Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling an incursion by Russian drones into Polish airspace, reckless and escalatory. Poland shot down Russian drones that entered the country's airspace overnight. The incursion caused Poland to request a meeting of NATO allies this week. And Carney says Canada stands with Poland and NATO. Anna Cunningham is following the story. from London. The Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk speaking in Parliament in Warsaw. He says Poland is at its closest to open conflict since World War II.

Polish authorities say there were 19 airspace violations overnight as Russia carried out attacks on Western Ukraine near Polish borders. Polish, NATO and Dutch pilots were involved, as were Italian surveillance planes. Several drones were reportedly shot down over Poland. No casualties were reported, but images show damage to one house. Police and border guards have joined the search across fields for any drone debris. Seven have reportedly been found and what's being described as a projector.

Prime Minister Mark Carney echoing the comments of many European leaders, all calling what happened reckless. A planned EU defence minister's meeting in London has pivoted to discuss Poland. The British Defence Minister John Healy says the incursion was unacceptable. They're attack on NATO airspace and on NATO sovereignty, and we will stand together and we will support Poland through NATO to resist those in the future. A White House official says US President Donald Trump plans to talk to the Polish president later today. Poland has invoked Article 4 of the NATO Treaty, which any member can call

when it feels territorial integrity, political independence, or its security are at risk. It's only the eighth time the measure has ever been used. The Russian Defence Ministry has confirmed it carried out strikes on Western Ukraine, but it says there had been no plans to target facilities on the territory of Poland. It is not an admission of involvement, but neither is it an outright. right denial from Russia. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. Israel is receiving international condemnation over yesterday's strike in Qatar. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the country was targeting Hamas leaders when it attacked Doha.

The European Commission is now planning on freezing EU support for Israel. President Ursula von der Leyen says she is also seeking sanctions and a partial suspension of trade with Israel. Even U.S. President Donald Trump is saying the strike was not a good idea. The CBC's Willie Lowry is in Washington with more on the U.S. response. Willie, what are U.S. officials saying? Well, President Donald Trump, not happy with Israel's strike on Hamas inside Qatar, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East. I'm not thrilled about the whole situation.

It's not a good situation. And Trump said Tuesday night that he would issue a full statement later today. The president, though, not alone in his criticism, several U.S. leaders, including Senator Bernie Sanders, also irate. Sanders on social media calling for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel. Others, however, a little more supportive of Israel's actions. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly after the strike and added he would always be a partner to Israel. What has the White House said about the U.S. involvement in the U.S. involvement in the

strike? Well, that's the question in messaging out of the White House, at least so far, suggesting not very much. Trump on social media said his team learned of the strike from the U.S. military. The president also saying he immediately went into action, directing U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff, to reach out to the Qataris. The Qatari's saying, by the time the Trump administration made contact, the strike already underway. Trump made clear, though, that this was Israel strike. And while he said he felt very badly about the location of it, he added that the target allegedly Hamas leadership was a worthy goal. Thank you, Willie. Thank you. The CBC's Willie Lowry in Washington. A street sweeper cleans up debris in Kathmandu. Nepal's health ministry

says the number of people killed in this week's anti-corruption protests is now 25. 633 people have being injured. The country's prime minister has resigned, but demonstrations in the streets went into a second day. The country's parliament was torched. It's now in ruins. Soldiers are on the streets. There is an indefinite curfew in place in Kathmandu. The federal government is preparing to announce a list of major projects that wants to fast track. Prime Minister Mark Carney says they are essential to Canada's economic interests and they will help to counteract U.S. President and Donald Trump's tariffs. However, our colleagues at Radio Canada have learned that no oil pipelines are on the list. The CBC's Janice McGregor joins me now from Ottawa. And Janice, what can you

tell us about this project being off the table? Marcia, Mark Carney won't exactly be saying no, but our colleagues at Radio Canada are reporting this morning that he is expected to say not yet. And the reason is straightforward. No company has stepped forward with a serious proposal to build one. Daniel Smith suggested last June that there would be an oil pipelines submitted to the federal government for consideration, but that apparently hasn't yet materialized. Canada has a long and troubled history of expensive projects being proposed and then derailed by politics, by protests, as well as shifting energy market conditions in recent years, but basing the new major projects office in Alberta, appointing former Trans Mountain Pipeline

executive Don Farrell to run it. That was intended to set a new tone. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith remains critical of federal laws that she says discourage private sector investments in additional pipelines. In a letter last May, she warned the Prime Minister that not having a pipeline on the initial list is going to perpetuate investment uncertainty and send a sobering signal to Albertans who are concerned about Ottawa's commitment to national unity. Does this mean the energy sector is going to be let down? Not necessarily. A draft list of 32 projects that were said to be under consideration was obtained by the Globe and Mail last week, and reportedly, it did include some 14 energy-related projects.

The newspaper suggested that many of these were focused on developing and shipping resources from Western Canada. So look, the pitching and prioritization process is just getting started. We don't know the exact timing of Carney's announcement of the first top priorities, but the Prime Minister has already suggested. that new investments in port infrastructure, particularly for the north, are coming soon. Thank you, Janice. You're welcome. The CBC is Janice McGregor in Ottawa. New data from Statistics Canada show the number of trips Canadians are taking to the United States continues to decline.

It is considered to be a consequence of the U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada and saying Canada could become a 51st state. Stats can track return trips by Canadian residents, both by. air and car. Return trips by air to the U.S. are down by 25% this August compared to last, and car trips also declined by over 30% year over year. The Canadian Medical Association says science is under attack. It says misinformation around health is being normalized. The organization says it's speaking out to counter the damage and advance scientific research. Allison Northcott explains.

Misinformation and disinformation with respect to health care is increasing. Dr. Margo Burnell, president of the Canadian Medical Association, says doctors are facing misinformation in their offices every day. She points to findings from a recent survey of more than 3,000 Canadians. A third of people are seeking their medical advice from online sources and delaying or postponing seeking professional treatment. In a statement published Wednesday, Bernel, along with the heads of seven, Several provincial and territorial medical associations and other experts say science is under attack in Canada and around the world. They cite examples like misinformation around vaccines. Along with education, the Canadian Medical Association says better access to primary care would help

so people can ask doctors about their health instead of relying on the internet. Alison Northcott, CBC News, Montreal. That is Abercadabre by Lady Gaga.
