The Minnesota manhunt for a suspected killer is now over. Vance Bolter was arrested Sunday night. Authorities allege he gunned down the speaker of the state legislature and her husband and wounded a state senator and his wife. All officials say while dressed as a police officer.

The arrest comes just hours after investigators announced a car linked to Bolter had been found and that there was a nationwide warrant for his arrest. The sun is up in Israel this hour in day four of its conflict with Iran and officials are getting a look at the damage from the latest barrage of Iranian missiles. That's sound early Monday in Haifa where Israel's public broadcasters reporting several injuries and an active fire one witness says was at a power plant. And in Tel Aviv, a witness says several residential buildings were also hit.

Medics say at least 29 people have been hospitalized across central Israel in this latest wave. 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 air strikes 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.

Iran answering Israel's assault on its nuclear capabilities and the top ranks of its military leadership. Earlier Netanyahu visited the city of Bat Yam, which was hit by a missile making it past Israel's defenses the night before, killing at least six people and damaging several nearby buildings. In Iran there were also scenes of chaos and death. Israeli attacks on Saturday night hitting the defense ministry and a fuel depot near Tehran that burned through the night.

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 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 Khomeini. The conflict is expected to dominate the G7 summit in Kenanaskis, Alberta. Trump is now in Canada for the conference. He'll meet Monday morning with Prime Minister Mark Carney before the summit begins.

Now, during his flight to Calgary, Trump posted on social media, ordering immigration officers to ramp up deportations of suspected illegal immigrants, telling them they hit major cities led by Democrats, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Raids there led to more than a week of protests Trump used to justify sending in California's National Guard and hundreds of Marines. Saskatchewan's provincial ombudsman says the government failed to properly support and communicate with evacuees during the recent wildfire crisis. Premier Scott Moe has acknowledged bottlenecks in the system but public policy expert Ken Coates says the way government communicates is unacceptable and puts

unnecessary pressure on northern communities. You know we have so many different combinations of cell phones and Facebook pages and internet services and all that kind of stuff. I always get very nervous when community leaders say they don't know who to talk to because obviously somebody's let them down. Coates says a key lesson is to have one single point of contact for evacuees. The Ombudsman says she'll be investigating the government's response once the immediate needs of evacuees are addressed. Buzz Hargrove, a powerful figure in Canadian labor and politics, has died.

Let's get off of some of the chickened arguments we're having in the House of Commons. Let's deal with a real issue. He led the president. He led the Canadian auto workers from 1992 to 2008. Buzz Hargrove was 81 years old. That is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles.
