You probably know Chris Hadfield as a decorated astronaut, but do you know Chris Hadfield, the author? This week, Chris joins me on bookends to talk about his new space thriller and his storytelling skills are out of this world. Thundering down through and flames licking around the ship and 3,000 degrees outside and then the parachute opening just before you hit the ground and then slamming into the world and rolling to a stop. And then you sort of emerge almost newborn out of that ship. Check out that conversation on bookends with me, Matea Roach, wherever you get your podcasts. This is a CBC podcast. This is World Report. Good morning. I'm Marcia Young.

CBC's visual investigations unit is revealing details from a secretive neo-Nazi conference held in Vancouver this summer. The event brought white nationalists together, among them, mixed martial arts coaches, trainers, and gym owners. The CBC's Eric Cito reports that experts say this sport is becoming a gateway for white nationalist recruiting. We need an ethnic prevention. You as a white person, they want you to be alone and isolated. Make no mistake, we are at war. These are parts of speeches from the Exiles of the Golden Age Conference held this summer at a secret venue in Vancouver,

a networking event focusing on forming disciplined groups of men who can. can rebuild the world amidst the coming wreckage. Organized and attended by a who's who of Canadian neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and fascists. CBC's visual investigations team looked into many of the more than 50 people who were there, thanks to verified video gathered by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, a non-profit which studies and exposes far-right extremism. We knew that very specifically this is a neo-Nazi event. Evan Balgord, their executive director, says the conference shows white nationalism in Canada is growing.

They have managed to sort of figure out a unified and coherent strategy. And they are successfully recruiting large numbers of people doing it. CBC News is also identifying several mixed martial arts gym owners, trainers and coaches who attended the event. Experts say this sport is increasingly becoming a gateway for white supremacist recruiting. One attendee was a strength trainer who worked out of a gym in Mission BC. We spoke to the owner. Yeah, I'm just blown away a little bit by all of this. Is he still going to be at your gym?

I've told him to leave the gym. We reached out to some of the conference attendees for comment, but the exiles of the Golden Age Group told anyone who is there not to respond to our requests. Eric Cito, CBC News, Toronto. To learn more about who attended this new Nazi conference, read the CBC Visual Investigation Team's full report at cbcnews.ca. The Public Health Agency of Canada says this country has lost its measles. elimination status. It says Canada is currently experiencing a large outbreak of measles that began

in October of last year. There have been cases in nearly every province and the Northwest territories. The agency says it will focus on improving vaccination coverage. Canada can reestablish its measles-free status once the current strain is interrupted for at least 12 months. The U.S. government shutdown could be coming to an end. A shift in the Democratic Party has opened the door. Senators voted late last night to move ahead with a plan that would end the shutdown in a matter of days. A block of Democrats have broken rank and appear ready to bend on health care. The CBC's Willie Lowry joins me now from Washington. And Willie, what can you tell us about these latest developments? So negotiations between Senate Republicans and a handful of Democrats really

ramped up over the weekend. And the two sides reached a breakthrough late yesterday. The Democrats aren't getting what they wanted, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune pledged to hold a vote on American Care Act subsidies by mid-December. The legislation also promises to reverse federal layoffs made during the shutdown, a key Democratic sticking point in recent days, and it will fund the federal SNAP program or food stamps through the fiscal year and the government through January 30th. These changes have cleaved Senate Democrats in two, with leadership still holding firm and voting against the procedural motion, Senator Jean Chaheen is one of the eight Democrats who signed off. She says it's the best deal that they were going to get.

I understand that not all of my Democratic colleagues are satisfied with this agreement, but waiting another week or another month wouldn't deliver a better outcome. It would only mean more harm for families in New Hampshire and all across the country. So what is next? So this was the first of several steps before the government can reopen. The legislation will now wind its way through Congress, the Senate will have to vote on it, and then the House of Representatives. And if passed, President Donald Trump will then have to sign off. It is already by far the longest shutdown in U.S. history, and it could be days before it officially ends.

