Author: Global News September 10, 2026 Duration: 27:27
A former top Anthropic research is sounding new alarm bells about artificial intelligence. Redmond Shannon reports on Jacob Coxon's warning that AI could "kill us all by the end of the decade," and what needs to happen before it's too late. Mackenzie Gray reports on U.S. President Donald Trump's latest threat of more tariffs and bans on Canadian goods. And Jillian Piper looks at how many Canadian businesses are already looking to other markets to fill the gap. Trump is trying to sell a message of economic strength at the Republican midterm convention in Texas. As Jackson Proskow reports, many of Trump's supporters aren't feeling an uplift from his policies. The price of oil has again spiked over $100 USD a barrel after more intense attacks in the U.S. and Israel's war on Iran. As Heather Yourex-West reports, consumers in Canada and around the world are feeling the pain at the gas pumps. And on Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked United Airlines Flight 93, trying to crash it into the U.S. Capitol. But 40 passengers and crew thwarted the attack by making the ultimate sacrifice. The plane ended up crashing into a field in the Pennsylvania city of Shackleton. Mike Armstrong visited the memorial built on that spot, and looks at how that place of tragedy ended a place of remembrance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
