Some stories don't knock. They kick the door in. They move fast. Break rules and haunt you. See the stories that don't ask permission. They demand to be seen. This fall on APTN, they're coming for you.

From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Hurland. Canada has formally 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 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. Supporters of Hamas and the streets of Canada are very happy. Israel's ambassador to Canada is condemning Carney's decision.

Telling CBC News it rewards those who carried out the brutal October 7th attack. J.P. Tasker, CBC News, Ottawa. And Prime Minister Mark Carney met with UN Secretary General Antonio Gutieresh Sunday. They discussed the possibility of a ceasefire in Gaza. In Arizona, a massive display of grief, patriotism, and politics, as tens of thousands gathered at a memorial for Charlie Kirk, the U.S. president among those paying tribute to the conservative activists. Steve Futterman reports from the memorial in Arizona.

The event began with backpipes. Then for more than five hours, speaker after speaker praised Charlie Kirk. Some spoke of religion and forgiveness. Kirk's widow, Erica, gave an emotional speech. She talked about love, overcoming hate, even for the killer of her husband. On the cross, our Savior said, Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do. That young man, I forgive him. President Trump had a combative tone, at one point saying, I hate my opponent.

He called Kirk a giant. He was violently killed because he spoke for freedom and justice. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller gave the most angry sounding speech of the day, accusing his opponents of being forces of wickedness. You have nothing. You are nothing. The stadium, which holds between 60 and 70,000, was jammed. Many stood in line for hours to get inside. Steve Futterman, CBC News, Glendale, Arizona.

NATO will meet early this week to discuss Russia's violation of Estonian airspace. Estonia says three Russian military jets entered its airspace without permission on Friday and stayed for a total of 12 minutes before they were forced to withdraw. 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. Philip Lyshanock reports. 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, Canada 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 Lyshanock, CBC News, Toronto. And finally, the Philadelphia Flyers' legendary goalie, Bernie Parin, has died. Parin led Philly to their only Stanley Cup championship in 1974 and 75. He was 80 years old.

And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Hurland.
