From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Mike Miles. Alberta and Ottawa have signed a sweeping new deal centered on the creation of an oil pipeline to the West Coast. Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Danielle Smith agreed on a memorandum of understanding, offering federal political support for the privately funded project and special environmental exemptions. It's the first step, I think, of what will be, a few more steps we have to take together,

but I'm very pleased that the Prime Minister has heard our concerns and responded to them. Thank you very, well, thank you very much, Premier, and look, it's a great day for Alberta, it's a great day for Canada. Prime Minister Carney got two standing ovation when he addressed the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, after signing that energy deal. But if Premier Daniel Smith's new pipeline, pipeline rather, to the B.C. Coast is to become a reality. A private sector business is going to have to come forward to fund it and build it. Apollo to Hatchik is more.

Before a pipeline can break ground, it needs a private sector proponent. MMO Capital Markets analyst Randy Olinberger says pipeline companies are probably still haunted by the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion. Costs ballooned from an estimated $7.3 billion. to more than $34 billion. I don't think any private sponsor is going to be prepared to just have a blank check. From Ottawa's perspective, there's another box that needs to be checked before a pipeline can move forward, a massive carbon capture and storage project near Cold Lake Alberta.

So far, the oil sands companies behind the Pathways project haven't made a final investment decision, though Michael Bernstein, with the climate think tank clean prosperity, thinks the incentives could push the project toward the starting line. It gets it very close, if not over the line. Still, there are challenges ahead that could derail the Pathways Carbon Capture Project, including opposition from indigenous communities. Paula Duhatchew, Hocke, CBC News, Calgary. The five people hoping to become the new leader of the federal NDP

Less than 15 years ago, new Democrats won most of the seats in Quebec.

Now they hold one, and none of the leadership contenders are fluent in French, candidate Rob Ashton. I guarantee you that I've been working on my en Francais, but I'm going to continue to bust my butt on that. But we're lucky because the language of the language of the French. the working class rises above any language in the world. Leadership hopeful to Neil Johnston. Everybody up here I like to believe that is dedicated to learning the French language.

My adult life has been spent trying to hone my native language of Likola. I really feel the commitment deep to language. The next debate with fellow candidates, Abby Lewis and Tony McQuail, will be in February in English. New Democrats choose their new leader in March. Marina von Stackleberg, CBC News, Gatineau, Quebec. U.S. President Donald Trump, says Sarah Bextram, one of the National Guard members shot Wednesday in Washington, has died from her injuries. An Afghan national is accused of attacking them. He'd worked with U.S. intelligence during the Afghanistan war. Investigators are looking for a motive in the attack. After months of blowing up boats in the Caribbean, the U.S. is stepping up its attacks on drug trafficking from Venezuela.

We've almost stopped. It's about 85 percent stopped by sea. You probably noticed that. People aren't wanting to be delivering by sea, and we'll be starting to stop them by land also. The land is easier, but that's going to start very soon. We'd warn them, stop sending poison to our country. Donald Trump's comments came hours after Venezuelan President Nicola Maduro said his country was ready to defend itself from foreign threats. U.S. military airstrikes have sunk at least 21 alleged drug boat since September, killing at least 83 people. an American aircraft carrier has arrived in the Caribbean. Part of a military buildup Maduro claims is meant to force him from power.

That is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles.
