From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Herland. Canada's premiers are bracing for Donald Trump's return to the White House

and his threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods entering the US. As Tom Perry reports, the premiers of Alberta and Ontario are expressing different views on how Canada should respond. I think we need to be prepared that tariffs are coming. After meeting incoming US President Donald Trump over the weekend, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Trump's threat of tariffs is real. The federal government says all options are on the table for retaliation, but Smith says Alberta won't stand for any limits on shipments of its oil and gas to the U.S. They will have a national unity crisis on their hands at the same time as having a crisis

with our U.S. trade partners. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Canada must stand up for its interests and can't rule anything out. We have to use all the tools possible when our country's under attack. You just don't roll over. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with premiers this week to discuss just how far his government is prepared to go if Trump makes good on his threat. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. Mark Carney will appear on the American late night program The Daily Show with

John Stewart tonight. The former Bank of Canada governor is expected to join the Liberal Party leadership race.

The call came in just after 1030 in the morning. A new fire, smoke spotted between Santa Clarita and Acton. Quebec pilot Pascal Duclos rushes into the cockpit of his bright yellow Super Scooper aircraft at the Van Nuys airport.

Another mission on a deployment to Los Angeles like no others. We're all pretty tired, exhausted and a little nervous right now. Over the weekend, crews made good progress on the two largest fires burning in Los Angeles. But everyone is worried about what comes next. Santa Ana winds forecast to pick up with gusts up to 112 km an hour. Fear of fire in a city just coming to grips with how much has been lost. More than 12,000 structures, many of them homes, gone. Lindsay Duncombe, CBC News, Los Angeles.

Israel says it's waiting to hear from the Palestinian militant group Hamas on a possible ceasefire deal in Gaza. The government of Qatar says a draft agreement has been sent to the two sides after a breakthrough in talks. Gideon Saar is Israel's foreign minister. He says a deal would include the release of some hostages held by the militants. We see some progress in the negotiations. Israel wants a hostage deal.

Israel is working with our American friends in order to achieve a hostage deal. And soon we will know whether the other side wants the same thing. And Joe Biden says the Gaza deal is close. He summed up his foreign policy accomplishments today in one of his last speeches as president. Our adversaries are weaker than where we came into this job four years ago. Just consider Russia. Our adversaries are weaker than where we came into this job four years ago. Just consider Russia. When Putin invaded Ukraine, he thought he'd conquer Kiev in a matter of days.

The truth is, since that war began, I'm the only one that stood in the center of Kiev, not him. Biden says the U.S. is in a better strategic position to tackle threats from Iran and China than it was four years ago. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Herland.
