The World This Hour for 2025/11/10 at 04:00 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 overdelivers. 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 Neil Hurland. We begin with a major breakthrough in Washington. There's now a path to reopen the U.S. government after a 40-day shutdown. Last night, the U.S. Senate approved a new funding bill. It still has to pass the U.S. House of Representatives where Republicans have a majority. The CBC's Katie Simpson has more from Washington. The yeas are 60 and the nays are 40. A procedural vote on the Senate floor kicked off the major breakthrough so many Americans had been hoping for.

A bipartisan agreement was reached, a series of compromises to reopen and continue funding the U.S. government. As President, again, I am optimistic that after almost six weeks of this shutdown, we will finally be able to end it. Senate Majority Leader John Thune acknowledging it could take a few days for the process to be finalized, eventually bringing to an end the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Strain on the American public was clear. Federal workers were not being paid. Food assistance programs were in limbo. And thousands of flights were canceled or delayed because of staffing shortages and safety concerns.

The deal does not include an extension of health care subsidies that expire at the end of the year. The same subsidies Democrats had demanded be extended in exchange for the votes needed to fund the government. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. The top boss at the BBC and the head of its news department are both resigning. After the British network aired a documentary that edited clips of U.S. President Donald Trump in a misleading way, BBC boss Tim Davy, released a statement that admits mistakes were made. But newshead, Deborah Turnus, insists that allegations of institutional bias are wrong. It's been three months since fire ravaged Newfoundland's conception-based,

North. Around 200 homes were lost, now work is underway to rebuild. Arianna Kelland reports. There are signs of newness in Western Bay, Newfoundland, amid the charred remains of what once stood. Gary and Norma Slade are rebuilding a home from scratch. This is my home. This is my life. This is it. I just can't keep up on it. The Slates weren't always certain they would rebuild. A lot has been lost since that August fire that burned out of control for nearly. a month. Entire communities were destroyed. We never expected to see the fire grow into what it

did, probably one of the most devastating events in the province's history. Roger Gillingham led a team of volunteer firefighters into what they called the beast. They worked for weeks, watching as their neighbors' homes and sometimes their own went up in flames. There was no stop on it. Now months later, committees have been formed and plans are underway to get parts of Conception Bay North back to its former glory. Arianna Kelland, CBC News, St. John's. Tomorrow is Remembrance Day, and for the first time, the faces of Japanese-Canadian veterans who served in the First and Second World War are on display in the streets of Vancouver. They fought for Canada without even having the right to vote. Now a community historian is pushing for their untold stories to be known. Ashley Burke has more.

These were young men who gave their whole lives and no one remembers them. Debbie Jang spent more than a decade digging through wartime records and tracking down descendants of heroes she says never got the recognition they deserved. I feel like I'm bringing back to life that person and their names would otherwise never be known. She says almost 200 Japanese Canadians fought in the First World War for Canada. But despite their service during the Second World War, veterans like private Atoji Kamachi, were among the 22,000 Japanese Canadians, the government forced out of their homes, placed in internment camps, and sold off their belongings. Canada deemed them a threat after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

Now Kamachi's image is on a large banner on the street in Vancouver with 20 other Japanese Canadian veterans. Their faces sending a powerful message, their stories still need to be told. Ashley Burke, CBC News, Ottawa. And that is your world this hour. I'm Neil Hurland.
