The World This Hour for 2025/10/28 at 12:00 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.

It ended in a Blue J loss, but if you stayed up through to the bitter end, it's a World Series game you will never forget. 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.

with Freddie Freeman, the hero for L.A., his solo home run giving the Dodgers a 6-5 victory and a 2-1 series lead. The game took more than six and a half hours to finish. And now, with a short turnaround, they'll do it again tonight. Shane Bieber starts game four for Toronto for the Dodgers at Superstar Shohei Otani. Now to Jamaica and the approach of Hurricane Melissa. It is set to make landfall at some point over the next few hours, and it's 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 wind field.

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 winds at 200, and 80 kilometers an hour. And the island nation's 2.8 million people are being urged to gather food

and essential medications and to be prepared for severe flash flooding and storm surge. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is accusing Hamas of 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. On the second leg of his nine-day Indo-Pacific tour, Prime Minister Mark Carney today is in Singapore. He's talking trade ahead of his meeting later this week at the APEC summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Murray Brewster has more.

It's the start of a broader discussion. That is how Prime Minister Mark Carney describes his upcoming meeting with China's Xi Jinping at the Apex Summit. It's been a long time in coming. The last official meeting between a Canadian Prime Minister and China's top politician was in 2017. Before relations went into a deep freeze over the arrest of a top Chinese tech executive, the detention of two Canadians, and before the latest trade fight, which has seen both Canada and China impose crippling tariffs on one another over electric vehicles and canola. Carney is hoping for a reset.

You know, relationships rebuild over time when they have, been, when they have changed, when they've changed for the worst. Trump is also expected to meet Xi at the APEC summit, as the U.S. and China have agreed on a framework to settle their trade dispute, a deal that could have global implications. Murray Brewster, CBC News, Singapore. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hagsess says the American military has carried out another round of military strikes on four boats in the eastern Pacific. He says the operation was targeting what he calls narco-terrorism.

14 people were killed in the strikes, which were conducted in international waters. Hegzes says there was one survivor with Mexican authorities assuming responsibility for coordinating the rescue. This is the first time the U.S. has announced multiple strikes in a single day. And that is the world this hour. For news any time, go to our website. We're at cBCNews.ca.
