The World This Hour for 2025/11/02 at 14:00 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.

The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury says the U.S. government has not put an additional 10% tariff on Canadian goods and services. President Donald Trump said he would as punishment for an Ontario ad campaign. The ad used clips of former President Ronald Reagan arguing against the use of trade barriers. Today, Secretary Scott Besant was asked if he was asked if,

Prime Minister Carney's apology meant they would be lifted. He hasn't put on a 10% tariff. He threatened to put on a 10%. So he didn't actually do it? It hasn't been put on yet. This is unacceptable. The Premier of Ontario spent $75 million sending propaganda via our airwaves. It's the equivalent of election interference. The Trump administration claims former President Reagan was a fan of tariffs when in fact he was a supporter of free trade. Israel's Prime Minister says the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon are trying to rearm. And Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel would, quote,

act as necessary. His statement came after an Israeli air strike on Lebanon that killed four people. Crystal Gumansing has the story. Israel defense forces say on Saturday a strike killed four members of an elite unit in Hezbollah. Israeli officials claim these members were working to rearm Hezbollah. Hezbollah's Iranian proxy group that until last November had been exchanging fire with Israel, Hezbollah saying that was in support of Palestinians in Gaza. We have seen intermittent strikes continuously in the past year. We did hear from Israel's defense minister, Israel Katz. He posted on X earlier in the day accusing the Lebanese president of not working fast enough to disarm Hezbollah and secure the southern border. Israel says that it will do whatever it needs to to protect towns and villages

in the northern area of its border, and that could include not only continuing these sort of strikes, but intensifying them. Aid groups, that was Crystal Goodman Singh. Aid groups say only a few thousand people escaped a Sudanese city captured by the paramilitary group RSF. They described the mass killing of civilians, sexual assaults, beatings, and other war crimes. crimes. Dominic Volaitis has more. Footage posted online shows Sudan's paramilitary RSF forces standing near dozens of bodies in a ditch near the town of Al-Fashir. Tens of thousands have reportedly fled the city since the group captured it last month following an 18-month siege. UN spokesperson, Safe Magango, believes its

fighters may have committed numerous war crimes. We have received horrendous accounts of summary executions, mass killings, rapes, attacks against humanitarian workers, looting, abductions and forced displacement. The situation is simply horrifying. Last week, the UN Security Council condemned the RSF's assault on the city, while US senators, both Republican and Democrat, are calling on the Trump administration to act, as rights groups like Human Rights Watch accused the predominantly Arab RSF of ethnic cleansing going off to people of African descent. Dominic Velitis for CBC News, Bristol, England. British police are questioning a 32-year-old British man

in connection with a mass stabbing on a London-bound train last night. 11 victims were hospitalized, including one who remains in life-threatening condition. Passenger Ollie Foster describes what he saw on the train. 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. A second man also detained by police has since been released. Police say he was not involved in the attack. They also say they do not believe it was a terrorist attack. And that is the world this hour. Remember, you can listen to our podcast anytime. We update every hour, 7 days. a week.
