The World This Hour for 2025/05/22 at 14:00 EDT

So, how did the Liberals manage to win government while the Conservatives also boosted their voter support with voters almost evenly split between the two? And what will this mean for hopes of some cooperation on Parliament Hill this spring? I'm Catherine Cullen and every Saturday on The House, we cut through the noise to make politics make sense. Follow us wherever you get your podcasts as we explore these questions and answer yours. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Julianne Hazelwood. US officials say they believe the alleged gunman in last night's Washington DC shooting acted alone. Two staffers of the Israeli

embassy were shot dead outside the Capitol Jewish Museum. Aaron Collins reports. We heard between 10 to 15 gunshots roughly. Witnesses say the shooting started just after 9. The attack left Yaron Leshinsky and Sarah Milgram, a young couple, dead. Washington DC Police Chief Pamela Smith says the alleged shooter was quickly detained. The suspect chanted free, free Palestine while in custody.

The suspect has been tentatively identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, Illinois. The attack quickly condemned as an example of rising anti-Semitism around the world. Near Bar-Kat is Israel's minister of economy and industry. The terror is not just an Israeli challenge, it's a global challenge. And if it happens here in Washington, it can happen anywhere around the world. The killings come as Israel ramps up its military attacks in the Gaza Strip, an offensive condemned earlier this week by the UK, France and Canada.

Erin Collins, CBC News, Washington. Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's devastated and appalled by the shootings. He's condemning what he calls a targeted attack against the Jewish community, adding his government will fight increasing hate crimes. He repeated the commitment he made on the campaign trail to increase funding to the Canada Community Safety Program. Carney also promised legislation to make it a criminal offense to block any place of worship or threaten those attending services. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the shooting incident in the West Bank earlier this week was an accident. Israeli troops opened fire near a

delegation of international diplomats on a visit to the city of Jenin. Four Canadian representatives were on that trip. The army initially said the delegation deviated from its approved route and the shots were fired as a warning. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand summoned the Israeli ambassador yesterday to demand an investigation. Several people died when their small plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood but officials say there were no fatalities on the ground. Steve Futterman has the latest. The crash took place in the middle of the night, in the middle of a residential neighborhood

for military families. This woman lives nearby. We woke up at about 345 to our bed shaking. I thought it was an earthquake and then all of a sudden it was just pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Numerous fires broke out along with a number of explosions. The plane was a private Cessna 550. Remarkably, no one on the ground was seriously injured.

More than a dozen homes caught fire. Some will likely be total losses. San Diego Police Chief Scott Wall arrived at the scene shortly after the crash. With the jet fuel going down the street and everything on fire all at once, it was pretty horrific to see. The Federal Aviation Administration is already at the scene.

It has started its investigation. There were foggy skies at the time of the crash. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles. The Manitoba Museum has issued a formal apology to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. It has acknowledged that it has held ancestral remains and related belongings from these communities within its collections. The museum says by doing so, it contributed to and played a role in colonization. Canadian basketball legend Steve Nash is congratulating Shay Gilgis Alexander on his new title.

The Oklahoma City Thunder Point Guard was named the NBA's MVP yesterday. Gilgis Alexander is only the second Canadian to win the title after Nash did it 20 years ago. Nash says it signals the growth of the sport in Canada, and he's proud of what Gilgis Alexander has accomplished. It's amazing. This is a very special moment for me. I genuinely get super excited to see his success and it's really probably my favorite player to watch. Gildes Alexander led the league in regular season scoring.

And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
