In 1977, the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club opened up a chapter in Montreal. Their enforcer was a man named Yves Trudeau. And over the course of his criminal career, Trudeau would murder no fewer than 43 people. And he would only spend seven years in prison.

From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Claude Fague. We begin in Washington, where two people were shot and killed and two others injured attending an event at

the Capitol Jewish Museum Wednesday night. Both victims, a man and a woman, were staffers of the Israeli Embassy in DC and according to reports were about to be engaged. Pamela Smith is Washington Police Chief. Preliminary investigation indicates that both victims were exiting an event at the Capitol Jewish Museum located in the 500 block of 3rd Street Northwest when the shooting occurred. We believe the shooting was committed by a single suspect who is now in custody. Prior to the shooting, the suspect was observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum. He approached a group of four people, produced

a handgun, and opened fire, striking both of our decedents. Smith says a 30-year-old Chicago man was detained following the shooting and arrested, and that police are not looking for any other suspects. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's shocked and horrified by what he calls an anti-Semitic murder. Prime Minister Mark Carney says he expects a full investigation from Israel after members of the Israeli army fired shots in the West Bank near a diplomatic delegation that included

Canadians. Marina von Stackelberg reports. The Israeli ambassador has been summoned. Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada wants an immediate explanation from Israel after it fired shots on Wednesday at Canadian officials in the West Bank. The group of diplomats included four Canadian personnel and officials from other countries. Israel says its military immediately began investigating and it will update the diplomats with its findings. It's some of many things that are totally unacceptable that's going on in the region. Earlier this week, Carney released a statement with his UK and French counterparts.

The three leaders say the level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. They call on Israel to stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid in. If not, they threaten to take concrete actions against Israel. Marina von Stackelberg, CBC News, Ottawa. It's the final day of the G7 Finance Minister's Meetings Canada is hosting this year in Banff. As a group, the ministers and central bankers are trying to come to a consensus on a number of global economic issues. Carina Roman has more.

We get along very well. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne fresh out of his bilateral meeting with US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. We took the time to discuss a number of issues. But Champagne wouldn't say what those issues were, or whether they included tariffs. Even as Canada seeks closer ties to Europe, the solo sit-down with the US's Bascent was the coveted one. John Manley, a former deputy prime minister

and finance minister, says it's an important relationship to forge. Bascent is, a lot of people call him the adult in the room, and he's someone that François-Philippe Champagne needs to befriend if he possibly can. It's anyone's guess whether what Bascent agrees to here will last beyond President Donald Trump's next impromptu tariff declaration. Champagne says the principal goal of this summit is to return stability to the global economy. Carina Roman, CBC News, Banff, Alberta. As a competitor and as a kid dreaming about the game, it's always in the back of your

mind and I'm very thankful to be at this side of the, I guess the ballot. But none of it's possible without the guys behind me. That is Hamilton, Ontario native Shay Gilgis Alexander, a star guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hamilton, Ontario native Shay Gilgis Alexander, a star guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, responding after being named the NBA's most valuable player last night. Gilgis Alexander, who led the league in scoring at nearly 33 points per game and is currently playing in the Western Conference Finals, easily beat out three-time league MVP Nicola Okich.

The only other Canadian ever to win the award was BC native Steve Nash, who did it twice in 2005 and 2006. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Figg.
