Global National: July 6, 2026 | Why Canada chose Germany to build new submarine fleet

Canada dives into a new deal this Monday night.The multi -billion dollar contract to build new Navy submarines.

These are amongst the most advanced submarines ever built.

Global National with Donna Friesen.

Good evening and thanks for joining us.Canada is turning to Europe to replace the Navy's aging fleet of submarines.A German company has been chosen to build up to 12 new submarines in a deal worth an estimated $100 billion.It's part of Prime Minister Mark Carney's pledge to increase defense spending to levels not seen since the Cold War.Carney calls it the biggest procurement in Canadian history.Essential, he says, because only one of Canada's four existing Navy submarines is seaworthy.

The Prime Minister made the announcement just before flying to Turkey for a NATO summit.Mackenzie Gray is traveling with him and has our top story tonight.

After a year of negotiation, the pick is in.

I'm pleased to announce that Canada has selected TKMS as the preferred supplier for Canada's patrol submarine project.

The German Norwegian bid from TKMS, meeting out South Korea's Hanwha to enter into negotiations with the Canadian government to buy up to 12 submarines.And while the liberals are calling exact costs, there's an estimated price tag of $100 billion.for building and maintaining the subs.

This procurement will be the largest in Canadian history.and that by design, this process will have far and away the greatest economic impact of any defense investment right across Canada.

Those impacts are a large part of the reason why TKMS won.But a senior government official would not say what additional economic benefits Canada can expect or what the dollar value would be.The company says they've signed 18 deals with Canadian companies, including Ellis, Dawn and C -SPAN.The German defense minister has said their deal would bring $86 billion in value to Canada over multiple decades.Carney defended the lack of transparency over the cost of the agreement.

We won't release the final contract price until the commercial negotiations are completed.We can confirm.that this means Canada will receive tens of billions of dollars in investment from TKMS.

That investment is expected to include maintenance facilities on both the west and east coasts, but the vessels are not expected to be built in Canada.The first four subs will be delivered to Canada by 2034, according to a senior government official, but they also noted that Canada does not have a minimum amount of subs that need to be purchased.The two 12 CD submarines operate similar to a hybrid car, running on diesel and lithium ion batteries, allowing them to stay underwater for 40 days straight.But the first one is yet to come off their production line, despite TKMS having built numerous other subs used by other NATO countries.

is the boat that provided the overall industrial benefit package that Canada was looking for because of the heavy industry investment.

Spending billions on new subs helps address a long -standing U .S.complaint that Canada doesn't spend enough on defense, something Mark Carney's likely to bring up with Donald Trump, Donna, as the pair will both be at the NATO summit starting on Tuesday.

OK, Mackenzie Gray in Halifax, thank you.The shifting world order and the threat from Russia has intensified the pressure on all NATO allies.countries to spend more on defense.Ukraine faced another fierce attack overnight from dozens of Russian missiles and hundreds of drones.At least 23 people were killed.Ukraine's president says its military is running out of missiles to intercept those Russian attacks.

As Jackson Prosko reports, the U .S.president is the wild card in how much more support Ukraine gets.

Russia's latest attacks exposed a brutal reality.Ukraine has virtually run out of the American -made Patriot interceptors needed to stop incoming ballistic missiles.More than 20 hit targets in Kiev overnight.President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the U .S.and Europe for proactive help.

The head of NATO agrees.

NATO partners must continue to ensure Ukraine gets what it needs.And let me be clear, All allies need to pull their weight.

The issue will dominate this week's NATO summit, just days after U .S.President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin about finding peace.

I think he does feel pressure.He wants to end it and Ukraine wants to end it and we're in talks and we'll see if we can get it ended.

Increasingly, Ukraine's defense has been overshadowed.by the U .S.war in Iran, which drained stockpiles of Patriot missiles and led Trump to turn on NATO, accusing allies of disloyalty for refusing to join his fight.We will come to their rescue, but they will never come to ours.Against that backdrop, NATO members are understandably nervous about the summit, fearing Trump will veer off course and turn on them instead of defending Ukraine.

We're at a point of very low trust across the Atlantic, so there's a lot of scope for things going wrong.

case.

W to step up with billions says it needs strong deci alliance about beefing u warning the longer that t civilians will pay the pr Ukraine's drone warfare is increasingly sophisticated.

