The new head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission has resigned from his job before taking up the post. Birju Dattani quit after an investigation found he concealed the fact he posted online comments about Israel under an alias.

And: In Greece, a fast moving wildfire is forcing residents close to the capital Athens to evacuate their homes, as dry and hot conditions are making these fires in southern Europe much more common.

Plus: Residents and businesses from the fire-ravaged resort town of Jasper, Alberta are told they can return on Friday. But some parts of the town do not have water or gas service.
