From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Mike Miles. Israel says it has delivered a successful

opening strike against targets in Iran. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We also struck at the heart of Iran's ballistic missile program. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the people of Israel early Friday morning. U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly said he hopes nuclear talks with Iran will continue as scheduled on Sunday. Iran is vowing retaliation against Israel after key military figures were killed. Israel is now bracing for Iranian missiles. Sasha Petrasek reports. There will be streaks in the sky as Israel's defense

system tries to intercept these missiles, but it's not clear how much help it's going to be getting from other neighbors and from others this time around and whether it will be able to handle this. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went on the air, said that Israel's very survival was at stake. When enemies vow to destroy you, believe them. When enemies build weapons of mass death, stop them. As the Bible teaches us, when someone comes to kill you, rise and act first.

This is exactly what Israel has done today. We have risen like lions to defend ourselves. And so that is why this is called Rising Lion. That's the operational name for this. Netanyahu says it's going to last for a number of days, which isn't surprising because Israel has been preparing for exactly this for some time now.

The CBC's Sasha Petrosic reporting from Washington. A U.S. senator was forcibly pushed to the ground and handcuffed in Los Angeles as he shouted questions at the Homeland Security Secretary about the arrest and detention of undocumented migrants. It marks the latest pressure point in a country already divided over the use of force. Paul Hunter reports. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem updating reporters on the ongoing federal immigration raids in California. But then, suddenly, a man walks into the room and toward Noem, seemingly intent on asking a question on that. He has been able to do this. Hands up, hands up! A scuffle ensues.

The man forced out of the room by Noem's security team, even as he tells them he's a U.S. Senator. Democrat Alex Padilla, later on CNN. If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to day laborers. Nome later said her security was unaware the man was a senator as they detained him. All of it viscerally underlining the skyrocketing tensions in California and throughout the U.S. as Donald Trump's directive for federal authorities to round up and deport as many undocumented immigrants as they can continues.

Paul Hunter, CBC News, Los Angeles. A judge's rule trumped federalization of national guard troops in California was illegal. Justice Charles Breyer said the LA protest fell well short of rebellion, but just hours after that decision, an appeals court decided Trump's deployment of the guard could continue. The matter will be debated at a court hearing this coming Tuesday. Let world leaders know Canada wants to diversify its oil and gas customer base and improve trade relations with the United States. Those are two key things Alberta Premier Daniel Smith would like Prime Minister Mark Carney to focus on at the upcoming G7 summit. Smith says improving trade relations is important considering America is Canada's number one energy customer. I want to help the Americans

get global energy dominance because they cannot do it without us. They produce 13 million barrels a day of oil, they consume 19 million barrels a day. The differential that they get, they have to get from somewhere and a lot of their refineries because they're so old are too old to receive our particular brand of heavy oil which you can't get from many other jurisdictions. The summit begins Sunday. The Edmonton Oilers have tied the Stanley Cup final at two games a piece beating the Florida Panthers Thursday night 5-4 in overtime. Game five is Saturday night in Edmonton. That is your World This Hour. Remember, you can listen to us wherever you get your podcasts. We're updated every hour, seven days a week. For CBC News, I'm
