Saudi Arabia's international airport suffers repeated Houthi attacks

The Canadian Press's most watched new upload concerns repeated attacks on Riyadh's international airport, but its viewing shelf also makes room for a distinctly local story: a pumpkin weighing as much as a grand piano.

The airport report uses Associated Press video. Its description says the Saudi-led coalition reported a projectile striking a passenger terminal Sunday, after a missile hit the same terminal the previous day and killed 13 people. The Houthis claimed responsibility for both attacks. That report has the largest audience among the week's new uploads and is also drawing the most daily views of the featured videos.

Two separate uploads cover Pope Leo XIV's announcement that he will undergo surgery to remove a lung lesion. One has drawn an audience close to the airport report's, while the other has had a much smaller opening. The latest international coverage also includes AP footage of waves from Rachel damaging a historic Long Beach boardwalk.

Closer to home, "Meet Pothole, an N.L. man's prized pumpkin" introduces Leslee Lake's enormous gourd in Clarenville. Lake explains his choice of name in the video, and the pumpkin feature is the channel's third-strongest daily draw.

Across the library, the channel added about 1.1 million views over the week, with subscribers unchanged. Its daily viewing is now roughly double its usual pace. Among nearby news channels, 5 News and Guardian Australia had larger weekly viewing gains, while Daily Mail News had a quieter week. For Canadian Press viewers, the distinctive change from its recent parliamentary coverage is the breadth of this new lineup, reaching from Riyadh's passenger terminal to Lake's pumpkin patch.
