The CBC's Julia Chapman has more.

You'll sue them for anywhere between a billion and $5 billion. Donald Trump says he feels an obligation to take legal action against the BBC. In a documentary last year, it combined parts of a Trump speech on the day of the Capitol riots. The BBC says it regrets how the film was edited, giving an impression of a direct call to violence. Two of the corporation's bosses have stepped down, and an apology was sent to the president. But Trump says that doesn't go far enough. The legal battle could be very expensive for the BBC. The organisation is funded by an annual fee paid by members of the British public.

Craig Oliver is a former BBC editor. The reputation of the BBC is continuing to take major hits. Trump says he'll speak to the British Prime Minister over the weekend. He claims Kier Starrmer is embarrassed by the scandal. But Trump seems determined to make the BBC pay for its mistake. Julia Chapman, CBC News, London. Meanwhile, Trump's backtracking on some food tariffs, signing an executive order to get rid of reciprocal levies on certain imports,

including beef coffee and tropical fruit. It's in response to pressure from U.S. consumers who are complaining prices are too high.

Ukraine says Russia has been intensifying its attacks on the country's railway system, causing over a billion dollars in damage. The minister responsible for infrastructure says those attacks have tripled over the last three months.

The country's deputy prime minister says the Kremlin wants to destroy rail links to the front lines and demoralized civilians. Dominic Volaitis has more. Ukrainian officials say Russian attacks on the country's railway system have increased threefold since the summer. In all, around 800 attacks have been recorded since the beginning of this year, causing more than a billion dollars of damage. Ukraine's rail network is essential for travel, exports, military logistics and deliveries of foreign aid. But Kiev says Russian forces are increasingly targeting trains and their drivers too, using high-precision shaheed drones to hit individual locomotives.

Their slow speeds and predictable routes, making them easy targets. Ukraine is now installing its trains with counter-dron systems and training railway staff in air defence. And although tracks and infrastructure can be repaired relatively quickly, the authorities say the loss of locomotives poses a longer-term challenge. Dominic Velizes for CBC News, Bristol, England. In Argentina, a series of explosions at an industrial park outside of Buenos Aires has sent at least 22 people to hospital.

Fire crews trying to knock down the flame. Several companies are in the area, including those making tires and chemical products. At least five factories were hit by the blast. Authorities don't know what set off the explosions. They do expect it will take hours to get the fire under control. Well, it's the final day of preparations for both teams at this year's Grey Cup in Winnipeg. The favorite Saskatchewan Rough Riders and Montreal Alouettes will have their final walkthroughs at Princess Auto Stadium today.
