Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade talks with the United States, saying Washington asked for too much and offered too little. He confirmed Canada will impose new tariffs on US steel, electronics and other goods from 8 September, in response to new 50% US tariffs on Canadian products affecting around $20 billion of exports. US representatives said Canada had made new demands and reneged on previous commitments.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Ukraine's recent attacks on Russian infrastructure had opened a "Pandora's box", and said Russia's deadly bombardment of Ukraine would continue. France's President Emmanuel Macron announced that France would send additional interceptor missiles to Ukraine to help defend against Russian aerial attacks. The report described a double-tap strike on a shopping centre and the difficulty of stopping ballistic missiles.
The United States resumed deportation flights to Haiti after the Trump administration ended temporary protected status for thousands of Haitians. A federal plane carrying more than 160 people landed in Cap-Haitien, the second largest city, because the main airport in Port-au-Prince is considered too dangerous. Immigrant rights organisations condemned the move, saying returning people to a country largely controlled by armed gangs violates international law, while the administration argued Haiti no longer meets the criteria. Separately, Prince Harry contacted the UK Home Secretary to urge a decision on whether he and his family will receive taxpayer-funded security when they return to live in the UK.
