As it still reels from a typhoon last week, the Philippines is being pummeled again. Typhoon Feng Wong slammed into the main island of Luzon earlier today, with sustained winds of 185 kilometers an hour gusting up to 240. It's already killed at least two, and forced authorities to order the evacuation of almost. a million people. Just a few days ago, a separate typhoon killed more than 200 people in the Philippines. About 13,000 Quebec doctors and their supporters packed an NHL arena

in Montreal today protesting a new provincial law. It imposes changes on how doctors are paid, linking compensation to performance targets. Some doctors are so upset they're considering leaving Quebec. Sarah Levitt reports. It's not your typical gathering at Montreal's Bell Center. It's neither a concert nor a habs game. The gathering brought together thousands of doctors from across the province united against Bill 2. Quebec's new law ties wages to performance targets, things like how many patients are seen in a day and emergency wait times. Sandra Dyckhouse is a family doctor.

What we're concerned about is forcing us to take on more patients than we already have. I'm already working the maximum number of hours that I can devote to my patients. The new law also includes the possibility of imposing fines if doctors use pressure tactics to protest the measures. That law has already led more than 300 doctors to apply for licenses in other provinces. Sarah Levitt's CBC News, Montreal. In Tel Aviv. A convoy of trucks transport the remains of an Israeli soldier

recovered from Gaza to a forensic facility. Israel has identified the body as Hadar Golden. Golden was killed in Gaza in 2014. Over the last few weeks, Israel and Hamas have exchanged remains of those killed during the current war, under a ceasefire deal reached last month. So far, the remains of 23 Israeli hostages have been returned by Hamas, with Israel returning the bodies of about 300 Palestinians. Meanwhile, Gaza's health ministry says the number of Palestinians killed since 23,

is now over 69,000. The BBC's Director General Tim Davy and its head of news have both resigned. This follows accusations that the British broadcaster misleadingly edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump. The speech appeared to show Trump advocating for violence in the run-up to the January 6th riots of 2021.

The BBC had been under mounting pressure after a damning internal report was leaked to a newspaper. Trump is welcoming these resigns. nations calling the two very dishonest people. And the U.S. Senate is holding a weekend sitting dedicated to ending the government shutdown, suggesting a vote may be held this evening with some hints that a deal might be close. Meanwhile, the longest shutdown in the country's history is wrapping up its 40th day. Iris Spitzer in Washington has more on the fallout. The U.S. Department of Agriculture told states in a memo to immediately undo any full

food stamp benefits or face penalties. Multiple states sought to issue those benefits claimed by more than 40 million low-income Americans following a court order on Friday. But the Trump administration asked for and got a pause from the Supreme Court. More than a thousand flights were canceled again Sunday, and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned about the impact on the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. We have a number of people who want to get home for the holidays. They want to see their family, they want to celebrate this great American holiday. Listen, many of them are not going to be able to get on an airplane. Trump administration officials say the flight cancellations are necessary to relieve the pressure on air traffic controllers who aren't getting

paid, but top Democrats have called them a political stunt. Iris Betzer for CBC News, Washington. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Kate McGilfrey. Thank you.
