>>> U.K. prime minister rishi sunak has called at that 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 wipe-out. Crystal goomansingh has more on in a high-stakes political gamble. >> Reporter: alone, exposed to the elements, any shine rishi sunak may have had almost 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. >> Reporter: 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. >> Reporter: in the aftermath of the brexit vote which led to david cameron's resignation, the U.K. 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. >> Reporter: kier stormer is also a novice in terms of running in a general election. As for his party, labour was last in office in 2010. >> I don't think anyone cares too much. >> I won't vote for either, to be honest. >> I'm guided by doing what is right for your country, not what is easy, and I can't say the same thing for the labour party. >> Reporter: in terms of conservative leaders, sunak is good on paper, but the financiere and oxford graduate has often seemed out of step with the public and his party. >> We certainly need some changes. >> Reporter: why 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 as 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. >> Antony: iranian president ebrahim raisi is being laid to rest today. [ ] raisi's body is being taken to burgeon city for a last ceremony before being buried in his hometown of mossad.

>>> 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 praises, in a will soon be coming to an end. As heidi petracek explains, rapid testing may soon be based on your ability to pay. >> I can only give you one per person. >> Reporter: there used to be lineups for free covid-19 rapid tests. Today, it's no waiting for bill, who picked one up at his local library in halifax. >> If we have been somewhere where we then hear someone else has covid or if we've gotten -- you know, have the sniffles or something, web use the test. >> Reporter: 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 procure many times at this time." new brunswick took that as its cue to stop handing them out when supplies run out. That bothers one epidemiologist, who says rapid test he is should still be part of the plan. >> If we say we're not going to have it anymore, then we're really taking the word "public" out of public health. >> Reporter: other provinces aren't saying much right now about what the plan is. Ontario, for example, would only say through a spokesperson that the ontario 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 that is to improve, and that means that the sensitivity of these tests needs to improve. >> Reporter: 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. >> Antony: so, if your seasonal allergies are worse this year, you're in the alone. >> Sinus, and my throat. That's why I sound all stuffy. >> Antony: well, she's just one of millions of canadians sniffling through a difficult spring allergy season. So, because warm weather is starting earlier, so are allergies, and that is creating a real run on medications at local pharmacies. >> It's the time of year, so the allergen medication is just going to start flying off the shelves for the next little while. I actually have to order a completely new stock. Usually just ends up being nose sprays and anti-his antihistamines. >> Reporter: >> Antony: and you may want to consider a sinus rinse.

>>> Well, a wildlife photographer in montreal captured a stunning showdown between a fox and a goose. Look at this. Alannah bloc says she was photographing birds at montreal's botanical garden last week when she saw a fox trying to catch this canada goose, so she snuck up in some trees and managed to capture this dramatic scene. Who won, you might ask? Well, block says the fox eventually gave up and went off to hunt a squirrel.
