Global National: June 6, 2026 | Canada bans Texas livestock imports over Screwworm parasite concerns

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has declared a state of disaster after a new case of the New World screwworm. Late Friday, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that it's temporarily closing the border to Texas livestock to prevent the parasite's introduction and protect animal health. The screwworm fly lays its eggs in the open sores of animals, and its larvae feed on the flesh of their host. Global's Nathaniel Dove reports. While anticipation and excitement is building for the upcoming World Cup, FIFA is also facing criticism, accused of squeezing soccer fans for every penny. The sport's governing body just reversed course on water bottle restrictions after its bottle ban sparked public outcry. As Sarah MacDonald reports, FIFA has also sidelined a Vancouver fundraiser. Despite the ceasefire, the U.S. and Iran launched more strikes overnight as the two sides remain deadlocked to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. President Donald Trump is adamant that the war will end soon, but as Reggie Cecchini reports, Iran is not backing down. In Albania, protesters rallied against a luxury resort development that’s linked to U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. They’re calling for a halt to construction on the 10,000-unit project, claiming it will permanently alter the pristine environment that’s home to exotic wildlife. Albania’s government says the project would be transformational for the former communist nation as it seeks to attract more tourists. Redmond Shannon reports.
