The World This Hour for 2025/06/14 at 17:00 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. This was an act of targeted political violence. We don't settle our differences with violence or at gunpoint. That's Minnesota Governor Tim Walz talking about the assassination of a Democratic state representative and her husband, and the attempted assassination of a second Democratic representative and his wife. Shelter-in-place orders are in effect in two Minneapolis suburbs, whilst police search for the suspect. Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruhle says the shooter was masquerading as a police officer.

They did drive a vehicle that looked exactly like an SUV squad car, equipped with emergency lights that looked exactly like a police vehicle. And yes, they were wearing a vest with taser, other equipment, a badge, very similar to mine. No question if they were in this room, taser, other equipment, a badge very similar to mine. No question if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer. The suspect was leaving the home of the second attack when he was approached by police and opened fire on them. He escaped through the back of the house. Brule says a manifesto and a list

of targets was found in the vehicle and the victims were on the list. Police are asking for the public's help in locating the suspect, 57-year-old Vance Bolter. They believe he may be trying to flee the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Anti-Trump protests are being held in more than a thousand US towns and cities, including outside his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. No ICE! No KKK! No fascists! USA! in Florida. One of the biggest public displays of opposition to the U.S. president since he returned to power in January.

Later today, the president will host a historic military parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and his birthday. The parade will feature tanks and military equipment parading through the streets of Washington. Israel and Iran continue to trade fire. Israel says its airstrikes targeted Iran's nuclear and energy sector and its air defenses and a state of emergency remains in effect in Israel as Iran threatens more airstrikes tonight. Trent Murray 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 defenses,

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 airstrikes by the

Iranians and the air defense system is doing their best to intercept them. Trent Murray for CBC News, Tel Aviv. Indian government officials have ordered inspections of Air India's entire fleet of Boeing 787s following this week's crash. We also felt that there is a need to do an extended surveillance into the Boeing 787 series. So from the DGCA we have also given an order to do the extended surveillance for the 787 planes.

There are 34 in our Indian aircraft fleet today." The job of identifying the victims, both from the plane and on the ground, continues. With the use of dental records and DNA testing, so far only 11 have been identified. In London. The Trooping the Colour ceremony, officially honouring the King's birthday, and the Royal Family used the event to pay tribute to the victims of this week's Air India crash, wearing black armbands in honour of the lives lost. WestJet says it continues to respond to a cyber security incident affecting its internal

systems and the WestJet app. Law enforcement and Transport Canada are also investigating. They provided few details but advised customers and employees to be extra cautious, especially with sharing personal information. And that's the World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Gina Louise Phillips.
