WARNING: This video contains disturbing content. Russia’s assault on Ukraine keeps getting worse, as a maternity and children’s hospital in Mariupol is bombed. Crystal Goomansingh reports on the terror for everyone in the facility and the dire situation for civilians still in the besieged city.

As the West sends more aid to Ukraine amid the invasion, the crisis is spurring possible collaborations between Canada and at least one ally. Abigail Bimman reports on Germany’s interest in Canadian hydrogen and how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is responding.

There are also fresh fears about Ukraine’s nuclear power plants in Chornobyl and Zaporizhzhia amid the conflict. Mike Armstrong explains what could happen now that the power lines to the Chornobyl facility have been cut and the new worries for the well-being of workers at the Zaporizhzhia plant.

Thousands of displaced Ukrainians are also pouring into neighbouring Moldova, as the refugee crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion keeps worsening. Mercedes Stephenson reports from the Ukraine-Moldova border on what people have endured.

The crisis has also forced Western countries to reevaluate their reliance on Russian energy. Anne Gaviola explains how the crisis is prompting warnings from environmental activists about the need to turn away from oil and gas.

The conflict also poses a major threat to global food supply chains. Redmond Shannon looks at the vulnerable countries relying on Ukrainian agriculture and the war’s ripple effects going beyond Europe.

Also, the changing face of the pandemic: more provinces are dropping mask mandates and other public health measures. Plus, the causes of British Columbia’s overdose crisis and the possible solutions. And a mystery solved after more than 106 years: where polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance ship has finally been found.
