An emergency is affecting three Northwest Territories communities. residents are being urged to stay indoors while the RCMP search for a gunman. Inuvik's mayor, Peter Clarkson, says the alert was issued after reports

that a woman was shot at the town's airport this afternoon. Until we hear from the RCMP, things are safe to open up again. We're just asking people to shelter in place for their own safety, and then as soon as we hear, the shooter isn't in anuvik or that has been captured, then we'll lift that. The alert covers the communities of Inuvik, Fort McPherson, and Sigacic, which are all connected by the same highway. The RCMP is urging people not to let anyone into their homes and not to disclose police operations on social media. Canada and a group of European allies are set to recognize an independent Palestinian state next week at the United Nations General Assembly.

As Philip Lyshanock reports, Canadian officials say it's the only way to salvage a two-state solution as Israel pushes on with its military takeover of Gaza. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says the deteriorating situation in Gaza is why Canada intends to formally recognize the state of Palestine. Recognition now is extremely important because the viability of a two-state solution is eroding. In a statement, Prime Minister Mark Carney says, said he'll be in New York City for the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. He reiterated that the recognition of Palestine does not mean Canada and its international partners are abandoning Israel, but committing to a two-state solution.

Onondon says the Palestinian Authority knows there are conditions. They are cognizant of the need for hostages to be returned, for Hamas to have no role in the future governance of Palestine. Israel condemned the move saying recognition of a Palestinian state is rewarding Hamas for the October 7th attacks. Philip Lishanak, CBC News, Toronto. A memorial for American conservative activist Charlie Kirk will be held tomorrow at a stadium in Glendale, Arizona, his home state. A number of senior Trump administration officials are expected to attend. Steve Futterman has the latest.

Security is already ramping up. Early this morning, I was able to get right in front of the stadium. Now I've been pushed back behind a security perimeter. No one's being allowed to get inside. Security, of course, is a big concern, especially with Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and other senior members of the administration expected to attend. There have been three Super Bowls here in the past, but Jose Santiago of the Glendale Police says this is quite different.

When you have something like the Super Bowl, we had upwards of two years to plan an event like that. This we had a week to work with. We are basically all hands. on deck. The stadium can hold between 65 and 75,000 in case there's an overflow crowd, an arena across the street will be used. And there could be some protests by groups opposed to Charlie Kirk's politics. Steve Futterman, CBC News, Glendale, Arizona. In Quebec, the COVID-19 vaccine will no longer be free for everyone who wants it. The province is now limiting it to vulnerable people, including those over 65 and pregnant women. Health officials,

shall say a lack of federal funding, and Quebecers' existing level of immunity influence the decision. But virology expert Benoit Barbeau says he's concerned about the impact that the measure will have. Hopefully that the measures will not impact too much our capacity to at least constrain or control whatever transmission or outbreak that might happen during the fall. Quebecers can still get the shot for between $150 and $180. dollars. Meanwhile in Ontario, the province will offer free flu and COVID-19 vaccines as of October 27th. And that is your world this hour.
