Disappointment, but one more chance. The Los Angeles Dodgers have beaten the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in game six of the World Series. Barger is doubled off on the play, and if it stands, the Dodgers have won the game. That play, of course, did stand. Jamie Straschen breaks down game six for us. The 2025 World Series will come down to a winner-take-all game 7 Saturday night in Toronto on a night when Blue Jay fans at the Rogers Center and across the country were ready to celebrate. It was the Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff that silenced the crowd and Blue Jay bats to force a deciding game.

Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto had the Blue Jay batters off balance through six innings. The Dodgers bullpen did the rest. Blue Jay starter Kevin Gosman was also effective, striking out eight days. Dodgers over six innings. The pivotal moment came in the third inning. The Blue Jays chose to walk Japanese superstar Shohei Otani. Former league MVP Muki Betts made them pay with a key two-run single. The Jays mounted a rally in the bottom of the ninth, but as was the story all night, were unable to deliver a key hit when they needed it most. Forty-year-old Max Scherzer will get the ball in game seven as the Jays looked to win their first World Series in more than 30 years.

Jamie Strashon, CBC News, Toronto. The Supreme Court has ruled unconstitutional, one-year mandatory minimum jail sentences for child pornography, saying the law denies judges the flexibility to impose sentences other than imprisonment when appropriate. Conservative leader Pierre Pollyev calls the court's ruling wrong-headed. I would oppose the ruling and I would use the notwithstanding clause to overturn it, and my future government will introduce mandatory prison sentences

for possession of child pornography so that dirtbags like this go away for a very long time. That comment coming during an interview with CBC Chief Political Correspondent or Mary Barton. You can see the full interview Sunday morning on Rosemary Barton Live at 11 a.m. Eastern on CBC television or wherever you stream, CBC News. Critical minerals will soon be deemed essential to Canadian defense and national interests. The federal government says that will allow Canada to safeguard and speed up production. Anand Rahm explains.

I'm also very pleased to announce today the first round of 25 new strategic projects. Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson wrapped up two days of meetings with his G7 counterparts with good news for the mining industry. Working with our allies, we are unlocking $6.4 billion in critical mineral projects. Part of that money involves deals with Canadian companies involved in minerals like graphite, scandium, and rare earth elements all crucial in future technologies. They call it the new oil. But a global environmental issue is how energy-intensive mining can be. Iab Alaini with the Canadian Climate Institute says there are solutions. Do you need to electrify everything that you can?

And Canada's electricity system is, for the most part, clean. But environmental discussions at this G7 revolved around water and reducing pollution. The main focus has been uniting around a real plan to combat China's dominance in the critical minerals industry. Onondrom, CBC News, Toronto. researchers are using sawdust to clean up dirty water. Their ultimate goal, remove forever chemicals like PFAs. Eulene, who is assistant professor of engineering at the University of P.E.I. Researchers at that school are turning that sawdust into activated carbon, an element in household water filters.

Activated carbon, which is a very effective, absorbent materials, then can use to clean out the wastewater and then clean out the drinking water as well. So that is overall, like, my work here that we wanted to turn waste and then into the valuable products to help people. Who says right now they're testing water contaminated with synthetic dyes, but eventually they'll test their activated carpet on a real wastewater, excuse me, outside the lab. And recapping our top story, the World Series is now tied at three games apiece, with the Toronto Blue Jays falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday night 3 to 1, game 7 goes Saturday night. That is your world this hour for CBC News. I'm Mike Miles.
