Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be landing in London later today.

Trudeau, Governor General Mary Simon and four former prime ministers are part of a Canadian delegation who will attend Monday's funeral for Queen Elizabeth the Second.

Security is high in London as world leaders begin to arrive for the funeral that's expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people to the city.

Streets around the Palace of Westminster have been blocked off with metal barricades today, with police officers from across the UK directing the crowd waiting to pay their respects to the late queen.

It's expected those now in line will have to wait 24 hours.

Canadian government orders Hikvision to close Canadian business and leave the country

Hikvision's subsidiary in Canada had been operating since 2014. It has also faced sanctions in the US, Australia and the UK. Hikvision said it strongly disagrees with the Canadian government's d

90-day moratorium on tariffs expiring on July 9, no intention to extend: Trump

Trump indicated that most countries will have to face 25 percent, 35 percent or 50 percent or even 10 percent tariffs to sell goods in the US.
