Global National: April 8, 2024 | Total solar eclipse mesmerizes millions in Canada

In the top story tonight, the total solar eclipse mesmerized millions of people in Canada, giving them the chance to see the moon completely obscure the sun, which briefly plunged their day into darkness. Jeff Semple reports from Niagara Falls, Ont., which was in the eclipse's path of totality and spoke with enthusiasts about what they thought of the rare celestial event. While eclipse chasers always hope for a cloudless sky during the rare event, retired New Brunswick scientist David Hunter devised a way for enthusiasts to see one regardless of weather conditions or location. Heidi Petracek reports on how Hunter provided people a view from far above of the total solar eclipse. New CSIS documents have come to light at the public inquiry into alleged foreign interference in Canada's electoral processes. As David Akin explains, the redacted papers detail briefings given to senior officials in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office after Global News and The Globe and Mail first reported of allegations of foreign interference by China. Nicaragua is asking the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to stop Germany's supply of weapons to Israel, arguing Germany is enabling acts of genocide and breaching humanitarian law. Redmond Shannon explains what's behind Germany's support of Israel and what comes next in the ICJ case. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pledging $8.1 billion in new defence spending over the next five years, as part of a larger $73 billion spending plan through the next two decades. Mercedes Stephenson explains how that money will be spent in the face of new threats and how this cash still falls short of NATO's spending targets. Plus, seeing the total solar eclipse in-person depended on more than its path of totality, as weather conditions played a key role in getting the best view. Eric Sorensen moonlights as an eclipse chaser for a day, road-tripping through eastern Ontario to experience the extraordinary event.
