I can tell you where I am, I'm in Jerusalem, actually, in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence, where there are a few hundred people who have gathered here with feelings of mixed emotions, people are elated, so much cheering, many people watching with tears in their

eyes, but there's also a lot of grief. Where I am, there's definitely not a lot of love for Netanyahu, there's a lot of criticism for him. But people are giving Trump a lot of praise, believing that he was instrumental in this deal. He understand that 2,000 Palestinians, the vast majority of them who were detained and held without trial since the beginning of the war, they will be released as well. And U.S. President Donald Trump will be in Israel for just a brief time. And certainly there is a lot of appreciation for him here. Breyer Stewart, CBC News, Jerusalem.

That's Usra Abu Shirek in Central Gaza. We're following a tragic story in South Africa. A bus veered off a road last night and plunged down a steep mountain pass,

While love them or hate them, cranberries are a must on the Thanksgiving table for many Canadians. Lyle Slater has been growing the tart red berries for almost three decades on his farm in rural Ottawa. But he says it may be time to hand over the reins.

Jocamo Panico reports. At Upper Canada Cranberries, owner Lyle Slater takes up his post in front of a conveyor belt. Well, we're just sorting the berries here by hand. We're taking out the miscolored ones. anyone's at her soft. Slater planted his first cranberries here in the late 90s. The idea came to him after picking up a magazine.

I read an article on cranberries and realized the peat bog here was the right pH to grow cranberries. And I sent my wife to get a bag of cranberries and was a phone number on it. And I phoned ocean spray. And they said, yeah, they'd buy all the cranberries I could grow. Since then, his berries have gone into juices, wines, jams, and, of course, sauces.

Slater maintains and operates all the farm's equipment pretty much by himself, but at 77, he says it's become too much for him to handle, so he's selling his farm. It's time. But anyway, it is what it is. Joccombeau-Penico, CBC News, Ottawa. Another big box of Cranberries. The Toronto Blue Jays lost the first game of the American League Championship series last night. And that will do it. The Mariners come into the Rogers Center. and they defeat the Blue Jays 3 to 1 to take game 1 here in this best of 7.

As heard on Roger Sportsnet, the expansion cousin Mariners beat the Jays, making it for a disappointing night for fans of Canada's only Major League baseball team. Game 2 is back this afternoon in Toronto before the series shifts to Seattle for the next three games. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude. Thank you.
