Story summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on November 10 that he will emphasize to Chinese President Xi Jinping during their meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen, from November 18-19, the importance Canada places on non-interference by China and other nations. This comes after a public inquiry in April 2025 identified China as the primary perpetrator of foreign interference in Canadian democratic institutions. Carney stated that he would discuss with Xi both the global security climate and the economic partnership between their countries, which is deepening despite guardrails. The meeting aims to address concerns over past meddling by China in Canada's internal affairs, including its alleged influence on elections in 2019 and 2021.

UK children's author Walliams named as subject of sexual allegations by media LONDON, Nov 10 - Two media groups named British comedian and bestselling children's author David Walliams on Tuesday as the high-profile figure who had tried to prevent allegations of sexual misconduct being published by saying he would take his own life if they were revealed. The Guardian and ITV News said that Walliams, formerly a judge on music mogul Simon Cowell's "Britain's Got Talent" television show, had sought an injunction against the newspaper and the broadcaster ITN, which produces ITV News. Walliams, who has sold more than 60 million books, had sought to block publication of the allegations, which he denies, primarily on the grounds that he would again attempt suicide if they were made public. Reporting on the investigation on Tuesday, the Guardian said multiple women had accused Walliams of abusing his "power and position as a celebrity to prey on them for sexual purposes when they were teenagers or young women".
