but it didn't end well for the blue jays the dodgers win it and they take a two to one lead in the world series it took 18 innings for game three to be decided and ala's freddie freeman is the hero, his solo home run gave the Dodgers a 6-5 victory and a 2-1 series lead. The game took six hours and 39 minutes to finish. And now with a quick turnaround, the two teams, do it again tonight. Shane Bieber starting game four for the Jays for the Dodgers at Superstar Shohei Otone. Now to Jamaica and the approach of Hurricane Melissa. It is set to make landfall at some point this morning and is arriving as a monster category five storm. Nick Davis has a latest. Hurricane Melissa is slowly turning inland towards Jamaica, but as the storm continues west,

it's placed areas that we're expecting heavy impact to lessen in severity and others to now face the full brunt of this Category 5 hurricane. The drift has allowed it to build an intensity over the sea and take the capital, Kingston, home to nearly a million people out of the impact area and the major wind field. Instead, areas along the south. south coast, the central rural communities in the interior, and the coastal resort areas like Nagir and Montego Bay are expected to see greater hurricane conditions. With much of the emergency response based around the capital, this could leave some communities isolated for days and without power for weeks. That's Nick Davis reporting from Kingston, Jamaica. Now, Hurricane

Melissa was just a tropical storm over the weekend, but in a matter of just days, it has grown into full Category 5 strength, which is a development that is due to climate change, the new norm. Anait Singh has more. We've had five hurricanes and now four of them have undergone this extreme rapid intensification. Shell Winkley is an expert with Climate Central, a New Jersey-based science non-profit that's analyzing the rapid strengthening of Hurricane Melissa, which it says is fueled by an overheating planet. This is something that we didn't see a couple decades ago, but that we're now seeing at least every season.

Hurricanes derive energy from the heat in ocean water, and ocean temperatures in the Caribbean are unusually high, about two to three degrees above normal. Oceans absorb excess heat from the atmosphere, which has been warming because of human-cause greenhouse gas emissions. Last year saw the highest average ocean temperatures on record globally. Experts say it's a warning sign that the overheated oceans will continue leading to more and more destructive hurricanes. In Ayat Singh, CBC News, Toronto.

Using its legislative majority, Alberta's United Conservative government is fast-tracking its back-to-work bill to put an end to the strike by the province's 51,000 teachers. The bill invokes the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Constitution, which is drawing criticism from the teachers' union and labor groups right across the country. But it's criticism that Premier Danielle Smith is ignoring. We know and feel like this is the... the right bargaining decision. So I would just hope that people would look at their own personal circumstances and just give an honest assessment of whether they think it's fair. Most of the parents

I talk to, they think it's fair. Many of the teachers who've contacted us, they think it's fair. And I think most of all, it's fair to the students who are the ones who are most impacted. As for the opposition, here's Ndip-Lead Menchie. They've taken the nuclear option on something that they could have avoided. And Albertans will be forgiven for asking themselves, who's next? What rights does this Premier want to defend, and which ones is she willing to trample over, and for whom? The Alberta teachers have been on strike now since October 6th. And that is the world this hour.
