The ocean is vast, beautiful, and lawless. I'm Ian Urbina back with an all new season of The Outlaw Ocean. The stories we bring you this season are literally life or death. We look into the shocking prevalence of forced labor, mine boggling overfishing, migrants hunted and captured. The Outlaw Ocean takes you where others won't. Available on CBC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, it's the World This Hour.

I'm Joe Cummings. Ahead of the opening of the G7 Summit in Ganonascos, Alberta, Prime Minister Mark Carney is meeting this hour with U.S. President Donald Trump. Our primary focus will be trade and trade with Canada, and I'm sure we can work something out. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. As President Trump and Prime Minister Carney taking questions from the media in the middle

of their scheduled meeting, Trump acknowledges there are multiple issues to discuss at the summit, but he says trade will be the priority. The summit proceedings, with all the leaders at the table, are set to officially get underway later this hour. Once the summit does get started, high on the priority list is the latest from the Middle East. This, as Israel is warning thousands of people across Tehran to leave the capital as soon as possible. The warning comes as Israel says it is preparing to expand its bombardment of Iran, which over the

past four days has claimed hundreds of lives. Iran is returning fire and casualties are also rising in Israel. Trent Murray has the latest now from Tel Aviv. Israel's military estimates that Iran has fired 350 ballistic missiles at Israel since Friday, the latest coming in a pre-dawn salvo early Monday. Homes and apartment blocks were hit in the port city of Haifa, as well as the eastern suburbs of Tel Aviv, where Israel's President Isaac Herzog inspected the damage. It's evil, pure evil in and of itself. Aimed at innocent civilians.

Eight people were killed overnight in Israel, bringing the total number of casualties to 24 since the IDF launched its attacks on Iran on Friday. Israel's government says it's targeting the country's nuclear program to stop Tehran building a nuclear weapon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israeli forces are now in full control of the skies over Tehran. With most of Iran's missile attacks taking place after dark, Israelis are being asked once again to have a plan in place to reach their nearest shelter. Trent Murray for CBC News, Tel Aviv. An Air India flight bound for New Delhi has been forced to return to Hong Kong after a suspected mid-air technical issue.

The plane is a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. That's the same model involved in last week's crash in Western India. At least 270 people were killed, including one Canadian. The Indian government says Air India's entire fleet of Dreamliners is being inspected. The cause of the crash has yet to be determined. Following a two-day manhunt in Minnesota, the suspect wanted in the murders of a Democratic state representative and her husband is now in custody. Here is Governor Tim Walz. Law enforcement have apprehended Vance Bolter. That's 48 hours that law enforcement involved in a complex and dangerous manhunt.

Spent Father's Day away from their families to deliver justice for Melissa and Mark Hortman. Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also shot inside their home early Saturday morning. They both survived. Police say they found a manifesto inside the suspect's vehicle. It includes the names of several politicians and government officials. The town of St. Mary's, Newfoundland is celebrating some long-awaited good news. The province has announced it will be footing the bill to clean up a defunct and very smelly fish sauce factory. It's going to be a life change for my family and my kids will be able to come and we'll be able to sit down in the summertime, have a barbecue and enjoy our life. That is St. Mary's resident, Muriel Whelan. The factory containing hundreds of thousands of liters of rotting liquid was abandoned decades ago. The mayor of St. Mary's says he nearly broke down in tears when he got the good news.

The town has been told the cleanup should be complete at some point in mid-August. And that is the World This Hour. You can listen to us wherever you get your podcasts.
