The World This Hour for 2025/10/28 at 08:00 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 Dodgers win and they take a two-to-one lead in the World Series. It took 18 innings for game three to be decided with Freddie Freeman. Freeman the hero for L.A. 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 will do it again tonight. Shane Bieber starting game four for Toronto. For the Dodgers, it is superstar Shohei Otani. 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. Nick Davis has the latest. Hurricane Melissa is slowly turning inland towards Jamaica, but as the storm continues west, it's placed areas that we're expecting heavy impacts 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 windfield. Instead, areas along the south coast, the central rural communities in the interior and the coastal resort areas like Nagler 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. At this point, Melissa will be arriving with heavy rains and winds at 280 kilometers an hour. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is accusing Hamas violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement. He says the remains of the hostage returned yesterday are actually the body parts of a hostage recovered by Israeli troops almost two years ago. There are still the bodies of 13 hostages in Gaza, and the slow recovery of their remains is delaying the next stage of the ceasefire. Using its majority to fast-track the process, Alberta's United Conservative government has passed back-to-work legislation that ends up. the province's teacher strike.

Last night, government MLAs voted and passed the bill through three debate stages in just six and a half hours. Julia Wong reports. It also invokes the notwithstanding clause to help ensure stability for the school system moving forward. Booze and jeers, as the Alberta government tables bill two to force 51,000 striking teachers back to work. Ending a three-week-long strike,

the province will impose the last contract offer teachers overwhelmingly rejected, and it's using the notwithstanding clause to protect the bill from a charter challenge, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. And this is a unique strike. We've never had 51,000 workers off the job at the same time. The Alberta Teachers Association is angry. And exploring legal options, says President Jason Schilling. And I'll tell you right now, if they think by what they have done here today is going to

quiet down the tens of thousands of voices of teachers across this province, then they're sorely mistaken. Students and teachers are expected to be back in schools Wednesday. Julia Wong, CBC News, Edmonton. Flight delays are mounting across the United States as the month-long government shutdown continues to squeeze air travel across the country. Los Angeles International had dozens of delays yesterday, while Dallas and Austin are reporting across the board delays of at least 40 minutes.

The FAA even ordered a one-hour ground stop in Austin due to staffing shortages. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is warning that travelers should brace for more delays and cancellations as air traffic controllers continue to work without pay.
