00:00Sunday night, when Carney meets Trump.

00:03The Prime Minister heads to Washington to talk trade and tariffs

00:06as auto and steel industries warn of mounting job losses.

00:11We don't want to see further concessions.

00:12The United States on thin ice.

00:15We gotta unite working people against this fascist authoritarian regime.

00:19The mass protests after the White House deploys more troops to American cities

00:24for its immigration crackdown.

00:26Schools out.

00:27Alberta's 51,000 teachers prepare to hit the picket lines.

00:32Plus, Blue Jays buzz.

00:34Toronto gambles in Game 2 with a rookie move.

00:41Global National.

00:43Reporting tonight, Jeff Semple.

00:46Good evening and thank you for joining us.

00:47The Prime Minister heads to Washington tomorrow

00:50for his second high-stakes face-to-face with the U.S. President.

00:54Tuesday's meeting at the White House comes as the Canadian economy

00:57is being battered by Donald Trump's trade war.

01:00Pressure is mounting on Mark Carney to find an off-ramp from U.S. tariffs

01:04hammering Canadian steel, aluminum, and auto industries, among others.

01:08Nathaniel Dove reports on the prospects for a breakthrough.

01:12We've seen probably about a thousand layoffs of our members,

01:17primarily in the steel industry.

01:18The U.S. tariffs are exacting a heavy toll, Canadian unions warn.

01:23All of our plants, particularly the assembly plants, have been impacted in some form or another.

01:28Getting U.S. President Donald Trump to lift or lighten the tariffs will surely be one of the topics discussed

01:34when the Prime Minister returns to the White House this week.

01:37But Mark Carney's first trip in May yielded no discernible results.

01:42So economic and political pressure is mounting.

01:45He said that he would end the tariffs and they have only gotten worse.

01:49But we want to see a big win.

01:52There is some evidence Trump's plan to bring production back to the U.S. is working.

01:57Bloomberg reports Stellantis is investing billions in the states,

02:00while an Ontario plant remains closed and GM is moving some production from another Ontario plant to Indiana.

02:09An economist says U.S. automakers are seeing higher costs, but that doesn't mean Trump will yield.

02:15It's always hard to look at this and try to apply a purely rational lens to President Trump's tariff policies.

02:23Some of it, I think, is just quite frankly, President Trump likes tariffs.

02:27The minister responsible for Canada U.S. trade said Friday his priorities are clear.

02:32Obviously to defend Canada's economic and security interests, to strengthen the Canadian economy.

02:40Dominic LeBlanc stating that includes not accepting a tariff on all goods in exchange for the U.S. dropping sectoral levies.

02:48The unions, though, so affected by the trade war, want Canada to maintain leverage.

02:54We want to make sure that we are able to fight back when we need to.

02:58We don't want to see further concessions.

03:00That may mean limiting exports.

03:04It may mean stockpiling things in Canada like critical minerals.

03:07It may mean a lot of things.

03:09Unifor and United Steelworkers say no deal is better than a bad deal.

03:14They also say they'll consider some progress towards removing tariffs a success for Tuesday's meeting.

03:20Jeff?

03:20Nathaniel Dove in Toronto. Thanks, Nate.

03:22Protests are erupting across the U.S. against President Trump's plans to send troops to a growing list of American cities.

03:31The White House says the move is needed to crack down on crime and illegal immigration.

03:36And as Candace Cole reports, the tensions have now turned violent.

03:39From Chicago to Portland to Memphis, demonstrators taking to the street fighting back against immigration enforcement and National Guard deployments to cities President Trump has characterized as war zones.

03:56They're f***ing driving out the f***ing neighborhood and throwing tear gas out the window.

04:02As they're leaving, they're throwing tear gas.

04:03In Chicago, tensions flared after Border Patrol agents shot a woman they claim was armed and part of a group that was ramming cars into ICE vehicles.

04:12Officials now calling for an investigation into the violence, they say, is being escalated by ICE agents.

