From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Herland. We're following a mass shooting in Toronto tonight. Six people were shot in the city's north end. One of them is dead. It happened in the Lawrence Heights neighbourhood. Staff Sergeant Behir Sirvandan is with Toronto police. Tragically, a man in his forties pronounced deceased. Four other men and one woman, all adults, transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators are looking for multiple suspects

Canadians in the steel and aluminum industries are now facing double the tariffs from the United States. The Trump administration has confirmed the levies went up to 50% from 25%. As Anis Haydari reports, it's made a bad economic problem even worse. So most of our products are made out of steel or aluminum, so we are affected by tariffs in the U.S. Parag Shah is the president of Toronto's New Age Products. The company makes garage cabinets and outdoor kitchens.

Even before tariffs doubled, he noticed them. There's a lot of uncertainty from the consumer. They are sort of holding off on bigger purchases for their home. But it's not just Canadian businesses that will feel this. The Americans import most of their aluminum, and most of their imports come from Canada. Jim Stamford is an economist and director of the Centre for Future Work. It is Americans who will feel the pain in an immediate way, as well as Canadians.

In Canada, steel industry advocates already pointed out hundreds of job losses were related to the 25 percent tariffs. The exact consequences of 50 percent tariffs are unclear because predictions often rely on consistent policies, which these days they often are not. An East Hadari CBC News, Calgary. An RCMP officer is accusing the police force of sweeping a case of sexual misconduct under the rug. She filed a complaint against a high-ranking officer in 2023, but he won't appear before

a disciplinary hearing because he decided instead to retire. Danielle LeBlanc has more. It just felt completely wrong to me. This woman says she experienced sexual misconduct by senior officer with the RCMP. She works for the force under a federal part-time employment program for university students. CBC News has agreed not to divulge her identity. She says in 2022, she met a staff sergeant who was twice her age. In 2023, after an evening at the RCMP mess, he brought her to his office.

He kind of came on to me and started kissing me and grabbed my leg. She filed a complaint against the officer. He was convened before a conduct hearing last year, where he faced dismissal for sexual misconduct and abuse of authority. But the staff sergeant decided to file for retirement. RCMP Commissioner Mike Zoum says penalties have been strengthened for any inappropriate behavior. Anything to do with sexual assault, sexual harassment, it's not tolerated. The RCMP says 74 employees have retired instead of facing a disciplinary hearing since 2020. Daniel LeBlanc, CBC News, Ottawa. South Korea's new president is now sworn in.

That's Lee Jae-myung taking his oath of office. The liberal politician is South Korea's new president is now sworn in. That's Lee Jae-myung taking his oath of office. The liberal politician is vowing to restart dormant talks with North Korea. Lee won a snap election Tuesday. It was called after the previous leader of South Korea was ousted because he used his powers to declare martial law. An Ottawa public school trustee resigned tonight. Nellie Kaplan-Murth says she faced anti-semitism while sitting on the school board.

My unspokenness about being targeted as a Jew and as an Israeli have made me a particular focus of hate. Kaplan-Murth is a medical doctor who rose to prominence during the COVID pandemic by organizing mass vaccination clinics in Ottawa. She says her public profile made her a target. I am resigning because of the combination of the toxicity from outside of this board and from within this board. Kaplan-Murth clashed with some of her fellow Ottawa school trustees and the board's integrity commissioner sanctioned her last year

for violating the board's code of conduct. And that is Your World This Hour. For news anytime, you can visit our website or at cbcnews.ca. I'm Neal Herland.
