What you might have missed

THE NATIONAL	Air safety. Five people died when a turboprop airplane operated by Bearskin Airlines crashed near the airport in Red Lake, Ont., on Sunday evening. Two survivors, a man aged 29 and a woman aged 50, managed to escape the wreckage before it burst into flame. So far, no cause has been determined.
THE GLOBAL	Hamas. Isra Almodallal is the Hamas government’s first female spokesperson in the Gaza Strip. Almodallal, a former journalist, is a moderate voice for an administration attempting to soften its image. Her choice of words is important: she refers to her neighbour as Israel, not a “Zionist entity.”
