## Resource

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke at the United Nations in New York today. As Mackenzie Gray reports, Pezeshkian was defiant, vowing his country will not be bullied by the U.S., and will defend itself until its last breath. Lawyers for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are challenging U.S. President Donald Trump's sudden decision to bar those networks' reporters from the White House. Jackson Proskow looks at where the case is heading, and how Trump's ban appears to be backfiring. Jillian Piper reports on how Trump is accusing Canada of "destroying itself" over immigration, and how the stats don't support his claim. Catherine McDonald was in court to hear from families speaking at the sentencing hearing of Kenneth Law, the Ontario man who pleaded guilty to helping people die by suicide. Heidi Petracek explains how the Atlantic Ocean is experiencing one of its calmest hurricane seasons ever, while the Pacific is roaring ahead and setting a new pace. And with Prime Minister Mark Carney on a mission to forge stronger alliances beyond the U.S., Eric Sorensen looks at how he's trying to reposition Canada on the world stage.
