Global National: Oct. 30, 2024 | Spain's worst floods in decades leave some people in "living hell"

Torrential rainfall has triggered flash flooding and mudslides in Spain, where at least 95 people have died and many others are missing. Redmond Shannon reports on the panic, the devastation and what made it so difficult for the land to absorb the rain.

The winner of the 2024 U.S. election could come down to just a few thousand votes, as the polls show Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are locked in a virtual tie. Jackson Proskow looks at the beginning of the end of this historic election campaign, how both Trump and Harris are reacting to an unforced error by U.S. President Joe Biden, and the legal drama surrounding the vote in Pennsylvania and Virginia.

While some unhappy federal Liberals have called for a secret ballot on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, it appears the prospect of that vote is on the backburner— at least for now. Mackenzie Gray looks at how the Liberals are instead shifting their focus to fending off the Conservatives.

Plus, it’s something spooktacular: Brayden Jagger Haines introduces the man behind 'Nightmare on Empire Street' in Longueuil, Que.
