Here's a look at your national and international headlines. Uk prime minister rishi sunak has called a snap election stunning. Even some members of his own conservative party. So after 14 years in power, the tories, who are trailing in the polls, could face a wipeout. Crystal goomansingh has more on a high stakes political gamble. >> Alone exposed to the elements and he shine. Rishi sunak may have had all but washed away. >> I hope that my work, since I became prime minister shows that we have a plan and are prepared to take bold action necessary for our country to flourish. >> Come july 4th, sunak will face the voting public for the first time in 2022. His party chose him from a list of one. >> Rishi sunak is therefore elected as leader of the conservative party in the aftermath of the brexit vote, which led to david cameron's resignation, the uk has churned through several prime ministers. >> Sunak, the fifth, hopes to hold on to power, but faces opposition. >> We will stop the chaos, time and again. They pursue their own interests rather than tackling the issues that affect your family. >> Keir starmer is also a novice in terms of running in a general election. As for his party, labor was last in office in 2010. >> I don't think anyone who gets voted in really cares too much. >> I won't be voting for either of them, to be honest. >> I'm guided by doing what is right for our country, not what is easy. I can't say the same thing for the labor party. Hello >> In terms of conservative leaders, sunak is good on paper, but the financier and oxford graduate has often seemed out of step with the public and his party. >> We certainly need some changes with an election now, is the question. >> Inflation is nearly at a three year low, but the tory party leader's popularity, well, it's nearly at record lows as well. So in less than two months, all of the party leaders will have to find a way to inspire voters and actually get them to turn up at the polls. Crystal goomansingh "global news" london. >> Iranian president ebrahim raisi is being laid to rest today in the for god and his reyes's body is being taken to birjand city for a last ceremony before being buried in his hometown of mashhad. Thousands of people held placards over iec and waved flags marching in the streets this morning to bid the president farewell. The 63 year old died alongside his foreign minister and six others when their helicopter crashed in the country's mountainous northwest region earlier this week. New data from interpol is confirming that canada ranks in the top ten of the world's worst countries

for auto theft. That's right, the international law enforcement agency says more than 1500 vehicles, for example, stolen in canada, have been identified by police around the world since february. The information comes after the rcmp integrated canada's database for stolen vehicles with interpol earlier this year. The agency says thieves are attracted to canada's abundant supply of high value models, such as suvs and crossovers. Throughout the pandemic, the canadian government spent billions of dollars on more than 800 million covid-19 rapid tests. The bulk of them were given to provinces and territories to distribute in free screening programs. But in many places, that will soon be coming to an end. As heidi petracek explains, rapid testing may soon be based on your ability to pay despite in the box. >> I can only give you one per person. >> There used to be lineups for free covid-19 rapid tests. Today, it's no waiting for bill van gorder, who picked one up at his local library in halifax. >> If we have been somewhere where we then hear someone else has has covid or if we've gotten , you know, have the sniffles or something, we use the test. >> But the days of ottawa sending millions of tests to the provinces are numbered, health canada saying in a statement. Given the current covid-19 outlook, inventory levels and indicated testing demands, the federal government does not anticipate the need for additional federal procurements at this time. New brunswick took that as its cue to announce it will stop handing them out when supplies run out, likely the end of next month. Saskatchewan did the same in february. >> People who are wealthy can continue to buy them. >> That bothers one infection control epidemiologist, who says rapid tests should still be part of the plan and if we say we're not going to have it anymore, then we're really taking the word public out of public health. Nova scotia is planning its next steps, as is alberta, which stresses no decision has been made. Other provinces aren't saying much right now about what the plan is. Ontario, for example, would only say through a spokesperson that the province has tens of millions of rapid antigen tests available to the public and wouldn't say when they expire. But lab based testing by medical referral remains available. And for one expert, is the better tool because rapid tests perform differently for different people. >> The interpretation capacity has to improve, and that means that the sensitivity of these tests needs to improve. >> The experts agree tests need to improve and detect other respiratory viruses like rsv and influenza. That innovation is in the works, likely rendering these obsolete. Heidi petracek "global news" halifax. >> The calgary humane society has found a home for one special surrendered pet this is slippy the turtle. He arrived at the humane society last september. Turns out he's a map turtle, which is a controlled species in alberta and can't be kept as a pet. So after reaching out to numerous organizations, the humane society finally found a home for slippy at the victoria butterfly gardens. After arranging a flight for him to b.c, where map turtles are not a controlled species, he's now settling in at his new home. And that's what's making national and international news.

As caryn lieberman reports, spring allergies have been starting earlier in recent years, and that trend is expected to continue this year. >> The worst the other years were okay with the reactant and that, but this year nothing doesn't seem to want to work. >> Cheryl daycare has tried every allergy medication, but nothing seems to be helping. >> Sinus and my throat. That's why I sound all stuffy. >> The typical seasonal allergy symptoms sneezing, coughing and feeling more miserable than usual are being felt by many. >> All I wish is they'd go away. >> I can't find anything that sorts them out really well. But yeah, everyone's got my sympathies right now. >> About a quarter of canadians suffer from seasonal allergies and if it feels like yours are worse this year, you're not the only one. >> As our warm months start earlier and fall tends to be warm for a bit longer that the overall season where different pollens are going up in the air is extending for longer, and so more people are feeling it. >> There's a lot of pollen in the air. I can get like completely congested where I can't even breathe. >> At victoria commons pharmacy, the allergy medication is flying off the shelves. >> I actually have to order a completely new stock. >> Pharmacist marcos massey says patients have been coming in regularly asking for advice, allergy medication, changing filters in the car or in the house, and sinus rinses, which is essentially a mixture of salt and water to help clean out the sinuses. >> This is a type of condition that can change over time, so your symptoms may have been not so bad long ago and getting worse because our counts are higher. >> Okay, a few simple strategies to keep seasonal allergies under control. >> The first one is obvious. >> Stay indoors if you can on dry and windy days. >> Avoid your gardening chores because they tend to stir up the allergens. And finally, if you've been outside all day, when you get home, remove your clothing and take a shower to rinse your hair and your body of that pollen. I'm going to head indoors right now because I too have been struggling with my seasonal allergies. Throw it back to you in studio. >> You're watching "chex peterborough" the merret precision peterborough jaye lakers are ready to roll. >> The club had a disappointing summer last year, finishing 10th in the ontario junior lacrosse league and missed the playoffs, but the lakers feel they've worked hard during the off season and are expecting a better result this time around. Meaghan roy reports. >> It's the time of year many of these players look forward to rejoining the junior a lakers to play some box lacrosse. >> So I go to school in the us, I go to princeton university, put lacrosse down there every summer. I'm so excited to come back and play for peterborough. Great culture. We got a great team. >> Several athletes on the peterborough junior a lakers play division one lacrosse down in the U.S. and while they could come home and take it easy in the summer months, they choose to go hard for the lakers. >> Yeah, there's obviously a lot of sacrifices that has to be made in the summer, but, you know, I've been playing with all these guys my entire life, ever since I was five, four years old. So you know, even though I'm away at school, I get excited to come back in the summer and getting to see everyone that you know, I get to spend most of the summer with and work with. >> The junior a's are coming off a disappointing 2023 season.
