Between blasts of rockets and mortar fire, Syrians used loudspeakers to call for blood donations and medical supplies in the city of Homs. One activist, who goes by the name Danny, has been risking his life to get the international community to pay attention. Tonight, we speak with his mother about Homs, and the dangers her son faces.

And - thousands of Syrians have been wounded in this uprising, but many are afraid to go to a hospital, worrying that they will be arrested or tortured. We'll talk to a Syrian-American doctor tonight about whether the Assad regime is using medicine as a weapon.

Plus, three Canadians were rescued at sea after a storm left their boat badly damaged about about 450 km from Hawaii. Edmonton brothers Mitchell and Bradley James, and Bradley's nine-year-old son Wesley were travelling from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to Hilo on a sailboat when they ran into trouble. Tonight Bradley James tells his side story.

And when Robert Pickton was interrogated by police in 2000, one cop who was on the case knew he was lying. Retired RCMP officer Mike Connor has been testifying at the ongoing Missing Women's Inquiry. And he continues to be haunted by the frustration of knowing he "failed to put the bad guy in jail". He speaks with us tonight.

Tune in tonight at 8 p.m. ET on CBC News Network.

RCMP have confirmed one man was found dead in a Killam, Alta.-area home Wednesday a day after a shootout with police. The other suspect is still at large. Two RCMP officers were wounded in an exchange of gunfire at the house yesterday. We'll bring you the latest developments on this story tonight. And we're looking at the dangers police face in patrolling rural Canada.

The violence in Syria is escalating for the fifth say in a row. We'll take you inside Homs with a citizen journalist who's risking his own life to get the message out. And we'll ask: should the west arm the Syrian rebels who are trying to topple the Assad regime?

Plus, three Republican contests were held last night, and Rick Santorum won them all. But does last night's hat trick signify a Santorum surge? Or is it another sign of an anti-Mitt Romney movement?

Tonight we're following breaking news out of Alberta. Two RCMP officers have been shot and taken to hospital. We'll have the latest details on that.

And investigators in southwestern Ontario are trying to determine the cause of the deadly crash which killed 10 migrant workers and a Canadian citizen. Three people from the van survived the crash, but suffered serious to life-threatening injuries. We'll have the latest from the scene and we're also talking to one of the first responders on the scene last night.

In Syria, there's no sign of violence slowing down. We'll talk to a Syrian activist inside Homs tonight to find out what's happening there. And we're also asking if the international community doesn't take action in Syria... what message are we sending?

Plus, one of Canada's most famous delis, is rumoured to be going up for sale. What that means for Montreal, and the smoked meat sandwich, tonight.

Tune in at 8 p.m. ET on CBC News Network.
