From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neal Herland. Horrific details are emerging tonight in Boulder, Colorado. After an attacker allegedly tried to set six

people on fire. The victims were taking part in a weekly event to show support for the Israeli hostages being held captive in Gaza. Cell phone video shows the aftermath of the attack. People are heard screaming, and some of the victims are on the ground. Alex Osante witnessed the attack. There was a guy throwing, he threw a molotov cocktail at a group of protesters.

And one person caught on fire from head to toe. And they were burning up. Their whole body was burning up. And a few others were also on fire. Mark McCulloch is the FBI special agent in charge of the investigation. He calls it a targeted terror attack at an outdoor mall. The suspect was heard to yell free Palestine during the attack.

The subject has been identified as Mohammed Sabri Salman. And he's 45 years old. The six victims are between 67 and 88 years old. One of them is seriously injured. In the Middle East, denials and finger pointing after a deadly attack on Palestinian civilians, the Red Cross says gunmen killed at least 21 people near an aid distribution center and injured more than 100. But who's responsible is under dispute, with both Hamas and Israel blaming each other for the attack.

Tom Parry reports. A chaotic scene at a hospital in Hanunis after a deadly bout of gunfire in southern Gaza near an aid distribution site. Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry blames the Israeli military for the shootings. Israel denies it fired at civilians, and released drone footage, not verified by CBC News, that it says shows masked gunmen firing on civilians as they gather looted aid near Hanunis. While there are questions around this incident, Gaza remains under intense Israeli bombardment. Israel has repeatedly been urged to show restraint. Amid all this, talk of a ceasefire in Gaza has now bogged down, Hamas requesting changes

to the U.S. broker deal, a conflict with no end in sight on any front. Tom Perry, CBC News, Jerusalem. The provincial and territorial premiers are arriving in Saskatoon for their first meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney since the April election. Expectations are high, and several are pushing for Ottawa to fast-track major nation-building projects including a new pipeline. Rafi Boujikanean has more. I'm proud to be here today with my friend, the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford to sign

the deal. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe shaking hands with his Ontario counterpart, Doug Ford. I just want to thank Premier Moe. Signing an agreement to work together to allow easier flows of goods and labour between their two provinces. He's a champ, that's all I know. He's the best. But this is the easy part. Getting all Prem premiers in Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney to agree on new pipeline projects will be the real challenge.

The clear ask from Alberta's Danielle Smith to Carney ahead of this meeting, a show of support from Moe. We need to open up the opportunity. Ford also saying the federal government should repeal its environmental assessment act. Get rid of Bill C-69. During his election campaign, Carney said he'd keep that legislation, but more recently he's tried to talk about working around it. Rafi Bajikan, YonCBC News, Saskatoon.

Canada's film and television industry gave its top prize tonight to a movie about Donald Trump. The Canadian Screen Award goes to... The Apprentice. The Apprentice wins Best Motion Picture. It tells the story of Donald Trump's early years before he became the American president. It was filmed in Toronto.

Daniel Beckerman is the lead producer. The most powerful person in the world tried to squish us. And they failed. They failed. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Herland.
