Watch free on CBC Gym. from cbc news it's the world this hour i'm joe cummings the day after 37-year-old rene good was shot and killed in an altercation with ice agents demonstrators are still on the streets of minneapolis once the protesters demanding an end to the ice deployment in the city. They're also demanding accountability after the head of homeland security

referred to Renee Good as a domestic terrorist. And that call for accountability is also being made across multiple levels of government. Willie Lowry reports. State and local officials are incensed over the Trump administration's characterization of events and the loss of life. 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 has a very different story from what we're hearing from Christy Knoem and Donald Trump. The FBI is investigating the incident here in Washington Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been saying the masked ice agent who pulled the trigger should be

criminally investigated to the full extent of the law. That's a sentiment shared by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye, who is demanding immigration and customs enforcement officers leave the city. At the state level, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it too will investigate ICE's use of force. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump says it is not clear at this point how long the United States will maintain its oversight of Venezuela. But in an interview with the New York Times, he's saying it could last longer than a year. And he says Venezuela's interim president, Delci Rodriguez,

to offer the White House her full cooperation. Still with the Trump administration, it has announced it is withdrawing the United States for more than 60 international organizations, treaties, and UN bodies. John Northcott explains. The pullout from many organizations, commissions and panels, is extensive. From climate to labor and migration. Many are affiliated with the UN, but there are other international bodies as well. There are both explicit and implicit reasons for doing this.

The Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement saying these organizations were, quote, redundant, mismanaged, unnecessary, and wasteful, going on to say that they are a threat to U.S. sovereignty, freedoms, and prosperity. Implicitly, within days of capturing Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro, continuing to seize oil tankers around the world and threatening Greenland sovereignty, all of this indicates the U.S. is increasingly going it alone when it comes to international obligations. A member of a U.S.-based non-profit advocacy group, the Union for Concerned Scientists, described this latest move as a new low. John Northcott, CBC News, Toronto. It's estimated that more than 900,000 Canadians are currently taking a GLP1 drug like OZMPIC for either weight loss or obesity. But the question is, what happens when these people stop taking that medication? Jennifer Lagasse has more.

It just wasn't good enough. Months after starting Ozempic, Heather White quit cold turkey. The Toronto residents said side effects, nausea and digestive issues were too much. And she's not the only one to ditch the meds. Around 50% of people are discontinuing treatment within 12 months of starting. Sam West is the lead author of new research published in the British Medical Journal. It found that people who stopped taking a weight loss drug regain the weight, returning to their original size in less than two years.

Certain health benefits from the drugs like lower blood pressure were also reversed when people got off. Sonia Rikert is a family doctor in London, Ontario. She says people are often surprised to hear that weight loss drugs are a lifelong commitment. Obesity is a chronic disease. One major drawback, majority of the studies in this new research didn't track people for longer than one year. Jennifer Lagrasa, CBC News, Toronto. And that is the world this hour.
