| | | Hello. Canada's prime minister has delivered his second public remarks since the collapse of US trade talks - we have the latest. From the US, we report on the car race that took over the streets of Washington DC. And finally, spot the mistake in this year's Sydney Marathon medals. | | | | | | |
| TOP OF THE AGENDA | | Carney focuses on 'building Canada strong' | | |  | | On the trade talks, Carney said: "We could not accept what the US has offered, nor could we give what they asked." Credit: Reuters | | The podium from where Canada's Mark Carney spoke bore a clear statement of intent, "Building Canada strong", in English and French. His speech focused on the country's resilience and willingness to seek trade partners farther than its closest neighbour. Carney said US President Donald Trump's threat to impose new tariffs on Canadian vehicles from 1 January was "not a surprise" but that it would hurt US workers. Other Canadian politicians echoed his comments. "I feel sorry for Americans right now that they have a president that is so disinterested in their cost of living concerns," said British Columbia premier David Eby, defending Canada's right to retaliate. US and Canadian business owners we spoke to expressed concerns about the new tariffs' impact. US Vice-President JD Vance said the administration's goal was a "fair deal" for states that do business with Canada. | | | | | | | | |

| | | IndyCar speeds through US capital |  | | Organisers of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix said about 140,000 people were expected to attend. Credit: Reuters | | Professional road racing transformed the streets of the US capital on Sunday. The IndyCar race marked the culmination of a series of summer events to celebrate the country's 250th birthday. It has presented logistical and security challenges for the city, leading to road closures, manholes being bolted down, and road resurfacing. | | | | | | Kwasi Gyamfi Asiedu and Helena Humphrey, BBC News | | | | | | On race day, the roar of celebration appeared to largely drown out any irritation. Many of those lining the circuit were there after winning tickets through a public lottery. Some wore Uncle Sam hats, while one woman came dressed as the Statue of Liberty. Families had travelled from across the country for what they saw as a once-in-a-lifetime event.
US driver Josef Newgarden told the BBC that the significance of racing through the capital was not lost on him. "It's super unique. You might never see this again, and as an American driver, it's very special celebrating the 250th anniversary of the country," he said. "It's a beautiful city, and it's very surreal." | | | | | - Watch: Our reporter Helena Humphrey took a test drive ahead of the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. See how it went.
