but it ends as a blue jay loss and the l a dodgers taking game three of the world series thomas degla has the details and in front of a stadium full of bleary-eyed fans, Freddie Freeman walked it off. Last year's World Series MVP, born to Canadian parents, Freeman blasted a solo homer to center field claiming game three for the Dodgers

6 to 5. Oh my gosh. Just pure excitement. Freeman's game winner capped off a marathon that lasted longer than two average big league games combined. Jay's manager John Schneider. The Dodgers didn't win the World Series today. They won

they won a game, you know what I mean? Amid it all, the sports biggest star Shohei Otani belted four extra base hits. Otani is set to start on the mound in game four. Tonight, Thomas Daggle, CBC News, Los Angeles. Now to Jamaica and the approach of

Hurricane Melissa. I have seen and heard that it's going to be very catastrophic. That is the manager of an emergency shelter in Montego Bay. The hurricane, which is now a category five, is set to make land at some point this morning and with sustained winds at 280 kilometers an hour and intense rainfall, it's being called the most powerful storm on the planet this year. The island nation's 2.8 million people are being urged to gather food and essential medications and to be prepared for extended

periods without power. Flash flooding and storm surge are also a concern with Melissa, which grew from just a tropical storm into a monster Category 5 in a matter of just days. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire agreement. He says the remains of the hostage returned yesterday are actually the body parts of a hostage who was recovered by Israeli troops almost two years ago. There are still the bodies of 13 hostages in Gaza, and the slow recovery of those remains is delaying the next stage of the ceasefire. Hamas says it's struggling to locate the bodies amid the vast destruction in Gaza.

Israel says the militant group is purposely delaying their return. Using its legislative majority, Alberta's United Conservative government is fast-tracking its back-to-work bill that will put an end to the province's teachers' strike. 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 that's criticism Premier Danielle Smith is ignoring. We know and feel like this is 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 have contacted us. I 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 is NDP leader, Nahed Nenshi. 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?

Alberta's 51,000 teachers have been on strike now since October the 6th. Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Singapore today on the second leg of his visit to Asia. And the only item on his agenda is drumming up investment for major projects back home. in Canada. That includes pitching the heads of some major investment funds that Canada is looking for investment to spur nation-building projects. This visit comes after an attempt to visit Japan during this nine-day trip fell through when Tokyo's coalition government collapsed earlier this month. And that is the world this hour.
