airspace in estonia and romania reporter dominic volitus has more on the rising tensions Estonia says the three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered its airspace without permission and stayed for 12 minutes before finally being forced to withdraw by NATO planes. Estonia's foreign minister, Marcus Sarkner, says the incursion was a very clear provocation. It's clear that Putin has started on a new level testing NATO. Estonia is now the second NATO country this month to request Article 4 consul. nations. Poland did so just 10 days ago. And just this morning, NATO aircraft was scrambled once again after Russia launched airstrikes targeting Western Ukraine near Poland's border.

Canada is expected to recognize a Palestinian state at the United

Nations General Assembly in New York next week. The man who will soon be Canada's UN ambassador spoke to CBC Radio's The House about why that move is coming now and where the Canadian government stands on accusations that Israel is committing genocide. Host of the House, Catherine Cullen, reports. We've seen horrific things happen, both in terms of what Hamas has done and what has been done in Gaza. David Lamede says that is what spurring Canada to recognize a Palestinian

state. A former Justice Minister, now advisor to Mark Carney, in November, he'll become Canada's ambassador to the United Nations. The goal is that we have a Jewish state, Israel. We have a Palestinian state that live side-by-side, insecurity, and peaceful coexistence in which Hamas does not have a role. Conservative leader Pierre Polyev has called this a plan for a Hamas state. Earlier this month, he said his party would never support it. We were obviously not going to recognize Hamas as a state. Well, the NDP wants the Canadian government to do more, including calling Israel's actions a genocide.

This week, a United Nations commissioned panel of inquiry said Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has repeatedly vehemently denied the accusation. Catherine Cullen, CBC News, Ottawa. There's continued fallout to the suspension of American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. U.S. President Donald Trump is defending the head of the U.S. Communications Commission. FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to revoke the broadcast license of Kimmel's Network, which is ABC, a move that Texas Senator Ted Cruz called dangerous.

Trump disagrees. I think Brendan Carr is a courageous person. I think Brendan Carr doesn't like to see the airwaves be used illegally and incorrectly and purposely horribly. I think Brendan Carr is a great American patriot, so I disagree with Ted Cruz on that. During his podcast yesterday, Cruz accused Carr of using what he called mafioso tactics, while Kimmel's suspension has provoked a backlash and concerns about free speech. Cruz's criticism is the sharpest jet to come from a Republican. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fagg.

Thank you.
