Tuesday marked the fifth national day for truth and reconciliation. Across the country, people paused and remembered survivors and children who never made it home from residential schools. David Thurton has more from Ottawa. And if it's in the watch means to listen, that was our Algonquin name, until the missionaries, the priest, they change it, or government, whoever changed it? As children, Jackie Pizzinowatch and her brother Eddie,

were taken to a church-run residential school in Kenora, Ontario. Like so many forced into the government-funded institutions, they returned with painful memories. In talk to my sisters, they were just sitting there, you're traumatized, and they're trying to know. You don't know what the state think, you know? Both siblings were in Ottawa. For ceremonies marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

So was Prime Minister Mark Carney. Canada's new government is moving forward on the truth and reconciliation's commissions calls for action. Carney says he's committed to advancing the work of the commission through addressing gaps in health care, housing, and economic opportunity. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa. A powerful earthquake has shaken several cities in the Philippines. with a magnitude 6.9.9 people are dead and search teams are looking for more victims in the rubble. The city of Bogo is among the worst hit. John Sebastian Sitchin is a journalist with Rappler, an online news website in the Philippines. It was very strong. I was at the roof deck of a building

and I was accompanied by a few of my friends. Right then and there, we had to act immediately and evacuate from the building. And we started noticing a lot. lot of vehicles beeping away. Some of the structures on the building, we started noticing some tattering on the paint, and a lot of the residents, of course, were in panic. So it was a lot to digest for the people of Cebu. And we're still getting more updates now from the aftershocks and recent collapses of infrastructures in different parts of the region. That's journalist John Sebastian Sitchan reporting tonight from Lapu-Lapu City in the Philippines. U.S. President Donald Trump says the Palestinian militant group Hamas has three or four

days to respond to his Gaza peace proposal. Trump announced the plan Monday following a three-hour meeting at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan has the backing of Israel, Arab, and European nations, along with Canada. In Washington, U.S. Senate Democrats have voted down a Republican bill to keep funding the American government. On this vote, the azer 47 and azer 53, the 60-vote threshold of having not been achieved, the bill upon reconsideration is not passed. And that means a shutdown of the U.S. government is supposed to begin this hour. Something that hasn't happened in nearly seven years. Chuck Schumer leads the Democratic Party in the U.S. Senate.

He blames Republicans. We see now Republicans are plunging America into a shutdown, rejecting bipartisan talks, pushing a partisan bill, they've got to sit down and negotiate with Democrats to come to a bill that both parties can support. John Barrasso is the Republican whip in the U.S. Senate. He blamed Schumer. Well, the radical wing of the Democrat Party demanded that Chuck Schumer shut down the government and he did that today.

What that radical wing had told him to do was work with them through his war room. He had a war room going for the last eight weeks to, orchestrate the shutdown. The U.S. government will continue to run essential services. And finally, the United Nations is doubling the size of its security mission in Haiti. More than 3,000 people have died in violence between the country's gangs, police, and vigilante groups in the first half of this year. Canada has pledged $60 million towards the new security measures. And that is your world this hour. I'm Neil Hurland. Thank you.
