At least nine people have been killed and several others injured following a Russian attack on a Ukrainian civilian bus.

Ukrainian officials say the attack occurred in the Sumy region earlier today. Russia says the attack was on a Ukrainian military staging area. The attack came just hours after Ukraine and Russia held their first direct peace talks in three years. Search efforts for two young children who went missing in Nova Scotia will resume today. Six-year-old Lily Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack disappeared

from their home in Lansdowne Station on May the 2nd. On Tuesday, police said they were following up on more than 180 tips from the public. Robert Parker is the warden for the municipality of the county of Pictou and says tension in the community won't be solved until they find Lily and Jack.

It's a mixed emotions certainly in this county I believe. It started out full of hope everybody trying so hard all the search parties and everything but after a week went by I think people knew the time was coming there were the search was going to have to be wound down. And at that point, it changed to, well, certainly disappointment, sadness. And now I think it's come to what did happen to our little ones. Search teams will be back in the area today and tomorrow where the pair were last seen. There may not be a federal budget coming this year, but at least one cabinet minister says

the government owes Canadians some more information. Newly appointed industry minister Melanie Jolie made the comments in an interview with CBC Radio's The House. Host Catherine Cullen reports. There are plenty of voices criticizing the government's decision not to put forward a budget this year. Scotiabank Vice President Derek Holt wrote that he doesn't like it one bit and the Canadians have a right to know the state of the government's finances.

In an interview, industry minister Melanie Jolie didn't explicitly defend the decision not to put forward a budget this year. Canadians ought to know what's going on with the economy. I think it's important that we share that information. Yet the government has only committed to a fall economic statement and the last ought to know what's going on with the economy. I think it's important that we share that information. Yet the government has only committed to a fall economic statement. And the last one of those was in December. Jolie seems to suggest something will happen sooner. I'm convinced that we'll have more to say on the state of the government's finances

in the coming days. Just how soon is something finance minister François-Philippe Champagne has to determine, she says. Parliament is set to return in just over a week. Catherine Cullen, CBC News, Ottawa. And you can hear more on the House right after the 9 o'clock edition of World Report, 9.30 in Newfoundland. The credit rating agency Moody's has stripped the United States of

As seen on CBC and Roger Sportsnet, the Toronto Maple Leafs scored twice in the third period to beat the Florida Panthers 2-0 last night, sending the series back to Toronto for a seventh and deciding game in a trip to the Eastern Conference Final. Captain Austin Matthews, whose first goal of the series turned out to be the winner, was asked about his team's effort.

Gutsy, I mean just a gutsy, gutsy win all around. I thought, you know, we just battled hard all three periods. It took till, you know, midway through the third to break through, but I just thought, you know, all throughout our lineup everybody played hard everybody competed. Joe was great tonight, big win. Game seven will be played in Toronto tomorrow night. The Ottawa Charge have clinched the spot in the finals of the PWHL playoffs. The Charge beat the Montreal Victoire 2-1 last night to earn a berth in the final of the Walter Cup. They'll face the defending champion Minnesota Frost. The series begins in Ottawa Tuesday night.
