The meeting comes as a number of foreign policy issues make up today's agenda. Away from the summit table, Carney will also be talking today with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum. U.S. President Donald Trump is absent following his early departure last night. Trump has indicated he left the summit to deal with the ongoing conflict between Israel

and Iran, where the exchange of missile and drone fire continues. Hannah Cunningham has the latest. Air raid sirens and interceptions over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv this morning. Iran's Revolutionary Guards warning it will intensify attacks with missiles and drones on Israel in the coming hours. Overnight, its attacks on Israel were less intense than previous nights.

The military says it has killed another senior Iranian military commander in a targeted strike

in central Tehran. Ali Shadmany, who was close to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was only appointed last week after Israel killed his predecessor. Iran is yet to confirm the death. Israel says overnight it launched extensive strikes on Iran, targeting missile and drone sites in the West. In the capital Tehran people are trying to leave long lines of vehicles seen snaking out of the city. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. Still with the Middle East at least 50 people were killed overnight in southern Gaza.

Gaza. It was a scene at Nasser Hospital in Hanunas amid reports that Israeli tanks had opened fire on a crowd waiting for emergency aid. Along with the dead, as many as 200 people are injured, some are in critical condition. At this point, the Israeli military has yet to comment. U.S. President Trump is suggesting that he will likely extend a deadline for TikTok's Chinese owner to sell the popular video sharing app. Trump had signed an order in early April to keep TikTok running for another 75 days after a potential deal to sell the app to American owners was put on ice.

Changes could be made to the way Canada could be made to Canada's cancer screening guidelines. The national body responsible is making some new recommendations amid concern that current advice may be outdated. Marina Van Stalkenberg explains. Canada's national guidelines only recommend routine screening for women 50 years old and up. The recommendations come from the Task Force on Preventive Health Care. The federal Arms Length Panel issues guidelines for family doctors. It gives advice on when to send their patients for routine screenings, including for common

cancers. But the panel's work was suspended and a review ordered after it continued to recommend breast cancer screening only start at age 50. That went against expert advice and emerging research that women are being diagnosed with the disease at a younger age. And those cancer screenings translate into survival. For years advocates like family doctor Anna Wilkinson have criticized the guidelines. Wilkinson applauds the review recommendations which call on the task force to streamline and speed up its guideline updates, ensure experts are consulted and

be more accountable and transparent. Marina von Stackelberg, CBC News, Ottawa. Florida Panthers can win the Stanley Cup tonight. They're at home for game six of the final with a three games to two lead over the Edmonton Oilers and while Edmonton may be on thin ice back at home they have an entire country pulling for them. Just rooting for whoever can win the Cup for us. It would be amazing to see everybody bond and come together as a country. Hockey is really Canada's game and it's important that we are able to use this chance to get behind them and be united as a country. If the Oilers do win tonight, they'll force a game seven that will be played in Edmonton Friday night.

And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
