US President Donald Trump is bringing back a controversial policy from his first term. This time Trump is announcing a travel ban on citizens of 12 countries. Steve Futterman has details. Trump's order is reminiscent of a similar travel ban during his first term. Very simply we cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter the United

States. For 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, the travel ban is nearly total. Seven other countries will have a partial ban, including Cuba, Laos, and Venezuela. In the 21st century, we've seen one terror attack after another carried out by foreign visa overstayers from dangerous places all over the world. 21st century, we've seen one terror attack after another carried out by foreign visa overstayers from dangerous places all over the world. There are likely to be challenges in the courts, but Trump's first travel ban in 2017 was generally

upheld. The Trump order specifically exempts athletes and coaches taking part in next year's World Cup soccer tournament and the 2028 Olympics. The ban is set to take effect on Monday. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles. Tributes are pouring in following the death of Mark Garneau. Prime Minister Mark Carney called him a naval officer, a history-making astronaut, and a public servant of exceptional distinction who brought dedication and duty to every post he held.

His family confirmed his death Wednesday evening following a short illness. Kate McKenna has more. He really had a devotion to, not that we didn't have a devotion to Canada, but his was different. Canadian astronaut Roberta Bonder says for her former colleague Mark Garneau, it was always about Canada. For Mark, it was not just him showing Canadians that we had a place and a role in Canada in the space program, but it was also really to show the Americans that we had not just the talent of a Canada, but we had people who could back it up. As Canada's first astronaut to go to space, Garneau is being remembered as a trailblazer.

The man was a giant. He left a mark on his former colleague, Liberal MP James Maloney. From 2008 until 2023, Garnot was an MP for a Montreal area riding, serving in Justin Trudeau's cabinet as Minister of Transport and Foreign Affairs. Others paying tribute on social media include astronaut Chris Hadfield, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Governor General Mary Simon, a testament to a life that Gurnot himself described as a most extraordinary ride. Kate McKenna, CBC News, Ottawa. The National Indigenous Fire Safety Council is holding prevention events during National Indigenous History Month. The goal is to make sure people

in First Nations are well informed about fire safety. Kobino Douro has more. I'll feel a lot better. Laura McCumber now has a brand new smoke detector in her home in Ganaugay, south of Montreal. Manufacturer Kidei is donating thousands of the alarms to First Nations communities across the country. Firefighter Brandon Chubbie is helping install them here. I am noticing a bit of a lack of smoke detectors in homes. Most of the firefighting team here is made up of volunteers in the community of about 8,000 people.

They say they respond to about 100 fire calls a year. According to the National Indigenous Fire Safety Council, Indigenous peoples make up 5% of the population in Canada, but 20% of deaths related to residential fires. Guanajuague Fire Brigade Chief Wheezy Stacey says a lot of the calls they respond to are to their own families. I spend a lot of my time trying to educate people on why being prepared is important. The members of the fire brigade say they hope that these smoke detectors will help them keep people safe by getting them out in time. Cubino Duro, CBC News, Guanajuahue.
