I'm Kate McGilvery. Prime Minister Mark Carney has been out selling his new budget. Carney calls it a bold plan to revitalize the economy and change how government works. The opposition sees it differently, though, as Tom Perry tells us, the liberals have managed to secure at least one more vote to get their budget through Parliament. Now is not the time to be cautious because fortune favors the bold. On the morning after his government tabled its first budget, Prime Minister Mark Carney was out selling its merits. We're changing how government works, spending less on government operations, so Canadians can invest more in our future.

The Liberals still need to get their plan through a minority parliament and did secure one more vote this week when Nova Scotia Conservative MP, Chris Dantraman, announced he was crossing the floor to join the governing liberals. You know, I would think over the last number of months, I wasn't feeling that I was aligned with the ideals of what the leader of the opposition had been talking about. The Liberals now just two votes shy of a majority in the House. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. And for a more detailed breakdown of what's in the liberal budget, head to our news homepage at cBCNews.ca. Investigators are unseen in Louisville, Kentucky, and have begun their investigation of, yesterday's crash of a UPS cargo plane. At least 11 people are dead, including a child, and more than a dozen, were injured.

Todd Inman is with the National Transportation Safety Board. He says the plane's left wing caught fire after takeoff. We have viewed airport CCTV security coverage, which shows the left engine detaching from the wing during the takeoff role. Investigators have now recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders from the plane. The state's governor declared a state of emergency to make it easier to provide resources for recovery efforts. He also says he expects more bodies to be found. A French man drove his car into pedestrians and cyclists on the French island of Oleron. Five people were

injured, two of them seriously. Witnesses say he was shouting Alahu Akbar while police were arresting him. Police say it is not being treated as a terrorism investigation. The 35-year-old was a resident of the small island, which is popular with tourists during the summer months. In the U.S., Democrats picked up several major election wins yesterday. Their candidates won the governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia, but at Zoran Mamdani's mayoral win in New York City that's getting the most attention. Chris Reyes has more. History was made in New York City.

Mamdani is the youngest mayor of this city in a century. There's a lot of talk about what it means that the biggest city in the country. country, its financial center and a symbol of capitalism just elected a self-declared democratic socialist. His trajectory is also a big narrative. This was a guy who was holding up signs on a street corner after Trump won the election last year. No one knew him. Mumdani's long list of promises is ambitious. He is promising rent freezes, no-cost child care, free buses, government-run grocery stores, a department of community safety. Some of these promises, he can't deliver alone as a city mayor, some of this estate level. Still, he challenges those who voted for him

to now hold him accountable as he tries to deliver on those promises. Chris Reyes, CBC News, New York. And flights in and out of Brussels have resumed after an overnight shutdown. The airport said 54 flights were affected after drones were spotted over the airport. It's not clear who was operating them, but the government said it was not amateurs. Earlier this week, there were drone flights over a Belgian airbase that the government suspects was a spying operation. Belgium hosts the headquarters of NATO and the EU and Europe's biggest financial clearinghouse, holding tens of billions of euros in frozen Russian assets. And that is your world this hour.

For CBC News, I'm Kate McGilfrey. Thank you.
