I'm Kate McGilfrey. The liberal government survived another confidence vote in Parliament. MPs voted overwhelmingly against a block-Khebequa amendment to the federal budget. It called for the budget to be rejected on the basis that it's, quote, harmful to Quebec. Yesterday, MPs defeated a similar budget motion from the conservatives. That doesn't mean the budget itself has passed with that vote expected to happen. later this month. Meanwhile, senior conservatives on the Hill are facing some tough questions about how they lost two MPs ahead of that high-stakes budget vote. David Thurton has that story.

Matt Jenneru met with the Prime Minister. Did Matt Jennery said? Amid rumors about him crossing the floor. Andrew Scheer, the Conservative House leader, dismissing reports about one of his MPs. CBC News has confirmed Matt Jeneru met with the Prime Minister, Mark Carney. But he didn't cross the floor like a conservative-turn liberal MP, Chris Dantrema. Instead, announcing he will resign as an MP. I take Matt General at his word. I do not take unnamed liberal sources at the word. I don't respond to rumors. But the questions continue about why General resigned and why he asked in his resignation letter that people not contact his family, NDPMP, Gore-John's. Well, I think anytime somebody puts

out a letter saying, leave my family alone, there's a lot of questions that they need to answer. John said, it's heartbreaking to see Jenna Rugo. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it's completed a call of about 300 ostriches on a BC farm. It says they were killed by the most humane method available, marksman, in a controlled setting. This looks like the final chapter in what has been a prolonged battle over the fate of these birds. The call was originally ordered last December during an avian flu outbreak, but the farm owners went to court hoping to block it.

The legal back and forth ended yesterday when the Supreme Court refused to hear their appeal. The CFIA has requested the RCMP stay on the farm site while the agency disposes of the ostrich remains. Typhoon Kalmagi has killed at least five people in Vietnam. The storm hummed the country's coastline with heavy rain and strong winds, uprooting trees, and damaging thousands of homes. It also triggered large-scale power outages,

affecting over a million people. Authorities warn more rainfall could trigger flooding and landslides. The typhoon has already brought devastation to the Philippines earlier this week, killing nearly 190 people. Belgium is weighing countermeasures to alleged national security threats from Russia. Dron sightings disrupted flights at two Belgian airports overnight, part of a string of drone incidents affecting airports in a number of European countries recently. And for the first time this week, an airport in Sweden, Sweden was also hit with a drone scare.

Anna Cunningham has more. The number of drone sightings reported at airports across Europe recently is on the rise. Overnight, both Belgium and Sweden faced disruption from drones described as of unknown origin. The German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius believes there is a direct link with Russia and a planned EU loan to Ukraine that could be funded by frozen Russian assets. We all see it that way, and so do the Belgians, says Historius. Frozen Russian assets are held worldwide, including in Canada.

Historius says the drone sightings are designed to create uncertainty and fear in Belgium. Russia has not commented. The Belgian government is considering a multi-million dollar package of measures that it says will strengthen the country's anti-dron systems. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. The mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, says the number of fatalities connected to a plane crash this week has gone up. A UPS plane crashed and exploded on Tuesday shortly after takeoff in a post online this evening. Louisville mayor Craig Greenberger says another victim was located at the crash site, bringing the death toll to 14 people.
