10:23 pm
rationale behind the strikes they said of appendix was to protect us personnel, and i'll go get onto that in a 2nd. they were asked the pentagon, so i was asked, i was a radar down for maintenance when this occurred, which might have contributed to the ability for the the drone to penetrate the, the sites defenses. he wasn't gonna be draw on that various various, various report, several reports now saying that there was perhaps a some sort of radar that was being, was, was under maintenance at the time at the time of the strike. and he added that they have been another another attack on a different us base. in ne, syria, 10 rockets targeting basis of the base. actually interestingly, in a syrian gas field, that's a whole different story, of course, but no injuries, no damage. what he wasn't address, but wasn't even oft was under what authority the u. s. is bombing cereal or even occupying a 3rd of. busy siri, clearly there's no un security council resolution allowing us troops to to occupy

10:25 pm
a highlighting the ongoing partnership that has existed for more than a 150 years between these 2 countries and it really spans a number of major areas of interest. but one of the bigger is of interest right now is the issue of immigration. specifically, the fact that there's been enormous amount of migration in recent months that has traveled not only from the southern board of the united states that now gone towards the northern board of the united states and into canada. so we are expecting this announcement that there will be sort of an updating of rules pertaining to that, the civically, when it comes to those who are seeking asylum, updating, and closing a loophole, making it now mandatory that those that enter of that they, when they migrate that they will have to a claim asylum in the country that they enter be at the united states or canada. so this is a major change to the immigration rules with regard to asylum seekers. now the u. s
10:26 pm
. president is still currently addressing the canadian parliament. he's really underscored the shared values between the 2 nations, something that he's highlighted, saying that it really is interconnected between the 2 nations and really underscores the partnership between the 2 countries take a listen to what he had to say. we have gladly stepped into the responsibilities of global leadership because we understand all the risk for canadians and americans reward. when freedom is on track anywhere in the world today. our destinies intertwined are inseparable. not because we never believe geography of because it's a choice, a choice we made again and again. and i say chooses to link our future to with canada because we know there will find no better partner. and that speech medicine is just wrapped up,
10:27 pm
but it's not just immigration that the u. s. president of believes is so connected to the policies of the i canadians, the neighbors to the north. but also you heard there it is, security, it is the economy. in fact, when it comes to security, it is really important to the both nations. that is another major announcement expected. there will be an updating of some of the security systems radar in specifics they are going to be putting billions of dollars into upgrading the radar . specifically, when it comes to the issue of that chinese spy, blue that traverse the north american continent, that is a major concern to both countries. and also we should point out climate change. another big issue and the economy really feeling that these are 2 areas where the countries can continue to cooperate. just last year alone, the 2 countries coordinated to the tune of $950000000000.20. thank you very much. how house crosswind kevin,
10:28 pm
how kept giving us the latest on that story. thank you. kimberly. of course it is thee islamic month of ramadan now and around, $100000.00 palestinians have attended the 1st friday afternoon prayers at the alex a mosque. there are concerns that i could be an escalation and violence by is ready forces against palestinians. 2 out of 4 was on guns that have taken place during the muslim holy month. not aside reports now from garza city. as people in gaza prepare for ramadan, the excitement is mixed with tension. for many thousands, the muslim holy month is a time to come together with family and friends to break fast and share meals. but for some, the memories of conflicts and wars when they've previously celebrated or casting a shadow. pleasant. for hall, we want to feel the joy and happiness that ramadan brings to our homes and our children. we have many sad memories,
10:29 pm
but we will not tie them with the normal dawn. it's not fair to make this month a month of sort of the most of the year about we have prepared all essential susan days for our customers during this whole month. we know it's difficult time, and if any escalation breaks, we'll have to store all the food and lose a lot, but we hope it will be fine. and people enjoy ramadan peacefully. despite this most constancy of preparing for ramadan, with the same enthusiasm and joy, they have every year families are busy decorating their homes, shopping for special foods and buying gifts for loved ones. what you see behind me is called the colored neighbourhood by the people here. they fainted pictures on the walls of their homes to celebrate and welcome the coming of the holy month of ramadan. life has been in stabling garza for many years with ongoing conflict and frequent outbreaks of violence. patrice intentions have be particularly high with
10:30 pm
fighting between israeli forces and palestinians in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem. and that sparked hears of a wider conflict from us, i believe. or would the mediation of egypt and other regional and the emotional countries has been restrained from escalating the situation with as well. but we also about this world keep pushing against the palestinians and numbers on june of within a lot. so most that might lead to on the very limited escalation with, with israel, which my mother last very long the international community has repeatedly expressed concern about the rising tensions in the occupied territories. the united nations has also expressed concern, but about the potential impact of any conflict on those in garza whose lives are already precarious. you.
