Other People's Problems was the first podcast to take you inside real-life therapy sessions. I'm Dr. Hilary McBride, and again, we're doing something new. The ketamine really broke down a lot of my barriers. This work has this sort of immediate transformational effect. Therapy Using Psychedelics is the new frontier in mental health. Come along for the trip. Other People's Problems Season 5, available now. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Stephanie Scanderis. The final words of O Canada in Anishinaabemowin performed at Rideau Hall. Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet has been sworn in a short time ago and there are a

lot of new faces. In all there are 28 ministers and 10 secretaries of state. Of those, 24 join the cabinet for the first time, including 13 newly elected MPs. Several senior cabinet ministers continue in their roles. They include Francois-Philippe Champagne, Christia Freeland, and Dominique LeBlanc. They will continue as finance, infrastructure, and intergovernmental affairs ministers respectfully. Honda is postponing a 15 billion dollar investment project in electric vehicles. The plan was to build an EV supply chain in Alliston, Ontario. It aimed to produce 200,000 vehicles each year starting in 2028.

The company says it's postponing plans by two years due to a slowdown in the EV market. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he spoke with Honda. They promised us they're going to continue on with their expansion. They're going to keep that facility moving forward. So we'll just see how that moves forward. But we're very confident that we'll continue producing Honda vehicles here in Ontario. Honda says the decision has no impact on jobs or current production at the manufacturing facility in Aliston. The United States is the hottest country with the exception of your country I have to say right?

U.S. President Donald Trump fresh off a deal struck with Saudi Arabia to the tune of 600 billion dollars. It includes what the White House calls the largest defense sales agreement in US history. The Saudis are purchasing some $142 billion of American-made military equipment and support. Today we reaffirm this important bond and we take the next steps to make our relationship closer, stronger, and more powerful than ever before. It is more powerful than ever before. In his speech, Trump also had harsh words for Iran.

He warned the U.S. would inflict maximum pressure if a nuclear agreement isn't reached. He also says he's moving to lift sanctions on Syria and normalize relations with that country. In the trial of five former World Junior Hockey players, the cross-examination of the complainant, known as EM, is nearing its end. The five defendants have pleaded not guilty to sexual assault in connection with an incident in 2018. Ali Chyasson has the latest from the court in London, Ontario.

Defence lawyer for Cal Foot, Juliana Greenspan, grilled E.M. about her referring to the accused as men and not boys. Throughout cross-examinations, the lawyers have been calling the accused boys. Quote, you have specifically refused to use the word boy at this trial. Isn't that right? It was a conscious decision by you to say man or men, Greenspan asks. E.M. replies, it's not a conscious decision. They were 18 or 19. They were that age. EM testified that she referred to them as boys back in 2018 because that's how she

talked when she was 20 years old. She says she's matured and now calls adults men and women. Greenspan also characterized her family as a hockey family. Her brother played hockey, so did dad, suggesting that she may have known the accused hockey players and their gold medal win as World Juniors. EM denied that and testified that hockey was not something that she was interested in or paid attention to. Cross-examination continues for the seventh straight day. Ali Chiasan, CBC News, London, Ontario. To New York and the trial of Sean Diddy Combs. Very ready.

He's confident. Thank you. Douglas Wigdor is the attorney for Cassie Ventura, who takes a stand today. The singer is Combs' ex-girlfriend and the prosecution's star witness. Her lawsuit alleging sexual and domestic abuse sparked the current U.S. federal investigation. The jury also saw the notorious hotel surveillance footage of an argument between Combs and Ventura in 2016. Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. And that is Your World This Hour. I'm Stephanie Scanderis.
