It's been seven weeks since the United States and Israel launched a coordinated bombing campaign against Iran. 
Fareed Zakaria tells Matt Galloway that the US's lack of coherent plan, moral bankruptcy and dubious legal standing in the Iran war have made it and the world more dangerous. 
Tim Hodgson, federal energy and natural resources minister, weighs in on economic uncertainty surrounding the global energy crisis, financial relief for Canadians, building major projects, and the prospect of an Alberta-backed pipeline that is already facing pushback in British Columbia. 
Just days after Ontario announced it had purchased a $28.9 million private jet for Premier Doug Ford, the province is now trying to sell it. 
The decision to buy the jet sparked backlash, with critics calling it tone deaf at a time when many Canadians are struggling with the cost of living. 
But others argue a plane like this could help a leader do their job more effectively, especially in a province as large as Ontario. 
U.S. researchers looked at what happens to drivers on the days that major album releases drop, from artists like Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift. 
And they found that traffic fatalities increased by nearly 15 percent. 
We talk to Dr Vishal Patel of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School about what the findings mean -- and what they can tell us about exactly what distracts us when we're driving.
