The World This Hour for 2025/06/14 at 14:00 EDT

Hey there, I'm Kathleen Goltar and I have a confession to make. I am a true crime fanatic. I devour books and films and, most of all, true crime podcasts. But sometimes, I just want to know more. I want to go deeper. And that's where my podcast, Crime Story, comes in. Every week, I go behind the scenes with the creators of the best in true crime. I chat with the host of Scamanda, Teacher's Pet, Bone Valley. The list goes on. For the insider scoop, find Crime Story in your podcast app. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Gina Louise Phillips. We begin in Minnesota and what straight state authorities call the targeted shootings of two Democratic lawmakers.

Speaker Melissa Ohn and her husband Mark were shot and killed early this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination. Governor Tim Walz says Hortman and her husband were shot in their home. Both died from their injuries. Another Democratic state lawmaker and his wife were shot and wounded. They were recovering in hospital. The suspect was wearing what looked like a police uniform and driving a replica of a police car. Mark Bruhle is the chief of the Brooklyn Park Police Department. When we did a search of the vehicle there wasn't a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials. We immediately made alerts to the state who took action on alerting them and providing security where necessary. Officers encountered the gunman outside the second location exchanging gunfire,

but the suspect escaped. A massive search is now underway. Across America anti-Trump protests are being held today under no Kings banners. The demonstrators are denouncing what they see as the US president's authoritarian actions. Jennifer Glass reports. We don't need Donald Trump in the White House. That's for sure. 77-year-old Marsha Richmond is holding a sign saying, No Kings, No Dictators. She says the U.S. President is taking away long fought for freedoms. Especially for women and for blacks and for gays.

This demonstration along a main road in New Smyrna Beach, Florida is one of more than 2,000 no-kings protests scheduled across America. National Guard veteran Darren Linebough. I didn't fight for our country to have a dictator. A smaller pro-Trump rally organized by the local Republican Club is on the same road. Shane, who declined to give his last name, is holding a large Trump flag. They're saying Trump is a king which is totally not true. That's why he got elected. You don't elect kings. In one street in one town in America the political divide is laid bare. For CBC

News I'm Jennifer Glass in New Smyrna Beach Florida. It's been an intense night of airstrikes in the Middle East as Iran and Israel traded fire. Israel claims to have knocked out Iran's air defense systems, but at a price. Trent Marie reports from Tel Aviv. Well, that state of emergency is still in place across Israel following what has been a pretty difficult night in the Israeli government's own admission. We know that while most of the missiles were intercepted by air defensesences, a number did make it through and land in several areas. Much of the destruction that we're seeing is in a suburb called Rishon

Le Zion. Rescue crews there have spent much of the morning combing through the debris and rubble and local hospitals are treating those that have been injured. We also saw a missile hit a residential building in downtown Tel Aviv very close to the Ministry of Defence. Of course this comes really as Israel had been anticipating some sort of retaliation based on the rhetoric out of Tehran but it certainly was a very busy night with four separate waves of air strikes by the Iranians and the air defense systems doing their best to intercept them. Trent Murray for CBC News, Tel Aviv. In India now, officials say 270 bodies have now been recovered from the site of this week's plane crash.

Flights have resumed out of Ahmedabad's airport, some flying over the site where in Air India Boeing 77 787 went down. 241 of the victims had been on the plane while the rest were killed when the jet slammed into a hostel for medical students. Indian authorities have ordered inspections of all of Air India's Boeing jets. About 1800 wildfire evacuees from Northern Manitoba

have been given the green light to return home today. Mandatory evacuations were lifted for Sheridan, Herb Lake Landing, Cranberry Portage and Snow Lake this morning. And a province over about 10,000 evacuees in Saskatchewan are also heading home. Five communities remain under evacuation including Creighton, Dener Beach, East Trout Lake and Weelan Bay.
