The World This Hour for 2025/10/25 at 14:00 EDT

This ascent isn't for everyone. You need grit to climb this high this often. You've got to be an underdog that always over-delivers. You've got to be 6,500 hospital staff, 1,000 doctors, all doing so much with so little. You've got to be Scarborough. Defined by our uphill battle and always striving towards new heights. And you can help us keep climbing.

The team opened the World Series with a commanding 11 to 4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. And the CBC's Greg Ross was there. The Dodgers may have opened the scoring in game one, but that lead was short-lived. With Los Angeles on top 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning,

Dalton Varsho would tie things up with one swing of the bat, knocking out a two-run home run. The Jays would then explode for nine more runs in the bottom of the sixth, which included this. A high drive to deep right-center field. It is gone. Addison Barger does indeed blow it open with a pinch-hit grand slam.

What a way to make your world's serious. That's Dan Shulman of Roger Sportsnet on the call. The Jays would hang on for an 11-4 victory over Los Angeles in game one. Game two goes tonight at 8 o'clock. Kevin Gosman will get the start on the mound for the Blue Jays. Greg Ross, CBC News, Toronto. In Kuala Lumpur. Prime Minister Mark Carney making small talk on the tarmac after arriving in Malaysia for the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Countries. The Canadian government is framing the trip

as an opportunity to diversify Canada's trading relationship. In a few days, he'll be attending the APEC or Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. U.S. President Donald Trump is also heading to Asia for the two summits. Will you meet with Prime Minister Carney during this trip? I don't have any attention of it now. And he's still doubling down after terminating trade talks with Canada, saying he has no intention of meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney.

We need tariffs for national security, and they totally turned it around because they're getting hurt by tariffs, and we're gaining by tariffs. They've used tariffs on us when we had different presidents very successfully, and they've taken a lot of money out of our country, and now we're taking it all back. Trump was angered by an anti-tariff TV ad paid for by the government of Ontario. It featured part of an anti-tariff speech by former Republican President Ronald Reagan. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he will have the ad polled Monday. Police in the UK are searching for a convicted sex offender who was accidentally released from prison early. He's an asylum seeker set to be deported and his criminal history sparked massive anti-immigrant protests across England. Julia Chapman is more.

Hadouh Kabatu arrived on British soil in a small boat in July. An Ethiopian national, he applied for asylum here. While that claim was being processed, he sexually assaulted a woman and a 14-year-old girl. That led to protests outside the hotel where he was housed. Similar demonstrations followed around the country. Kibatu was due to be deported next week. Instead, the prison released him. It says it was an operational error.

He was last seen yesterday boarding a train heading for London. John Podmore is a former prison inspector. This is what happens in a broken system. The Ministry of Justice says this is a rare error and an officer has been removed from duty while investigations take place. Prime Minister Kier-Starmer says he is appalled by the incident. Opposition leader Kemi Badenock calls it a level of incompetence that beggars belief. Julia Chapman, CBC News, London.

Tropical storm Melissa is now hurricane Melissa. Forecasters say the storm, rather, is moving slow. but it's also deadly. At least three people have been killed in Haiti. As much as 640 millimeters of rain is forecast for Jamaica and parts of Haiti in the Dominican Republic. And there are warnings of potentially life-threatening and catastrophic flash flooding and landslides. That is your world this hour. Remember, you can listen to us wherever you get your podcasts.
