He's expected to land in Calgary within the next few hours for the G7 summit. Trump will meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney Monday morning before the summit meetings begin, overshadowing the conference, the conflict between Iran and Israel. On his way out of the White House, Trump was asked if there will be a ceasefire. Well, I hope there's going to be a deal.

I think it's time for a deal and we'll see what happens. But sometimes they have to fight it out, but we're going to see what happens. I think there's a good chance there'll be a deal. Trump wouldn't say whether he asked Israel to stop bombing Iran, but the Associated Press is reporting that Trump did veto an Israeli plan to kill Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The continued fighting is becoming more and more deadly. Israel says Iranian missile strikes have killed 14 people since Friday, while the number of people killed in Iran by Israel's airstrikes has topped 200.

Margaret Evans has more. In Israel, a third night filled with the howl of air raid sirens, followed by incoming Iranian missiles and Israeli air defenses springing to life in the skies above Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa, where there was a hit of some kind.

Buzz Hargrove, a powerful figure in Canadian labor and politics, has died. Starting on the shop floor at a plant in Windsor, Hargrove went on to become the president of the Canadian autoworkers from 1992 to 2008, leading members through lockouts, strikes, and tough negotiations. Hargrove was 81 years old. The families of many of the victims in last week's Air India crash are still waiting for their loved ones to be identified. The London-bound flight went down moments after takeoff, killing more than 270 people on the plane and on the ground.

Salima Shivji has the latest. A coffin covered with flowers is held high as relatives carry it down a crowded street, taking one of the victims of Air India Flight 171 for last rights. The bodies of the plane crash victims are slowly being released after DNA tests confirm a match to surviving relatives. The investigation into the plane's final moments that brought it crashing to the ground continues. The focus is on analyzing the flight's data recorder retrieved on Friday. Specialized teams have also now found the cockpit voice recorder,

which would have captured the entire conversation between the pilots. As investigators picked through the wreckage this weekend, authorities confirmed the pilot's final call was May Day, May Day, May Day. Local media is reporting he also said, thrust not achieved, falling before all communication was lost. Salima Shivji, CBC News, Ahmedabad, India. A few rainy days have brought relief to parts of Saskatchewan that have been threatened by wildfires, but it doesn't mean those areas are out of danger. Experts say there's a good chance the

rest of the summer will be hot and dry. Mike Flanagan is professor of wildland fire at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC. I'm afraid that some of these fires will burn through the summer and fall and it will be winter that puts out most of these fires. And in fact, sometimes fires can burn right through the winter. We call them overwintering fires. Flanagan says rain doesn't always help because it's sometimes accompanied by lightning which can spark new fires. That is your World This Hour.
