Jennifer Lawrence doesn't take her work home. You hear of method actors who want to be called by their character's names off set or, you know, who can't shake off tough emotions after shooting a hard scene. Jennifer Lawrence says only one movie nearly destroyed her. On cue with me, Tom Power. Jennifer will tell you what movie that was, the scene she was terrified to do, and the Beyonce song she listened to that protected her. Listen to Q with Tom Power wherever you get your podcasts.

From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Pep Philpott. U.S. senators have voted to end the longest government shutdown in Washington's history, and full of Democrats broke rank and sided with the Republicans to end the 41-day stalemate. The bill extends funding for the federal government until January 30th, but it fails to meet a key Democrat demand. Lily Lowry has more from Washington. There's really no winner in all of this.

Democrats didn't get the health care subsidies they wanted, though Republicans agreed to hold a vote on them at some point next month. There's no guarantee that will pass. And Republicans suffered stinging defeats in recent elections, President Donald Trump blaming the shutdown for those losses in New Jersey and Virginia. And after 41 days, the Democrats fractured, with eight deciding Republicans weren't going to budge and that it was time to reopen the government.

A move that left many in the party, frustrated. Republicans, meanwhile, agreed to some of the Democratic demands, including promising to reverse federal layoffs majoring the shutdown and funding the federal SNAP program, also known as food stamps, through the fiscal year. This bill is expected to go before the House as early as Wednesday afternoon before heading to the desk of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. The outgoing head of the BBC is defending the broadcaster's journalists. Tim Davy quit his post over the weekend after a news program misled the public. Panorama spliced together parts of a speech by Donald Trump. It made it appear the US president explicitly encouraged the Capitol Hill riot. Davy admits the BBC made mistakes but defends the integrity of the corporation. I'm very, very proud of our journalists in this building. They're doing work, I think that's incredibly important.

I want to thank every one of them. They're doing a wonderful job. Trump is threatening a billion-dollar lawsuit unless the BBC makes a retraction. The broadcaster says it will respond in due course. Thailand is suspending the implementation of the ceasefire with neighbouring Cambodia. The announcement comes after four Thai soldiers were injured yesterday

by a landmine near the Cambodian border. The agreement over the disputed border was forged just two weeks ago, and U.S. President Donald Trump was there presiding over the signing. In July, border clashes killed close to 40 people and displaced 300,000 others. And his prime minister says those who carried out Monday's deadly blast in Delhi will not be spared. All those responsible will be brought to justice. In his first public remarks, since the explosion, Nehrenra Modi is describing the incident as a conspiracy.

Officials have not confirmed who or what caused the explosion, but they are investigating it under an anti-terrorism law. At least eight people were killed and 20 others injured when a car blew up near the landmark Red Fort. Today is Remembrance Day. While the Second World War ended 80 years ago, the trauma is still real for those who fought. The CBC's Ashley Burke spoke with a veteran who is using his paintbrush to deal with the past.

When Roland La La Lawn paints, he's able to turn the whore he's seen into beauty. At 102, he's the last surviving Second World War veteran from his regiment and spends hours a day painting works of art from landscapes to wartime memories. When I paint, I don't think of nothing else but painting. And when I use my brush, I'm the boss. Northern Italy and in box, we're friends. He served with the Royal 22nd Regiment fighting the Germans in Italy in 1944.

His regiment went on to help liberate the Netherlands before the end of the war. He says there's only one way to describe what Canadian soldiers went through for their country. Hell is hell. Don't know if you're going to live that day. He's painted hundreds of canvases and is now working on number 331.

Ashley Burke, CBC News, Ottawa. That's your world this hour.
