But an hour before the proceedings get underway, Carney will be sitting down for a one-on-one meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. It's expected the meeting will deal primarily with security and tariff issues, along with the ongoing talks underway between Ottawa and Washington on reshaping the Canada-U.S. trading relationship.

And while trade issues will make up a significant portion of the G7 agenda, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran is also a top priority. This has the Israeli military as reporting it hit more than 20 targets in Iran overnight, killing four senior Iranian intelligence officials. 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 Gomancing has the latest now from Jerusalem.

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.

With Alberta in the midst of an ongoing measles outbreak, medical officials in the province are saying it could signal that other infectious diseases could soon reemerge. Dr. Stephanie Smith is an infectious disease specialist. We worry about seeing resurgence of things like polio that we really haven't had for a long time.
