The Dodgers stand tall and win back-to-back titles.

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Jays 5'4 to win the series in seven games. Here's Blue Jays manager, John Schneider. It's hard, you know. I had my first team meeting of the year after the game. There are so many things that unpacked there, not just the series as a whole. You know, seven games, two of them go to extras. I thought we played great baseball. I feel for the guys. You know what I mean? This is a special group of guys. That being said, I am so proud of them.

The Dodgers are the first franchise to win back-to-back titles since the New York Yankees in the late 90s. Police in England are investigating a mass stabbing on a train last night that left two people fighting for their lives. Eight others were injured. Two British nationals have been arrested in what the defense minister says is an isolated attack. Julia Chapman reports from London. As the horror unfolded, some passengers thought they were witnessing a Halloween prank. A guy suddenly run past going, run, run, run. There's a guy stabbing literally everyone at everything. Ollie Foster was on board and says he quickly realized something serious was happening.

There's three people severely bleeding. And one guy is holding his stomach and there's blood coming down the stomach, down his leg. And he's just going help, help of being stabbed. The train was traveling to London from northern England. About 100 kilometres north of the capital, two men reportedly went on a stabbing rampage. Superintendent John Lovelace says police are still working to establish a motive. This stage, there is nothing to suggest that this is a terrorist incident. Some passengers who were on the train describe officers using a taser to stop one man wielding a knife.

Prime Minister Kier-Starmer says the stabbings were appalling and deeply concerning. Julia Chapman, CBC News, London. People in Jamaica are still reeling from Hurricane Melissa. I wish I could explain the pain. The pain, I don't know. Your heart, stomach just burst. It's just too much. This woman fights back tears as she describes losing her home and belongings in Tuesday's storm.

Melissa is the strongest storm to strike Jamaica in modern history, leaving a trail of destruction throughout the Caribbean region. At least 28 people were killed due to the storm. The devastation is also renewing calls for richer countries to provide more to help poorer countries adapt to climate change. As Canadians prepare for this week's federal budget, analysts predict the deficit will be large. But so too might be the spending cuts. Karina Roman has more from Ottawa. The Business Council of Canada's Theo Arjita says there are high expectations for Tuesday's budget.

We don't have a shortage of ideas. We have a shortage of political courage in this country. That means trade-offs and making tough choices over priorities. The Council of Canadian Innovators hopes the federal government focuses on building up Canadian companies rather than chasing foreign investment. President Benjamin Bergen. My heart would sink if we saw billions of dollars that are going towards programs and initiatives that don't advance our economic strength. The government has already announced billions of dollars in measures that will be in the budget, a good chunk going to defense spending, big infrastructure projects and housing,

as well as funds to support workers impacted by the trade war. But with the deficit expected to be in the $70 to $100 billion range and cuts of up to 15% in some departments, the minority liberal government might struggle to find a political partner to help pass the budget.
