The World This Hour for 2025/11/21 at 23:00 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 over-delivers. 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.

A British Columbia First Nation is reeling after a grizzly bear attacked a group of school children and their teachers. Four people are in hospital, seven others suffered minor injuries. Sam Samson with the latest.

Our heroes, that's what they are. Samuel Alexander Schooner has nothing but praise for the teachers who fought off a grizzly bear when it attacked a school group. He's the elected chief councillor of the New Hawk Nation where the attack happened. These children are going to be around for many, many, many years because of the actions that they've done. The group of about 20 students and teachers were on a short afternoon field trip. They stopped for lunch on a trail near the river when a bear emerged from the forest and attacked them. The nation says the bear was unprovoked.

Kirsten Milton is part of the nation's elected council. You know, we live in harmony with the bears here. Our staff, our students, we're all very well aware of how to walk. in our bear territory. This was just an unprecedented event that we have never experienced. Community says it's brought in extra clinical and traditional counseling services while the search for the bear continues. Sam Sampson, CBC News, Edmonton. After more than two years of negotiations, the Canadian Union of Postal worker says it has reached agreement in principle with Canada Post, meaning both sides have agreed to the main points of a deal,

but still need to work out exact language before it can be put to membership for a vote. The union says it's stopping rotating strikes that have been going on for more than a month. Firebranded Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green says she's resigning. She was one of Donald Trump's most loyal supporters, but she has opposed him on several issues. Most notably, the Jeffrey Epstein files. Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the president of the union. United States, whom I fought for. Last week, Trump branded her Marjorie Trader Green,

after her criticism of his attention to international matters like Gaza and Ukraine, rather than the America First agenda he'd campaigned on. Other issues include rising inflation and health care subsidies. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky says he'll move quickly to offer alternatives to a new U.S. plan to end the war with Russia. The leaked 28-point proposal includes concessions backed by the U.S. and favoring the Kremlin. Among them, Ukraine seating large areas of its eastern region to Russia and downsizing its military. Zelensky says his country's dignities on the line. Russian President Vladimir Putin put out his own statement saying the U.S. proposal could be the basis for what he called a peaceful solution to the war. The United Nations

says more food is getting into Gaza, but still not enough to satisfy the massive need. Since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect a month ago, the World Food Program has brought in 40,000 tons of food. But WFP spokesperson Martin Penner says hundreds of thousands of people urgently need help. Markets are coming back to life. Food is there, but prices are still out of reach for most people. So many people still rely on food aid, food parcels, bread from bakeries, hot meals, kitchens. The WFP says Gaza was hit by heavy rains this week, spoiling and washing away food residents have been saving. A new study by Health Canada, Oxford, and the University of Bristol finds nearly 100 of the over 600 deaths in BC's

2021 heat dome were directly linked to human-caused climate change. Environmental lawyer Andrew Gage says that puts responsibility on governments to act fast against future calamities. The fact that BC is actually the number one owner of oil, gas, and coal reserves, and yet just continues to make those available to fossil fuel companies, knowing that those will be burnt and make our climate crisis worse and has no plans to deal with that, that's a major gap. Environment Canada says heat waves are likely to get even more frequent across the country. That is the world this hour. For news anytime, visit our website, cbcnews.ca.