04:18They have not shown the need to go and terrorize families in the middle of the night, see blocking kids, getting people naked in the middle of the street.

04:26Is that public safety?

04:27In Portland, a federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump's plans to deploy troops there, saying there's no evidence recent demonstrations qualify as a rebellion.

04:37And today's ruling halts what appears to be the president's attempt to normalize the United States military and our cities.

04:46Trump said Sunday he hadn't yet seen the order, but told reporters.

04:49Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectioners. The governor, the mayor, the politicians are petrified for their lives.

04:58And you have a judge like that, that judge ought to be ashamed of him.

05:03But in an apparent workaround, California Governor Gavin Newsom says Trump has activated 300 of his National Guard troops that are on their way to Oregon, a move Newsom says he'll fight in court.

05:15And in Memphis, hundreds of activists joined a student-led protest against troop deployments and Elon Musk's massive data center in the city.

05:26The ramped up presence of federal law enforcement comes just days after Trump told top military brass to use U.S. cities as a training ground, saying the U.S. is, quote, under invasion from within.

05:38Candace Cole, Global News, Washington.

05:40In the Middle East, negotiators for Hamas and Israel are heading to Egypt in a bid to approve Trump's proposed peace plan for Gaza.

05:49Indirect talks between both sides begin tomorrow, and delegates from the U.S. will also be involved.

05:55Now, despite U.S. President Trump's calls for Israel to stop bombing Gaza during negotiations,

06:01Israeli strikes have continued over the last few days, killing dozens.

06:04Under Trump's plan, all Israeli hostages would be released, and Israel's military would leave Gaza.

06:11Multiple ceasefire attempts have failed since the war in Gaza began two years ago this week.

06:18In Ukraine, at least five people were killed today, as Russia launched 500 drones and more than 50 ballistic missiles.

06:25Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says civilian infrastructure was targeted.

06:29Four of the deaths were in the western city of Lviv, near the Polish border, which had been considered a relative safe haven from the fighting in the east.

06:39Well, turning to news here at home now, parents across Alberta are scrambling to make alternate arrangements with a province-wide teacher strike set to begin tomorrow.

06:4851,000 teachers in Alberta are preparing to walk off the job for the first time in that province's history.

06:54Negotiations have been deadlocked for over a month.

06:57Global's Jacqueline Cusey joins us now.

06:59So, Jacqueline, any hope of a last-minute deal?

07:03Jeff, thousands of people took to the steps of the Alberta legislature on Sunday,

07:08after a deal has not been struck between the ATA and the province with a new contract.

07:14Now, the latest offer, 90% of the teachers who voted rejected the latest offer.

07:19That would have meant a 12% pay hike over the next four years and including a promise to hire 3,000 more teachers.

07:28The Alberta Teachers Association says that's not enough.

07:31Now, on Thursday, Education Minister Dimitrios Nikolaides said it's not fair that more than 700,000 students across public, separate and francophone schools will bear the brunt of this walkout.

07:43On Friday, the province says a formal letter has been given to the ATA asking them to bring creative solutions to the group and is waiting for a response.

07:53ATA President Jason Schilling says since Friday, the ATA has come back to the table with the province with preliminary talks,

08:00but the strike will still happen on Monday and schools will not be open.

08:05For students, they say the unknown is scary.

08:09I'm nervous, but I definitely know this has to happen if stuff is going to get better.

08:14Get loud like we are today and stay loud because we need that support for government to recognize what they need to do for education.

08:21Now, Schilling says if a deal is struck in this next week, it would take at least another week for teachers to vote on that deal to potentially get back into classrooms.

08:32But at this point, there is no sign that that can happen anytime soon.

08:36Jeff?

08:37Jacqueline Cusey in Edmonton.

08:39Thanks, Jacqueline.

08:41And turning to another labor dispute at Canada Post, the union representing 55,000 postal workers says there is no end in sight

08:49after the Crown Corporation's latest contract offer.

08:52The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says the new proposal removes a previously offered signing bonus

08:58and could lead to job cuts and post office closures.

