Come along for the trip. Other People's Problems Season 5, available now. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Gina Louise Phillips. We begin with a tragic story out of Toronto. Three children are dead after the vehicle they were traveling in was hit by a

suspected drunk driver. It happened just after 1230 this morning local time at a highway off ramp near Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Police say four children and two adults were in a vehicle that was stopped at a red light when they were hit. But here Sir Banadhan is with Toronto Police. One person's decision to drink and drive which is a fatal decision this person made and we as a police service we educate the public of the danger of decision to drink and drive, which is a fatal decision this person made. And we as a Crown Police Service, we educate the public of the dangers of drinking and driving and this is a result a family is torn apart. A 19 year old man has been

arrested and charged with multiple impaired and dangerous driving offenses. The Prime Minister is in Rome and speaking from the Vatican just moments ago. Carney is leading a Canadian delegation and meeting with world leaders. He says there is one main message the meetings have left him with. I will leave Rome tomorrow morning more convinced than ever that Canada has what the world wants and we seek to follow the values that the world respects. So there's a tremendous opportunity for Canada to help lead a world that is being reshaped. Yesterday, Carney met with Ukraine

president Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as Italy's premier and president. Today, he met with German Chancellor Frederick Merz, and he'll be meeting with US Vice President JD Vance today and planning a call with the US president in the future. Thousands of people, including the prime minister, gathered in St. Peter's Square to witness the inaugural Mass of Pope Leo XIV. The elaborate ceremony marks the official start of his papacy.

Megan Williams reports from the Vatican. A delighted crowd shouted, Long live the Pope, as Leo XIV, riding in an open popemobile, waved to thousands ahead of the mass that formally launched his papacy. The world badly needs hope, says Trish Stiles from Ireland, saying a US-born Pope is actually a message to the world, alternative viewpoints and districts. To President Trump, Peruvian Gustavo Crispi says he hopes Pope Leo, a fellow Peruvian citizen, will bring justice to a country suffering state repression and threats to indigenous rights.

The new pope spoke out against an economic paradigm that exploits the earth's resources and marginalizes the poorest. Megan Williams, CBC News, The Vatican. The search for two missing children in rural Nova Scotia is expected to pick up again today. The pair, six-year-old Lily Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack, have been missing since the beginning of the month. RCMPs say this phase of the search is focusing on the immediate area around the road where the home is located, about 140 kilometres northeast of Halifax.

The Quebec government is stepping in to assist the water crisis in a northern village in Nunavik. Its pipeline has been frozen since March and is leading to some evacuations at the hospital. Samuel Watt has the latest. Many residents in the northern Quebec village of Paverne-Tuc 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 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.
