The military has been sent in to help stranded residents as premier warns the death toll is set to rise. Plus, big oil's climate denial ads

Good morning.

The military has been deployed in British Columbia after a storm described as a one-in-100-year event" caused devastating flooding and landslides across the same region that suffered a record-breaking heatwave five months ago.

What is the death toll? At least one woman has been confirmed dead, and at least three people are missing.

What about south of the border? Three-quarters of the homes in the Washington border town of Sumas were damaged by flooding.

Why does it matter? The video is key because the prosecution argues it proves that Rittenhouse lied on the stand when he said he did not point his gun at protesters.

This is the second mistrial request judge Bruce Schroeder has heard. Last week, the defense asked for one over what appeared to be out-of-bounds questions asked of Rittenhouse by the chief prosecutor.
