Prime Minister Mark Carney will hold his first Cabinet meeting tomorrow. The new Cabinet is a mix of newcomers and veterans with lots of political experience. Tom Parry has more. Mark Carney and his team welcome to Rideau Hall, a swearing-in ceremony for the Prime Minister's new Cabinet, one that Carney says is ready to get to work. It will operate with a commitment to true cabinet government, with everyone expected and empowered to show leadership. Carney's team, a mixture of new and old voices from every province and the North,

to Conservative leader Pierre Poilier familiar faces, prove Carney was never about offering real change. Canadians cannot afford more high-spending, high-taxing, over-regulating, out-of-touch liberal policies that have priced young people out of homes. Poliev says his party will hold the government to account and work with it when it can, though the Conservative leader first has to win a seat having lost his in the election. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. We've got breaking news from Los Angeles. A Superior Court Judge has just re-sentenced

Eric and Lyle Menendez after 35 years behind bars for murdering their parents. The case made headlines for decades. Steve Futterman is at the courthouse tonight. We have found out what this new sentence will be. The judge has completely ended the hearing. He decided that, yes, under the rules of California, both Eric and Lyle Menendez would be allowed to be resentenced. He heard arguments, he heard comments, pleas, basically, from Eric and Lyle Menendez via a video link,

and he's announced that their new sentence, it was life in prison without the possibility of parole, they have been resentenced. It's now a 50 years to life sentence. Now, what does that mean? He's announced that their new sentence, it was life in prison without the possibility of parole. They have been re-sentenced. It's now a 50 years to life sentence. Now what does that mean? They have served around 35 years in prison already. This means the brothers are eligible for parole.

Does that mean they're going to be freed? Not so quick. A parole board will have to determine that. If the parole board says, yes, we approve that we feel they should be released, there is still another hurdle. California Governor Gavin Newsom has the right to block it. So still a long ways from having Eric and Lyle Menendez freed from prison, but a major step has been taken here.

The U.S. and Saudi Arabia have just signed multi-billion dollar business deals including what's being billed as the largest defense sales agreement in U.S. history. President Donald Trump is in Riyadh, the first stop on his four-day Middle East tour. The CBC's Chris Brown is there. The Saudis gave Donald Trump more than just a lavish welcome. It was a full on most important person in the entire world welcome, as he met the kingdom's de facto leader, 39-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, or MBS as he's known.

Trump was effusive in his praise for his host. MBS in turn praised Trump, not just for signing $600 billion in trade deals, but also for trying to bring security to the Middle East. But the biggest round of applause Trump got during his speech came not for a comment on Saudi Arabia, but on Syria. I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness. That's a move the Saudis and some

European countries have already done even though Syria's new president al- shara was once part of extremist groups. Trump may meet here with Shara Wednesday. Chris Brown, CBC News in Riyadh. Billions of dollars worth of investment in Canada's automotive sector are being postponed. Honda is hitting the brakes on major upgrades and changes to its facilities in Ontario.
