The World This Hour for 2025/11/08 at 07:00 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. from cbc news the world this hour i'm claude fagg today is indigenous veterans day first officially recognized in manitoba back in 1994 but just this week the province passed legislation enshrining it into law as karen paul's reports some veterans see it as a sign of reconciliation Indigenous Veterans Day started after an incident on Remembrance Day in 1991. A group of Mohawk veterans were told they couldn't place a wreath during official ceremonies in Ottawa. It was another four years before indigenous veterans were allowed to participate. That's a big part of the day for me as to honoring that unique history.

Justin Woodcock served in the Army and Navy for eight years. He's now the Veterans Program Coordinator for the Southern Chiefs Organization in Manitoba. A lot of First Nation veterans signed up at a higher rate to fight for the idea of democracy overseas and freedom without being able to enjoy those same privileges when they returned home to Canada. Last month, the Canadian Armed Forces apologized for racial discrimination and harassment

faced by past and current members. We failed you. Woodcock says that, and Banatobah's move to enshrine Indigenous Veterans Day in Law is a big step forward. Karen Paul's, CBC News, Winnipeg. Ukraine. Officials say a Russian drone strike killed at least one person in an apartment building in Denepro. At least 11 others were reportedly injured, six of them taken the hospital. The blast started

as a blaze destroyed several apartments. More casualties are expected. Peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan have collapsed. The two sides have been meeting with mediators in Turkey as relations have deteriorated sharply in recent years. Border clashes last month saw the worst violence since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan four years ago. Dominic Volaitis has more. Afghanistan is blaming Pakistan for the breakdown of peace talks. This morning, a spokesperson for the Taliban said negotiations had failed due to Islamabad, insisting Afghanistan stop the militant groups inside its territory from launching attacks against Pakistan. Fighting between the two South Asian neighbours broke out last month after Pakistan

launched air strikes in Afghanistan targeting militants who'd ambushed and killed Pakistani soldiers. Dozens were killed in the ensuing violence, the worst since the Taliban took power in 2021. Both sides are making sincere efforts to find a positive resolution to this complex. Despite today's breakdown in peace talks, both sides say they remain committed to the ceasefire they signed in Doha last month. But it is fragile. Dominic Velis for CBC News, Bristol, England. As the U.S. government shutdown continues, U.S. senators last night rejected a bill to pay workers, some of whom have been going without a paycheck for over a month.

On this vote, the yeas are 53, three-fifths of the Senate duly chosen in. war not having voted in the affirmative, the motion upon reconsideration is not agreed to. The defeat of the motion means another day of unpaid work for thousands of workers, including air traffic controllers. Close to 1,000 flights were canceled yesterday. More will happen today as the FAA seeks to ease the pressure on fatigue controllers. UPS and FedEx are grounding their fleets of MH-11 cargo planes after this week's deadly crash in Louisville, Kentucky. A UPS MH-11 went down in flames Tuesday, less than a minute after takeoff. At least 14 people are reported killed.

The CFL Division Finals will be contested today. In the East Final, the Hamilton Tiger Casts will host their first final since 2019 when they faced the Montreal Alouettes. The West Final has the Saskatchewan Rough Riders, who had the best record in the league this season, home to the BC Lions. The two winners will advance to next week's 112th Grey Cup in Winnipeg. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fagg.
