Things at the precinct haven't been the same. I know we've been understaffed since Ellis left, but maybe today things will turn around. But now, the most unlikely fare is back on the case. Hey, Max, you miss me? The dream team's back together. Yeah, I guess it is. And on each other's.

Are you going to be able to keep it together on this one? I am nothing if not professed. Wildcards. New season.

in her vehicle while in an altercation with immigration enforcement agents. And in the hours that followed the shooting, two very different perspectives were put forward regarding what happened. Willie Lowry reports. President Donald Trump posted about the incident at least twice on social media, calling the killing justified, and his Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam accused the woman, Renee Nicole Good, of weaponizing her car. This appears as an attempt to kill or she.

to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism. State and local officials, however, are incensed over the Trump administration's characterization of events. Here's Minnesota's lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan. Renee Nicole Good should be alive. She was killed by an ICE agent, and the video footage that we have seen with our own eyes was a very different story from what we're hearing from Christy Nome and Donald Trump. The FBI is investigating the incident at the state level. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal

Apprehension says it too will investigate ICE's use of force and whether any laws were broken. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. After encouraging the people of Colombia to demonstrate against U.S. military action in South America, Colombian President Gustavo Petro had a telephone conversation yesterday with U.S. President Donald Trump. And as Paul Hunter reports, it appears that discussion may have eased some of the tension between the two countries. We spoke on the phone, said Colombian President Gustavo Petro, for an hour or more, describing his surprise call with U.S. President Donald Trump late yesterday. The same Donald Trump, Petro, had recently described as having a senile brain,

part of a verbal cage match between the two leaders in the days prior, but especially since the U.S. under Trump moved in on Venezuela, arresting its president Nicholas Maduro, Trump later seeming to suggest the same could follow in Petro's Colombia. The issue there, said Trump, drug trafficking. Tensions escalated quickly. Now, maybe not so much. In a surprise post on his truth social platform, Trump himself wrote, It was a great honor to speak with the president of Colombia who called to explain the situation of drugs

and other disagreements that we have had. I appreciate his call and tone. Paul Hunter, CBC News, Cucata, Colombia. The Australian government is in the process of calling a Royal Commission in the wake of last month's mass shooting. Fifteen people were killed when two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration. Here's Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. I will be recommending to the Governor General in an Executive Council meeting that will be held tomorrow that a Royal Commission on anti-Semitism and social cohesion be established.

The Royal Commission would operate outside the trial proceedings. 24-year-old Navid Akram is charged with 15 counts of murder and committing a terrorist act. Legendary NHL goaltender, Glenn Hall, has died. You played 502 consecutive games in the NHL. Didn't that ridiculous aid like you worry about your job? I certainly wasn't going to let those kids come in and take my job. I stayed in there. In the CBC interview after his retirement, that's Hall talking about the NHL record he holds

for the most consecutive games played by a goaltender. Between 1955 and 1962, he never missed a start, appearing in 502 straight games. And that was when goaltenders didn't wear face masks. Hall played for Detroit, Chicago, and St. Louis over his 16-year career and earned the nickname Mr. Goalie. Glenn Hall died this week in Stony Plain, Alberta. He was 94 years old.

And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
