The move authorized law enforcement to demand a breath sample at the roadside from any driver. Now the Supreme Court of Canada has upheld those criminal code amendments. It dismissed appeals from two men in New Brunswick convicted of drunk driving. They challenged who can administer breathalisers and the quality of evidence. In response, the top court released two decisions Friday morning. In separate 8 to 1 rulings, the High Court upheld the convictions against both men and ruled any changes to impair driving cases would go against Parliament's goal of making drunk driving cases simple and efficient.

Jason Jakes says the government is using overly expansion. definitions when it comes to capital spending, and is predicting the spending plans will leave the government with an ongoing operating deficit. A report released today at the COP 30 Climate Summit in Brazil says climate change is responsible for ramping up both the size and the strength of the typhoons that devastated the Philippines

and Vietnam this month. Susan Ormiston has the details.

If we keep expanding oil and gas like this, we have no hope at meeting our emissions start-outs. COP 30 rolls into intense negotiations next week, trying to strengthen a promise made two years ago in Dubai to transition away from oil and gas. Susan Ormiston, CBC News, Belen.

The body of another hostage, has been released by Hamas and formerly identified by Israeli authorities, which means, as of today, the remains of three hostages are still in Gaza. Tom Perry reports. In a statement last night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed his country's efforts to bring the hostages home would not cease until the last body was returned. The return of the hostages was a key element in the U.S. brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, but an end to the violence in Gaza is just phase one. The U.S. is urging the United Nations to back President Donald Trump's wider 20-point peace plan. It requires Hamas to disarm an international stabilization force to provide security in Gaza

and the formation of a so-called Board of Peace chaired by Trump to oversee a transitional government for the territory. That plan is reportedly facing pushback at the U.N. from China, Russia, and some Arab countries. Tom Perry, CBC News, Jerusalem. Russia unleashed another missile and drone bombardment on Kyiv overnight. Four deaths are being reported with dozens injured across multiple districts. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy says more than 400 drones and 18 missiles were used in the assault. And he's accusing the Kremlin of calculating the attack to cause as much harm as possible to civilians. And that is the world this hour.
