Hugh is a rock climber, a white supremacist, a Jewish neo-Nazi, a spam king, a crypto-billionaire, and then someone killed him. It is truly a mystery. It is truly a case of who done it.

Israel's foreign minister says at least six people have been killed in a shooting attack in Jerusalem. Ambulances rushed to the scene in the north of the city. Several other people have been injured, and some of them are reportedly in serious condition. The CBC, Sasha Petrissik, is in Jerusalem. Sasha, what more do we know? This happened at a big traffic intersection, a transportation hub at the north end of Jerusalem at the end of morning rush hour. So a lot of people there waiting for buses to go into the West Bank, into Jerusalem, and into Tel Aviv.

Two men dressed in black arrived in a car and boarded a bus that had just arrived. That bus was packed, according to eyewitnesses, and they started shooting. This, of course, set off a panic. A lot of people were injured. At some point, police arrived, security forces arrived, and the two men were neutralized, as they say here, meaning they were shot and killed. Police have sealed off a number of villages in the West Bank, which is not far from that spot, and have started searching those areas as well as searching the scene of the crime. What other reaction are you seeing? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the seat of the attack fairly quickly. He made a statement saying that we are at war against terror on several fronts. He said we will destroy Hamas and free our hostages.

Unfortunately, he said we were not able to prevent this morning's attack. There was a statement from Hamas this morning as well. They do not take responsibility for the attack. but they did praise the two attackers as heroic. They said this was a natural response to Israel's actions in Gaza and especially in the West Bank. Thank you, Sasha. My pleasure.

The CBC, Sasha Petrissik in Jerusalem. Police in Nepal say at least 17 people have been killed in protests outside the country's parliament. Tens of thousands of people are in Kathmandu, criticizing the government's decision to block most social media. Police fired tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannons, but the large crowd pushed through barbed wire and forced riot officers to retreat within the parliament buildings. The situation is still tense. Nepal's government says it is imposing a curfew. Nepal has blocked about two dozen social networks, including Facebook, X, and YouTube. Protesters call it censorship, but the government says those companies ignored orders to officially read. register in the country. Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, including here in Canada.

It is the body's extreme immune response to an infection. It can be difficult to detect. Doctors say early treatment is crucial, but as CBC Sarah McMillan reports, new research shows gaps in policies and training standards. Their inaction caused us, our whole family, everything. Garinder Sidu's life was turned upside down when his wife died in June from septic shock days after giving birth at a Mississauga, Ontario hospital. Sidu believes his wife's death could have been prevented if hospital staff had recognized early signs of sepsis. Now I learned that nothing was normal about those symptoms.

The hospital hasn't commented on this case citing patient privacy but says it has a thorough review process. Since his wife's death, SIDU has been advocating for new sepsis policies in hospitals across Ontario. The province doesn't have specific sepsis guidelines and new research highlights that it's not alone. We found that there were pretty serious gaps. Dr. Callie Barrett is one of the researchers who looked at policies and training across the country. The research is under review and is forthcoming in the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia. Some provinces like BC and Saskatchewan do have sepsis policies, but most do not. not. The research also highlights gaps in training. McMaster University PhD candidate Fatima

Shake is one of the other research authors. She points to other countries like the UK and Australia that have created national action plans. Some of the outcomes that are starting to get reported are increased or better detection of sepsis, reduced healthcare costs and also reduced substance-related mortality. She says Canada needs a plan too. A spokesperson for the Public Health Agency of Canada said they weren't able to provide comment by our deadline. Sarah McMillan, CBC News, Toronto. A judge in Australia has sentenced a triple murderer to life in prison. Erin Patterson was convicted in July of killing three relatives in 2023. She was also convicted of attempting to murder a fourth person. She served them a meal of Beef Wellington, laced with

poisonous mushrooms. Justice Christopher Beale says her crimes were an enormous betrayal of trust. The devastating impact of your crimes is not limited to your direct victims. You inflicted untold suffering on your own children whom you robbed of their beloved grandparents. Your failure to exhibit any remorse pours salt into all the victim's wounds. The gravity of your offending warrants the imposition at the maximum penalties for your crimes. Patterson will not be eligible for parole for 33 years. WestJet says it is fully cooperating with local

authorities in St. Martin. One of its planes landed hard on the Caribbean Islands runway yesterday afternoon. A wing was damaged. Passengers were evacuated from the plane on the runway. The CBC's Sarah Reid has more details.

Sounds on board the WestJet flight after one of the plane's landing gear collapsed at Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Martin. The hard landing saw the right wing of the plane hit the runway, leading emergency crews to immediately evacuate all 164 passengers, none of who were injured. Then they're going to get the cockpit voice recorder tape. It could be pile of error, and it could be totally mechanical error. But at any rate, it wasn't supposed to happen the way it did. Keith Mackie is an aviation safety consultant and says it's hard to say what caused the incident.

Well, we don't know whether it was a hard landing or it could have been a mechanical issue. the gear, but at any rate, the right landing year collapsed and dropped the wingtip to the ground. So consequently, they had to use the emergency slides to evacuate the airplane. But Mackey adds landing at that airport is challenging even at the best of times. The runway is 7,500 feet long, and it's surrounded by hills. So it isn't a place for a novice. With the damaged plane now sitting on the runway, the airport says it will remain closed until Monday afternoon. The incident will now be investigated by the Dutch Safety Board, and experts say Canada's Transportation Safety Board will also be involved. Sarah Reid, CBC News, Edmonton.

France is on the verge of political uncertainty. The Prime Minister may be ousted today. Francois Beirut, addressing members of the Assembly National, a head of a confidence vote on his leadership, Beirou says his motion is a moment of truth for first. He called for the vote after his austerity budget was widely criticized. If Peru is ousted, President Emmanuel Macron will need to appoint a new PM or call an election. Canadian soccer phenom, Olivia Smith, is turning heads on the international pitch. The 21-year-old from Whitby, Ontario, made her debut with London's Arsenal Football Club. Not only did she score a goal, but she was named Player of the Match.

Smith is also the first women's soccer player to receive a transfer fee of more than a million pounds. She spoke to the CBC's Breyer-Stuart. In front of a crowd of thousands at London's Emirates Stadium, Olivia Smith sent the ball into the top corner of the net, scoring her first goal for Arsenal in England's Women's Super League. No sign of being affected by the big price tag. By that, he means Smith was already center stage. In July, Arsenal paid more than 1 million pounds,

the equivalent of about 1.8 million Canadian dollars to secure her from her previous club, Liverpool. At the time, it was the most expensive transfer fee ever in women's soccer. In an interview with CBC News, Smith said she tries not to focus on the numbers. I'm just focused on the present, learning and growing from my teammates and the people around me. What about the attention?

You know, it can be overwhelming sometimes of them being honest. Like, I think as an athlete, the main thing you want to do focus on your craft. Smith started playing soccer at just three years old. At age 15, she became the youngest player to lace up with Canada's national women's soccer team. She told CBC News that she hopes to be a role model and wants to help bring the women's game more in line with the men's. Obviously, if you look on the men's side, what the men are going for and what we were going for maybe a couple years ago, there's just so much of a gap. And I think we're not that close to it now. But I mean, I think we'll get

there with the way that we're, with the way that the trajectory is going for women's football. And she's also set her eyes on playing for Canada at the World Cup and at the Olympics in 2028. Breyer Stewart, CBC News, London. That is World Report. I'm Marcia Young.
