Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Shanebaum have agreed to deepen ties between Canada and Mexico, as both countries deal with the uncertainty of a second Donald Trump presidency in the U.S.

Catherine Tunney has more from Mexico. Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling it a new era of Canada-Mexico ties, one with an elevated trading relationship, and better communication with his counterpart, Mexican president Claudia Shanebaum. Today, the leaders sketched out an action plan with a promise to look at building up infrastructure like maritime ports, sees on untapped investment opportunities in sectors like agriculture and critical minerals, and work on security issues. The agreement we have today between our two nations

complements Kuzma in English, T.M. in French, it complements that agreement. That agreement, of course, comes up for review next year. Standing side by side, Carney and Chainbaum vowed publicly they'll work together, heading into possible negotiations and not let the U.S. President put a wedge between them. Catherine Tunney, CBC News, Mexico City. Mark Carney has appointed David Lamedi as Canada's next ambassador to the U.N.

Lamedi is a former Justice Minister and until recently, Carney's principal secretary. He would place former liberal leader, Bob Ray, who's held the role since 2020. It is a political firestorm sparked by the outster of a popular American TV personality. Supporters of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel say the abrupt suspension of his show is blatant censorship. The Trump administration argues the move was long overdue. Paul Hunter reports. Under apparent immediate pressure from the U.S. broadcast regulator of the FCC, and with word a number of local stations would stop airing the show, Kimmel's Network, ABC, suspended the program indefinitely. In turn, that brought immediate outrage from free speech advocates and Trump critics throughout the U.S., slamming the move, indeed, as a threat to free speech.

How low can they go? Senior Democrat in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, who helped introduce a Democrat. bill to protect free speech, called the pressure put on ABC to push out Kimmel, abhorrent, obnoxious, and repulsive. This is an assault on everything this country has stood for since the Constitution's been signed. On his flight back to the U.S., Trump told reporters, network coverage of his presidency is almost entirely negative, adding, quote, maybe their license should be taken away.

Kimmel himself has yet to comment on any of it. Paul Hunter, CBC News, Washington. Israel's military is recommending that the government stop along humanitarian aid from Jordan, deaths and for Gaza. Two soldiers are dead after being shot by a driver bringing aid through a crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan. The driver was also killed. The military chief of staff says aid should be blocked until an inquiry is finished

and there are new screening procedures for Jordanian drivers. Donald Trump has wrapped up his two-day visit to the UK. Before leaving, he and British Prime Minister Kier Starrmer signed some major business deals. They also sidest up several thorny issues that have strained their transatlantic relationship. Chris Brown reports. Confronting the media was the big test of the visit for two leaders who differ on key issues, notably the war in Gaza. Starrmer has condemned Israel's invasion of Gaza City and says he plans to recognize a Palestinian state next week.

We absolutely agree on the need for peace and a roadmap because the situation in Gaza is intolerable. Trump, who says he's the greatest friend Israel has ever had, rejects a Palestinian state. I have a disagreement with the prime minister on that score. On Ukraine, Trump's friendly relationship with Russia's Vladimir Putin is another contentious point. He's let me down. He's really let me down. But if that's so, why not hit Russia with much harder sanctions? Came the follow-up question, Trump said Europe must stop buying Russian oil first. Chris Brown, CBC News, London.

And that is your world is sour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Kumar.
