You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story, until now. People assume that I'm like this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed, and in my new podcast, I talked to Alison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member and what she thinks of it all now. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people? I mean, I don't even know how to answer that question. Alison, after nexium from CBC's On Cover, is available now, wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, it's the world this hour.

I'm Pep Philpott. Veterans, politicians, diplomats, and members of the public are gathering around the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The Remembrance Day service there is due to begin in a couple of hours, but there's already been a memorial in the UK for Canadian soldiers. Bookwood Military Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth War Cemetery in the UK. Anna Cunningham reports. Surrounded by tall pine and fir trees in this corner of the UK's largest Commonwealth Graves Cemetery are some 2,700 Canadians. The ceremony in this quiet corner, a time to reflect on those who died in the First and Second World Wars,

and more recent conflicts. Ralph Goodell is High Commissioner to the UK. We live today in a very dangerous world, and the lessons of those previous wars need to be remembered now in order to avoid ultimately repeating all of that again. Reeds laid at the foot of the Canadian Memorial as the wind blows through the thousands of headstones, each marking a Canadian who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Anna Cunningham, CBC News, at Brookwood Military Cemetery, Surrey, England. CBC Radio 1 will have special coverage of today's National Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa. It starts at 10.55 a.m. local time in much of the country, 11.55 a.m. Atlantic, 1225 in Newfoundland. With a Democrats siding with Republicans, the U.S. Senate has voted to end the government shutdown. The bill extends funding for the federal government. government until January 30th, but it ignores the key Democrat demand of extending health care subsidies. Richie Torres is a Democrat in the House. The purpose was to get a substantive result, the extension of the health care tax credits for 24 million Americans. This so-called deal

does not guarantee the extension of the health care tax credits. In fact, it guarantees that Republicans will vote against the extension, which is the exact opposite of what Democrats were fighting for. Some Democrats are angry at those who broke party rank. Thanks to strike the deal with Republicans, they're saying Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has lost control of the caucus. He's now facing calls to resign. The bill now heads to the House,

which could hold its vote as early as tomorrow. Over the next two days, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is hosting her G7 counterparts in Ontario's Niagara region, topping their agenda as the Russia-Ukraine war. But as Rafi Bucci Canyon reports, Canada may find it challenging to insert itself into discussions.

Look at the damage that Russia-Ukraine has done to us as a country. U.S. President Donald Trump once again saying he would end the nearly four-year-old conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Trump's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, will be part of the G7 Foreign Affairs Ministers meeting in Niagara on the lake on Tuesday and Wednesday, where discussing a peaceful resolution to the war is on the agenda. Dane Rowland says that could be a challenge. The Canadian position and the European position has been pretty clear all along. Rollins teaches international affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa. They're there to try to support Ukraine as much as they can,

and they are in favor of an arrangement that Ukraine approves. Whereas the U.S., he says, has been more fickle. Sometimes they seem to favor Russia. Sometimes they seem to be more sympathetic to Ukraine. Other items on the agenda over the next two days, maritime in Arctic security, as well as the tenuous ceasefire in Gaza. Rafi Wujikan, Yon-C-BC News, Arwa. Prosecutors in Turkey are seeking a severe punishment for Istanbul's mayor.
