The World This Hour for 2025/11/02 at 08:00 EST

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.

Donate at lovescarbro.cairbo. borough.ca. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Claude Fagg. To game seven of the World Series in Toronto. And the pitch. And a broken about. Ground or to short.

And the Dodgers turn it and won it. The dreams of a first world series since 1993 will have to wait for another year for the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans. The Los Angeles Dodgers coming. back to beat the Jays, 5, 4, and 11 innings last night, thanks to three late-inning homers. Reporter Steve Futterman was at the game. It was a remarkable game seven. I mean, I thought the Jays were about to win.

I was watching the game. I was actually right on the edge of the press box when Rojas hits this ball, and he is not known as a home run hitter. You don't think of him as, while I'm still glad that he's at the plate, you were waiting for the on-deck hitter, which was Shohei Otani. And then suddenly Rojas ties the game. I mean, talk about the air being let out of the balloon, the old cliché, the dome went suddenly silent and really in shock. I mean, the Jays, their fans, they all thought it was over.

The last time there was a repeat champion, 25 years ago, the New York Yankees with, you know, Derek Jeter, Joe Torrey, those teams, you don't have repeat champions anymore. Now, obviously, the Dodgers are a bit of a controversial team. They pay what they need to pay to contend, and this time they won. There are two teams in L.A., the Angels, the Dodgers. Angel fans aren't necessarily Dodger fans, but the Dodgers are the dominant team. They have the most fans. L.A.'s pretty happy. Steve Futterman, CBC News, Toronto.

Passengers on board a British train are describing scenes of terror during last night's stabbing attack. Ollie Foster is one of them. So I'm looking to my right, and I just see 20 people in about around 20 people in pure panic. There's three people severely bleeding. And one guy is holding his stomach and there's blood coming down his stomach, down his leg. and he's just going to help, help of being stabbed. Ten people remain in hospital.

Two of them are in life-threatening condition. The London-bound train was traveling from Eastern England at the time of the attack. Two people have been arrested. Both are British nationals. At this point, authorities are not speculating on a cause of the incident, only saying that they don't believe it was a terrorist attack. At least 23 people have been killed by a fire at a discount store in Mexico. 11 others were injured.

It happened in the northwestern city of, Hermosillo. The state attorney general says most of those killed died from inhaling toxic gases. There are unconfirmed reports the fire was started by an explosion. Local officials there ruled out the possibility. It was

a deliberate attack. Communities across Jamaica remain isolated this morning following Hurricane Melissa. Rescuers and aid workers have been giving out food and water. Some of that relief coming from the Canadian Red Cross. The storm's impact across the Caribbean region has been devastating.

And now there's a renewed call for Richard countries to do more to help deal with climate-related disasters. Host of CBC Radio's What's on Earth, Laura Lynch, tells us more. Michael Taylor survived the hurricane, but the climate scientist who lives in Kingston, Jamaica, laments the global warming that made Melissa so damaging. He can't help but reflect on the human cost of it all. Melissa is meant to set us back completely. I don't know for how long. In fact, Jamaica was better prepared than other vulnerable countries.

It had short up its finances and tried to build in some resilience. Other nations are offering assistance after the fact. Raquel Moses of the group Caribbean Climate Smart Accelerator says much more funding is needed to pay for the kinds of things Jamaica needs to do ahead of the next storm. She says that's the responsibility of others, particularly because Jamaica has neither contributed to nor benefited from the foster fuel industry. Jamaica isn't wealthy because of the carbon in the atmosphere, but they are having

to raise coastal roads. Days ago, a UN report said rich nations have in fact cut their contributions to the adaptation fund. Laura Lynch, CBC News, Vancouver. And you can hear more about this on what on earth coming up this morning at 11 o'clock, 1130 in Newfoundland. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fag. Thank you.
