The World This Hour for 2025/10/28 at 11:00 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.

as the LA Dodgers won game 3, 6 to 5 in 18 innings. Freddie Freeman won it for L.A. with a walk-off home run and the Dodgers take a 2-1 series lead. The game lasted 6 hours and 39 minutes. And ready or not, the two teams will do it again tonight. Shane Bieber starting game four for Toronto for the Dodgers. It's Shohei Otani. Now to Jamaica and the approach of Hurricane Melissa.

The hurricane, which is now a category five, is set to make land at some point over the next few hours. With sustained winds at 280 kilometers an hour, and intense rainfall, it is 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,

Ending a three-week-long strike, the province will impose the last contract offer teachers overwhelming. overwhelmingly rejected, and it's using the notwithstanding clause to protect the bill from a charter challenge, Alberta Premier Daniel 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.
