From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Mike Miles. Iran's Fars News Agency is quoting senior military officials saying its conflict with Israel is about to spread to US bases in the Middle East. That threat comes hours before a major display of force in Washington with a military parade commissioned by US President Donald Trump. Jennifer Glass has this to you. We're gonna be celebrating big tanks armored vehicles and more than 6,500 US soldiers will parade down Constitution Avenue. Critics are comparing it to military displays usually seen in Russia, China, or North Korea.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, called Trump's actions unconscionable. Using his power to have a militarized celebration that's just not very becoming of our country. Protests are planned across the U.S. today. A rejection of what they call Trump's show of power. Presidents and protesters are people who hate America. They will be met with very big force.

Here in Florida, officials echo the president's hard line. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey. If you throw a brick, a fire bomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead. Dozens of protests are planned across the state, including some heading to Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. For CBC News, I'm Jennifer Glass in Neusmourna Beach, Florida.

Both Iran and Israel are on alert as the two countries keep lobbing missiles and drones at each other. Local paramedics in central Israel blame an Iranian missile in at least two deaths and more than a dozen injuries. Several homes are damaged in the Roshon Lezion, four of them severely. Earlier, another Iranian missile hit a condo building in Tel Aviv, at least three people killed there, and many survivors left shaken. When it happens, we were strong, we did whatever it takes to survive, we did whatever it takes

to help people. In Israel, you're used to terror. It just depends who's going to get it this time. And this time it was me. When it comes to those kind of situations, I do what you need to do. In Tehran, Iranian officials report two projectiles hit Maribad International Airport, starting fires which sent up large plumes of smoke. The airport is also an Air Force base.

Israel began the operation early Friday in a mission to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb. Now, the attacks have led the Trump administration to reverse course on some of its cuts to international broadcaster Voice of America. After three months on leave, its 75 Farsi-speaking staffers are being ordered to return to work immediately. Farsi is the primary language in Iran. Trump had ordered VOA to shut down in March, accusing it of propagating what he called

left-wing views. Canada's measles outbreak is showing no signs of slowing down, with more than 2,000 cases across the country, the largest outbreak since 1998. And as Jennifer Yun reports, some emergency rooms have already started adjusting. My fingernails, fabulous. Dr. Natalie Schindler sanitizes her hands, puts on a glove, a gown, a mask, and eye protection

before entering the negative pressure room, now nicknamed the measles room at McMaster Children's Hospital's emergency department in Hamilton, Ontario. She's trying to keep a room full of vulnerable kids safe from getting infected with measles. Dr. Jeffrey Pernica is a pediatric infectious disease physician at the hospital.

He says containing a measles outbreak is difficult, especially in a hospital setting. Every single measles case involves a whole bunch of extra work for all of the rest of the system. And when they're doing that, they aren't able to provide care for other conditions. Pernica says he'd like to see a vaccine registry and a crackdown on misinformation online about the virus and the vaccine that can prevent it. Jennifer Yoon, CDC News, Toronto.

A health organization's warning of some unintended side effects from the Liberal government's new internal trade bill. The Canadian Cancer Society's Rob Cunningham says it could allow weaker provincial rules to override stronger federal ones. The Liberal government plans to study the bill quickly before passing it by next Friday. That is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles.