A Russian oil refinery in Siberia has been hit in what Ukraine describes as the deepest long -range strike since the start of Russia's full -scale invasion.The key Russian oil refinery, the main supplier of aviation fuel, is the largest in western Siberia and is more than 2 ,500 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.Well, it is called the beautiful game, but an ugly reality has hit the World Cup, and the U .S.president is right in the middle of it.After Donald Trump called the head of FIFA, the International Football Association, a player on the U .

S.team had his red card reversed.Players are given red cards by the referee, and they're immediately sent off and can't play the next match.But Donald Trump decided he didn't like that rule.

And I'm a person that loves sports, and was a good athlete.I understand sports really well, really well.And that wasn't a foul.I didn't know what the hell a red card was.When I found out, I said, you've got to be kidding.

A lot of fans and soccer organizations are now saying, you've got to be kidding too.Trump's intervention undermines the rules.Eric Sorensen reports on the backlash.

I don't think it was the correct call, I think.

That's Fuller and Bolligan, three days ago, disagreeing with his red card disqualification, but he accepted it.

It's happened and it's something I have to accept and just move forward from.

Except the U .S.president wasn't prepared to move on and placed a call to FIFA's president.Yeah, I did.I spoke to Johnny.

Because he didn't like the red card.by FIFA.

And in his own statement, FIFA's president added, FIFA's judicial bodies are independent.They operate autonomously.But UEFA, Europe's soccer body, called FIFA's decision incomprehensible and unjustifiable, suggesting if such rules around red cards are not followed, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined.I don't pretend to say football is corrupt, says this Belgian fan, but worldwide, seeing the reaction is striking.This U .S.

fan disagreed with the original red card, But once you give a red, it's a red.In England's match last night, a key player was given a red card.England's manager asking, where do you draw the line?Could England captain Harry Kane call the U .S.president?

The starting point for many was in December, when Infantino gave Donald Trump the new and controversial FIFA Peace Prize.Mr. President, this is your Trump not only intervened with Infantino, he also questioned the integrity of the World Cup referee in the match.This referee, who is a little bit suspect, if you check his past.Whatever Trump has done for the US soccer team, a bigger question may be, what has he done for the integrity of FIFA?Eric Sorensen, Global News, Toronto.

Two conservative premiers have teamed up to push the idea of another new oil and gas pipeline.Ontario's Doug Ford headed west to join Alberta's Danielle Smith today.The pipeline, if built, would span over 3 ,000 kilometres and carry half a million barrels of oil a day from Alberta to Ontario.Heather Urich's West looks at the proposal and what it will take to get shovels in the ground.

Six weeks after blasting the Alberta Premier for her separation referendum call, the Ontario Premier was in Calgary, flipping pancakes and pitching pipelines.

It's a win -win -win.A win for Ontario, a win for Alberta, and a win for all of Canada.

The Ontario government launching a feasibility study on a new pipeline with the intent of submitting it, like Alberta's West Coast pipeline, to the Federal Major Projects Office.

and engage further with potential private sector partners.

The proposed Northern Shield pipeline would connect Hardesty in Alberta with Sarnia, Ontario, carrying 500 ,000 barrels a day of oil and remaining in Canada the whole way.If built, it would be in direct competition with the Enbridge mainline and Line 5, which already transports more than 3 million barrels of oil a day between Edmonton and Sarnia.But the Enbridge line crosses the U .S.border and travels across five states.

There's always been worry about Line 5 being shut down.down by Michigan, or if the U .S.tried to shut oil exports through the U .S.to Sarnia, that would be a problem.

But for the most part, we've run without incident for decades.

It's why this industry expert questions the need for yet another government -subsidized oil pipeline right now, especially with no commitments from oil sands producers to ramp up production to ensure any of the proposed projects will be filled.But Alberta's Premier believes if you build it, the oil will come.

I think that if you look at how we stage it, if we get the incentives right and we get the environment right to do new greenfield development over 10 to 15 years, I have absolute confidence.

Environmental groups like Environmental Defense and Greenpeace have been quick to pan the plan.claiming the route would endanger lake -rich regions of the Canadian Shield, like Muskoka, while turning over tax dollars to oil companies.Donna?

Crowds packed the capital early Monday morning to watch the funeral procession of Iran's late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Under Islamic tradition, his burial should have taken place within days, but the intensity of the conflict meant the funeral had to be delayed.Khamenei's flag -draped coffin was driven a 10 -kilometer route through Tehran, lined with hundreds of thousands of mourners, many displaying their anger at the United States and Israel.their red banners symbolizing vengeance.In my view, we expect Netanyahu and Trump to suffer more than this.We have lost our leader.

