Starting point is 00:00:00 This ascent isn't for everyone. You need grit to climb this high this often. You've got to be an underdog that always over-delivers. You've got to be 6,500 hospital staff, 1,000 doctors, all doing so much with so little. You've got to be Scarborough. Defined by our uphill battle and always striving towards new heights. And you can help us keep climbing.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Donate at lovescarbro.cairbo. from cbic news the world this hour i'm mike miles cop 30 the u.n climate change conference in brazil is ending with a hard one deal but it's one many delegates say lacks ambition and urgency susan armistin has more on what's in the accord and what isn't we know some of you had greater ambitions twelve days of climate talks delivered a weak agreement leaving some countries in in revolt. Panama is deeply disappointed. The COP of the truth cannot support an outcome that ignores science.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Belen struggled with growing calls to tackle transitioning away from fossil fuels. That was agreed to two years ago at the UN conference, but any mention was omitted from this agreement, rejected by large oil-producing countries and developing ones who want to expand their resources. COP30 did agree to triple financial support for vulnerable countries. Hard hit by storms, heat, and drought. It also called for stronger efforts in all countries to bring down emissions. But a lot of delegates left Brazil, underwhelmed by its outcomes.

Starting point is 00:02:09 Across the country, Newfoundland's Darrow Lake is also worried. He owns a poultry farm. It says a lack of rain hurt his ability to grow animal feed for his chickens this winter. Because then you've got to make the decision of do I euthanize the animal because I have no food stocks to feed him? Or do I take a loss and try, again, key word is try, to subsidize, that subsidize, try to secure some hay or some other corn or wheat? Newfoundland has been dealing with dry weather for months.

Starting point is 00:02:46 David E.B. is promoting a plan to expand the capacity on the existing TMX pipeline, adding another 300 to 400,000 barrels of capacity each day. But Alberta Premier Daniel Smith wants more. I believe in Team Canada, and I hope they all do too. This is what Team Canada looks like, that when you've got provinces that don't have access to a shoreline, we cooperate to make sure that we can get our products to market. A lot of people wrap themselves in the flag talking about how much. They support Canada and want to work together.
Starting point is 00:03:15 And then when it comes right down to it, not everybody lives up to that commitment. Smith says a deal with Ottawa is possible in the next few weeks. In Washington, protesters demand. at Donald Trump be removed from office.

This movement is not small. This is not some fringe bad, and it sure as hell isn't quiet. It's the majority of Americans who are tired of being ignored, and we're tired of this administration. Trump's approval ratings have dropped to as low as 38% over the economy and the Epstein files. To Brazil next, where supporters and critics of former President Jair Bolsonaro, clash outside a police station where he's being held. Bolsonaro was arrested Saturday over an alleged
