North American stock markets witnessed another massive sell-off on Monday as investors grew increasingly worried about the health of the global economy. Tonight we're asking: Is this 2008 all over again?
And, we'll take you live to London where the city is burning for a third night in a row. We're asking what's really behind these riots? Outrage or opportunism?
We're also talking Syria tonight. As the crackdown there continues, more countries condemn the regime. What's it going to take for the violence to stop?
Plus a woman from Nova Scotia is so desperate to lose weight, she wrote her own obituary. Tonight, she'll tell you why.
Tune in at 8 p.m. ET on CBC NN.
