We begin in Minnesota where the hunt for a suspected killer ended Sunday night. Vance Bolter was taken into custody. He's accused of killing lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and wounding state senator John Hoffman and his wife. Authorities allege Bolter was dressed as a police officer. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made this promise to Hortman's family. To Melissa and Mark's family, cannot fathom your pain and the grief that you're going through. We'll take solace in the memory and the work that Melissa did, and you can rest assured that we will put every ounce of effort that the state of Minnesota

has to make sure that justice is served and the individual responsible for this serves the time for the unspeakable act. State grieves with you. Bolter faces two charges of murder and two charges of attempted murder. A foster has found at least three AK-47 assault rifles, a nine-millimeter handgun, a list of names and addresses of other public officials, as well as a police-type badge. The G7 summit begins Monday in Kennanaskis, Alberta, but ahead of that, Prime Minister Mark Carney will be meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. They're expected to discuss issues like border security, tariffs and trade deals. Sunday night Trump was asked if he's expecting any new agreements.

Look, we have our trade deals. All we have to do is send a letter, this is what you're going to have to pay. But I think we'll have a few new trade deals, yeah. Trump also said he hoped Israel and Iran would be able to reach a ceasefire. That conflict is now into its fourth day. Carney has been meeting with other world leaders who've arrived for the conference. Karina Roman has more. The stakes are high for Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney playing host amidst a global trade war instigated by US President Donald Trump, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine,

the conflict in Gaza, and now Iran and Israel exchanging missiles. Carney has already tried to temper expectations. There will be no overall joint communique and hopes have dimmed for a trade and security deal between Canada and the U.S. coming out of this summit. Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says it's unpredictable. All of a sudden this can start moving in a way that perhaps we didn't see. So if on Sunday it looks like there's no agreement, Monday night can suddenly be an agreement and if we think we made progress two weeks

ago, well two weeks later we haven't got the agreement we want. Carina Roman, CBC News, Banff, Alberta. A private plane breached the restricted airspace over Kenanaskis Sunday that had the Royal Canadian Air Force scrambling CF-18s to intercept the interloper. They tried repeatedly to get the pilot's attention before they escorted him to land. Airspace over Kenanaskis and part of Calgary is off limits to private aircraft until Tuesday night after the G7 summit ends. 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 with this update. 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 rites. 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.
