Episode description

At least one Canadian was on board Air India flight 171, when it crashed into a residential area in Ahmedabad, India, killing all but one of the 242 people on the plane, and several others on the ground. It’s the first fatal crash for a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The jet was 11 years old, with no major problems previously reported. So — what made it drop from the sky less than a minute after taking off?


And: It's a dramatic video at a dramatic time. A U.S. senator forcibly pushed to the ground and handcuffed in LA as he shouts questions at the Homeland Security Director about arrests and detentions of undocumented immigrants. The scene now part of the debate dividing Americans over how much force is too much to solve a problem.


Also: She’s broken three world records — including one she’d set. And that’s just this week. Eighteen-year-old swimmer Summer McIntosh is crushing the competition and cementing her place as one of best swimmers of her generation.


Plus: Closing arguments in the sex-assault trial of hockey players, surgeries are up in Canada — but so are wait times, Iran fails to meet nuclear commitments as tensions rise, and more.