09:01This labor dispute has dragged on for over a year.

09:04As Johnny James reports, some small businesses have had enough.

09:08As the Canada Post strike hits Day 10, no resolutions are on the horizon.

09:14Sean Oldenburg, president of the Fredericton Romocto branch of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers,

09:20says communication is at a disconnect and that Canada Post did not talk directly with the union

09:26for the 45 days prior to the latest offer on Friday.

09:30They have not been dealing with us.

09:32They've been dealing with the government for these reviews and to get it to go their way.

09:37CUPW says the offer is virtually the same as the previous one in May,

09:42but with new rollbacks including the removal of job security, job cuts,

09:47and the removal of previously offered signing bonuses.

09:50It is horrible.

09:54They are so far off track and not taking Canadians' needs into account.

10:02Oldenburg adds that even if a deal was to be struck,

10:05that Canada Post is skipping the important step of a public mandate review.

10:10They just keep stepping back service for Canadians

10:13with no regard for what people want.

10:18And it needs to be open to the public.

10:20The Postal Service said in a statement on Friday

10:23that the new offers are, quote,

10:24within the limit of what the corporation can afford

10:27while maintaining good jobs and benefits for employees over the long term.

10:31However, the Canadian Federation for Independent Business is sounding alarm bells,

10:36saying that 13% of Canadian small businesses

10:38stopped using Canada Post after last year's work stoppage,

10:42and nearly two-thirds said they would if there was another.

10:46Chad McGarrity owns Fredericton's Warehouse Barbershop,

10:49among several other businesses,

10:51and has converted away 90% of his shipping.

10:54I had to bail out another company that I actually acquired

10:57because they were going under because of the strike last year.

11:02As the persisting strikes leave Canada Post unreliable.

11:06The past three in a short period of time,

11:08it really hurts local businesses,

11:10but also livelihoods of people that are trying to work within the businesses.

11:15The CUPW says they will speak further

11:18after a full review of the latest offer is complete.

11:21Johnny James, Global News, Fredericton.

11:25Parliamentary elections in Syria coming up.

11:29Syrians head to the polls for the first time

11:31since the collapse of the Assad regime.

11:33But how genuine is the election?

11:35Torrential rains triggered deadly landslides and flash flooding in Nepal,

11:46where at least 47 people have been killed since Friday.

11:49The capital, Kathmandu, is completely cut off.

11:51Swollen rivers have spilled their banks,

11:53submerging roads in and out of the city.

11:56That severe weather is expected to last until tomorrow.

12:00In Syria, polls have closed,

12:02and that country's first parliamentary election

12:04since dictator Bashar al-Assad was overthrown last year.

12:08An important test for the country's new leadership

12:10as it tries to prove it can move from revolution to governments.

12:15But as Mike Armstrong reports,

12:16there's some skepticism over the unusual voting process.

12:21It's an election Syria's new leadership says

12:24that's meant as a start.

12:26Voting Sunday wasn't open to millions of citizens,

12:29but instead to only several thousand specially selected electors.

12:35This member of the Electoral College

12:38says too many Syrian cities have been destroyed

12:40and too many people are displaced.

12:42Having wider elections still isn't possible.

12:46But what the country is doing instead

12:48is supposed to be temporary,

12:50selecting a 210-member parliament

12:53that will sit for 30 months.

12:55Syria's president visited a polling station

12:58and called rebuilding the country a collective effort.

13:03Ahmed al-Sharah says the election is a way of moving forward,

13:07the quickest way possible.

13:09Al-Sharah's rebel offensive

13:11toppled the Assad regime in December.

13:13Bashar al-Assad fled Syria

13:15after he and his father before him

13:17ruled the country for more than half a century.

13:20Al-Sharah has spent the months since

13:23trying to rebrand himself from an Islamist militant

13:26to political statesman.

13:28He's framed his movement as a national unity government.

13:32This election is very much top-down.

