Pierre Poliev says the Conservative opposition will be holding the new government to account and will oppose the decisions that are bad for Canadians, but he promises Conservative support for actions that are in the interests of the 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. Allie Chiesin has the latest from the court in London, Ontario.

Defense 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 Chyasson, CBC News, London, Ontario. The United States is the hottest country with the exception of your country, I have to say,

right? President Donald Trump, fresh off a deal struck with Saudi Arabia to the tune of $600 billion. It includes what the White House calls the largest defense sales agreement in U.S. 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 the country. We will be waiting for Putin to meet in Turkey. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says he'll be in Turkey on Thursday, waiting for Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Zelensky is hoping to secure a 30-day ceasefire if Putin meets him face to face in Istanbul. The Ukrainian leader says if talks fail, he expects to see sanctions on Russia from the

U.S. and European Union. He's also invited President Trump to join the meeting, but Trump is sending his Secretary of State Marco Rubio instead. Putin has not said whether he will show up. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Stephanie Scanderis.
