Oh, Canada. You know, I'm a real estate developer at heart. The president has his eye on the property next door, but the owners say not for sale. It won't be for sale ever. Ever say never. From CBS News headquarters in New York, this is the CBS Evening News. Good evening. I'm John Dickerson.
I'm Maurice Dubois in Rome where the Cardinals of the Catholic Church have gathered and tomorrow they will begin electing a Pope. We'll have much more about that in a moment.
But we begin with the story of two feuding neighbors. One, a former real estate developer, has the other over to the house for a chat and tells him he has his eye on his property and would like to have it. That is what happened today when the president of the United States welcomed the prime minister of Canada to the Oval Office. Weijia Zhang is at the White House. Weijia?
Good evening, John. For months, President Trump has taunted Canada by claiming it should become America's 51st state. Today, Canada's new prime minister, elected in part to take on Trump's aggression, said he asked Trump to stop saying that and that it's not going to happen. This was the backdrop as the two countries try to resolve tensions over trade.
The Oval Office meeting started with pleasantries. I really want to congratulate him. It was probably one of the greatest comebacks in the history of politics. You're a transformational president, focused on the economy.
Then, an awkward turn when Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney defended his country's sovereignty from President Trump's suggestion that Canada become part of the U.S. Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign last several months, it's not for sale, won't be for sale. But never say never. Never say never. The two leaders met amid a tense trade dispute, with both countries imposing new tariffs since March.
Today, Trump said he's not ready to budge. Is there anything he can say to you in the course of your meetings with him today that would get you to lift tariffs on Canada? No. Why not? Just the way it is.
Among the Canadian tariffs, 25% on all American-made spirits. And most Canadian provinces have removed all U.S. alcohol products from retail stores. No doubt, it's an anxious, anxious time for the distilled spirits industry. Chris Swanger leads a group that represents hundreds of American distilleries who are closely watching negotiations.
Canada, their second largest customer after the European Union, buys $250 million worth of U.S. spirits a year.
How much of an impact is the Canada component alone having on American companies? Pretty significant, pretty significant. It has all but shut down the export of American distilled spirits products to Canada. What are you hearing from these small distilleries? Do they think they can weather this storm? It's a challenge, no doubt. I mean, the current economy and the uncertainty, but we do have hope.
Weijia, I want to ask you about another matter. Late this afternoon, we learned that India fired missiles inside Pakistan. Remind us why that is so dangerous. And also, what's the White House reaction to this?
Well, President Trump says he was just briefed on this attack, which he called a shame. It unfolded two weeks after suspected Pakistan-backed militants killed 26 tourists and injured several others in the Indian-held territory of Kashmir. And the reason this is so worrisome, John, is because both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers. Trump says that after decades of fighting, he hopes their conflict ends quickly.
Weijia Zhang at the White House. Thank you, Weijia. Now, more of the top stories from around the world in the Evening News Roundup. President Trump says the U.S. will stop bombing Houthi militants in Yemen. He says the Iranian-backed rebels have agreed to stop targeting ships in the Red Sea over the war in Gaza. The Houthis have not confirmed this.
Israel's far-right minister of finance warns that the Gaza Strip will be destroyed and that Palestinians will start to leave the territory in great numbers for other countries. Israel, for now, is giving Hamas a small window to negotiate a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
The U.S. Supreme Court is temporarily allowing the president to enforce his ban on transgender people serving in the military, while legal challenges to the policy move forward. And Attorney General Pam Bondi showed off the haul from one of the largest fentanyl busts in U.S. history, including about three million pills labeled as oxycodone. Bondi says the Mexican Sinaloa cartel was trafficking the drugs across five western states.
The conclave to elect the next pope opens in just a few hours. And a new CBS News poll out tonight indicates most American Catholics would like to see another Francis. More than three quarters told us they approve of the direction in which he led the church. We sampled opinions here in Rome as well.
This is the Piazza del Popolo, or People's Square, where espresso supercharges the Italian national sport, conversation. The talk this week is about who will lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.
There are nuances to any religious discussion, but the 133 cardinals at this conclave will either continue the direction set by Francis, reemphasize traditional doctrine, or find some place in between. This last pope is a tough act to follow. According to a CBS News poll just released, more than 60% of U.S. Catholics believe the next pope should continue the teachings of Pope Francis or use more progressive ones.
The Cardinals will gather inside the Sistine Chapel where they will take an oath of secrecy before they hold their first ballot. A two-thirds vote is needed to select a new pope. If that threshold is not met, the Cardinals continue with a second round of voting the following morning. And so it goes. In this modern age of communication, the Cardinals will rely on a smoke signal to tell the world whether there's a new pope. Black for no, white for yes.
