From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Claude Fagg. Today is Indigenous Veterans Day. It's now observed across Canada, but just this week, Manitoba passed legislation enshrining it into law. Karen Paul's reports. Indigenous Veterans Day started after an incident

on Remembrance Day in 1991. A group of Mohawk veterans were told they couldn't place a wreath during official ceremonies in Ottawa. It was another four years before indigenous veterans were allowed to participate. That's a big part of the day for me as to honoring that unique history. Justin Woodcock served in the Army and Navy for eight years. He's now the Veterans Program Coordinator for the Southern Chiefs Organization in Manitoba. A lot of First Nation veterans signed up at a higher rate to fight for the idea of democracy overseas and freedom

without being able to enjoy those same privileges when they returned home to. Canada. Last month, the Canadian Armed Forces apologized for racial discrimination and harassment faced by past and current members. We failed you. Woodcock says that, and Banatobes' move to enshrine Indigenous Veterans Day in law, is a big step forward. Karen Paul's, CBC News, Winnipeg. In Louisville, Kentucky, the death toll in this week's crash of a UPS cargo plane has climbed to 14. The MD 11 got 30 meters into the air before plunging off the runway in flames and slamming into two businesses. Here's Todd Inman with the National Transportation Safety Board on the cockpit voice recorder. About 37 seconds after the crew called for takeoff thrust, a repeating bell was heard

on the CVR, which persisted until the end of the recording 25 seconds later. During this time, engaged in efforts to attempt to control the aircraft before the crash. Inman says a fire ignited in one of the plane's three engines came off the left wing as it rolled down the runway. The plane had recently undergone six weeks of heavy maintenance. UPS and FedEx have announced that they are grounding their fleet of MD-11s as a precaution. The exchange of remains under the U.S. broker Gaza ceasefire continues. Last night, Israel returned the bodies of 15 Palestinians to Gaza, following the transfer of an Israeli man's body by Hamas on Friday. Since the ceasefire began, Hamas has released the remains of 23 Israeli hostages, with five still believed to be held in Gaza.

In exchange, Israel has released the bodies of nearly 300 Palestinians. Peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan have collapsed. The two sides have been meeting with mediators in Turkey. Border clashes last month saw the worst violence since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan four years ago. Dominic Volaitis has more. Afghanistan is blaming Pakistan for the breakdown of peace talks. This morning, a spokesperson for the Taliban said negotiations had failed due to Islamabad

insisting Afghanistan stop the militant groups inside its territory from launching attacks against Pakistan. Fighting between the two South Asian neighbours broke out last month after Pakistan launched air strikes in Afghanistan targeting militants who'd ambushed and killed Pakistani soldiers. Dozens were killed in the ensuing violence, the worst since the Taliban took power in 2021. Both sides are making sincere efforts to find a positive resolution to this complex.

Despite today's breakdown in peace talks, both sides say, they remain committed to the ceasefire they signed in Doha last month. But it is fragile. Dominic Velis for CBC News, Bristol, England.
