The poll is turning to other countries for help as the search continues for thousands of

people missing after catastrophic flooding.

Foreign Minister Shishir Canal says international support is being brought in to some of the hardest hit areas. "We have requested specific and specialized assistance from our friendly neighbors, which such support can further strengthen our search and risky efforts in areas such as opening the tunnel where people have been trapped.

Technologies that help us locate people alive in affected areas, quick, forensic and DNA analysis and more to keep the bodies." Teams from India, China and South Korea have been sent into disaster zones to assist Nepalese crews. Some are focusing on hydropower tunnels where people remain trapped.

Nearly 750 people have been killed across Nepal and neighbouring Tibet and more than 3000 are still missing. Authorities are also warning that additional flooding remains possible as rescue operations continue.

The premiere of Ontario is fighting back over President Trump's renaming of Lake Ontario.

Dan Carpenteruk reports Doug Ford has unveiled a large sign that sends a clear message to the White House. The sign at the small lakeside community of Winona on the outskirts of Hamilton reads "Lake

Ontario, now and always."

An Ontario premiere Doug Ford says the message to President Trump is that Canadians are resilient and, quote, "will never ever back down from a bully." Ford echoed what Prime Minister Carney had said a couple of days ago that Trump can call it whatever he wants, but he says the rest of the world will always call it "Lake Ontario." Tensions have been frayed since trade negotiations collapsed more than a week ago.

Each side accusing the other of wanting changes just before a deadline for new 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods to kick in.

illegally. Milo Yanopoulos last summer posted on social media, quote, "We have got to deport millions and millions and millions of people without that nothing else matters." It turns out, according to DHS, he himself was in the country illegally and he has now been deported to the UK.
