylis, Karina Gould and Mark Carney. In a surprising move, Andrew Furey is stepping down as premier of Newfoundland and Labrador after nearly five years. Heidi Petracek looks at what's behind Furey's decision, the reaction from voters and other premiers, and the blunt way he described U.S. President Donald Trump. Catholics around the world are anxiously waiting for updates on Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized for more than a week. Jeff Semple reports on what the Vatican is saying about the 88-year-old's health and the growing worries about the pontiff's progressive moves being rolled back by his successor. Plus, on July 6, 2013, a runaway train derailed and exploded in Lac-Mégantic, Que. killing 47 people. Global's Mike Armstrong got to know Jean Clusiault, whose daughter, Kathy, died in the tragedy.
