The World This Hour for 2025/11/23 at 00:00 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 leaked peace plan to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine is drawing focus at the G20 summit this weekend in South Africa. The proposed U.S. deal appears to be highly favorable to Russia. As Karina Roman reports, it left world leaders, including Canada, scrambling, to respond. So these leaders adopted a joint statement today that said the following, that the plan does have some necessary elements but requires additional work. And it reiterates the statement does that the principle must be kept that borders must not be changed by force. The leaders are also concerned by the proposed

limitations on Ukraine's armed forces, which they think would leave the country vulnerable to future attack. Experts say the risk for Ukraine if it says no to the deal is real. Bocer Q is a senior fellow with the Eurasia Center and is a Canadian based in Ukraine. If any Ukrainian leader were to sign up for even a part of this so-called plan, it would be the end of Ukraine as we know it, a game over for a sovereign Ukraine. Perhaps a glimmer of hope, however, because Trump was asked today if this deal is a final offer, and he said no, but Trump is so unpredictable that it's not clear what that means. The CBC's Karina Roman reporting from Johannesburg.

Also from Johannesburg, Prime Minister Mark Carney is congratulating COP 30 participants. They came out Saturday with a compromise deal after days of tense discussions. It's promising more money for poorer countries bearing the brunt of climate change, but doesn't mention the fossil fuels driving it. Carney said he supported the effort at COP before outlining Kenneth's philosophy on environmental action. We view addressing climate change as a moral duty. but also a commercial imperative, as Prime Minister Albanese just intimated. So our strategy on reducing emissions is a climate competitiveness strategy

because it will make our businesses stronger. The new COP 30 deal is being criticized by some participating countries as well as environmental groups for its failure to nail down a roadmap to phasing out the use of fossil fuels. In Gaza, Ambulances rushed to the scene of Israel's latest airstrikes, Local health officials say at least 22 people were killed, 80 more wounded. The Israeli military says it struck after a gunman crossed into the Israeli-occupied part of Gaza. Something Hamas denies.

Both have repeatedly accused each other of violating the six-week-old ceasefire. BC conservation officers say they're now looking for not one but three grizzly bears spotted in the area of Thursday's vicious attack. A group of elementary school students and their teachers were caught off guard by the animal, which sent four people to hospital. Yes, mean, Renee, has more. Belakula residents are still being told to stay indoors as conservation officers search for three grizzly bears who were seen in the area during an attack

on about 20 elementary students and teachers. An RCMP aircraft with thermal imaging is helping with search efforts. There's probably 40 to 50 incidents where houses have been broken into, sheds, shops, and smoke houses. Newhawk Nation hereditary chief Noel Putlis says his community has seen an uptick in human bear interactions in recent years after a new bear population moved in, driven out of their old territory by logging, forest fires, and drought. They've been doing this seven years now.

That's a huge problem, risk for our people. Officials say they have not decided whether the bears will be killed once. they're found. Yasmiranea, CBC News, Belakula, British Columbia. In Kiev? Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the First Lady lay bundles of wheat in honor of the victims of the Holodomor. The Soviet-era famine is estimated to have killed millions of Ukrainians in the winter of 1932 to 33. Over 30 countries recognize the Holodomor as a genocide, including Canada. That is the world this hour.
