Big Apple’s mayor charged, Hurricane Helene, death toll climbs in Israel-Hezbollah conflict, and more

Corruption allegations in the Big Apple. New York’s mayor is facing unprecedented charges. Federal prosecutors accuse Eric Adams of accepting money from fake donors and taking perks from foreign officials while in office in exchange for political favours. The allegations are rocking the city’s administration.

Also: Hurricane Helene is bearing down on Florida. The storm has powerful winds, but officials are warning the millions of people in its path that the real threats are flooding and storm surges.

And: Both Israel and Hezbollah stepped up their attacks on each other today, pushing aside hopes for a ceasefire. A CBC News team spent the day in Northern Israel near the border with Lebanon, and our Senior International Correspondent is in Beirut.

Plus: Another non-confidence motion in parliament, a Canada Post carrier is suspended for refusing to deliver a flyer, and more.
