From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. More video evidence is coming out from the day a U.S. immigration enforcement officer fatally shot a woman in Minnesota. The death of Renee Good has sparked widespread unrest over the use of force and the Trump administration's reaction. Cameron McIntosh brings us the latest.

The video shot on a phone by the agent who fired the shots first shows Renee Goods sitting in her car. The agent walks around Good's car and is confronted by her partner. You want to come at us? It's here another agent tells good to get out of the vehicle. She tries to drive away. It appears and sounds like the agent with the phone is hit.

Shots are fired. The video, a piece of critical evidence in a case where the Trump administration has already declared the agent in the right. You have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer. Vice President J.D. Vance suggesting the agent who fired the shots be immune from prosecution. To embrace the truth. As Minneapolis Mayor Jacob, Frey calls for transparency. We in Minneapolis want a fair investigation. That video, another piece of the puzzle.

Cameron McIntosh, CBC News, Winnipeg. Prime Minister Mark Carney is condemning Russia's use of a hypersonic missile in Ukraine. This is the second time Russia has fired the Oreschnik missile during the war. It reportedly flies at 10 times the speed of sound. Ukraine says debris from the missile was found in the Leviv area in the west of the country. In its statement, Carney called it a clear and dangerous escalation. U.S. President Donald Trump is discussing the future of Venezuela's oil industry with oil executives. The Trump administration has so far made it clear. It views these energy resources as the windfall of its operation to oust President Nicholas Maduro. Trump claims oil companies, not U.S. taxpayers, will take on the job of rebuilding the industry in the country.

We're going to be working with Venezuela. We're going to be making the decision as to which oil companies are going to go in that we're going to allow to go in. I'm going to cut a deal with the companies who will probably do that today or very shortly thereafter. Trump says the oil companies will liaise directly with the U.S. and not with the Venezuelan government, though the country will receive some oil revenues. Trump added that he sees Venezuelan acting president, Delci Rodriguez, as an ally. Syrian officials say a ceaseful. with a Kurdish group in Aleppo has failed, and the army is prepared to retake parts of the city

held by the Kurdish forces. Syria's government had announced this ceasefire just this morning. It was meant to allow the safe passage for those wanting to leave. The two groups have struggled to implement a deal to merge the Kurdish group into Syria's new government. The federal government in Canada is sending in the military to help residents in the Pimichikamak-Kree Nation. A day's-long power outage damaged homes and infrastructure in the northern. in Manitoba First Nation, including water treatment. Thousands of residents have been evacuated to other communities.

And people in Gander, Newfoundland, have once again stepped up to help weary travelers stranded at their airport. After some attendees of a Shakespeare conference got diverted there by a snowstorm, they'd had the chance to have their own Come From Away moment. Jeremy Eaton has the story. Come from Away quickly took the theater world by storm, but the works of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare have long ruled the stage. In a comedy of errors, lovers of both productions set to land in St. John's, ended up in Gander, Newfoundland, about 300 kilometers away. A dream come true, though, for Michael Barr. I was thrilled that our journey was changed because Gander has a bit of a wonderful reputation because I've come from away.

Barr, the executive managing director of the Utah Shakespeare Festival had never been to the Canadian province before and quickly realized there are only a few cabs in Gander. Then a post-man. went up on social media and the locals showed up to help, giving Burr and the other passengers a touch of come from away in real life. It's a good show that talks about bringing people together. And at this time, particularly within the world, I think we need those type of things. Jeremy Eaton's CBC News, St. John's. And that is The World This Hour.
