I'm Kate McGilfrey. COP 30, the UN climate change conference in Brazil, is ending with a hard-won deal. But it's one that many delegates say lacks ambition and urgency. Susan Ormiston has more on what's in the accord and what isn't. We know some of you had greater ambitions. Twelve days of climate talks delivered a weak agreement, leaving some countries in revolt. Panama is deeply disappointed. The COP of the truth cannot support an outcome that ignores science.

Belen struggled with growing calls to tackle transitioning away from fossil fuels. That was agreed to two years ago at the UN conference, but any mention was omitted from this agreement, rejected by large oil-producing countries and developing ones who want to expand their resources. COP30 did agree to triple financial support for vulnerable countries, hard-hit by storms, heat, and drought. It also called for stronger efforts in all countries to bring down emissions.

But a lot of delegates left Brazil, underwhelmed by its outcomes. Susan Ormiston, CBC News, Toronto. Supporters and critics of former President Jaira Bolsonaro clash outside of a Brazilian police station where he's being held. Bolsonaro was taken into police custody today. over an alleged plot to escape from house arrest and try to avoid a 27-year prison term. That's Bolsonaro's sentence for leading an attempted coup in 2022. Federal police say his ankle monitor was violated early this morning.

It was feared that Bolsonaro had plans to flee days before he's set to begin his stint in prison. At least 55 people have been killed as torrential rains, causing flooding and landslides in central Vietnam. Even more people are missing. Vietnam's disaster agency says 1900. millimeters of rain have fallen over the past week alone. The latest Canadian drought monitor report says that while large regions of the country received above normal rainfall on October, several areas remain high and dry. In southern Alberta, farmers like Greg Hawkewood are worried about their animals

and how seeding will go next spring. Well, the surface moisture, there's nothing. Subsoil is very, very, very poor. There's no sluze for watering cattle. Across the country, Newfoundland's Darrell Legg is also worried he owns a poultry farm and says lack of rain in recent months hurt his ability to grow animal feed for his chickens this winter. Because then you've already got to make the decision of do I euthanize the animal because I have no food stocks to feed him or do I take a loss and try, again, key word is try to subsidize, that subsidize, try to secure some hay or some other corn or wheat. Newfoundland has been reckoning with dry weather for months now. And in football, another Montreal versus Saskatchewan matchup

with the caribans facing the Huskies for the Vannier Cup. It comes after the rough riders ran roughshod over the alouettes in last weekend's Grey Cup. But this time, Montreal came out on top, 30 to 16. Ed Climmon breaks it down. Welcome back to Mosaic Stadium in Regina. For just the fourth time in the 60-year history of the Banyet Cup, a rookie quarterback has led his team to victory.

And it's all about Pepe Gonzalez. 20-year-old Pepe Gonzalez threw three touchdown passes as his Montreal Carabin beat the Saskatchewan Huskies 30 to 16 on Saturday. It's the third time the carabin have won the championship. For Saskatchewan, this was a crushing loss. Not only was the game played in their home province, with Regina hosting the event for the first time, but it was the seventh consecutive time the Huskies have lost

when appearing in the title game, extending a drought that dates back to 1990. Montreal and bitter provincial rival Laval have now split the last four championships and things will not get any easier for the Canada West, Ontario, and Atlantic conferences with the Vanier Cup to be hosted by Quebec City in 26 and 27.

Thank you.
