From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. Ukraine's allies say they have concerns about the U.S. plan to end its war with Russia, one that calls on Ukraine to concede territory and abandon its efforts to join NATO. As Karina Roman tells us, the proposal is being hotly discussed on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Johannesburg this weekend. 11 countries, including the UK, France, Germany and Canada, as well as the European, Commission and the European Council discussed how to secure a full ceasefire and meaningful peace negotiations. And they discussed how this leaked proposed peace deal by the U.S. contributes

or not to that goal. Now, the leaders say the plan is a basis for talks to end Russia's war on Ukraine, but it needs, quote, additional work. There are great concerns here about the deal seeming very much aligned with what Russia wants. And Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, Anita Anand, who's here, says that's just one reason the plan needs more work. Let's go back to the core values that drive the foreign policy of our country vis-à-vis Ukraine, and that foreign policy rests on the territorial integrity of Ukraine in particular and the respecting of the geographical boundaries. Karina Roman, CBC News, Johannesburg.

From South Africa, Mark Carney's congratulating COP 30, who today came out with a compromise deals after days of tense and chaotic discussions. It promises to give more money to poorer countries bearing the brunt of climate change, but makes no mention of the fossil fuels driving it. Today, the Prime Minister says he supports the effort at COP before outlining Canada's philosophy on environmental action. We view addressing climate change as a moral duty, but also a commercial imperative, as Prime Minister Albanese just intimated.

So our strategy on reducing emissions is a climate competitiveness strategy because it will make our businesses stronger. The new COP 30 deal is being criticized by a number of participating countries as well as environmental groups for its failure to nail down a roadmap to phasing out the use of fossil fuels. A tentative deal has been reached between unionized hospital workers and the Alberta government. The Alberta Union and provincial employees announced the deal this morning

as its members were gathering on picket lines for what turned out to be be a short-lived strike. The union said it didn't get 100% of what it was asking for, but it did get enough, including a 3% a year wage hike for four years. Sandra Azokar is the AUPE president. What this agreement proves is simple. When members are willing to speak up, when they refuse to back down from what is fair and what is just, we can make gains, some real gains. The AUPE represents about 16,000 Alberta hospital workers, including licensed practical nurses and health care aides. And one person was killed and two others at are in hospital after getting hit by a train in the Montreal area overnight. They were on the tracks of the regional light rail system.

Quabina Oduro has the latest. Police say that three men crossed over Highway 10 and hopped over a fence to get onto the REM tracks. When they reached the REM tracks, there was an oncoming train. But the men continued to try and get to where they were going and were unfortunately hit by the train. A 19-year-old man was pronounced dead on scene. Another 19-year-old man is out of danger and a 22-year-old man is still in hospital in the critical condition. Police say that they are investigating what exactly happened and they are trying to talk to potential witnesses. REM officials say that their stations are all fenced off for a reason.

They say they don't know why the train was running at the train. 3 a.m. But they say that this is not unheard of because the trains do sometimes go through maintenance or testing on off-hour times. Remofficials say that they are cooperating with investigators to try and figure out what

exactly happened. Cubino Ruro CBC News, Broussard. And that is the world this hour. Get the latest headlines anytime on our website at cbcnews.ca. For CBC News, I'm Kate McGilfrey. Thank you.
