Hey, it's Gavin from Because News. This week on the news quiz, Scott Thompson is here. I've known him for a long time. He always makes me laugh. And he always has something surprising to say about American politics. And it's never what I think he's going to say. Also, we'll talk about vicious compliance from the Ebbington School Board and double dating. Also, we've got Brandon Ash Muhammad and Jan Karwana who are going to try to get a word in edgewise. That's all coming up on this week's Because News. Get it wherever you get your podcasts, which is presumably here. From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings.

Six people are dead after two men today open fire on a busy bus stop in Jerusalem. More than a dozen people are injured with six reported to be in serious condition. Sasha Petrissik has the details. This happened at a big traffic intersection, the north end of Jerusalem, at the end of morning rush hour. So a lot of people there waiting for buses to go into the West Bank, into Jerusalem, and into Tel Aviv. Two men dressed in black arrived in a car. They ran across a busy road and boarded a bus. That bus was packed, according to eyewitnesses, and they started shooting.

This, of course, set off a panic. a lot of people were injured. At some point, security forces arrived, and the two men were shot and killed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a statement saying that we are at war against terror on several fronts. There was a statement from Hamas this morning as well. They do not take responsibility for the attack, but they did praise the two attackers. They said this was a natural response to Israel's actions in Gaza and especially Israel. the West Bank. Sasha Petrissik, CBC News, Jerusalem.

New research is highlighting the significant gaps in policy and training that exists surrounding sepsis. Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It's the body's extreme response to infection, and in the early stages, can be hard to detect. Sarah McMillan reports. Their in-action caused us, our whole family, everything. Garinder Sidu's life was turned upside down when his wife died in June from septic shock days after giving birth at a Mississauga, Ontario hospital.

Sidu believes his wife's death could have been prevented if hospital staff had recognized early signs of sepsis. Now I learned that nothing was normal about those symptoms. The hospital hasn't commented on this case citing patient privacy but says it has a thorough review process. Since his wife's death, Sidu has been advocating for new sepsis policies in hospitals across Ontario. The province doesn't have specific. specific sepsis guidelines. And new research highlights that it's not alone. We found that there were pretty serious gaps. Dr. Callie Barrett is one of the researchers who looked at policies and training across the country. Some provinces like BC and Saskatchewan do

have sepsis policies, but most do not. Sarah McMillan, CBC News, Toronto. The investigation continues into yesterday's hard landing by a WestJet plane in the Caribbean. The incident happened at the main airport on St. Martin. Sarah Reid has more. Sounds on board the West Jet flight after one of the plane's landing gear collapsed at Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Martin. The hard landing saw the right wing of the plane hit the runway, leading emergency crews to immediately evacuate all 164 passengers, none of who were injured. Then they're going to get the cockpit waste recorder tape. It could be pile of error and it could be totally mechanical error.

Keith Mackie is an aviation safety consultant and says it's hard. hard to say what caused the incident. Well, we don't know whether it was a hard landing or it could have been a mechanical issue with a gear, but at any rate, the right landing year collapsed and dropped the wingtip to the ground. So consequently, they had to use the emergency slides to evacuate the airplane. With the damaged plane now sitting on the runway, the airport says it will remain closed until Monday afternoon. The incident will now be investigated by the Dutch Safety Board. And experts say Canada's Transportation Safety Board will also be involved.

Your Reid, CBC News, Edmonton. An editorial published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journalist calling for federal restrictions to govern sports betting ads. It says the ads now dominate sports broadcasts and the legalization of online gambling has made every smartphone a potential betting platform. The lead authors say the brains of children and teenagers are still developing and the constant exposure to gambling messages can normalize potentially harmful behavior. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
