We begin in Ottawa with a look at Prime Minister Mark Carney's new cabinet. 28 ministers and 10 secretaries of state were sworn in today at Rideau Hall. Many of them are brand new MPs. David Thurton has more. With a new team, purpose built for this hinge moment in Canada's history. Prime Minister Mark Carney outside Rideau Hall after the swearing in.

His new cabinet has new and old faces. Justin Trudeau-era cabinet minister Francois-Philippe Champagne remains finance minister. Anita Onon swaps jobs with Melanie Jolie. Onon going to foreign affairs as Canada hosts the G7 summit next month. Her predecessor... I, Melanie Jolie, do solemnly and sincerely promise and declare heads to industry. Krisha Freeland keeps her job at transport.

Kearney's new cabinet has 28 members. Many are rookie ministers, like former Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. Execute the powers and trusts reposed in me as Minister of Housing and Infrastructure. Kearney is reviving a dormant ministerial role. Ten Secretaries of State are supporting the new cabinet, including one focused on crime. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa. Conservative leader Pierre Polyav says the new cabinet has too many prominent names who served under Justin Trudeau. Then there's Jolie, LeBlanc, Hajdu, Anand. Anand was the president of the treasury board, during which time the

bureaucracy and the consultant bills blew out of control in all. Fourteen Trudeau ministers are now in Carney's cabinet. It's more of the same when Canada needs real change. But Polyab says the Conservatives will not be opposing everything the new government does. He promises the opposition support for actions that benefit Canadians, and he encouraged Carney to steal his ideas on housing, inflation and crime. Now to the trial of five former World Junior

hockey players. The cross-examination of the complainant, known as EM, has come to an end. The five defendants have pleaded not guilty to an alleged sexual assault in 2018. Ali Shiasan reports from London, Ontario. Defense counsel for CalFoot, Juliana Greenspan, questioned EM's level of intoxication. She takes the court back to Jack's bar, showing security footage from inside to a moment where EM is talking to the bouncer who was a friend of hers. Greenspan says she looks animated and excited and quote, not drunk out of your mind but excited to tell your friend about who she had met. At one point Greenspan pulls out a strappy high heel shoe. It's a replica of the shoes EM wore the night of the alleged

assault suggesting that they're not easy to put on, not easy to run in or skip up the steps of the hotel as she's seen doing in hotel security footage. EM has testified that she's just good at walking in heels. Greenspan has wrapped up her cross-examination, so that's it for EM, who has been on the stand for seven straight days. The Crown will resume calling other witnesses tomorrow. Ali Chiasan, CBC News, London, Ontario. After nearly 30 years behind bars for murdering their parents, the Menendez brothers may be

one step closer to freedom. Late today, a California judge re-sentenced Eric and Lyle Menendez to 50 years to life. That means they're immediately eligible for parole. Mark Garagos is the brothers lawyer. I want to do a hat tip to Judge Jessic, who was able to cancel out all the noise surrounding this, all of the grandstanding, all of the political back and forth. The brothers claim they were sexually abused by their father. Both were originally sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he will be in Turkey on Thursday,

waiting for Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Volodymyr Zelensky is hoping to secure a 30-day ceasefire if Putin meets him face to face in Turkey. The Winnipeg Jets are hosting the Dallas Stars tonight in game four of their second round series. Dallas is ahead 2-1 in the third period. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Hurland.
