Turning to the Olympics: Canada's women's rugby sevens team is brimming with pride after its best-ever finish at the Paris Olympics, winning silver in the tournament after a tense match with New Zealand. Heidi Petracek looks at the reaction to the historic result from the team's fans and family.
While the Paris Olympics got off to a rainy start, both athletes and spectators are now being forced to endure a scorching heat wave. Crystal Goomansingh looks at how organizers are trying to keep everyone cool and why the hot weather could be good news for the River Seine, where the swimming portion of the triathlon events is being planned.
Meanwhile, grief and anger are sweeping through the U.K. after a stabbing rampage at a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga class killed at least three young girls and left seven other people critically injured. Redmond Shannon reports on the children who died in the attack and the violence that's broken out over the detained suspect's undisclosed identity.
While a bit of rain and cooler temperatures have given firefighters in Western Canada a slight reprieve, it has not been enough to dramatically change the overall wildfire situation in the region. Heather Yourex-West looks at which fires are still keeping thousands of Canadians out of their homes.
A tiny pest leaving behind a graveyard of trees across Canadian forests may have helped stoke some conditions for the devastating fire in Jasper, Alta., but the biggest drivers were heat and dryness, climate and forest scientists say. Mackenzie Gray reports on the factors that exacerbated the blaze.
Plus, the Olympic Games are a chance for athletes from lesser-known sports to shine, including Canadian competitive sailor Sarah Douglas, who just missed out on a medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. As Touria Izri reports, Douglas is confident she will be on the podium in Paris.

Hezbollah attacked Israel the day after the Hamas genocide against Israelis on October 7. Hezbollah has been bombarding Israel nonstop, most recently killing children on a soccer field. And the US wants Israel to show restraint??!! Would the US or any other country show restraint under those circumstances??
