The World This Hour for 2025/09/11 at 11:00 EDT

Hugh is a rock climber, a white supremacist, a Jewish neo-Nazi, a spam king, a crypto-billionaire, and then someone killed him. It is truly a mystery. It is truly a case of who done it. Dirtbag Climber, the story of the murder and the many lives of Jesse James. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. The search continues for the suspect wanted in the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was shot and killed yesterday at a university campus in northern Utah. Bo Mason is Utah's public safety commissioner. After the shooting, we were able to track his movements as he fled off of the campus and into a neighborhood. We do have good video footage of this individual. We are not going to release that at this time. The FBI has recovered a rifle, they believe, is the murder weapon. Federal, state, and local authorities are all involved in the search across multiple crime scenes. Police say part of the investigation includes a study of security video that appears to show the suspect wearing dark clothing. Two people were briefly detained yesterday, but both were released with police saying they are not connected to the shooting. Now to today's memorial services, marking the 24th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks on the United States.

Kelly Ann Booms, Canfield D. Boone, Mary Jean Booth. In New York, that's the names of those killed at the World Trade Center being read aloud. Similar memorials were held at the Pentagon in Washington and in Pennsylvania. The terrorist attacks on the United States claimed, just under 3,000 lives, 24 of the victims were Canadian. The federal government calls them nation-building projects, and today Prime Minister Mark Carney is releasing a list of the ones he wants to get started as he looks to move Canada away from its economic reliance on the United States.

And CBC News has obtained a list, a copy of that list. Here's Olivia Stavanovitch. It includes a second phase expansion of LNG Canada's plant in Kittamat, BC. That project would double the production of liquefied natural gas, a new nuclear project in southern Ontario. It would make Canada the first G7 country to have an operational small modular reactor,

developing a new copper and zinc mine in east central Saskatchewan, expansions to the port of Montreal, and the existing red-christ copper mine in northwest BC. In addition to the five projects announced today, Kearney will identify several others that are at an earlier stage of development, including projects of critical minerals, wind power in Atlantic Canada, carbon capture storage in Alberta, an upgrade to the Port of Churchill in northern Manitoba, and the proposed high-speed rail line connecting Toronto to Quebec City. Olivia Estefanovich, CBC News, Edmonton. We're still awaiting specifics from NATO on how it plans to respond to. to Russia and its violation this week of Polish airspace.

It's many as 19 Russian drones crossed into Poland. Chris Brown has more. This morning, Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk visited pilots the squadron that intercepted and shot down the Russian drones. We will ensure that you as Polish pilots are never alone, said Tusk, and our allies fulfill their commitments. But how exactly will NATO respond? So far, there have only been consultations, but across European capitals, the incident is widely seen as Vladimir Putin testing the military alliance, probing for weaknesses, while demonstrating Russian determination to confront the West.

Of Putin may also be testing U.S. President Donald Trump by assessing his willingness to help Europe. And if that's the case, Trump's rather ambivalent sounding social media posts saying, here we go, amounts to a tepid response. and the concern is without forceful pushback, Putin's provocations will only grow bolder.