Well, it's really anybody's guess isn't right we spoke to father Sam Sawyer a journalist and father Anthony Lusvardi who teaches theology here They're longtime friends from the u.s. With different views tell me your Philosophical disposition if you will left center right middle where I Would say
I'm fairly traditional. If you start to align yourself with a camp or something like that, it makes it harder to see things objectively. How would you describe your priority as a Catholic? How can we make what the church is offering a little more attractive, a little more credible, a little more understandable? What are you hoping
will happen. What are you hoping to see? Who are you hoping to see? Certainly, I want to see an emphasis on the, again, the fundamentals. I think the big challenge for us today in the society that we're in is forming Christians because in previous times,
centuries, the previous millennium, we could kind of rely on the culture to form Christians for us. - What about you? What are you looking for in the next pope? - So some of the things we all remember from Pope Francis, things like him embracing the man with the neurofibromatosis.
That kind of encounter made the gospel sort of come alive for people. How long is this conclave going to last? I wouldn't be surprised if it goes into next week. Right now there is a spirit of division within the church that I think is going to make it harder to get to that two-thirds.
Well, we certainly hope he's wrong about that. Father Sam Sawyer's point is the Cardinals are from all over the world, the most geographically diverse ever for a conclave. And they have different concerns in parts of Africa. For example, they may be thinking about things like polygamy or in Australia and New Zealand. They'll be talking about climate change, perhaps, and so on, which might take some extra time. We'll all have to wait and see.
We don't know when the conclave will end, but it begins tomorrow morning with a special mass. And then 133 cardinals will be locked inside the Sistine Chapel. One will come out a pope. Here's Seth Doan.
It's a polling place like no other. The Sistine Chapel has been readied, as has the papal cassock, tailored in three possible sizes. Just who will fill that robe is up to these men. You have to pray so that all things will go well. Who are, well, discreet.
You can tell the cardinals from their red hats or "zouketo" of course, but in these days also from the groups of people and press around them. Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algeria gave us a glimpse of those official pre-conclave discussions. Are names mentioned? No, no names. But names are starting to emerge, says papal biographer Austin Ivory.
A lot of that king-making is happening now. It's happening over steaming bowls of pasta and white wine all across Rome. On the unofficial shortlist for Pope, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, its top diplomat. Cardinal Parolin is still clearly a frontrunner. He's well known to people. I think he will get a strong showing. So will Cardinal Tagli, a magnificent evangelizer.
A native of the Philippines, Luis Antonio Tagle would be the first pope from East Asia. There's Cardinal Pizarro Bala, who's well known for his work in the Middle East, knows both Israelis and Palestinians very, very well. And he gets...
praised by both sides, which is no small achievement. Ivory thinks those in the mold of Francis are more likely to prevail, but there are traditionalists too. Cardinal Peter Erdo, Archbishop of Budapest, has traditionally been understood as the flag bearer of the conservatives.
And there could be a surprise. I think you should probably get ready to have the first American pope, though. American pope? I'm hearing that Cardinal Provost, Chicago-born. Traditionally, people have said you can't elect an American because you can't have a superpower under pope. So we just don't know.
Now, in that latest CBS News poll, about a third, 31% of Catholics in the U.S. said they would like the next pope to come from the U.S. And it's worth noting that Francis was not widely considered a frontrunner before he was elected pope. I think he nailed it at the end there. We just don't know. We don't know. Seth Doan, thanks so much. And CBS News will bring you live coverage of the opening of the conclave tomorrow morning. Our coverage begins at 10.30 Eastern, 7.30 in the West.
And still ahead on the CBS Evening News, Lottie Quinn on a tornado risk tonight back in the States. And we'll have these stories. I'm Dave Malkoff in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. A year ago, we saw the devastation of a tornado here and then felt the hope of a survivor named River. We're going to meet back up with that little boy on tonight's Eye on America.
And I'm Chris Van Cleave in Los Angeles. Some real changes coming to airport security with the implementation of Real ID. We explain what you need to know coming up on the CBS Evening News.
We have been warned about it for years. Now the day has come. Starting tomorrow, you will need a real ID to board a plane. Maybe. Chris Van Cleave is in Los Angeles. He's our senior transportation correspondent. Chris, what is the real deal on Real ID?
Well, John, it's real serious in that if you come to an airport checkpoint starting at midnight, you are going to need to show a real ID compliant form of identification. Here's what that looks like. Look for a little star up in the corner of the ID, or if you have a passport or a handful of other compliant IDs at TSA.gov, you'll breeze right through. If not, you're going to get pulled aside for additional screening. TSA says their goal is to get everyone onto their flights, but they're saying if you have that legacy ID, be here at least three hours early.
Chris, we're going to travel to Newark Airport where there was that outage recently. We've got some audio of the tower when that happened. Let's listen to it. Went black and they have no frequencies. I imagine people are thinking, could this happen at my airport? What do you say?
And the short answer is yes. It's an old system, and it appears in this case in New York, it was at least partially due to a copper wire failing. That's some of the most complex, busy airspace in the country. If it can happen there, as Secretary Duffy said, it can happen anywhere until the system is upgraded. Chris Van Cleve for us. Thank you very much. Chris?
