    Carney fires back at Trump; Greenlanders react to 'framework'; Toys "R" bust?

    2026-1-23 | 26 mins.
    Prime Minister Mark Carney has fired back at U.S. President Donald Trump, after Trump said "Canada only lives because of the United States." Jillian Piper reports on Carney's response, and why U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is calling Canada "arrogant." U.S. President Donald Trump claims his "framework" of a deal on Greenland's future gives the U.S. "total access" to the Danish territory. But very little is publicly known about the agreement, including among Greenlandic officials. Heidi Petracek reports from Nuuk, Greenland, where people remain adamant that the Danish territory's future rests with its people. Jackson Proskow reports on Trump launching his "Board of Peace," his vision for "New Gaza," and his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on ending Russia's war. Outrage is growing in Minnesota once again. This time, it's after a five-year-old boy was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Touria Izri explains the accusations ICE of using the child as "bait," and how Vice-President JD Vance is justifying the incident. Plus, there are signs the days of being a Toys "R" Us kid are disappearing. Heather Yourex-West reports on the one-time retail giant's shrinking footprint and mounting money troubles.
