The World This Hour for 2025/09/04 at 07:00 EDT

My group chat thinks I'm the smart one, but I have a cheat code. I take 10 minutes each morning and listen to World Report. Knowing what's happening in the world helps me feel connected and make better informed decisions. But endless doom scrolling is not my idea of fun. So I just listen to World Report on my commute, get informed, and get on with my day. World Report, the day's top stories in 10 minutes, wherever you get your podcasts. from cbc news it's the world this hour i'm joe cummings

we go first to washington where following a petition filed late last night the trump administration is taking its terror fight to the supreme court we have a very very big case in the supreme court i can only say this if we don't win that case our country is going to suffer so greatly so great a plan sir but i i i think think we're going to have a big victory. And is U.S. President Donald Trump, who is asking the court to issue a ruling as quickly as possible. The administration is arguing the president has the right

to continue with his tariff campaign. This after a federal appeals court determined that most of the tariffs issued to date are illegal. Despite that ruling, the court is allowing the tariffs to remain in place for the time being. As for Canada, the tariffs imposed on our exports are not included in Trump's Supreme Court case. Now to Toronto and Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet retreat. Ahead of the resumption of Parliament later this month, this is day two of the government's two-day planning session. Tom Perry reports. We're going to focus on being efficient.

As he kicked off his cabinet meeting yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney leaned hard into a few key issues, promising to bring in a budget that would include investment but also austerity. So we need to rein in spending. We need to find efficiencies. Carney as well, revealing he spoke to U.S. President Donald Trump this week about a wide range of issues, including tariffs and trade. But while Carney was mapping out his government's priorities for the coming months, the reality is that Mark Carney is failing.

Conservative leader Pierre Pahliav was in the Toronto area, taking aim at the prime minister over his budget plans and dealings with the U.S. president. Pauliev, who lost his Ottawa area seat in the last election, we'll be back in the House of Commons when Parliament resumes after winning a safe conservative riding in Alberta in a by-election, the conservative leader looking to challenge the carefully laid plans of Carney and his ministers. Tom Perry, CBC News, Toronto. Officials in Portugal say a Canadian is among the injured in yesterday's finicular crash in Lisbon.

A Canadian's condition is not known at this point and no name has been released. 17 people were killed in the incident that saw the glorious street car derail and crash into a building. This woman calls the incident a tragedy that's not good for the city's image. The glorious street car offers a scenic ride up a steep hill and is a popular tourist attraction. The government says the cause of the crash is still being investigated and today Portugal is observing a national day of mourning. A cult leader who calls herself the Queen of Canada is now in police customs.

Romana Diedelow and her followers have been living in a former school in a Saskatchewan village about three hours west of Regina. The RCMP carried out a raid yesterday and arrested 16 adults. Jeffrey Tram has the details. Leave the phone down. You're under arrest. All right. She calls herself the Queen of Canada, and now she's in police custody. Romano Diedelow's arrest was captured by her phone in a live stream. Diedelow was one of 16 adults taken by Saskatchewan RCMP.

after they received the report of a firearm, Diedelow and her followers have been in Saskatchewan for two years. Her group stems from a larger QAnon movement. Christine Sartesky is an expert on cults at Chatham University. The idea of QAnon has evolved over the years, but it's essentially people who believe that there is a group of secret people who are running the government. Sartesky says followers of the Saskatchewan cult believe Diedelow is the ultimate authority.

She is effectively the supreme ruler of all the land. RCMP won't confirm if the 15 others taken into custody with Dietolo are followers. They say the investigation is in its early stages.
