Unemployment in Canada, China tariffs, new Parkinson's treatment, and more

from Your World Tonight

New jobs numbers suggest tariffs and the trade war are affecting the economy. Canada shed tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs, in the highest unemployment rate the country has seen – outside the pandemic – in years. And: U.S. President Donald Trump throws out another number for tariffs on China – this time: 80 per cent. It may be a sign he’s trying to de-escalate the standoff with Beijing over tariffs, before U.S. and Chinese officials meet this weekend in Switzerland. Those will be the first major talks since Trump began his trade war. Also: A medical trial in Canada is testing a new treatment for Parkinson’s disease: adaptive deep brain stimulation. It’s been approved in the U.S. and E.U., and may even be useful for other conditions. Plus: Pope Leo’s first mass, India and Pakistan accuse each other of escalating tensions, U.S. preparing plan for Gaza aid, day six of cross examination at the Hockey Canada players trial, and more.
