China is hosting a number of world leaders today at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional security summit meant to counter a number of similar Western organizations. Julia Chapman has more. China has rolled out the red carpet for members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, or the SCO. Leaders of Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran and several other countries are gathering in Tianjin. The SCO was formed in 2001. It's an informal grouping focused on security and economic ties. And its members often use these events to air grievances about the West.

The overriding theme this year, tariffs. On Wednesday, the U.S. hit India with 50% tariffs, punishment for buying Russian oil. Today, China's Xi Jinping and India's Narendra Modi sat down for a rare meeting. Beijing and New Delhi have a tense relationship because of border disputes. Vladimir Putin is also attending the summit. He won't come under any criticism for the war in Ukraine from fellow SCO members. Julia Chapman, CBC News, London. In Barcelona.

A crowd ringing bells and cheering as Greta Toonberg and a group of prominent pro-Palestinian activists set sail for Gaza today, hoping to break Israel's blockade of the occupied territory. The Israeli government says the aid ship is a prop-gaganda stunt to support Hamas, something Toonberg denies. This story is not at all about the mission that we are about to embark. The story here is about Palestine. The story here is.

is how people are being deliberately deprived of the very basic means to survive. This isn't the group's first attempt. Toonberg was arrested by the Israeli Navy in June for attempting the same voyage. U.S. President Donald Trump's trade advisor, Peter Navarro, doesn't like that a federal appeals court ruled most of Trump's tariffs unconstitutional. But speaking to Fox News, Navarro says they're not too worried. It was a bad decision, but the good news is the dissent was very, very strong. it provides a very clear roadmap to how the Supreme Court can certainly rule in our

favor. We feel very optimistic. The court delayed the imposition of the ruling until October 14th pending an appeal to the Supreme Court, meaning for now a 35 percent tariff on Canadian goods not covered by the Kisman Trade Agreement stays in place. In Australia, thousands of anti-migrant protesters clashed with counter-protesters in the streets of Melbourne. Ozzy! Roy! Police used pepper spray to break up fights. Large antique migrant rallies were held in cities across the country. The Australian government denounced the protest,

saying they were linked to neo-Nazis and were designed to spread hate. That is your war this hour. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles. Thank you.
