European Union officials are discussing their next steps in response to the latest move by Donald Trump in his trade war. This is ahead of an emergency meeting by European trade ministers tomorrow.

The U.S. president has imposed 30 percent tariffs on EU and Mexican imports. They're set to kick in August 1st. The CBC's Anna Cunningham reports. The EU says it is ready to retaliate to US President Donald Trump's threat to impose 30 percent tariffs on the bloc. What it shows that Donald Trump thinks he can maybe get a deal by threatening to escalate, but I think it will backfire. Says Jakob von Kerkgaard, a senior researcher from the Brussels-based think tank Bruegel.

He believes the EU is ready. Absolutely. We're lining up, arming, putting a bullet in the gun, and then we will see, and putting the gun on the table. Trump's letter to the EU bloc is similar to his threat to Canada. French President Emmanuel Macron and Dick Schoof, Prime Minister of the Netherlands, both posting on social media their concern and support for the bloc. EU officials had believed they were on the brink of a deal with the US.

Its 27 nations will be hoping that as a bloc that makes up the world's third largest economy, it still has some negotiating power. But three weeks makes a tight deadline. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. Six children are among 10 people killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza. Witnesses say they were hit by a drone missile while waiting to fill their water containers. The Israeli military says it's reviewing the incident, adding there had been what it calls a technical error.

The IDF says the strike was intended for nearby militants. At least 20 others were killed in different attacks today. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 58,000 Palestinians have now been killed since the Hamas-Israel war began almost two years ago. It has been one year since a gunman shot Donald Trump on the campaign trail. Today US Homeland Security is out with a final report on the attempted assassination. Reporter Steve Futterman joins me now. Steve, what's in this report? Steve Futterman, The New York Times, The New York Times, The New York Times, The New York

It says the Secret Service and we were we knew this became aware of a suspicious individual

nearly 45 minutes before the shots were fired but failed to act. It says the agency assigned an inexperienced operator to handle unmanned aerial systems. It also says, the Secret Service denied or left unfulfilled at least 10 requests by the Trump security division for counter sniper personnel. Now six agents were suspended last year, but the report says not a single person was fired. It says the agency really is accountable for what he calls insufficient accountability. It concludes by saying this was not a single error.

It was a cascade of preventable failures that nearly cost Trump his life. It says the American people deserve better. Now another report Kimberly issued in recent days said the Secret Service failed to even give some of its own agents on the ground information that could have prevented what took place. All right, thanks for that Steve. My pleasure. Reporter Steve Futterman in Kerrville, Texas. We are also keeping an eye on a developing situation in Quebec. Police say an SUV, which was transporting illegal immigrants, was involved in a crash near the US border early this morning.

The vehicle rolled over following the collision, four people were hospitalized and eight escaped on foot. They are believed to have been undocumented migrants. The driver of the other vehicle has been arrested for impaired driving. A trip to New Brunswick by a US green card holder has created an uncertain future for him. Christopher Landry is stuck in the province after US border officials denied him re-entry. As Prapti Bamaniya reports, he's never had a problem crossing the border until now. There's going to be a long hard road for all of us, no matter what we do. Christopher Landry is a legal U.S. resident and has lived in New Hampshire for over 40

years. At least once a year, he travels to Grand Parish-Wah, New Brunswick to visit family. But this time, on his way home at the Holton Maine border crossing, he was stopped. They pulled me in for secondary questioning and started bringing up my past convictions from 18 years ago for possession of marijuana and told me that basically I was subject to detention and I was not allowed to return home. In 2007, he was given a suspended sentence and paid his fines. Despite that, now he's stuck in New Brunswick with two of his youngest children missing work. It's surprising but it's not surprising. Blair Hodgman is

an immigration lawyer with the firm Allen and Hodgman. It has offices in Nova Scotia and Ohio. She said it's an unusual situation but anyone with an American criminal history should be wary of travel right now. Normally a permanent resident would not be refused admission for an offense like that, just a simple possession. Hodgman talked about the increased scrutiny at the border and how travelers don't know what to expect. Landry says he will try to make the most of his extended stay while he schedules a hearing with an immigration judge. Prapti Bemania, CBC News, New Brunswick.

Canada's national public dental insurance program is facing growing pains. In June, the largest segment of the population became eligible for coverage, pushing the number of people who now qualify for care to more than 5 million, Marina von Stackelberg reports. We're booking next spring for hygiene appointments. Dental assistant Natalie Marsh says clinics she works at in North Sydney, Nova Scotia are struggling to keep up with the wave of new patients covered under the Canadian dental care plan. I think this program is wonderful, but it's putting a strain on providers. Last month, 18 to 64-year-olds became eligible.

In June alone, nearly one million of them visited a dental office. Right now, you're seeing people who haven't seen a dentist in a long time, so they're coming in with a lot of work to be done. The plan covers a wide range of dental procedures, like cleanings and fillings, but more complex and often more expensive work like crowns or partial dentures require what's called pre-authorization. Clinics

have to send in extra documents like x-rays and dental charts proving the work is medically necessary. But right now, Health Canada says, more than half of those applications are being declined. There's been a lot of confusion for dentists who we send in what we would normally send into a private plan and it comes back rejected. Bruce Ward is a Vancouver dentist. I've heard weeks, even some time months getting approvals and when they come back they're rejected which means you have to start over again. So it's very frustrating. Health Canada says it's worked to streamline the process and says most pre-authorizations

are now determined in just over a week. Marina von Stackelberg, CBC News, Ottawa. As provinces and territories across the country struggle to contain wildfires, there's a push to get more women on the front lines. Right now, women make up just 11 percent of Canada's firefighting workforce. As the CBC's Cori Bullock reports, a mentorship program in B.C.'s Kootenay region is looking to change that. I grew up wanting to be a firefighter. Paid-on-call firefighter Jessica Mickelson says that her dream is now a reality, thanks in part to Camp Ignite. It's such a great experience and it really thrilled me to do firefighting more and get

more into it. Mickelson attended Camp Ignite in Vancouver in 2021 and this is her third year mentoring for the Kootenay-based camp in Creston, helping to inspire girls aged 15 to 18 to get fired up about the career. Especially because it's such a male-dominated industry. According to a 2022 census report from the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, just 11 percent of Canada's firefighters are women. And Kootenay Ignite Mentorship Society says that number is even lower in BC, closer to 4%. Ashley Bergson is the president of the board for the society.

You know, they go back to their communities and they join their junior firefighter program and they're like, I can do this. Bergson says this year there are about 18 campers total. Each camper has to apply to be part of the program and they get to work one-on-one with other women in the industry. So that mentor follows them throughout the entire weekend and overseas and gives them the support and encouragement. She says they learn all of the ins and outs of the job from putting on turnout gear to how to save someone from a crushed vehicle and hopefully she

says have a little fun along the way. Cori Bullock, CBC News, Creston, British Columbia. And that's the latest national and international news from World Report. For News Anytime, go to cbcnews.ca. I'm Kimberly Gale. This is CBC News. For more CBC podcasts, go to cbc.ca slash podcasts.
