The World This Hour for 2025/06/14 at 16:00 EDT

The ocean is vast, beautiful, and lawless. I'm Ian Urbina back with an all new season of The Outlaw Ocean. The stories we bring you this season are literally life or death. We look into the shocking prevalence of forced labor, mine boggling overfishing, migrants hunted and captured. The Outlaw Ocean takes you where others won't. Available on CBC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Gina Louise Phillips.

We begin in Minnesota and what state authorities call the targeted shootings of two Democratic lawmakers. Speaker Melissa 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're 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 he escaped and a massive search is now underway. Local media say the suspect is 57 year old Vance Bolter who works for a security company. Two suburbs of Minneapolis remain under shelter-in-place orders. From the US Northeast to the Southwest, anti-Trump protesters are marching. Under

banners reading No Kings, they're denouncing what they see as the US President's authoritarian policies. Steve Futterman is at a demonstration in Los Angeles. In more than a thousand cities and towns across the country, the No Kings protests were held. Some were large cities like Atlanta and Philadelphia, some much smaller like Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's Florida home. Here in Los Angeles, the major rally took place across the street from City Hall. Thousands showed up carrying all sorts of signs denouncing Donald Trump and his policies. We're a country that's built on freedom of speech. We're built on equality. We're not

built on oligarchy. We're not built on freedom of speech, we're built on equality, we're not built on oligarchy, we're not built on cruelty. Here in LA, some of the chants have focused on Trump's immigration policies and the raids that sparked clashes earlier this week. Police were very visible. Members of the LA County Sheriff's Department and the L.A. police were nearby in case of any problems. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles.

Israel's military says it's hit more targets inside Iran and says there will be more attacks in the coming days. Anna Cunningham has that story. Iranian air defenses activated above the skies in Tehran in response to fresh Israeli airstrikes. Israel has already struck Iranian nuclear and military facilities with a barrage of missiles Friday, killing several top officials and leading scientists. Iran's ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeed Irvani, said 78 people had been killed and 320 wounded in the first wave of Israeli airstrikes.

Israel has hit the Netan's uranium enrichment site and the nuclear facility at Isfahan, raising concerns from the International Atomic Energy Agency about safety at the sites. On Iranian state TV Saturday claims that an Israeli attack on a housing complex in Tehran killed 60 people, including 20 children. CBC is unable to verify the figures. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. The latest round of indirect talks between the US and Iran on a nuclear agreement will not go ahead. They were scheduled to resume tomorrow. About 1,800 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, Denair Beach, East Trout Lake, and Whelan Bay. The Stanley Cup finals move back to Edmonton tonight. The Oilers tied their series against the defending champion, Florida Panthers, at two games apiece.
