Who was Elon Musk before he was so loved and so hated? Saved free speech. He created so many different great things. Before the billions, before the rockets, before the never-ending headlines.

From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. Ukraine's allies say they've got concerns about the U.S. plan to end the war with Russia, one that calls on Ukraine to concede territory and abandon its efforts to join NATO. As Karina Roman tells us, this 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 Candice 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-a-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 is congratulating COP 30 participants, who today came out with a compromise deal 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 said he supported the effort at COP before outlining Canada's philosophy on environmental action. We view addressing climate change. change is 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 towards phasing out fossil fuels. A tentative deal has been reached between unionized hospital workers and the Alberta Union of provincial employees announced the deal this morning as its members were gathering on picket lines for what turned out to 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% yearly wage hike for four years. Sandra Azokar is A-U-P-E 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. Donald Trump is calling the resignation of Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green a great day for America. In a social media post, the U.S. president called her Marjorie Trader Brown and said she'd gone bad.

Formerly close political allies, Green said the two split over the issue of releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked in use by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the president of the United States, whom I fought for. Their very public dispute has fueled concerns that Trump's Make America Great Again base could be fracturing ahead of next year's midterm elections. And former Brazilian president, Jare Bolsonaro, was taken into police custody today.

over an alleged plot to escape from house arrest and avoid a 27-year prison term. That's his sentence for leading an attempted coup in 2022. Federal police say his ankle monitor was violated early this morning. It was feared that a large rally planned at his home could be an opportunity for Bolsonaro to attempt to flee just days before he was set to begin his nearly three-decade prison term. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Kate McGilgring.

Thank you.