The fire department in the Dallas suburb of Colleyville says a lightning strike yesterday set a house on fire. Three people were injured. Lonnie Quinn is tracking more potentially dangerous weather tonight. Lonnie?
You betcha, John. And I'm glad you're talking about Texas because it wasn't just thunder and lightning out there. We had twists in the atmosphere. You were looking at Jewett, Texas, a tornado touchdown there. Just look at the damage there. We'll get more stats on how strong that tornado was tomorrow when the National Weather Service investigates it. But where it is right now, you know, this area shaded in yellow, anywhere from eastern Texas into, I'll say, Louisiana, even into Mississippi later tonight, we still have a tornado watch.
That's in effect. And the toughest time period could be, say, 10:00 PM until about 1:00 AM in the morning. Then that watch should be allowed to expire. And then it will push again on its way as you go through your day tomorrow. All the while, flooding a big concern. Even if you don't have that twist in the atmosphere, that's a lot of rain. It's finally moving and on its way getting into Thursday. But what is going on with our atmosphere? Why has everything just been stalled out there?
It's because of something called an omega block. Now, I want you to think about the Greek alphabet letter omega, shaped like a big U. Well, you know what? Here you have that big U in our atmosphere. That's the bad weather. On one side, you've got a high-pressure system. The other side, a high-pressure system. It's bottlenecked in there. It can't move. Thankfully, tomorrow, all of this starts to break down. The winds will start to flow in a more zonal fashion, meaning from west to east, and a moving storm.
No great shakes there, but a moving storm is better than a stationary storm. John, guys, it's all yours. And now I know about an omega block. It's good to see you walking the map again, Lonnie. Thank you. Ion America is next. Tonight, we return to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where people are rebuilding their homes and lives one year after the tornado.

One year ago this week, tornadoes tore across the southern and central United States. Two people were killed in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. That's where our Dave Malkoff met eight-year-old River Garrett. His home and his life as he'd known it were shattered. Malkoff returned to Bartlesville to check on now nine-year-old Garrett and his family for tonight's "Eye on America." You're not the only tornado survivor here.
Watch out for the poop. On our third visit with River Garrett, accompanied by his mini horse... This is Jerry. Hi, Jerry. He showed us around his grandmother's brand new house in northern Oklahoma. I was scared for my life.
for not just me, like Jerry and my Mimi. - That's because one year ago today on a weekend visit with his Mimi, they all survived a deadly tornado that leveled their ranch and caused $25 million in damage to the area. Two of their neighbors died.
Mimi made that when you were born. Like many here, River's family is still sorting through the bits and pieces they were able to recover, but they consider themselves lucky. In the next town over, the mayor there told us only 5% of his community has been rebuilt since the last time we visited, and River told us this. My mom said, and I said it to myself, that I can't make this about me.
So it's really been quite a year. Yeah. I remember thinking that I hope we get a new house. This is your new bedroom? Yeah. There's some old things too that survived the tornado. This is James. Tonight will be the first night he gets to sleep here. These walls won't be blank anymore. What will you put on them?
Probably Michael Jackson pictures and vinyls. How are you a different person since the tornado? I think I'm more aware of little things that can turn into big things, but I don't always worry about that. You don't sweat the smallest stuff? Yeah, I don't sweat unless it gets bigger over time like the tornado did. Tornado activity like what River lived through has gotten significantly bigger. In the first four months of 2025,
There were 670 tornado reports and 35 deaths in the U.S. That's more than a 43% jump in storms compared to the decade before. I've never been through what you've been through. I wonder if there's any lesson that I could learn from you. Well, rebuilding, it takes a while, it takes hard work, but to me it's putting something back together where it's...
is better than before. Perhaps we can all take a lesson from River. And who wore that? Me. Me. You. That a little perspective can help you heal.

John, it's now past midnight here in Rome. The day of the conclave has come. The day has arrived. Maurice, you described to me what it was like being there when you were there for Pope Francis, when he was named, that St. Peter's just flooded with people. So now is the moment right before that. What is the mood like?
Yeah, and when you contrast that with what it is right now, it's quiet right now. When Francis was named Pope, the place just flooded with people immediately, right? Today, gorgeous, sunny day, tourists all over the area. People wanted to talk about who they think will become the next Pope. People coming up to us and chatting. I talked with a nun from France, and it's for a piece in upcoming days, but her main point was the mother church
is getting ready to give birth. And that's how she put it. It's the anticipation, the excitement of a new beginning. And that's what everybody feels. I mean, to use a Triton analogy, it's like a sporting team starting out zero and zero as the season starts. Hope springs eternal. And that's sort of the sensation you have here in Rome, John. And the scoreboard is the chimney.
That it is. That it is. And that is the CBS Evening News for tonight, John. I'm Maurice Dubois in Rome. I'll be back here. We'll see you tomorrow. Evening News Plus will be next.
