Wildfire in Lytton, U.S.-Iran ceasefire tensions, the bond between two Labrador communities, and more

About this episode

A wildfire is threatening the town of Lytton, B.C. Sixty homes were evacuated Friday, and conditions ideal for a fire to grow quickly. The community is still trying to recover from a fast moving wildfire that roared through the village five years ago that left much of the community destroyed.


Also: Tensions between Iran and the U.S. over the Strait of Hormuz are threatening to derail an interim deal to end the fighting. Both sides are making conflicting claims about the status of the strategic waterway. Iran says it's closed the strait because of Israeli strikes in Lebanon that killed at least 20 people. But talks to formalize the deal appear to be going ahead.


And: Almost three decades ago, a plane carrying medical supplies crashed onto the sea ice at Davis Inlet, an Island off the northeast coast of Labrador. The young pilot lost his life. But out of that tragedy, a bond was born — connecting two communities and enduring to this day.


Plus: Colombia's election, Demonstrations in support of CUSMA, Kenyans embracing bitcoin, and more.
