The Apple TV 4K is back in stock at Amazon and on sale for $120.

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Newfoundland and Labrador officials say the state of emergency called last weekend because of raging wildfires in the centre of the province will end on Saturday.

A recent Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) decision was supposed to help clear the air on flight compensation. When issuing a decision in a WestJet case on July 8, the transport regulator clarified that, in general, airlines can't deny passengers compensation for flight disruptions caused by crew shortages. However, the clarification has only ignited fury for some passengers, including Frank Michel, who have since been denied compensation — due to crew shortages. "It's insulting," said Michel
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — For most teenage girls in Afghanistan, it’s been a year since they set foot in a classroom.

On Wednesday, TransEd, the construction company behind the project, said that as many as 18 concrete piers may need repairing along the 13-kilometre line from Mill Woods to downtown. It is the latest setback to the project that was supposed to be opened in the winter of 2020. Last October, the company announced the project was delayed because of a longer-than

A group challenging Quebec's new language law logged a first legal victory against the legislation on Friday, as a judge temporarily suspended a provision requiring English court documents to be translated into French.

Rishi Sunak, the underdog in the race to become Britain's next prime minister, said scrapping the Bank of England's independence would be a mistake that would scare off international investors. Asked about comments from leadership front-runner Liz Truss's team suggesting that the central bank's rate-setting independence should be reviewed, Sunak said: "That would be a massive mistake for our country, and international investors would really not look very kindly on it at all." Sunak was speaking at an event for Conservative Party members who are voting over the next few weeks to decide the country's next leader.
