Driver rams crowd, killing 11

Canadian prosecutors have charged a 30-year-old Vancouver resident with murder for killing at least 11 people aged between five and 65 and injuring dozens after he rammed a vehicle through a crowd at a Filipino community festival in the western Canadian city, police said. The man, Kai-Ji Adam Lo, was charged with eight counts of second-degree murder by prosecutors in British Columbia and “further charges are anticipated”, according to a post on X by the Vancouver Police. Lo appeared in court on Sunday, hours after police arrested him at the scene of the incident on Saturday evening. Court documents seen by Reuters did not show a plea.

Tariffs can be negotiated or US will ‘just set prices’
