In Portugal, the governing right-of-center coalition has just won a snap legislative election but again fallen short of a majority in parliament. The opposition Socialist Party is in turmoil, with its leader announcing his resignation after it ended up trying with relatively new far-right Chega party. Alison Roberts reports from Lisbon. The Democratic alliance of Prime Minister Luís Montenegro increased its seat tally but still lacks a majority, even if it teams up with the smaller liberal initiative. Still, in an address to supporters, the victor promised to get back to work, stimulating investment in order

to bring prosperity and social justice. Portugal's non-executive president will hold talks with all the parties before asking anyone to form a government. Meanwhile, it's unclear who will lead the opposition, as the Socialist Party, historically dominant in Portuguese politics, now has the same number of seats as far-right Chega, which campaigned against immigration and corruption. Chega's leader, André Ventura, declared this historic election as marking the end of two-party politics in Portugal.

Alison Roberts for CBC News, Lisbon. A crushing loss tonight for Toronto hockey fans. The Toronto Maple Leafs are now eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Florida Panthers beat the Leafs 6-1 in game 7 of their second round series. The CBC's Greg Ross is at Scotiabank Arena. Embarrassing. It was an embarrassing loss in game 7 for the Toronto Maple Leafs. There's no doubt about that. Made worse by the fact that this is the second straight game on home ice that the Leafs lose 6-1.

So outscored their final two home games of this series and it really erases a very good performance in game six on the road that forced this game seven. I think all fans are going to be thinking about was just how poorly the Leafs played because remember this core group of players has been together for a decade now they've been to the playoffs nine straight years with their core players I'm talking about Austin Matthews Mitch Marner William Nylander John DeVaris year after year after year they make it to the playoffs and things just seem to change you don't want to go out on a game that your fans are just frustrated there were fans who were throwing their jerseys on the ice at the end of this game there

were booze starting in the second period of this game and they continued right through the third period lots of frustration from the fans the CBC's Greg Ross in Toronto tonight and the Edmonton Oilers are now the only Canadian team in the playoffs. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Herland.
