The World This Hour for 2025/11/07 at 03:00 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.

Alberta MP Matt Jenneru has announced he's stepping down. It comes the same week a Nova Scotia conservative MP crossed the floor to join the governing liberals. Tom Perry reports. I just wish them all the best.

From conservative MPs like John Brassard warm wishes for a colleague who's calling it quits. MP, Matt Jenneru, says he's stepping down to focus on his family, though his name had been mentioned as someone who might be interested in crossing the floor after Nova Scotia MP Chris Dantramont this week jumped from the Conservatives to the Liberals. Conservative MP Pat Kelly insists the talk around Jenneru was just that. Talk. It's disappointing to hear some of the silly rumors. But to Liberal MP Mark Gerritsen, one conservative jumping ship, and another one leaving should send a message. The Conservative Party of Canada

no longer has room for progressive views. Conservative leader Pierre Pollyev posted a message on social media thanking Jenneru for his service, adding he expected him to stay on as an MP until spring. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. There's air traffic trouble on both sides of the border. A shortage of controllers delayed flights at Toronto Pearson International Airport Thursday

the second day in a row. The problem's even worse. of the U.S. Several airlines have cut back flights because the government's shutdown there has also led to a shortage of air traffic controllers.

The ceasefire was to result in a surge of supplies flooding the strip with 600 trucks per day, but groups say fewer than expected are entering. Despite ongoing calls to open all crossing points, Israel is only inspecting and allowing trucks to use two entries.

Crystal Gimancing reports from Jerusalem. Palestinians call out to grab the attention of soup kitchen workers in Han Yunus while holding out their empty pots. The hope was that the ceasefire would have put a stop to scenes like this. The situation there remains absolutely horrific. Roland Friedrich is with UNRWA. Israel banned the agency from operating within its territory and the areas under its control. Abir Atifa is the senior spokesperson for the World Food Program. WFP needs all crossings to be open. 600 trucks were to be allowed in daily as a part of the peace deal. Etifa says currently only a third or a quarter of the expected supplies are

entering Gaza. Kogat, the Israeli aid coordination group, says hundreds of trucks are entering Gaza daily but did not provide CBC with specific numbers. Crystal Gamanssing, CBC News, Jerusalem. A new study has found microplastics in the tailmead of lobsters cut off Nova Scotia, but a researcher at Memorial University says it's too early to draw any conclusions about the potential impact on human health. Carl Jopst studies the effects of microplastics on humans. I think it's important to study the matter, but I'm not sure I'd be ready to conclude

that consuming lobster would represent a significant source of exposure. Jopts says his team's work on mice has found that elevated exposure to microplastics can cause adverse effects during mouse pregnancy. Elon Musk's bid to become a trillionaire got a boost Thursday. The board of his car company, Tesla, approved a plan to give him that much worth in stock. But they're not just handing it over. He has to hit specific performance targets over the next decade and multiply the value of the company. The would-be trillion-dollar man didn't waste any time talking up new vehicles.

We've got the first car that is specifically built for unsupervised for self-driving, to be a robo-taxies, it's called a cyber cab. It doesn't even have pedals or a steering wheel. It could be a rough road to that payday. Tesla's been struggling with shrinking sales and market share. That is to the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles. Thank you.