We have lost the greatest Islamic leader in the world.There is still a much harsher revenge waiting for them, I am certain of it.America has killed our father.We must kill his father.We must take revenge for our father." The country's president was among those who lined the streets.

But notably, the new supreme leader was not.Three of Khamenei's sons prayed at his coffin on Sunday.But Moktaba, the son who has succeeded him as supreme leader, has not been seen in public since reportedly being seriously wounded in the same Israeli airstrike that killed his father and wife.In Washington, U .S.

Some landed within meters of people's homes.The derailment cut power to the neighborhood.About 200 people were told to leave their homes as a precaution, though the train was not carrying hazardous goods.The cause is under investigation.Rogers Communications is taking it all.It has signed a $4 .35 billion deal to buy the remaining stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.

The arrangement makes Rogers the sole owner of MLSC, the company behind some of Canada's biggest sports franchises, including the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Raptors, Toronto FC, and the Toronto Argonauts.Sean O'Shea explains the takeover and what it could mean for fans.

They're paying $4 .35 billion to own it all.Rogers Communications buying the remaining 25 % of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.The share is owned by Larry Tannenbaum, a figure who's owned a piece of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors.since the mid -90s.The company's CEO called the move a defining moment for Rogers, saying full ownership of MLSC brings together Canada's premier communications company with Canada's premier sports entertainment organization.

And now there's one singular chef in the kitchen to cook.

I think that's great for them.

Rogers will be able to call the shots not just for the Toronto Blue Jays but Raptors and Maple Leafs and reap all the revenue from those teams deciding on its own what to charge fans.

I don't see ticket prices just going up just because you've got a monopolistic owner.

But prices could rise depending on future plans.

That there's more renovations that need to happen to places like Scotiabank Arena.Then you can see ticket prices for the Raptors and Leafs start to increase as well.

Hearing the news, some sports fans are skeptical.I don't like the fact that Rodgers is coming in and taking over, no.

When it's a big corporation, you know, with a lot of different interests, it worries me.

Concerns Rogers will put profit ahead of winning.In a statement, the company's executive chairman, Edward Rogers, said winning is everything for fans and were committed to investing in bringing championships to Canada as a proud owner and long -term steward of these beloved teams.

It would be silly of anyone to think that Rogers would spend billions of dollars to not want to invest in winning championships because, again, Championships make money.

When it comes to winning championships, fans likely care less about ownership than outcome.And for the most profitable team that Rodgers will own outright, the Toronto Maple Leafs, that team hasn't won a Stanley Cup in going on 60 years.Sean O'Shea, Global News Toronto.

Ernest Hemingway puts Pamplomas running at the Bulls on the international map.Next, how the Spanish festival is still tied to the writer a century later.The crowds are back in Pamplona, Spain today for the start of the annual celebration known for the running of the bulls.It's been going on for centuries, but it was Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises, that made it famous beyond Spain.He wrote that book 100 years ago, and as Mike Armstrong explains, its impact is still being felt today.

It's not a party for the faint of heart.San Fermín kicked off Monday in Pamplona's main square.This ceremonial rocket marks the start of a nine -day festival that dates back nearly 800 years.This city, 10 out of 10.Beautiful place, beautiful place.Now, the running of the bulls starts Tuesday.

Six fighting bulls will thunder through the city's narrow streets.But what pulls many people to the experience has for 100 years been a book.The Sun Also Rises was released in 1926.Written by Ernest Hemingway, it's a story about embracing life and danger.Well, it helped turn a local Spanish festival into an international draw.Bill Hillman knew he was going to run with the bulls from the first time he read the novel.

He's been gored three times, but says the experiences helped get him through rough patches in life.

The thing that really kept me going through those bad years was that I had an adventure waiting for me in Spain.I could go to Spain and feel the magic again.

Hemingway has become a part of Pamplona.There's a statue in town, another in a bar he frequented when writing the book, and there's a Hemingway suite in a hotel where he stayed.This local historian says Pamplona inspired Hemingway and made him famous.He, in turn, made the city famous.Well, not everyone is happy with that legacy.

Hemingway wrote about many, many themes that today would not be accepted in society.He writes about hunting, about war, and we don't want to be illustrating these themes today.

I have been writing short stories.

Now, Hemingway was American from Chicago, but when he first visited Pamplona, it was as a reporter for the Toronto Star.What he would create continues a century later to inspire.Mike Armstrong, Global News, Montreal.
