The World This Hour for 2025/11/10 at 12:00 EST

Oh, hi there. It's me, Gavin Crawford, host of Because News, the show where I gather three panelists and quiz them about the news in front of a live studio audience. This week, we host comedians Miguel Rivas, Emma Hunter, as well as comic book and book book author, Ryan North. I'll find out who really read Mark Carney's new budget and who fell asleep before the ending. Also, we'll try to figure out why traffic lights are getting an extra signal. Join me and my pals as we move on from the Blue Jays and finally talk about anything else. Subscribe to the show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere that shares podcast for free. From CBC News, it's The World This Hour. I'm Joe Cummings.

The Pan American Health Organization has stripped Canada of its measles-free designation. It comes as the country has now surpassed a full year of community transmission that started in New Brunswick and has gone on to infect now more than 5,000 people. Jennifer Yoon has a detail. For about 30 years, Canada has been able to stop measles from running rampant in our communities. In the past year, the defenses have been breached. Thousands of cases across the country. That's why Canada is losing its official measles elimination status.

This bruises our reputation. Measles is burning through under-vaccinated pockets of the country. Infectious diseases specialist Dr. Isaac Bowen, Oh gosh, says there's a myriad of reasons why, like mistrust in the vaccine and disinformation online. And this is a sign that Canada needs to double down on efforts to reduce barriers to vaccination and get accurate information out about vaccines to the public. It's a giant wake-up call that we have gaps in our public health infrastructure and that we need to fill those gaps and we need to do so urgently.

Canada will have to submit a corrective plan to the Pan American Health Organization on how it aims to regain its measles' elimination status. Jennifer Yun, CBC News, Toronto. This year's UN Climate Summit, COP 30, is underway in Brazil. And with scientists saying the Earth is warming faster than our efforts to reduce fossil fuel pollution, the agenda for the summit is direct and to the point. Susan Armistin reports. In summary, heat, money and motivation.

I mean, 10 years after Paris, the world has missed its goal to keep global warming. warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. So how will countries dial up commitments to turn down the heat? Also, money last year, countries agreed to pay $300 billion a year to countries at the worst end of climate damages, but only a fraction of that has come in. And motivation, you know, without the U.S., it's not here as an official delegation. And with the president of the U.S. calling climate change a hoax, how are countries going to work together to solve the big challenges, including making good

a promise two years ago to transition away from oil and gas when oil production here in Brazil and in Canada has reached record highs. Susan Ormiston, CBC News, Belen, Brazil. U.S. President Donald Trump has granted a pardon to Rudy Giuliani. A Justice Department official says the former mayor of New York is among a number of Republicans being pardoned amid allegations they attempted to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election. Two senior executives at the BBC have resigned. Resignations follow a leaked internal review that accuses the public broadcaster of distorting a speech delivered by Donald Trump. Chris Brown reports. Just before the last U.S. presidential election, the BBC program Panorama ran this clip of Donald

Trump speaking to supporters before the storming of the Capitol in 2021. We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and I'll be there with you. And we'll feel. Only Trump didn't actually say those words in that way. They were from different parts of the same speech. Last week, the Telegraph newspaper leaked an internal BBC review that concluded the edit distorted what Trump said. In his resignation statement, Director General Tim Davy said he was taking responsibility for the mistakes. In her resignation statement, BBC head of news, Deborah Terness, pushed back against the criticisms, saying, While mistakes were made, the accusation that the broadcaster is institutionally biased is wrong.

Chris Brown, CBC News, London. Just three weeks into a five-year prison sentence, and former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been released. The release comes as Sarkozy prepares an appeal. Earlier this year, he was found guilty of criminal conspiracy for a campaign funding scheme he used to finance his 2007 election campaign. Under the terms of the release, Sarkozy must stay in France and can't speak with anyone connected to the case. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
