Prime Minister Mark Carney says

he feels positive about how his meeting with US President Donald Trump went today, a reset between the two nations. Trump agrees the meeting went today, a reset between the two nations. Trump agrees the meeting went well, adding he thinks the relationship is going to be very strong. Evan Dyer reports. Really today marked the end of the beginning. Mark Carney used Winston Churchill's phrase of 1942 to describe where he felt the Oval Office meeting had left the negotiation. The question is how we will cooperate in the future.

Carney had been careful to keep expectations low going into the meeting, and Donald Trump said there was nothing Carney could say to him that would persuade him to lift tariffs. And indeed, Carney confirmed afterwards that hadn't happened. But he said the two countries were now engaged in a large negotiation, and that they were talking as countries that respect each other's sovereignty. These are the discussions you have when you're looking to find solutions as opposed to laying down terms if you will. So feel better about that. Carney also said he told Trump in private that his 51st state talk wasn't helpful but he acknowledged that only Trump would

decide whether he chooses to repeat it or not. Evan Dyer, CBC News, Ottawa. I'll be taking over the parliamentary leadership duties of the caucus until Mr. Poliev rejoins us in the House.

The Saskatchewan MP-elect and former Conservative leader will head the party when the spring sitting begins on May 26th. Poliev lost his seat and won't be able to return to the House until he wins a by-election.

The five men have pleaded not guilty. Alicia Sant reports. What do we want? Justice! The day started again with a crowd outside of the London Ontario courthouse supporting the complainant known as EM under a publication ban. On cross-examination, player Michael McCloud's defence attorney, David Humphrey, questioned her level of comfortability with the hockey players at the bar that night in June 2018. Humphrey said, quote, I suggest you liked the attention from Mr. McCloud and his friends. EM testified, quote, it was confusing for me because

I'm not used to that kind of attention at the bar. Humphrey also alleges that at the hotel after having sex with McCloudM. asked for the others to join. Humphrey said, quote, I suggest you said something like, get some of those guys back here. I want to have a wild night. E.M. responded, quote, that doesn't sound like something I would say. She's previously testified that she was surprised when the others walked into the room. Ali Shiasan, CBC News, London. India says it has carried out strikes on militants in northeast Pakistan. It is retaliation for a suspected attack on tourists last month

and marks a serious escalation after weeks of growing military tension. Salima Shivji has more from Mumbai. It's been exactly two weeks of tense waiting and watching since the militant attack in Indian controlled Kashmir that killed 26 men, mostly tourists, with small escalations every day. And now what many saw as inevitable, these military strikes. India's defence ministry released a statement calling this a targeted attack on nine sites used by militants, they say, in Pakistan and on Pakistan's side of disputed Kashmir. None of them, the statement stresses, are Pakistani military facilities. The statement says India's actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory and that

India has demonstrated what officials here call considerable restraint in selecting the targets and in the method of execution. Pakistan security officials say the strike killed at least one child and that they are still counting the injured. Officials in Pakistan are vowing that this will not go unanswered and that a response is already underway. In a statement, the Pakistani government says the temporary pleasure of India will be replaced by quote, enduring grief.
