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 capital 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

Meanwhile, Trump is 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 a response to pressure from U.S. consumers who complain prices are too high. Voters cited economic concerns as their top issue in off-year elections earlier this month. 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 weeks. And 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 big, billion dollars of damage. Ukraine's rail network is essential for travel, exports, military logistics and deliveries of foreign aid.

Their slow speeds and predictable routes, making them easy targets. Ukraine is now installing its trains with counter-drone 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 Velizers for CBC News, Bristol, England. Iran confirms this morning that it seized a commercial oil tanker in the critical strait of Hormuz. The Marshall Islands flagship, the Talarra, was intercepted yesterday. Iran's revolutionary guard claims the seizure was due to violations, though the move is seen as retaliation following the recent war with Israel and U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The incident raises immediate global concern as the Strait of Hormuz is the choke point for 20 percent of the world's oil shipments. Well, it's the final day of preparations for both teams at this year's Great Cup in Winnipeg.

The favored Saskatchewan rough riders in Montreal Alouettes will walk through their final practices at Princess Auto Stadium today.
