Global National: Jan. 27

Saturday is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It's a time to reflect and remember one of the darkest times in human history. As part of the campaign in Canada, public venues across the country, including monuments, city halls, public legislatures, and more will be bathed in yellow light in memorial of those murdered. And German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says there are growing concerns as right-wing groups gain significant political support among Germans, including one part that has sparked protests over revelations its members took part in a secret meeting with extremist groups. Plus, as the U.S. campaign trail heats up, there are fears our southern neighbour is becoming less attractive to Canadians taking on foreign posts. Personal safety and health care are high on the list of growing concerns. The union representing Canada's foreign service officers is urging the federal government to take those issues more seriously.
