We begin in Los Angeles where a curfew took effect seconds ago, but police didn't wait to disperse protesters. Tear gas canisters hit the ground hours before that curfew. Demonstrators have been gathering for more than a week, initially over raids looking

for illegal immigrants, but then over the Trump administration's move to send in the military to control the protests. On top of that, demonstrators are also angry about the U.S. president's military parade Saturday in Washington. Steve Futterman is on the scene of the LA protests. Around two, three hundred people have gathered. It's sort of a standoff right now between police and the protesters. You may hear some flash bangs in the background. Those are those non-lethal explosive devices that they try to disperse the crowd with. Now a dispersal order has been issued by police so at any moment they could decide to move in and maybe make arrests or they would primarily just try

to force this crowd backwards and have them go in different directions. Everything has been peaceful for the most part so far. Throughout the nation we've seen similar showings. A lot of it has to do with getting publicity. They want people to see this around the nation. They want to build up momentum against Donald Trump, the no-kings movement. They view Donald Trump as a king. They feel that he has gone beyond his presidential powers. I don't like how he's destroying rule of law. It's all eroding away to some king's whims. And I think that's pretty much the mood of most people who've been attending the no kings rally here in Los Angeles. Steve Futterman reporting. And in Washington, Trump presided over a display of American military might.

The U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade happened Saturday night, featuring 7,000 troops, 150 vehicles, and 50 aircraft. Trump paid this tribute. The U.S. Army has driven bayonets into the heart of sinister empires, crushed the ambitions of evil tyrants beneath the threads of American tanks. It's done so well, it's done so much and sent the devil himself flying into full retreat. The event coincided with Trump's 79th birthday. A massive manhunt is underway in Minnesota after two Democratic state lawmakers were targeted in what officials are calling a politically motivated attack. Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed, and State Senator

John Hoffman and his wife were shot and wounded. Tony Waterman has more. Authorities have identified the suspect as 57-year-old Vance Bolter, who they say was impersonating a police officer at the time of the shooting. Police engaged in a shootout with the suspect at the home of Representative Melissa Hortman before he fled on foot, leaving behind his vehicle. A manifesto was found inside, which included a hit list of other Democratic lawmakers. Those individuals have been notified and are now receiving protection. President Donald Trump says he is monitoring the situation and that violence like this

has no place in America. Police are still investigating a motive for the shootings, but it comes at a time of heightened tensions in the country, with millions taking to the streets protesting President Trump's policies and what they see as an erosion of democracy. Tony Waterman for CBC News, Washington. In London... The tripping of the color ceremony officially honoring 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 honor of the lives lost. One Canadian and one permanent resident were among the victims. In the Stanley Cup final, the Edmonton Oilers got their skids greased Saturday night by the Florida Panthers, falling 5-2 in front of a hometown crowd. Florida now has a 3-2 series lead.
