The World This Hour for 2025/11/07 at 21:00 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.

For Polyev, it's been a rough week. One of his MPs crossed the floor to join the Liberals, another announced he was stepping down,

though Conservative House leader Andrew Shear insists this is all just the liberals trying to take people's minds off their budget. We're not going to let liberal sources put out rumors to distract from a terrible budget that Canadians are giving a giant thumbs down to.

Israel's military says it has received the remains of another Gaza hostage.

The bodies of 23 captives have now been returned. As part of the deal, Hamas pledged to turn over the remains of 28 hostages in exchange for the remains of 360 militants.

The Supreme Court of Canada is ordering a new trial for a Quebec man accused of sexual assault. The victim said she couldn't remember most of what happened, but the top court ruled she can still provide evidence about consent.

Olivia Stefanovic has more. On the question of giving consent, Canadian law says it must be voluntary and someone must have the mental capacity to do so. Otherwise, the sexual activity might constitute sexual assault. That's the issue at the center of a new top court decision. The Supreme Court of Canada is ordering a new trial for Frederick Rue, a Quebec man accused of sexually assaulting a woman he previously dated. She says she has no clear memory of what happened

and believes she may have been drugged. The majority of the High Court says the trial judge that acquitted Rue focused too much on the woman's lack of memory and ignored other signs that she may have been incapable of consenting. The majority says judges must look at the full picture when deciding whether someone has the capacity to consent, including a person's evidence about their physical and mental state, before, during, and after sexual activity. Olivia Stefanovic, CBC News, Ottawa. Typhoon Kalmagi has killed at least five people in Vietnam. The storm pummeled the country's

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. It is not a science. It is a art that we're trying to deploy to keep people safe in the airspace. And we're trying to prevent the pressure that we now see building in the system. The government shutdown is now into its 38th day, the longest in U.S. history.

Democrats are holding out on voting for a funding bill until they receive concessions on health care from Republicans.
