Biden speaks, TikTok offices ordered closed, 2024 hottest year, and more

Your World Tonight

U.S. President Joe Biden publicly spoke for the first time since Tuesday’s election. He urged Americans to ‘bring down’ the temperature after weeks of inflamed rhetoric. He promised a peaceful transition to a Donald Trump administration, which is already hard at work planning its next steps.

And: The federal government is closing Canada’s TikTok offices, citing concerns over national security. But Canadians can still access the popular app, raising questions about what this move accomplishes and whether more needs to be done to protect users and national security.

Also: 2024 is “virtually certain” to be the hottest year ever recorded, according to a new report from the European climate service. And some experts warn things could heat up even more when Donald Trump returns to the White House next year.

Plus: Border concerns in the U.S. and Canada, and how a Canadian-made app is helping rescue the stories of veterans, before their legacies fade.
