Tees and Cs apply. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Neil Hurland. Canada has formerly recognized a Palestinian state. The move was made alongside Britain and Australia. J.P. Tasker reports. Prime Minister Mark Carney's office says this decision, quote, empowers those who seek peaceful coexistence and the end of Hamas. And it's needed now because the Israeli government,

government is working methodically to prevent the prospect of a Palestinian state from ever being established. Palestinians are celebrating the diplomatic breakthrough. Riyadh Mansour speaks for the territory at the United Nations. These countries are determined to take steps not to allow this tragic situation to continue and to make it the destiny of the Palestinians and the Israeli Jews to continue fighting forever, what we need is peace.

The young men who feel like they have no direction, no purpose, no faith and no reason to live. the men wasting their lives on distractions and the men consumed with resentment, anger, and hate. Young men, just like the one who took his life. I forgive him. President Donald Trump also spoke, crediting Charlie Kirk with uniting the American conservative movement and securing his victory.

Charlie Kirk was without a doubt among the most influential, figures in the most important election in the history of our country. The election of, oh, that beautiful day, November 5th, 2024. Do you remember that day? It was nine months ago. Trump also called Kirk a hero and a martyr.

Well, when it comes to their new budget, the Liberals have some convincing to do.

They say they will table a transformational budget on November 4th, but as Philip Lee Shanock reports, they'll need to win over some opposition conservative votes to get it through. It's more like a down payment in the future prosperity of Canada. Federal finance minister Frasso-Philippe Champagne says, in the face of an unreliable trading partner, candidate needs to reinvent itself. And investments like that, which is generational, will require us to borrow it. When pushed by the CBC's Rosemary Barton, Champagne would not commit to a figure. Just that along with that borrowing, there would be a spending reduction.

We want to have our operational spending under control. Conservative Party House leader Andrew Shear is skeptical that the liberal government can do both. And he says he will keep the Kearney government to account if it goes above the deficit figure it set. During the campaign, he put in black and white in a written commitment to Canadians that he would cap the deficit at $62 billion. He says the party will wait and see

what the budget holds before deciding if it will support the government. Philip Lichanawk, CBC News, Toronto. The legendary Philadelphia Flyers goalie Bernie Parin has died. Paran led Philly to their only two Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 75. He was 80 years old.
