Global National: Feb. 5, 2025 | Trump officials try to walk back Gaza takeover comments

From Global News.

There’s widespread alarm and confusion over U.S. President Donald Trump’s idea to force Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East." Jackson Proskow looks at how Trump’s comments contradict his previous stances on the Middle East and how White House officials struggled to define the proposal.

The U.S. is Canada’s biggest trading partner, but Trump’s tariff threat has Canada looking at how to rely less on its closest neighbour. One way is boosting interprovincial trade, but there are plenty of obstacles in the way. As David Akin reports, Canada’s first ministers are figuring out how to remove the barriers.

The RCMP has released new infrared video of an interception of six migrants illegally entering Manitoba from the U.S. Mercedes Stephenson reports on the first instance of the RCMP using its resources this way and why the Mounties released the surveillance footage to the public.

Plus, they say it takes two to tango, but the Shreveport Aquarium in Louisiana is trying to figure out how a baby swell shark was born in a tank holding two females that hadn’t seen a male in years. Heidi Petracek reports on the two possible explanations for this "virgin birth" and what will confirm how this happened.
