The American Network ABC has pulled the late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely. The move came after Kimmel performed a monologue that referenced Charlie Kirk, his alleged killer, and supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump. Steve Futterman reports from Los Angeles. This is the comment on Monday night that led to Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension.

We hit some new lows over the weekend with the Maga Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them. Kimmel never actually says that Charlie Kirk's killer is a member of the MAGA movement, but does suggest that MAGA members are trying to use Kirk's killing to help their cause. Just before last night's taping was to start, ABC said there would be no show. Trump was in the UK when the news broke. He celebrated on social media saying Kimmel has zero talent. ABC's decision came after around 60 affiliates said they would stop carrying Kimmel's show indefinitely. Brendan Carr, the head of the Federal Communications Commission, and a Trump ally says late-night talk shows have changed.

They went from being court gestures that would make fun of everybody in power to being court clerics and enforcing a very narrow political ideology. Steve Futterman, CBC News, Los Angeles. Prime Minister Mark Carney is headed to Mexico today. He'll meet with Mexican President Claudia Shanebaum at the National Palace in Mexico City. The two countries are trying to build stronger trade ties amid the U.S. tariff fight and ahead of the renewal,

of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Well, as the Prime Minister heads to Mexico today, CBC News is learning more about the hunt for a Canadian thought to be hiding in Mexico. Ryan Wedding, once a team Canada Olympian, is listed as one of the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives, and as Thomas Dagler reports, Mexico's president has been under pressure to do more to catch him.

We hope she will soon take action against major narco-traffickers like Ryan Wedding. A senior U.S. government official recently demanding the Mexican president intervene to ensure the arrest of an Ontario-born fugitive. Authorities say Ryan Wedding leads a transnational drug trafficking empire linked to the notorious Sinaloa cartel, all while benefiting from high-level help in Mexico, according to the State Department's Cartwright-Wiland. The cartels and government officials are working in tandem to allow for him to evade capture. Now, CBC News has learned Mexico has assigned

its own federal agents to a task force hunting for wedding. Once an Olympic snowboarder, Wedding has a $10 million bounty on his head as one of the FBI's most wanted. US prosecutors want wedding extradited to face charges related to cocaine trafficking and murder. Thomas Dagg, CBC News, Toronto. A Nova Scotia woman who applied for medical assistance in dying

after years of being denied out of province care is now on the road to recovery. As Angela McIver reports, she recently had surgery paid for by the provincial government. For Jennifer Brady, this flight marks the turning point in a six-year fight for her life. It's been, you know, a constant battle to get here. Brady has lymphedema, a chronic disease that causes fluid build-up in her legs. After being repeatedly denied out-of-provence care by the Nova Scotia Health Department, last May she applied. for medical assistance in dying. Doctors went to bat for her, and then last fall came a major court win.

A judge ruled she was treated unfairly by health officials, clearing the path for surgery in New Jersey this past July, and she no longer wants to die. It's really scary thinking and looking back that I was in such a dark place. Nova Scotia has a new review process for complex cases, and the Auditor General has begun a formal review of out-of-provence care, thanks to Brady's fight. Angela McIver, CBC News, Halifax.

And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Hurland.
