From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Claude Fague. A 30-year-old Vancouver man has been arrested after crashing his vehicle into the front doors of the Pacific Coliseum last

night. According to police, the man crashed the vehicle as a Cirque du Soleil performance was underway. No injuries were reported. The man was detained by security and later arrested. Police do not believe it was an act of terrorism. Donald Trump's latest steel tariffs are causing more economic uncertainty. Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney have held private discussions to try and get a deal done. CBC reporter Hallie Cottenham spent time in Lorneal, Ontario. Population

1,400 steel tariffs there have already caused layoffs at the Ivaco Rolling Mill and now with a 50% tariff workers and residents are worried there will be more. The Ivaco Rolling Mill takes scrap metal and pig iron and turns it into steel used in manufacturing and construction. It employs 500 people, by far the biggest employer in this rural part of Eastern Ontario. But when the 25% tariff was applied earlier this spring, 150 jobs were affected. Now a 50% tariff. In this small town, everyone knows someone at the mill. A local garage does a lot of work for Ivaco. Owner Guillaume Lantio says most local businesses are interconnected.

The company didn't immediately respond to a CBC request for an update, but industry lobbyists and politicians are stepping up the pressure in Ottawa and Washington, calling for a deal that would reduce or eliminate tariffs and provide support for workers like those at Ivako. Hallie Cotnum, CBC News, Lorignal, Ontario. Canada and China held talks Thursday. The PMO's office confirms that Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with the Premier of China, Li Zhong. The pair

discussed trade along with bilateral relations and better communication channels between the two nations. Carney also raised concerns about China's tariffs affecting agriculture and agri-food products including canola and seafood. Russia has launched another large-scale attack in Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia fired more than 400 drones and 40 missiles early Friday morning with multiple explosions heard in the capital of Kiev. Kiev's mayor says four people were killed in the strikes, with 20 others injured. There's new research about a potential side effect of hugely popular GLP-1 drugs, including

ozempic. Allison Northcott explains. A new Canadian study published in the Journal of American Medical Association Ophthalmology looked at a group of nearly 140,000 Ontarians 66 and over with type 2 diabetes. It found those who used GLP-1 type drugs to treat their conditions were twice as likely to develop a type of vision problem than patients who did not use the drugs. While the study says the overall risk is still low, it adds to other studies suggesting other links to eye issues. Dr. Rajiv Muni is an associate professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision

Sciences at the University of Toronto and the study's author. I would hope that patients and doctors who are prescribing these drugs would be aware of this and if their patient is complaining of any change in their vision, including wavy lines, distortion, reduced vision, that they would inform their doctor and then be seen by an eye care professional. Allison Northcott, CBC News, Montreal. To Oklahoma City in the NBA finals. SBA on the spin. It's in the paint. LePan and off the glass. Another sweet move

from Gildes Alexander. Hamilton, Ontario native Shea Gildes Alexander scored 38 points. His thunder led by as many as 15 in the fourth quarter, but the Indiana Pacers came back to score a 111-110 victory over the Thunder, grabbing a 1-0

series lead. Game two is back in Oklahoma City Sunday night. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fague.
