Global National: Nov. 9, 2024 | Iran denies accusation of Trump assassination plot
There are questions emerging on at least two fronts tonight about what U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's victory will mean for international peace and stability. One has to do with Iran, as the Iranian regime fiercely denies accusations by Washington that one of its citizens had been planning to kill Trump. As Bianca Facchinei reports, an Iranian assassination plot — if found to be true — would just confirm Tehran's already deep distrust of the man who's about to reclaim the White House. The second unknown of Trump’s victory on international politics is the uncertain future of Ukraine, given Trump's cozy relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. An overnight Russian drone strike killed one person and injured 13 others in Odessa, while drones from Ukraine struck a munitions plant in Russian territory. But with Trump's close ties to Putin — and his vow to swiftly end the conflict — there are fears Ukraine is about to lose critical support from its biggest ally. Mackenzie Gray reports. With such a landslide win for the Republicans, Democrats are now asking themselves: "How did it all go wrong — again?” Despite issues with the economy and U.S. President Joe Biden's unpopularity before he dropped out, Kamala Harris' campaign seemed confident they could turn it around. But in the end, it wasn't enough. Eric Sorensen breaks down why. Meanwhile in Canada, community organizations who serve refugee claimants in Montreal are speaking out and warning of an alarming rise of racist incidents against newcomers. They say rhetoric from political leaders aimed at migrants is making matters worse, leaving some victims in fear for their lives. Phil Carpenter has more. In Bedford, N.S., a portrait sitting was held to honour those who have served in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). The series' photographer says he wanted to give veterans the appreciation they deserve. As Ella Macdonald reports, the 'Honour Country Sacrifice' project amplifies diversity, while celebrating those who dedicated their lives to Canadian freedom. And finally, there are some things that the laws of nature can't quite explain — such as the unlikely story of a rescue dog and an orphaned kitten. Despite not having a litter and never being pregnant, 11-month-old Phoenix the dog started producing milk after a feral orphaned kitten showed up at the home of a rescue animal foster near Winnipeg. As Melissa Ridgen reports, it's a bond that transcends species and convention.
