the dream season for the toronto blue jays is done trying to win their first world series since 1993, they'll have to wait for another season. As the Los Angeles Dodgers came back to beat the Jays, 5, 4, and 11 innings, thanks to three late inning home runs. The CBC's Steve Futterman reports. 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, well, 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 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.

Ten people remain in hospital, two of whom 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 that it was a terrorist

attack. Donald Trump is threatening Nigeria with military action over what he calls anti-Christian persecution. The U.S. President says he's asking the Pentagon to prepare for a possible mission in Nigeria if it doesn't do more to protect them. Now, posting on his social media, Trump says he's ready to intervene with, quote, guns ablazing. At least 23 people have been killed by a fire at a discount store in Mexico. 11 others are injured. It happened in the northwestern city of Hermosillo. The state attorney general says most of those killed died from inhaling toxic gases.

Hector Colin McDonald fought to liberate the country in the Second World War, 80 years after his death from a landmine. Megan Williams reports. North Nova Scotia Islander. Michele Fakini holds up a weathered canvas duffel bag and reads the faded words tend on it more than eight decades ago by Hector Colin McDonald.

Fakini discovered the bag this summer likely left by Hector in early December just days before he was killed by land wine crossing the Lomone River as Canadian troops pushed north through mud and freezing cold. Fellow researcher Raphaelé Cortez de Bozis set out to find his

Pike's daughter, Stacey Jordan, McDonald's great-great-niece, traveled here to Italy to accept the bag in a ceremony in his honor.