13:35Al-Sharah appointed an 11-member committee in June.

13:38It then appointed subcommittees,

13:40and those bodies then selected the 6,000 electors voting Sunday.

13:44They're picking two-thirds of the parliament.

13:46The rest will be appointed by al-Sharah.

13:49Now, this election doesn't include regions

13:52not controlled by government forces.

13:55It also doesn't include Syrians outside the country.

13:58There are estimates about 12 million Syrians

14:00were displaced by the 14-year civil war,

14:03about half the population.

14:05The government has said it would like to

14:06let Syrians abroad vote,

14:08but when conditions allow.

14:11Critics say that proposal is basically symbolic,

14:14more about projecting legitimacy than an actual plan.

14:19McArmstrom, Global News, Montreal.

14:23Targeting cancer from the inside out.

14:25Coming up, the Canadian doctors testing a new treatment for kidney cancer.

14:33Thousands of people across this country

14:35put their best foot forward today for a great cause.

14:38The Canadian Cancer Society's annual Run for the Cure

14:41helps to raise money for breast cancer research and support services.

14:45Elizabeth Zogales reports.

14:49Some ran for themselves,

14:51others for a family member or friend.

14:54But the message is clear.

14:55Get screened, get tested, advocate for yourself.

14:58Let's push the research,

15:00let's push for as much as we can

15:01and spread this love and awareness.

15:04Stephanie DiBacco participated in her first run

15:06for the cure on Sunday.

15:08She was just 28 years old

15:10when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

15:12If you catch it early,

15:13you're going to live a long, happy life.

15:15So catch it early.

15:16It's not worth the risk.

15:18It's not worth the pain that you have to go through.

15:20I caught it a little later.

15:21I didn't catch it as fast as I wanted to

15:23and I had to fight for two years

15:24to get to the finish line.

15:26A new report recommends

15:27lowering the eligibility age to 45 from 50,

15:31bringing the province in line with the rest of the country.

15:34Early detection saves lives.

15:38I can't express it anymore.

15:40The sooner you go,

15:41whether you're in your 30s and 40s and 50s,

15:44early, get it out there, test yourself.

15:47The Canadian Cancer Society recommends

15:49women in all age groups

15:51should get familiar with their breast tissue

15:53with a self-exam every month.

15:55Many women find an irregularity on their own.

15:58Please go do your checkups

16:00or just manually go see your doctor.

16:02It's very important.

16:03Many women participating in Sunday's events

16:06say they have experienced firsthand

16:08the difficulties of getting screened.

16:10My doctor sent me to get a mammogram

16:11and because I was sent at 29,

16:15they refused me because I'm not yet 30

16:17and it's a huge barrier in order to get one.

16:19I still haven't got my mammogram yet.

16:21Experts warn lowering Quebec screening age

16:23won't come without obstacles,

16:25mainly due to a lack of resources.

16:28But that isn't stopping Sunday's participants

16:30from continuing to spread awareness.

16:32We have to talk about it.

16:33I have a friend that's 20 years old

16:37that has like cancer stage for breast cancer.

16:41Since 1992, the event has raised over $500 million

16:44to fund breast cancer research and patient support.

16:49Elizabeth Ogallis, Global News, Montreal.

16:51One of those fundraising events was held

16:55in the city of London, Ontario,

16:56where researchers are looking at a new way

16:59to treat kidney cancer.

17:00As Catherine Ward explains,

17:01the technique involves targeting cancer

17:03from the inside.

17:06This new approach is looking to use radiation therapy

17:09that targets the cancer from inside the body.

17:12This method has already been used

17:13to treat liver cancer

17:14and doctors say it could help kidney cancer patients

17:17who aren't eligible for surgery.

17:19Most of the time, kidney cancer is treated with surgery

17:22and doctors go in and remove some

17:24or all of the affected organ.

17:26This phase two trial takes a different,

17:29minimally invasive approach

17:30using tiny radiation-filled glass beads.

17:33The treatment involves injecting the beads

17:35directly into the blood vessels,

17:37feeding the cancer.

