The World This Hour for 2025/11/26 at 20:00 EST

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.

It happened in broad daylight near a metro station this afternoon. Rafi Bucci Canyon reports. What we know is that this is a target at shooting.

One individual who appear to target these guardsmen. Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, are speaking to the media just hours after the incident. Authorities say a lone suspect shot two members of the National Guard Wednesday afternoon. Both taken to hospital in critical condition, streets around the area of the shooting blocked off by police for hours. FBI director Cash Patel. We have assembled the full force about the federal and state and local law enforcement agencies. The presence of the National Guard in the U.S. Capitol deployed last August as part of a national crime fighting strategy has been

contentious, even recently deemed illegal by a U.S. District Judge, a decision that's being appealed. In the wake of the shooting, President Donald Trump has asked for 500 more of them on the ground. Rafi Bji Khan, Yon-CBC News, Washington. More than 16 hours after a fire broke out at a Hong Kong housing complex, several buildings are still engulfed and out-of-control flames. At least 44 people have been killed, and Hong Kong police have arrested three men in connection with the fire. Flames tore through several residential buildings in Tai Po that had been undergoing renovations. The men detained are linked to a construction firm.

Senior Superintendent Eileen Chung says a cause isn't known yet, but the use of styrofoam is likely behind the fire's rapid spread. We found that one of the buildings not affected by the fire. We found the styrofoam installed outside the window. Yeah. On each core, near the lift robbery. And everyone's load, this material is insaneable material. Hundreds of people remain missing. There are fears that the number of casualties could climb dramatically, as firefighting rescue efforts continue. A judge has dismissed an election interference case against U.S. President Donald Trump after our request from Georgia prosecutors. The charges stemmed from Trump's efforts to overturn his loss in the state during the 2020 election.

He faced 13 criminal counts, including violating racketeering laws. But the district attorney, who originally brought the case, was removed for having an inappropriate relationship with a prosecutor. The new district attorney asked to have the case dismissed. The federal government in Canada is forging ahead with its plan to protect steel and lumber industries suffering from U.S. tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney says tariff uncertainty will cost around 1.8% of the nation's GDP. That's about $50 billion lost from our economy or the equivalent of $1,300 for every Canadian. And this is happening fast.

It's a rupture, which means that our economic strategy needs to change dramatically and rapidly. To work against that loss, the government has introduced new restrictions on foreign steel. Countries without a free trade agreement with Canada can now only bring in a fraction of what they imported last year. The government will also prioritize Canadian steel and lumber in major projects,

and make them cheaper to move around the country. Over the next two years, the government's pledging $100 million for worker training and income supports. Ottawa's also boosting loans for lumber companies facing cash flow issues. And Environment Canada is changing the way it warns Canadians about the weather. Starting today, general watches and warnings are being replaced by a color-coded system ranked by level of risk. Yellow warnings mean the weather event could be disruptive, while orange means weather could cause significant damage. A red warning suggests your life could be in danger.

Examples of red weather events include Hurricane Fiona in 2022 or the 2024 snowstorm in Cape Breton. Ontarians are getting an early taste of the new system with several orange and yellow level alerts for winter storms in place right now. And that is the world this hour.
