Investigators have released a new video of the suspect in the fatal shooting of American activist Charlie Kirk. Police say they're seeking the public's help in finding Kirk's killer and that the FBI has already received some 7,000 tips. Katie Simpson has more from Washington. In the panicked moments after Charlie Kirk was shot, smartphone video captured new clues.

Authorities say the gunman fled, ditching his weapon, which is now in their possession. It is a high-powered bolt-action rifle. Investigators have also collected footwear impression, a palm print and forearm imprints for analysis. FBI director Cash Patel has now arrived in Utah with his deputy. And they've actually just released new video showing the suspect moments after the shooting took place. The suspect is wearing all black on top of the roof. We know the suspect took a shot from an elevated position. And the suspect makes his way across the roof and then lowers himself down onto the ground,

sort of jumping from the top of that one-story building before running and that eventually walking and making his way into that wooded, area where police say he ditched his weapon. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. Political reaction is coming in after Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his first list of big nation building projects. He named five energy and infrastructure projects, said to be fast-tracked and promised a second list by mid-November.

Olivia Stavanovich reports. Well, I can tell you that when I looked at the first five projects, I thought finally they get it. Praise from one of the federal government's staunchest critics, Alberta Premier Daniel Smith, even though Prime Minister Mark Carney didn't include an oil pipeline in his first set of major project recommendations. And I would just ask people to be patient. So we're in a really exciting period where we have a great window of opportunity open.

Manitoba Premier Wab Canoe doesn't have a project on the initial list, but upgrades to the Port of Churchill in his province are on a second list up for consideration. On the other hand, Conservative leader Pierre Pollyev says Carney is moving too slow. This is a bet. Carney says that second batch of major projects will be announced by the Grey Cup in mid-November. He expects the first five projects to generate more than $60 billion. Olivia Stefanovic, CBC News, Edmonton. The National Hockey League says five Canadian players acquitted of sexual assault can play again.

The professional status of Dylan Dubei, Cal Foote, Alex Formington, Carter Hart, and Michael McLeod had been up in the air. They were suspended from the NHL during legal proceedings, but they were all found not guilty earlier this summer in connection to an incident dating back to 2018. The NHL says after careful evaluation, the players will be eligible to sign contracts with teams on October 15th and began play by December 1st. U.S. President Donald Trump says federal immigration enforcement is aimed at what he calls. calls the worst of the worst, violent criminals who are in the country illegally. But as Mike Crawley reports, the latest figures tell a different story. They've become a familiar site on social media in the U.S., videos like this, showing masked, armed officers grabbing suspected illegal immigrants off the streets.

Stop it! They're agents of immigration and customs enforcement. Since Donald Trump's inauguration, the federal agency has ramped up arrests at an unprecedented rate. Kathleen Bush-Joseph is an attorney. at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington. She says ICE's tactics appear less about targeting violent criminals than about boosting arrest numbers. They're going to places where they think there will be lots of unauthorized immigrants

and trying to arrest as many people as they can there. Federal data from May through July show ICE made roughly triple the arrests of the same period last year. The data also show half of those detained have no criminal record or charges. Trump's team had floated the goal of deporting one. million people each year. It's currently on pace for less than one-third of that number in 2025. Mike Crawley, CBC News, Toronto. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Kumar.