17:38Little radioactive beads that are just a fraction

17:42of a millimeter in size.

17:43And those basically float down through the artery

17:46and get lodged into the blood vessels

17:50that are supplying that tumor.

17:52They basically just sit there

17:53and as they slowly decay,

17:55they release their radiation

17:56in a very small area right around it,

17:59traveling only about two millimeters

18:00up to a maximum of one centimeter.

18:03So we get some patients

18:04who are maybe a little older, frailer,

18:06may have other comorbidities

18:08or other issues that would preclude them

18:11from getting surgery.

18:12So right now, there are a few options for them

18:15as far as therapy that's effective.

18:18And so we're looking to see

18:19whether this could potentially serve that population.

18:22To date, two patients have been treated

18:24and three more have been enrolled in the trial.

18:27Doctors say they are hopeful about the possibilities

18:29and should have results within the coming months.

18:32Catherine Ward, Global News, Toronto.

18:37A big swing.

18:38Up next, the Blue Jays roll the dice on a rookie.

18:42How do I make vegan banana bread?

18:49You don't!

18:51That is Canadian Veronica Slowikowska

18:54making her debut yesterday on Saturday Night Live.

18:57The comedian and actor is from Barrie, Ontario.

19:00She's among several new additions

19:01for the famous sketch show,

19:02which is entering its 51st season.

19:04This also marks the first time a Canadian cast member

19:07has been hired for SNL since way back in 1994.

19:12Toronto Blue Jays fans were buzzing

19:13after that big win against the New York Yankees yesterday.

19:17The Jays crushed the Yankees 10-1

19:19in the team's first American League Division Series playoff game.

19:22And tonight, fans heading into the stadium

19:24were feeling confident for a repeat,

19:26and for good reason.

19:27The Jays got out to an early lead and never looked back,

19:30winning game two in front of a rowdy home crowd.

19:33Our Eric Sorensen is outside Rogers Centre in Toronto,

19:36so Eric, Blue Jays fans put their faith

19:39in a rookie pitcher tonight, and it paid off.

19:41Jeff, after sending out their best pitcher,

19:4613-year veteran Kevin Gosman for game one,

19:49in the second game, the Blue Jays took

19:51a very different approach and a gamble.

19:53Trey Yassavage was on the mound,

19:55not only a rookie, but someone that many Blue Jays fans

19:58had never heard of one month ago.

20:00Yassavage had to climb through the Blue Jays'

20:02entire minor league system

20:03until he was called up in mid-September.

20:06This was only his fourth Major League start ever.

20:08It injected additional drama

20:10into game two of the series,

20:12his unusually high overhand pitching angle,

20:14something the Jays hoped would give the Yankees trouble,

20:17and did it ever.

20:18Yassavage no-hit the Yanks

20:20through five and a third innings,

20:21striking out 11.

20:23And for the second game in a row,

20:24double-digit scoring by the Blue Jays,

20:26led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Grand Slam.

20:29The Jays have the backing of more than 40,000 fans

20:32in the stadium, raucous support

20:34that the players say has helped them win games,

20:36and television audiences have risen steadily

20:38through the season,

20:39and playoff baseball could break records.

20:42With a victory in this game,

20:44the Blue Jays are now in charge of this series.

20:45They can win it in New York

20:47either Tuesday or Wednesday.

20:48If a fifth game is necessary,

20:50it will be played back here in Toronto on Friday.

20:53Jeff?

20:53Eric Sorensen in Toronto.

20:55Thanks, Eric.

20:56Good thing I wore my lucky blue tie.

20:58That is Global National for this Sunday night.

21:00I'm Jeff Semple.

21:01And sticking with that Blue Jays spirit,

21:03tonight's Your Canada is the Canadian flag

21:05on the Rogers Centre field in Toronto.

21:06So, thanks for watching.

21:07Hope to see you tomorrow.

21:09Have a great night.

21:27We'll see you tomorrow.
