That framing of the fallout from the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk led to a group that owns some 200 U.S. TV stations saying they'd stop airing Kimmel. In his show tonight, Colbert speaks about Kimmel. Here's a clip as he first references the FCC's Brendan Carr. This may seem bad, but Carr was quick to reassure everyone posting,

while this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values. Well, you know what my community values are, Buster? Freedom of speech. Stephen Colbert tonight on the Jimmy Kimmel situation. Colbert also calling the whole thing blatant censorship. Paul Hunter, CBC News, Washington.

Among them is an American fugitive. They face multiple charges related to killing eagles on First Nations land in the province. Anne Marie Tricky reports. Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Services has charged five individuals with a combined 34 charges under the Alberta Wildlife Act and nine charges under the criminal code, including

hunting wildlife for which there is no open season and unlawful possession and trafficking of wildlife.

Search warrants also uncovered multiple freshly removed eagle feet with talons and feathers. The Alberta government classifies bald eagles

as a sensitive species and according to Colin Weir of the Alberta Birds of Prey Nature Center, they must be protected.

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 sidesteps 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. Starmer 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, as 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 hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Kumar.
