from cbc news it's the world this hour i'm joe cummings ukrainian president bladimir zolensky delivers an address this morning at the united nations general assembly speech follows what appears to be a major policy shift by u.s president donald trump after months of distancing the united states from the ukrainian war effort Trump says Ukraine is in a position to win back any territory. It has lost since the launch of the Russian invasion three years ago. And in a one-on-one meeting at the UN yesterday, Trump congratulated Zelensky for his country's resilience in fighting off Russian forces.

Last night, Conservative leader, Pierre Polyev, pointed out to his followers that once again, Carney had failed to secure an end or even relief from the tariffs that China had placed on Canadian agri-food exports in retaliation for Canada joining the American push to block Chinese electric vehicle imports. But there is definitely something in the air. When Carney's parliamentary secretary joined Saskatchewan's Premier,

for key talks in China earlier this month. Scott Moe was suggesting that a broader strategy may be in play here that could include, for example, addressing China's energy security needs, offering it perhaps an alternative to Russian gas imports. Carney mentioned clean and conventional energy last night. He talked about Canada's expansion plans for liquefied natural gas. Carney said his foreign and trade ministers would soon be traveling to China. This is all.

to be continued. Janice McGregor, CBC News, Ottawa. Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air. I'm not sure who had a weirder 48 hours. Me or the CEO of Tylenol. It's been overwhelming.

It's part of Kimmel's opening monologue last night, which ran close to 20 minutes. He made a point of saying it was. was never his intention to make light of the murder of Charlie Kirk, which ABC and Disney insist was the reason they shut the show down last week. As for Donald Trump, he posted just prior to Kimmel's return that he's appalled by ABC's decision to bring the show back. And Trump appears to suggest that he'll be taking legal action against ABC. Typhoon Ragasa is now over mainland China. Millions of people have been ordered to flee their homes with a storm delivering extreme winds and heavy. rain. This after it roared across Taiwan earlier this week, claiming at least 17 lives.

Philip LeBlanc has the latest. The scale of destruction in eastern Taiwan has been far worse than anticipated, officials said, after a barrier lake birthed its bank in Hualien County. Some geologists described the breach as a tsunami from the mountains. The water level rose so fast that we spend the night on the second floor of our house, hoping to be rescued, says this woman, who was taken to a city shelter. The super typhoon has now been downgraded to a severe typhoon and his pummeling southern China where close to two million people were evacuated in Guangdong. Hong Kong has also been at a standstill since yesterday. More than 60 people were injured by

strong winds and high waves that crashed on the island. The Southeast Asian nations of Vietnam and Laos are expected to be in the path of the severe typhoon tomorrow. Philippe LeBlanc, CBC News, Taipei. Officials with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency continue to prepare for the call of some 400 hostages on a farm in the BC interior.
