Prime Minister Mark Carney is now in Rome, ahead of Pope Leo XIV's inaugural mass on Sunday. Along with attending the mass,

The Ukrainian military says a Russian drone strike has hit a civilian bus in the Sumi region, killing at least nine people.

Four others were injured. The attack came as the bus was leaving the city of Bilipilia. As a result of this inhumane strike, there are fatalities and injuries. The exact same day the attack took place in the city of Bilipilia, the attack was carried out in the city of Bilipilia. The attack was carried out in the city of Bilipilia, the attack was carried out in the city of Bilupilje. As a result of this inhumane strike, there are fatalities and injuries. The exact number of casualties is being clarified. Emergency medical services, the state emergency service and the police are working at the scene.

Russia claims the attack was on a Ukrainian military staging area. As Canadians hit the road this long weekend, a tactic by one Ontario police force to combat distracted driving is stirring up some debate. They're using drones to catch those texting and driving. But as Dan Tacoma reports, some say it's a breach of privacy. Drivers who recently passed through three intersections in Kingston, Ontario, had no idea they were being watched. But high above them, a police drone hovered, zooming in and catching 20 people using their phones. There are a lot of Kingston residents who find it creepy and are asking whether it's legal,

and in our view, it isn't. Josh DeHaas is with the Canadian Constitution Foundation. He sent a letter to Kingston's police chief saying it amounts to an unreasonable search. Kingston Police Chief Scott Fraser says police aren't snooping on people screens. We're trying to keep the roadway safe. Fraser says in the past, police have boarded public transit or even school buses to try and catch distracted drivers. What's the difference of me sitting in a truck looking down in your window than a drone at 120 feet looking down in your window?

The chief says police did not seek any authorization before the approach took off. But if a court decides they can't catch distracted drivers this way, the drone will stay grounded. Dan Tacoma, CBC News, Kingston, Ontario. Three weeks into the sexual assault trial of five former Team Canada junior hockey players, the judge in the case has discharged the entire jury. Katie Nicholson tells us what happened and where the trial goes from here. On Thursday, the jury sent a note to the judge, which accused Alex Fermenton's lawyers, Daniel Brown and Hilary Dudding, of judging and making fun of them.

After arguments from the Crown and defence on what to do next, Justice Maria Carosia decided to discharge the jury. Fomenton's legal team, Brown and Dudding, sent out a press release calling the incident an unfortunate misinterpretation. No defence counsel would risk alienating a juror, the statement said. The defence teams argued the accusations threatened to tank the jury and the trial. It just contaminates everything. Rishi Gill is a criminal defense lawyer and former crown in Vancouver. He has no involvement in this trial. And I think

once that accusation is made, whether there's foundation or not, it's really gonna put things in jeopardy and that's what's happened. The fates of the five accused now up to a judge alone. Katie Nicholson, CBC News, London, Ontario. The Toronto Maple Leafs have forced the seventh and deciding game in their Stanley Cup Playoffs series with the Florida Panthers.
