Click Granger.com or just stop by. Granger for the ones who get it done. This is a CBC podcast. This is World Report. Good morning. I'm Angie Seth. New York mayor Zoran Mamdani is calling to abolish ICE. After US immigration and customs enforcement agents shot a man in the Bronx yesterday. But Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin is hitting back at Mamdani, saying sanctuary cities like New York, emboldened criminals.

Sanctuary politicians refused to take care of their own streets. President Trump has made it very clear we will. This individual is a threat to our community. The state of New York knew he was illegal and they chose to release him back into the streets and into the community. Chris Reyes is in New York following the developments for us. So Chris, talk to us more about this incident. So Angie, this happened at about 4 p.m. yesterday in a residential neighborhood in the Bronx. And according to NYPD men in construction vests and masks pulled up to a car while it was parking, guns drawn and fired multiple shots inside that car was a 28 year old man and a five year old child. The man was grazed and taken to hospital. The child is safe with a relative with no injuries. Two ICE agents were also injured and taken to hospital. Here's one witness describing what she saw. All of a sudden I hear, and I'm like, oh my god. And then everybody started running.

We ran back around Broadway and we all hit in the shops. The initial claim from the Department of Homeland Security is that this 28 year old man from the Dominican Republic has ties to a gang there. And the man's lawyer has denied this Angie and those claims were not mentioned by the US Justice Department confirming this operation. So the mayor has been talking about this and has said that he's had a conversation with President Trump. What came out of that? That's right. So mayor Zoran Mamdani was also on site after the shooting. He was angry and outraged. He said there's no explanation for this kind of enforcement where you have unidentified masked men approaching New Yorkers with guns drawn. He said he was on the phone. The news on the phone would President Donald Trump for hours negotiating for the man's release but it didn't work. Mamdani has long called for ICE to be abolished. Here's what he said. Today's shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they have killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to say.

This city is a sanctuary city, meaning that it doesn't cooperate with ICE. Mamdani is calling on Trump to withdraw all ICE agents from the city. Chris, thank you for this. Thanks Angie. CBC's Chris Raya reporting from New York. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is confirming what US Defense Secretary Pete Hagueceth suggested earlier this week. The execution of Ford Hood mass shooter, Nidel Hassan, will be live streamed. Hassan was convicted of killing 13 people at a Texas military base in 2009. He was sentenced to death by firing squad. Something the US military has not done since 1945. Eugene Fidel is an American lawyer and military expert. Today with very rare exceptions, countries don't have executions in public. I've done a little research north Korea does public executions. Iran does public executions. This is not a company that we want to be in.

Legal experts say the broadcast could violate Army regulations restricting witnesses to capital punishment. Back here at home, Statistics Canada's September jobs report is out and it shows the economy lost roughly 68,000 jobs last month. That brings the unemployment rate up to 6.5%. With more on the numbers, here's Philippe de Montene. Of the 68,000 jobs lost last month, many are concentrated in education, health care, social assistance and manufacturing. Economists expected modest gains of roughly 5,000 jobs for the month of September. So this is certainly a disappointing jobs report. And this comes after the Canadian economy lost 42,000 jobs in August. So a significant decline in employment over the past two months. The jobless rate in September as a result, inched up to 6.5%. Now if we look at the last 12 months, more than 87,000 jobs have been created despite the ongoing trade war.

This is actually the first jobs numbers we're getting since the latest escalation from the Trump administration. The United States imposed a 50% tariff on a broad range of Canadian goods on August 22nd and expanded the scope of goods impacted on September 15th. So there's some of that impact in these labor market figures. Wages are up 2.3% year over year, averaging around $37.64 an hour. And that's below our current inflation rate of 3%, which means Canadians are losing ground when it comes to their purchasing power. Philip de Montseguin's CPC News Toronto. Well, Canadians are still feeling sticker shock at the grocery store. But what are the real reasons food prices are taking such a big bite out of our budgets? Marketplace has been digging into some shopping list staples to find out what's behind the increases. Here's more from Rosa, Marketelli. Oh, it's like ridiculously high. I can't believe it. We asked shoppers to see how far $100 would go towards a week's worth of groceries.

New mom, Connie Tong, spent almost $150 for her family of three. Do you feel like you're getting value for your money? Not really. Nothing I could do, right? We all have to eat. According to Statistics Canada, grocery prices have jumped nearly 30% in the last five years. So Marketplace is looking at some of the biggest increases this year and why? Check out Ground Beef, which peaked at a 22% increase from a year before. University of Guelph Professor Mike Vaughn Masso points to years of dry weather. Cows need grass. If there's less grass, you can run fewer cows. Tomato prices spiked 45% at their peak compared to the year before. Vaughn Masso says dry weather in Mexico and US tariffs on Mexican tomatoes are to blame. That sort of was kind of a double whammy. At to that, the high price of diesel. Ottawa's food security strategy aims to make Canada's food system more self-sufficient and bring prices down.

We caught up with Minister of Agriculture Heath MacDonald to ask when Canadians will see prices drop. It's an overall plan. I mean, this isn't going to happen overnight. As for the role of grocery stores, the retail council of Canada says grocers make two to four cents on every dollar when it comes to food. With any profit growth coming from non-food sales, Rosa Marketelli, CBC News Toronto. And to find out more, you can watch Marketplace tonight at 8 p.m. on CBC Television. Well, flew out breaks or hitting parts of the United States, the UK and Japan Heart, even forcing some school closures. With cases ticking up at home, many Canadians are now wondering if they should roll up their sleeves earlier than usual. Christian Barak tells us what experts are advising ahead of the holiday long weekend. Data from the public health agency of Canada shows flu season may be kicking off earlier than usual. While Alberta's already seen its first death, parts of Ontario, PEI and B.C. are reporting higher activity.

We're starting to see more influenza particularly in children. Dr. Bonnie Henry is B.C.'s health officer. She says everyone who's eligible should roll up their sleeves. So even if you've previously been immunized for influenza for COVID, we encourage everybody to get the updated vaccine. Especially with the early PEG, the long weekend coming up, with Thanksgiving coming up. Joseph Param is a family doctor in Toronto. He says a lot of younger, healthier people are showing up in his office sick with flu. As most provinces are currently vaccinating older Canadians and other high-risk groups. I told my parents, get the flu shot as soon as possible. The shots for the general public typically start in late October. In Quebec, many will have to pay out of pocket for them. In the meantime, standard precautions like hand washing, physical distancing, and staying home one sick can help stop the spread and keep loved one safe. Christine Birak, CBC News, Toronto. And finally for us, the winner of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize is Naveenathan Pillay. If you clap a little bit more, I may share the surprise with Trump.

Naveen Pillay was born in South Africa under apartheid to Indian Tamil parents. She went on to become the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and a judge at the International Criminal Court. The Nobel Committee says Pillay has been an important part of all major international court cases in our time. At the time of existential challenges, including more wars and conflicts than the world have seen in a long time, international law is no longer just a supplement to peace and security. It is an absolute necessity. Last September, Pillay oversaw the publishing of a UN report that concluded Israel had committed acts of genocide in Gaza. Israel has strenuously denied those accusations. Well, that is the latest national and international news from World Report. For news anytime, go to CBCNews.ca. I'm Angie Seth. This is CBC News.
