Don't say hello, I'm Rosanna

0:04

Dearchild, host of Unreserved, a

0:06

fearless space for indigenous voices.

0:08

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

0:27

Unreserved every Friday, wherever you get

0:30

your podcasts. This

0:36

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.