Thousands of federal workers have been furloughed. Many have been forced to work without pay over the last nearly six weeks. Now, a part of this deal would provide back pay for those workers, but it's unclear how long it will take for those funds to roll out. All right. Thank you, Willie. My pleasure. The CBC's Willie Lowry in Washington. There are some grim environmental realities to confront this week at the COP 30 summit. The UN's annual climate summit opens today, and it comes as scientists say, the Earth is warming.

The rising temperature has outpaced efforts to reduce fossil fuels. pollution. CBC's international climate correspondent, Susan Ormiston, is in Belém, Brazil for the summit. And Susan, there have been 30 years of these climate conferences. How is this one different? Well, it's in the Amazon, so it's not a glittering metropolis like Dubai two years ago. And the political climate has really worsened over the last year, not to mention the changing climate. Delegates are sleeping here on cruise ships. Brazil's president is overnighting on a luxury boat in the river as well. And an indigenous boat, arrived late Sunday with dozens of leaders. They traveled 25 days on rivers from a glacier in the Andes to

here in the Amazon. And their main goal is demanding a greater say in how their territories are managed. Here's the spokesperson. The most important thing is the indigenous young people are in the front lines, protecting the rivers, protecting the forest, protecting the jungle. So for me, this is the hope. This is the time for the indigenous youth. A report last week said in the one-third of the Amazon rainforest, occupied by indigenous communities, about 17% of those spaces are facing threats from oil and gas drilling, mining, and logging concessions. So what is on the agenda for COP 30? In summary, heat, money, and motivation. I mean, 10 years after Paris, the world has missed its goal to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. So how will countries dial up commitments to

turn down the heat. Also money last year, countries agreed to pay $300 billion a year to countries at the worst end of climate damages, but only a fraction of that has come in. And motivation. The U.S., it's not here as an official delegation. And with the president of the U.S. calling climate change a hoax, how are countries going to work together to solve the big challenges, including making good and a promise two years ago, to transition away from oil and gas when oil production here in Brazil and in Canada has reached record highs. Thank you, Susan. You're welcome.

The CBC Susan Ormiston reporting from Belém Brazil. Brazilian security officers raided parts of Rio de Janeiro just weeks before this COP 30 summit. 117 people were killed. When prosecutors justified the raid, they put forward the names of 69 suspects. The full police report on that operation has now been shared with Brazil's Supreme Court. It was reviewed by Reuters News. agency, and it shows none of those 69 suspects were among those killed by police. Neither were any senior leaders of the Cormando Vermeo gang, the target of the raid.

A new study suggests young people in some of the world's wealthiest nations are becoming less open to having women in leadership. The study of G7 countries hints at a reversal in views when it comes to gender equality. But one country appears to be bucking that trend. Italy. Megan Williams has more from Rome. Younger people are showing less progressive views than their parents and even grandparents when it comes to women in leadership, at least in Canada, the U.S., the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Japan. Michelle Harris heads the Varian Group, which has carried out the research for the Reichovic Index for Leadership since 2018. It measures how women and men are viewed as leaders across 23 economic sectors.

She says the 18-34 age group is sharply divided. with some highly progressive pockets, young men in particular nostalgic for more traditional roles. She says growing anxiety about the economy and the specter of global conflict is also shaping attitudes, especially among young men. Some of that gets wrapped up in feelings of things being done that constrain their roles as men. Feelings made worse by extremist influencers. Online targeting of young men from bad actors. Italy, though, stands apart. the only G7 country where younger people are more open than older generations to female leaders.

Harrison says that may reflect the impact of Italy's first female prime minister, or simply a country catching up, with overall acceptance of female leaders still among the lowest in the G7. Italy was not so much part of that second wave of feminism. 68% of young Canadians support female leadership, and 75% of those over age 55, putting Canada, Canada at the top of the G7.
