Before making reservation dogs, Sterlin Harjo was ready to quit the industry. The director credits this nothing-to-lose attitude for allowing him to just let go and swing for the fences, which resulted in him creating the smash-hit TV show. After the series finale, Sterlin moved on to his next big project, The Lowdown. He joined me, Tom Power, to talk about why he wanted to center his new series around truth and journalism at a time when both seem more threatened than ever. Follow Q wherever you get your podcasts, including YouTube. From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. In an address today to the UN General Assembly,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defiantly rejected the growing support among world leaders for a Palestinian state. I have a message for these leaders. When the most savage terrorists on earth are effusively praising your decision, you didn't do something right. You did something wrong, horribly wrong. Your disgraceful decision will encourage terrorism against Jews and against innocent people everywhere.

It will be a mark of shame on all of you. Canada is among a number of countries who have now formally recognized Palestine. As for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Netanyahu is suggesting that if Gazans aren't getting enough food, it's because Hamas is stealing it. Just prior to his speech, dozens of delegates rose from their seats and left the General Assembly Hall in protest. Now to Britain, where Prime Minister Mark Carney is taking part today in a global leaders summit. And while in London, he's also holding talks with his British counterpart. Olivia Stavanovich rewards. Welcome to London.

On the sidelines of a global summit for progressive leaders, Prime Minister Mark Carney received a friendly greeting from United Kingdom Prime Minister Kierre Starmer. The two leaders even exchanged national women's rugby jerseys ahead of Saturday's World Cup final between Canada and England. Okay, very good. Well, it's going to be a great match. While they're cheering for different teams, Carney and Sturmer agreed to advance trade ties

and coordinate their response to global challenges. That includes addressing the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, along with recent Russian incursions into NATO airspace. Senior government officials say Carney will continue to focus on fulfilling Canada's NATO defense commitments and attracting investment in his other meetings with world and business leaders over the next two days.

Canada Post workers are back again on the picket line. The union representing the country's 55,000. postal employees say the strike action is in response to the operational reforms the federal government is proposing for the Crown Corporation. Janice McGregor reports. These two sides are so far apart. It's not clear they can even see each other. And that doesn't bode well for bargaining. And the good faith consideration of new offers a process that before workers walked out last night had been set to resume today. Negotiator Jim Galant said yesterday, the union feels the inquiry that led to these changes was fixed in favor of what

Canada Post's management wants, and that, yes, there have been a few bad years, but there is money to be made without cutting services and delivery standards. But Canada Post has been clear that there is no return to sound finances, maybe no future period for the Postal Service, without a new approach that matches how Canadians actually use postal services in 2025. Minister Joel Lightbound made it clear yesterday that the Federal Treasury cannot afford billion-dollar bailouts to cover the Crown Corporation's losses anymore, as Canada moves into a period of fiscal austerity with serious economic threats ahead. Janice McGregor, CBC News, Ottawa. It's possible we could see former FBI director James Comey make a court appearance today. This after being indicted on two charges related to testimony he gave to Congress in September of 2020.

The charges include issuing a false statement and obstruction of justice, this linked to an investigation into Russian election interference. U.S. President Donald Trump is calling the indictment, justice for America, while Comey says he wants his day in court. My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith. If convicted on the two charges, Comey faces. is up to five years in prison. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
