Hurricane Melissa's landfall; Israel strikes Gaza; Alta. teachers push back
Hurricane Melissa makes landfall in Jamaica, with winds that neared 300 kilometres per hour. Jackson Proskow reports on the havoc the storm is wreaking, the fears of flash flooding and landslides, and hears from two Montrealers caught in the crosshairs of the storm. Global News meteorologist Anthony Farnell looks at how Melissa compares to some other strong hurricanes. The fragile Israel-Hamas ceasefire is now on even shakier ground as both sides accuse each other of violating their agreement again. Mike Armstrong explains why Israel launched more attacks on Gaza, what Hamas is being accused of, and how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under immense pressure. Alberta schools will be back in session Wednesday after the provincial government used the notwithstanding clause to force striking teachers back to work. Heather Yourex-West explains how labour groups are vowing to fight back, and how it's not the first time a provincial government has made the same move. A Halifax teenager is facing multiple child pornography charges linked to an online extremist group preying on vulnerable children and teenagers. Heidi Petracek explains what the boy is accused of, how the group reaches its victims, and how parents can protect their children. There are new warnings about a conflict the world has ignored for more than two years. Redmond Shannon explains why the United Nations believes Sudan's civil war is about to get much worse. Also, why Amazon and Canada Post are cutting jobs. Plus, "Fawlty Towers" star Prunella Scales has died at the age of 93. And Monday's marathon matchup had MLB fans up very late and very disappointed. Eric Sorensen reports from Los Angeles on the hopes the Toronto Blue Jays can bounce back.
