The World This Hour for 2025/06/01 at 15:00 EDT

Other People's Problems was the first podcast to take you inside real-life therapy sessions. I'm Dr. Hilary McBride, and again, we're doing something new. The ketamine really broke down a lot of my barriers. This work has this sort of immediate transformational effect. Therapy Using Psychedelics is the new frontier in mental health. Come along for the trip. Other People's Problems Season 5, available now. From CBC News, the world is sour. I'm Gina Louise Phillips. Prime Minister Mark Carney is meeting with energy executives in Calgary. Carney has said he wants Canada to be an energy superpower.

He'll also be talking about that at the First Minister's Summit in Saskatoon. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he wants to hear Carney's ideas. What I would say our focus is, is yes let's prioritize some projects, let's get them across the line. But let's also not lose sight of the fact that we need to build a regulatory process that works for everyone and works for Canadians so that we can attain those aspirations that Prime Minister Carney has put forward with respect to being the strongest economy in the G7 and a global energy superpower. Tomorrow's meeting is happening amid the wildfires ravaging the Western provinces. Mo says Ottawa has been very supportive, but so far he has not asked for federal aid.

In neighboring Manitoba, some First Nations are frustrated by the slow pace of evacuations. Vice Chief Kelly Linklater of the Matias-Kolom-Kri Nation, also known as Pukatawagan, says his people are scared. Hercules or two would definitely help with that. I'm not sure what the reason why they're not sending in the Hercules or two would definitely help with that. I'm not sure what the reason why they're not sending in the Hercules. This is our fourth major fire we've experienced. That mode of evacuation or evacuating of community members was available at that time. Fire on the Pucketawagan airstrip did slow down those evacuations,

but the band says half of the reserves residents have gotten out. With another round of peace talks just hours away Ukraine and Russia have sharply ramped up their war with one of the largest drone battles of the conflict. Dominic Velaitis has the story. Local people watch on in disbelief as smoke billows from a Russian military air base in Novo-Moltinsk, an audacious attack deep inside Russia. This is how the Belaya airfield looks like. Ukraine says its drones attacked four air bases and hit 40 warplanes. If confirmed, it would be the most damaging Ukrainian drone attack of the war

and a significant setback for Moscow. Meanwhile, Moscow has accused Kiev of blowing up two bridges in separate regions bordering Ukraine, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens more. The incidents came just hours after Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles in an attack on Ukraine early Sunday. The violence comes ahead of Monday's scheduled second round of peace talks in Turkey. Dominique Vellaitis for CBC News, Riga, Latvia. At least 31 people are dead after Israeli tanks reportedly opened fire at an aid center in Gaza.

An ambulance rushed some of the 170 wounded to hospital. Red Cross officials say the crowd was gathered to receive food in the southern city of Rafa. Witnesses say thousands had arrived at the AIDS center, only for Israeli forces to tell them to disperse and come back later. A new study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine is highlighting the significant impact of exercise on cancer survival. Health reporter Christine Bierach explains the research and the results. I think this is a real game changer for patients.

Kerry Cournie teaches in the Faculty of kinesiology at the University of Alberta. He led a landmark trial examining whether exercise can help colon cancer patients live longer. Kearnyay says he found the magnitude of the results surprising. Exercise can result in substantial improvements in cancer recurrence risk, second cancers, and improved survival. Seven years later, 90% of patients in the exercise group were still living, compared to 83% of patients who received the educational materials, a 7% difference. It's quite an impressive study.

Dr. Sami Chatty is a colorectal surgeon at the University Health Network in Toronto. He says 7% is as good as some cancer drugs. I think a structured exercise program, we should be recommending it as strongly as we recommend chemotherapy to our stage 3 patients. Christine Birak, CBC News, Toronto. And that's the World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Gina Louise Phillips.
