Tens of thousands of people are on hand this morning in Vatican City for the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV, who will be officially installed as the new leader of the world's 1.4 billion Roman Catholics. The American Pontiff is holding an outdoor mass at St. Peter's Square. People arriving in Rome this morning appeared excited to take it all in. I'm extremely excited. I think he'll make a wonderful pope. I like how emotional and kind he is. I love his background. I'm extremely happy to be here. Several world leaders, including

Prime Minister Mark Carney, are on hand for the mass. To Brooklyn, New York. In a video posted to social media, the sounds of two masts from a tall ship hitting the bottom of the Brooklyn Bridge could be heard snapping off. A Mexican Navy tall ship was cruising in the East River as part of a festive visit to New York last night. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has confirmed that two people were killed and 19 others in the collision injured, two critically. The ship carrying a total of 277 people as part of a multi-country cruise reportedly lost power as it left port before crashing into the bridge. The Quebec government is stepping in to

assist the water crisis in Pavern Tuck and Nunavik. The Northern Villages pipeline has been frozen since March. Residents have since struggled with low supply and at times no supply of water and it's leading to some evacuations at the hospital. Samuel Watt has the latest. Many residents in the northern Quebec village of Pavern Tuck have been going days, even weeks without water delivery. And Nunavut's acting public health director, Dr. Yassin Chalikov, says the situation has gotten acutely worse in recent days. Now they're evacuating patients south to places like Montreal for care.

A hospital or any advanced healthcare institution can't operate without running water for a prolonged period of time. The community has been facing a serious water supply problem after a critical pipe connecting advanced health care institution can't operate without running water for a prolonged period of time. The community has been facing a serious water supply problem after a critical pipe connecting the pump station to the treatment plant froze mid-March, so trucks have to go further out of town to collect water, slowing delivery. And slushy, snow-clogged roads are hampering those efforts. The village is also fighting a rise in gastroenteritis, and prevention of that often relies on water.

The Quebec government is sending planes loaded with bottled water to the community. Samuel Watt, CBC News, Iqaluit. The Winnipeg Jets hope Silver Stanley Cup this season are over. The Jets were beaten 2-1 in overtime by the Dallas Stars in game six of their Western Conference semifinal series in Texas last night. The loss coming just hours after star center Mark Shieffley learned of the passing of his father Brad the night before. Shieffley was warmly consoled by Stars players in the handshake line following the loss. Stars head coach Pete DeBoer, a former head coach of the Kitchener Rangers in Shifely's Ontario hometown, had plenty of praise for the

32 year old Jets center. Condolences to Mark Shifely and his family. I consider myself a Kitchener guy. His family's from Kitchener. Just courageous what he did tonight and I'm sure you know his dad would have been really proud of him and what he did and you know and I'm sure his dad would have wanted him there. Hats off to him. The stars move on to face the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Final. Now for the song that won the Eurovision Grand Final last night. Classically trained JJ of Austria took home the top prize with the tune Wasted Love. Israel's Juval Raphael came second.

The competition set in Basel, Switzerland this year featured acts from 26 countries. They performed to some 160 million viewers. It's Austria's first win since 2014 and third victory overall. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fage.
