The World This Hour for 2025/09/18 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. U.S. President Donald Trump is applauding the decision by ABC to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show.

Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad ratings, and they should have fired him a long time ago. So, you know, you can call that free speech or not. He was fired for lack of talent. That's Trump speaking today in Britain, where he's wrapping up his two. two-day state visit. The show has been taken off the air indefinitely. Following comments Kimmel made earlier this week about Charlie Kirk's murder. We had 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 and doing everything they can to score political points from it. The network took the action after a number of ABC affiliates. Let it be known they would not be carrying the show

going forward. At the same time, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission said the comments warranted a possible review of ABC's broadcast license. Among those expressing outrage today is David from. He's the Canadian-born senior editor at the Atlantic. This is not canceled culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here's the script you must read. If you do not read it, you will be taken off the air. Jimmy Kimmel didn't read it. He was taken off the air. The Kimmel suspension follows CBS's decision earlier this year to shut down the late show with Stephen Colbert at the end of the season. Prime Minister Mark Carney is flying to Mexico today for talks with Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum. In the midst of the Trump tariff campaign, it's a visit aimed at renewing the Canadian-Mexican relationship.

Catherine Tunney has more. The last time the leaders of Canada and Mexico matched, Prime Minister Mark Carney walked to away with a soccer ball. A reminder of something that three North American countries can agree on, hosting the World Cup next year. We are totally aligned to get our excitement, enthusiasm. Finding more alignment is the name of the game today, when Carney and Mexican president Claudia Shanebaugh meet face to face. Government officials say the goal of this trip is to expand Canada-Mexico partnerships and security, infrastructure, energy, and of course trade. Flavio Volpe is a of the Prime Minister's Council on Canada-U.S. relations.

It's very important to meet Mexicans face-to-face and say we're co-invested in the future here. A relationship that's never been more important with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement for review. Catherine Tunney, CBC News, Ottawa. Meanwhile, British Columbia Premier, David Eby is in Ottawa with a message for the Prime Minister. He says Mark Carney should look to BC if he's looking for major projects that will expand the Canadian economy. In British Columbia, we have tens of... billions of dollars in projects with private proponents that are ready to go. They need a strong federal partner. And unfortunately, because of this continuing push for this pipeline that doesn't

actually exist in any meaningful way, I'm concerned, those projects may be put in jeopardy by that push. He says that push for a pipeline is entirely political. He says it doesn't have any meaningful private backing or support from coastal First Nations. The Canadian Climate Institute says Canada's short-term emissions goals are out of reach. Canada has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to at least 40% below 2005 levels by the year 2030. But the Institute says the country is nowhere near that target. It says to get there, Canada will need to lower emissions by 40 million tons a year. And the Institute says that would be impossible.

People across Afghanistan are losing access to Wi-Fi. The Taliban is banning all fiber-optic technology. which means no internet for government offices, businesses, homes, or schools. The Taliban says the ban is designed to, quote, prevent immortality. And that is the world this hour. For news anywhere, go to our website. That's cBCNews.ca. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
