Typhoon Ragasa, one of the most powerful storms in recent memory, made landfall overnight in Hong Kong and is now making its way into mainland China. Two million people are under evacuation orders, this after the Super Typhoon claimed at least 17 lives earlier this week

in Taiwan. Laura Westbrook has the latest. The world's strongest storm this year lashed Hong Kong with torrential rain and brought hurricane force winds. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled, schools suspended and many businesses closed as people hunkered down waiting for the storm to pass. Flood warnings continue in Taiwan. Heavy rain triggered by Ragasa caused a barrier lake in the eastern county of Hualien to burst its banks, sending water surging into the town. Several people have died. Authorities expect that Ragasa is going to impact tens of millions of people in mainland China. Emergency personnel are on standby and people have been told to stay home.

Laura Westbrook for CBC News, Hong Kong. Alberta gun owners and retailers are angry and the provincial government is saying it will not cooperate. At issue is the federal government's gun buyback program, which looks to take more than 2,000 models out of circulation. Liam Newbigging reports. More than 2,500 assault-style weapons have been banned since 2020. But now some owners will be able to sell those guns to the government before they become illegal to own. A pilot is launching in Nova Scotia,

and a nationwide program is scheduled to come in the months ahead. For some Alberta business owners, the bans have already hurt bottom lines. Edmonton gun store owner Chris Guberski says dealing with just retail buybacks is already a hassle. It was confusing enough for me to do it as a business. So I think it's going to be even more confusing for the public to do it. While Ottawa says the buybacks are voluntary, there will be a hard deadline where owning these guns will become a crime. But the province is saying it'll look the other way. In a joint statement, Alberta Justice Minister Mickey Amory and safety minister Mike Alice said the province will not enforce the bans and direct local law authorities to other priorities.

Liam Newbighing, CBC News, Edmonton. Officials with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency continue to prepare for the cull of 400 hostages on a B.C. farm. This follows an outbreak of avian flu in the herd last December. A wall of hay bales has been constructed at the farm near Edgewood and several people wearing white protective suits can be seen from the highway. The installation of the hay wall followed the arrest of a farm co-owner yesterday, this after she refused to voluntarily leave the ostrich's pen. Officials have not said at this point when the will get underway. Jimmy Kimmel returned to the airwaves last night. I'm not sure who had a weirder 48 hours. Me or the CEO of Tylenol. It's been overwhelming. I've heard from a lot of people over the last six days.

I've heard from all the people in the world over the last six days. Everyone I have ever met has reached out 10 or 11 times. That's part of Kimmel's opening monologue, which ran close to 20 minutes. He made a point of saying it was never his intention. to make light of the murder of Charlie Kirk, which ABC and Disney says was the reason they took his show off the air last week. As for Donald Trump, in a post just prior to Kimmel's return, the U.S. President says he was appalled by ABC's decision to bring back the show

and appear to suggest that he's filing a lawsuit against ABC. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings. Thank you.
