Hey, how's it going? Amazing! I just finished paying off all my debt with the help of the Credit Counseling Society. Whoa! Seriously? I could really use their help. It was easy! I called and spoke with the Credit Counselor right away. They asked me about my debt, salary, and regular expenses, gave me a few options, and helped me along the way. You had a ton of debt and you're saying Credit Counseling Society helped with all of it? Yup! And now I can sleep better at night. Ha ha ha! Right on!

This is a horrific crime, and these crimes are not going to be tolerated by me and by this office. The man accused of killing two Israeli embassy staffers now faces multiple federal charges,

including first degree murder. Yaron Lashinsky and Sarah Milgram were fatally shot outside the capital Jewish Museum last night. Janine Pirro is interim U.S. attorney with the Justice Department. She says anti-Semitism will not be tolerated. We're going to continue to investigate this as a hate crime and a crime of terrorism and we will add additional charges as the evidence warrants.

A music talent agency says three of its employees are dead after a small private plane crashed in a San Diego neighborhood. Steve Futterman has the latest. The crash took place in the middle of the night, in the middle of a residential neighborhood

for military families. This woman lives nearby. We woke up at about 345 to our bed shaking. I thought it was an earthquake and then all of a sudden it was just pop pop pop pop pop. Numerous fires broke out along with a number of explosions. The plane was a private Cessna 550. Remarkably no one on the ground was seriously injured. More than a dozen homes caught fire, some will likely be total losses. San Diego Police Chief Scott Wall arrived at the scene shortly after the crash. With the jet fuel going down the street and everything on fire all at once, it was pretty

horrific to see. The Federal Aviation Administration is already at the scene. It has started its investigation. There were foggy skies at the time of the crash. Steve Huderman for CBC News, Los Angeles. We're less than four hours away now from a potential postal strike. Canada Post says it's meeting with the union and mediator this hour. Nisha Patel reports.

The union representing about 55,000 Canada Post workers says it's reviewing the latest proposal from the Postal Service and is working on counteroffers. The union is looking for a 19 percent pay bump over four years to catch up after years of steep inflation. Canada Post has offered more than 13%. It also wants to hire more part-time staff. They do see it as a slippery slope to a much smaller Canada Post and a much smaller union as a consequence. Business professor Ian Lee says the Crown Corporation has to make some changes. It's under serious financial strain and has lost at least three billion dollars since 2018. Every parcel post that they deliver, every

parcel, every courier, every letter they deliver is at a loss. So they're out of runway. Without an agreement, postal workers are set to return to the picket line at midnight Eastern. Nisha Patel, CBC News, Toronto. Stellantis says it's pausing the production of its Canadian-made electric Dodge Charger Daytona for the 2026 model year. The company says it needs time to assess the effects of U.S. tariffs. Industry Minister Melanie Jolie says she's being told jobs will not be affected.

I spoke to the CEO of Stellantis. He assured me that all jobs at Stellantis in Canada would be protected and all conditions of workers would remain the same. The Stellantis assembly plant in Windsor, Ontario will continue to produce several other models of the Dodge Charger. The Manitoba Museum has issued a formal apology to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.
