Yukon mines minister John Streicker says the Eagle Gold mine disaster has the territory's residents "justly concerned" about the implications of the mining spill on Yukoners' way of life "for generations to come."

The direction also requires the company to come up with a "comprehensive water treatment plan," after the failure of a "heap leach embankment" that resulted in a spill of cyanide solution used in the gold extraction process. Benton Foster, Yukon's director of community health programs, says the recommendation to avoid drinking water or eating fish from the creek is out of "an abundance of caution."Qafzeh needed surgery, but the zoo said it was important to reintroduce him to the group to maintain social bonds.

A sizzling heat wave has sent temperatures in parts of central and southern Europe soaring toward 40 degrees Celsius in some places. From Italy to Romania, authorities warned people to be cautious, drive carefully if going on holiday, drink plenty of water and avoid going out during the hottest hours of the day. Hot temperatures and a muggy air mass in Alberta will fuel a risk for thunderstorms on Wednesday, potentially severe in some locales.
