I'm Neil Hurland. A massive military parade was held in the Chinese capital. President Xi Jinping is hosting leaders from 26 countries, including Russia's Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong-un, In a speech, she had a message that appeared to be directed at the West. Comrades and friends. The Chinese nation is the great nation that is never intimidated by any bullies and always values independence and forges ahead.

And U.S. President Donald Trump reacted on his truth social platform. He says, Give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un, as you conspire against the United States of America. Prime Minister Mark Carney sits down with his cabinet today at a retreat in Toronto. Carney and his team are meeting to plot strategy and set priorities for the fall,

including the return of Parliament with the newly re-elected opposition leader Pierre Pollyev and a federal budget. Tom Perry reports. At a nondescript hotel on the northern edge of Toronto where multi-lane thoroughfares funneled traffic onto the 401, Canada's busiest highway. Mark Carney sits down with his cabinet today to map out the road ahead. I can tell you that the Prime Minister is focused on the speed of delivery.

Families Minister Patty Heidu expects the two-day session to focus on the government's top priorities, how to offset the impact of U.S. tariffs. Polster David Colletto with Abacus Data says Canadians want results, especially when it comes to Canada-U.S. relations. Well, I think the focus really is on why they were elected, and that was to deal with Donald Trump. So that remains, I think, a priority. It should be a priority for the government.

This meeting comes as the liberal government continues work on a budget expected to include some significant belt tightening. And as Carney prepares to once again go toe to toe with conservative leader Pierre Pollyev. Tom Perry, CBC News, Toronto. A California jury has found rapper Cardi B not line in a civil lawsuit.

Yes. Yes. The jury members each confirming their decision. A security guard named Emanieli alleged that Cardi cut her face with a fingernail and spat on her in a medical office. Cardi B spoke outside the courthouse. I did not touch that woman. I did not touch that girl. I didn't lay my hands on that girl.

And with that being said, this time around I'm going to be nice. The next person that tried to do a frivolous lawsuit against me, I'm going to counter suit, and I'm going to make you pay. The jury decision was unanimous. While your morning coffee could have an extra kick soon, Starbucks will soon start offering protein to its drinks, something Tim Hortons is already selling. But as Denise Haydari reports, it's a health trend some experts say is really about money. Starbucks won't say what their new protein products will cost at the end of the month.

But Tim Hortons is already charging extra for protein lattes. Retail analyst Bruce Winder says the companies could be brewing profit. They've realized there's a big market there. Supposedly the market's about a $2 billion market, and it's growing about 7% a year. But a protein latte may not make nutritional sense, says Melissa Fernandez, a dietitian and associate professor at the University of Ottawa. We see the food companies creating products

and responding to consumer demand for protein. But at the source of the consumer demand is, often a lot of misinformation. She says that misinformation includes the popular assumption that you should be eating one gram of protein per pound of body weight, but... Whether you're going to drink a latte that has 28 grams of protein, or are you going to drink a latte that has 8 grams of protein, that's not going to have a huge overall impact on your health. So more protein in your coffee could just mean less money in your wallet. Any Cidari, CBC News, Calgary.
