Israel targets Hezbollah HQ in Beirut, Hurricane Helene aftermath, worst season in baseball, and more

Israel strikes a Beirut suburb saying it is targeting Hezbollah’s headquarters. The strikes destroyed several buildings. Multiple people are dead. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was reported to be the target. It is unclear whether Nasrallah is dead or alive.

And: Hurricane Helene left a path of destruction across the southern United States. From the hard-hit Florida Panhandle to North Carolina, homes are destroyed, entire neighbourhoods underwater, millions without power, and at least 30 people dead.

Also: Baseball’s long regular season sets it apart from other sports. And 162 games can feel even longer when you lose most of them. With 120 losses, the Chicago White Sox have tied for one the worst seasons in modern baseball history -- and it isn’t over yet.

Plus: Tributes pour in for Maggie Smith, independent candidates with familiar names in B.C.’s election, Canadian women filmmakers… and more.
