The World This Hour for 2025/06/16 at 05:00 EDT

I'm Joshua Jackson, and I'm returning for the Audible original series, Oracle, Season 3, Murder at the Grandview. Six forty-somethings took a boat out a few days ago. One of them was found dead. The hotel, the island, something wasn't right about it. Psychic agent Nate Russo is back on the case, and you know when Nate's killer instincts are required, anything's possible.

This world's gonna eat you alive. Listen to Oracle Season 3, Murder at the Grandview, now on Audible. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Mike Miles. The G7 summit begins today in Kenanaskis, Alberta. But ahead of that, Prime Minister Mark Carney will be meeting with US 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. On his way to the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron used a stopover in Greenland to send Trump an unmistakable message. The visit to Nuuk was a major show of solidarity in the face of Trump's threats to annex the Danish territory with military force if necessary. Murray Brewster tells us the French president's tough remarks could make for an uncomfortable

leaders meeting. Emmanuel Macron was given a hero's welcome in Nuuk, Greenland's capital. The island is a territory of Denmark, which US President Donald Trump hopes to acquire one way or another. Ahead of his face-to-face meeting with Trump at the G7 in Cananascus, Macron pushed back forcefully. In a few words, everybody thinks in France, in the European Union, that Greenland is not to be sold, not to be taken. The French Navy has been exercising in waters off Greenland with the task force for the

last several days. Whether Macron's remarks will provoke Trump is an open question. The US president has also said he'd like to make Canada the 51st U.S. state. G7 leaders begin meeting today where issues, including the exchange of missile fire between Israel and Iran, is set to dominate the security discussion. Marie Brewster, 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. At least eight people are reported dead after the latest volley of Iranian missiles rained down on central Israel. Several residential buildings were destroyed or heavily damaged. This man lives in one of the buildings that was hit. When he heard the sirens, he took shelter. And then? We heard a strong bomb and after we go out, after a few minutes we see all the damage, all the houses broken. Hope for good days.

Israel is vowing to step up its attacks on Iran with a conflict now in a fourth day. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the goal is to keep Tehran from building a nuclear bomb. Since then, several scientists and senior intelligence and military officers have been killed. The suspect in the fatal shootings of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband is now in custody. Vance Bolter was captured Sunday after a nearly two-day hunt. Officials are calling the largest in the state's history with more than 100 officers deployed. Brooklyn Park, Minnesota Police Chief Mark Bruehle tells how Bolter was taken down. An alert police officer believed that he may have seen the individual running into the woods and we

started to deploy resources including the Brooklyn Park SWAT team and along with many other SWAT teams to contain an extremely large area knowing that this is a very dangerous individual. Bolter was armed when he was arrested. Several AK-47 assault rifles, a 9mm handgun, a list of names of other public officials and a police-type badge have been found. He's now charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder in the shootings of a state senator and his wife.

The BC Wildfire Service says a major blaze in the province's northeast is stabilized due to a wet weekend, but multiple evacuation orders and alerts issued by the Peace River Regional District due to the Kixcatana River wildfire remain in effect. Close to 22mm of rain dropped in the area helping reduce fire activity, but the roughly 266km2 fire is still out of control. That is your World This Hour.
