Hey, I'm Sarah Marshall, and there's one story from the past that I've been circling around for years now. This eight-part series traces the hidden history of the satanic panic in North America. We'll connect the dots from Victoria, BC, to the backroads of Kentucky. Satan was having a moment, the sensationalist heartthrob of our time. The Devil You Know, available now wherever you get your podcasts. from cbc news it's the world this hour i'm joe cummings former u.s vice president dick cheney has died cheney served alongside republican president george w bush for two terms between 2001 and 2009 and for decades he was a towering political figure in washington following the attacks of nine

11, Cheney oversaw the country's so-called War on Terror and the controversial invasion of Iraq, which he always defended. Here he is 15 years ago on CNN. I don't think you can make a case that the world would be better off today if Saddam Hussein were still in power. So no regrets about Iraq. I think we made exactly the right decisions. In recent years, Cheney turned away from the Republican Party and was publicly critical of Donald Trump. Cheney called Trump, quote, a coward and a threat to. to the Republic, and he endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election campaign. Dick Cheney was 84 years old.

Now to Ottawa, where today is Budget Day, and Prime Minister Mark Carney and finance minister Francois Philippe Champagne have been signaling that along with big investments, they will be making big cuts. Janice McGregor reports. This finance minister has been sitting on a number of secrets, including exactly what he decided after right. his cabinet colleagues last summer and telling them to find $25 billion in spending reductions, way more than the Liberals had campaigned on.

A senior Canadian official tells CBC News that tens of billions worth of programming and expenditure cuts have been identified. Mark Carney may have started off the year talking about trimming the bureaucracy through attrition, but that message has migrated in recent weeks as the scale of these spending reductions took shape. The Prime Minister signaled in his pre-budget speech, two weeks ago that some things the Liberals have been doing, the campaigned on perhaps still want to do, aren't possible now.

So as we get our hands on this budget, we're going to check for what campaign promises have to be set aside, if not outright abandoned. Janice McGregor, CBC News, Ottawa. CBC Radio will have special coverage of today's budget rollout. It gets underway at 4 o'clock Eastern on CBC Radio 1 and on the CBC Listen app. Now to the Yukon election, and after nine years of the liberals being in office,

the territory is getting a new government and a new premier. Nancy Thompson reports. They chose a new path. They chose change. Yukoners chose a strong majority Yukon Party government. 40-year-old Curry Dixon will be the first Yukon Premier to have been born in the territory. The Yukon Party ran on a mantra of change, and voters here agreed. Yukoners have told us that they want to see this change, and the good news is that change is here.

Dixon told the party faithful he'd use his solid majority to deal with the housing and health care crisis in the territory, and he promised the right-leaning Yukon Party would wean the Yukon off its over-reliance on government spending. And they've told us that we need to get our economy back on track to put growth of the private sector at the forefront of our agenda. The Yukon NDP doubled its seat counts to six. Liberal Premier Mike Pemberton in office for just five months lost his riding in a massive defeat, a clear repudiation of the liberal brand. Nancy Thompson, CBC News, Whitehorse. Voters in New York City are electing their next mayor today.

And with the polls open, 34-year-old Zoran Mondami is the frontrunner. He's up against former governor Andrew Cuomo, who is being endorsed by Donald Trump. Donald Trump just put out a statement encouraging New Yorkers saying they must vote for Andrew Cuomo. We know. and have known for months that Donald Trump would favor Andrew Cuomo as the mayor.

They share the same donors. They share the same small vision. Cuomo stepped down as governor in 2021 amid multiple accusations of sexual harassment. He's running as an independent after losing to Mandami in the Democratic primary. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings. Thank you.
