Former Canadian diplomat and international trade attorney Lawrence Herman says everyone is going to have to simply stand by for a determinative decision. Until then, we'll have a lot of uncertainty.

You might call it chaos, but the world will have to await the final views expressed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Several European politicians are criticizing Washington's unprecedented decision to revoke a visa allowing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to travel to New York for a United Nations summit. Irish Foreign Minister, Simon Harris. I'm very concerned about what we've seen overnight in terms of the revoking of visas for Palestinian Authority leaders due to travel to the United Nations. The huge amount of work has been done led by the French and the Saudis to prepare for a conference on a two-state solution. And the idea that the leader of the Palestinian Authority

would be deprived an opportunity to attend that simply isn't acceptable. US authorities say it's denied or revoked visas for over 80 Palestinians. A boss's office says the move violates an agreement requiring the U.S. to allow foreign diplomats to visit the U.N. The town of Kenmore is instituting a first-of-its-kind tax in Alberta, a vacancy tax. People with second homes will pay, and the money will be used to fund the construction of affordable housing. Kenmore Mayor Sean Krausert says they need help to address housing needs. I have said to the Minister and Municipal Affairs that we are not tied to any one solution. If there is another solution that meets our needs to provide this housing that our community desperately needs, then we are open to talking about it.

A study estimates Kenmore needs two more two thousand more housing units by 2035. Kenmore's vacancies that tax survived a court challenge earlier this year, but can't start until 2026. It's anticipated to bring about $10 million a year to be used for affordable housing. The organizers of a multicultural music festival in Ottawa have canceled the two-day event over safety concerns. Ottawa police say they got reports of gunshots into the area Friday afternoon. Organizers decided it to cancel both days for safety reasons. Ahmed Dowd is the booking agent for two acts that were supposed to perform Friday.

Yeah, it's frustrated because a lot of people paid, some people traveled here, they paid for hotel, transportation, and all the preparation and all the security. and for safety reasons, yeah. So that's why everybody's frustrated. When something gets canceled, the day off, it's unfortunate, man. Dozens of acts worse laid it to perform, including Xavier Trudeau, son of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Organizers say they'll providing updates regarding ticket refunds,

and police say they're continuing to investigate. That is your war at this hour. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles. Thank you.
