fearless space for indigenous voices.

Together, we learn and unlearn, laugh,
0:10
and become gentler in all our
0:13
relations. We're located in what
0:15
is now called Canada, but we talk about
0:17
what came before it and what comes next.
0:19
We're also celebrating our 10th
0:21
season this year, whatever far.
0:24
It's a great time to join the circle. Find

Unreserved every Friday, wherever you get

your podcasts. This

is a CBC Podcast. This
0:41
is World Report. Good
0:45
morning, I'm Kate McKenna. This long
0:48
weekend has been marked by canceled flights
0:50
and disrupted plans for tens of thousands
0:52
of travelers, but now the WestJet strike
0:54
is over. The airline and its mechanics
0:56
union reached an agreement late last night,
0:59
but as Sam Sampson reports WestJet says
1:01
there could be more disruptions in the
1:03
coming week. The
1:05
labor dispute between WestJet and the
1:07
airline mechanics fraternal association has ended.
1:10
The two parties came to an agreement late
1:13
Sunday night, bringing the mechanics back to work
1:15
immediately. The union says the
1:17
agreement provides substantial improvements over members'
1:20
terms of employment and terms
1:22
from the first tentative agreement that was rejected.
1:25
WestJet says, considering the impact the
1:27
strike had on customers and the
1:29
standstill the two parties were at
1:31
despite an order for binding arbitration,
1:33
both parties worked together to agree
1:35
on a deal. The strike was short,
1:37
but had a nationwide effect. Tens
1:40
of thousands of passengers were stranded as WestJet
1:42
was forced to cancel more than 800 flights.
1:45
Though staff are now returning to work,
1:47
the airline says getting back to normal
1:50
service will take time and customers should
1:52
be ready to face more travel disruptions
1:54
over the next week. Sam
1:57
Sampson, CBC News, Edmonton. U.S.
2:00
Supreme Court today where justices are expected
2:02
to rule on Donald Trump's immunity case.
2:04
The former president is claiming that he
2:07
cannot be prosecuted on charges he tried
2:09
to overturn the 2020 election
2:11
results. Freelance reporter Steve Futterman has
2:13
the latest. The case
2:16
before the court involves the charges
2:18
brought against Donald Trump for his
2:20
role in the January 6th insurrection.
2:22
An indictment was unsealed. Charging Donald
2:24
J. Trump with conspiring to defraud
2:26
the United States. Trump maintains he
2:28
cannot be prosecuted for actions he
2:30
took while he was in office.
2:32
I feel that as a president
2:34
you have to have immunity. Very
2:36
simple. When the justices heard the
2:38
oral arguments in April, several seemed
2:40
receptive to the idea that a
2:42
sitting president, when it comes to
2:44
official duties, does have a
2:46
degree of immunity, but only for
2:49
official duties. Do you differentiate between
2:51
the president acting as president
2:53
and the president acting as candidate? Yes,
2:55
we do. So when Donald Trump addressed
2:57
his supporters on January 6th, was this
3:00
an official act or not? And we
3:02
fight. We fight like hell. And if
3:04
you don't fight like hell, you're not
3:06
going to have a country anymore. Many
3:09
legal observers feel while the court may
3:11
say a president does have a degree
3:13
of immunity, it will not throw out
3:15
all the charges against Trump. Matt
3:18
Seligman is a constitutional expert at Stanford
3:20
Law School. If you look at the
3:22
indictment, the vast majority of the conduct
3:24
that's alleged is clearly unofficial conduct. It
3:26
is very hard to predict what the
3:28
court will do, but many think what
3:30
is most likely is some sort of
3:32
split decision with Trump getting some of
3:34
what he wants, but not nearly all.
3:37
Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los
3:39
Angeles. France is coming to
3:41
terms with a big win for the far
3:43
right in the first round of elections. The
3:46
national rally won a third of the vote.
3:48
That puts them within reach of forming government.
3:55
In the streets of Paris last night, protesters
3:57
tipped over trash cans and set off flares
4:00
after the results came in. These
4:02
results are a huge setback for
4:04
President Emmanuel Macron, whose centrist coalition
4:06
came in third place behind a
4:08
left-wing alliance. Now those two political
4:10
groups will enter into a round
4:13
of deal-making and try to block
4:15
the national rally from forming government.
4:18
In Jerusalem, thousands of ultra-Orthodox
4:20
Jewish men clashed with Israeli
4:22
police overnight. The
4:29
protests began as a demonstration against
4:31
a Supreme Court ruling that said
4:33
ultra-Orthodox men could no longer be
4:35
exempt from military service. Noam Magnagi
4:37
was one of the protesters speaking
4:39
out against that order. I
4:41
believe that as much as we need an
4:43
army in Israel, we also need the army
4:45
of people sitting, learning Torah. We need the
4:47
Torah in the country. We need the Torah,
4:49
and as far as I believe, it's a
4:52
bad decision to try and stop that. As
4:54
nightfall came, the crowd became violent. Israeli
4:57
police say protesters threw rocks at
4:59
the car of an ultra-Orthodox cabinet
5:01
minister. Officers moved in
5:04
to try to disperse the crowd,
5:06
some on horseback, others using water
5:08
cannons filled with skunk-scented water. Hurricane
5:11
Beryl is churning its way into the
5:13
Southeast Caribbean. Barbados
5:20
hammer metal sheets over their windows
5:23
as they prepare for the powerful
5:25
category three storm.
5:28
Hurricane warnings are in effect for several
5:30
windward islands, Barbados included. People
5:33
across the island are preparing for the worst. I
5:35
have my water, bottled water and
5:37
collected water, extra food stuff, my
5:41
batteries, my battery lights
5:43
and so on. So I'm not prepared.
5:46
We've got all the water
5:48
and everything secure in the
5:50
house, ensure that the house is secure.
5:53
Saint Lucia, Granada, Tobago, Saint Vincent
5:55
and the Grenadines are all under
5:57
hurricane warnings.
