From CBC News, it's the World This Hour. I'm Joe Cummings. With Prime Minister Mark Carney serving as host, the Group of Seven Leaders Summit opens

today in Cananascus, Alberta. And an hour before the official meetings get underway, Carney will be sitting down for a one-on-one meeting with the U.S. President Donald Trump. It's expected the meeting will deal primarily with trade and tariff issues and the ongoing talks underway between Ottawa and Washington on reshaping the existing Canada-U.S. trading agreement known as KUSMA. Meanwhile, on his way to the G7 summit, Trump posted on social media that he's ordering immigration officers in his country to start targeting Democrat-led cities

as they ramp up their deportation of suspected illegal immigrants. Most Democratic-led cities include, among others, New York and Chicago. While trade issues will make up a significant portion of the G7 agenda, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran is also a priority. The Israeli military is reporting it hit more than 20 targets in Iran overnight, killing four senior Iranian intelligence officers. At the same time, Iran launched a new wave of missile strikes on Israel. Tel Aviv and Haifa were the primary targets, with at least five deaths being reported.

And now foreign analysts are suggesting that Israel's ultimate goal in Iran may be regime change. Crystal Gamansing has the latest now from Jerusalem. Rescuers combed through the rubble of a high rise blown open. The central district city of Pedka Tikva, the latest to feel the wrath of Iran. Continued barrages are affecting Israel's ability to intercept all of the incoming missiles. The first plan was absolutely not regime change. Yona Jeremy Bob, an Israeli journalist, says with more Israelis being killed, the calculus for

removing Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has changed. Now Netanyahu is definitely considering killing Khamenei, but that could lead to a longer conflict, that could lead to all kinds of unpredictable scenarios. Israel so far has focused its attacks on nuclear sites, scientists, weapons facilities, and military leadership. Iran, meanwhile, has instructed Israelis to leave areas of vital interest for their own safety. Crystal Gamansing, CBC News, Jerusalem.

After a statewide manhunt in Minnesota, the suspect, and what police are calling two politically motivated murders, is now in custody. Vance Bolter is accused of murdering the state's former Democratic House Speaker and her husband. Bolter is also accused of attempting to kill a state senator and his wife. Steve Futterman reports. After a two-day manhunt, law enforcement have apprehended Vance Bolter. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made the announcement. Bolter was arrested after being surrounded by police in a largely rural area. Jeremy Geiger is with the Minnesota State Patrol.

The suspect crawled to law enforcement teams. There was no use of force. The key break came earlier in the day near the small town of Green Isle around 70 kilometers from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, where the killings took place. Mark Brule is the Brooklyn Park police chief, a vehicle that we believe that he was in was spotted many hours before and had been abandoned. An alert police officer believed that he may have seen the individual running into the woods. For the moment, officials are confident the suspect acted alone.

Drew Evans with the State Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. We will be exploring if there are any broader network. We have not uncovered any of that at this time. Police say the manhunt for Bolter was the largest in state history. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles. Repeating our top story with Prime Minister Mark Carney serving as host, the Group of Seven G7 Summit opens today in Cananaskis, Alberta. And an hour before the official proceedings get underway, Carney will be sitting down for

a one-on-one meeting with the U.S. President Donald Trump. And that is The World This Hour. For news anytime, go to our website website cbcnews.ca. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
