The World This Hour for 2025/06/17 at 14:00 EDT

Ten years ago, I asked my partner Kelsey if she would marry me. I did that, despite the fact that every living member of my family who had ever been married had also gotten divorced. Forever is a Long Time is a five-part series in which I talk to those relatives about why they got divorced and why they got married. You can listen to it now on CBC's Personally. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Gina Louise Phillips. US President Donald Trump says killing Iran's supreme leader isn't currently his objective, but one of his goals, he now says, is Iran's unconditional surrender. The rhetoric is a shift from the previous White House position, urging Iran to return

to negotiations on a nuclear deal. Iran and Israel have traded blows since Israel attacked Iranian missile and nuclear sites on Friday. Israeli lawmaker Yuli Edelstein insists his country's actions are strictly defensive. Israel as part of its military operation is not setting the goal of the regime changing or toppling the Iranian regime. If it happens no one will shed a tear but this is not our goal. Our goal is to defend Israel from the threat of nuclear or ballistic attacks from Iran.

Days of fighting have killed 24 Israelis and more than 200 Iranians. Ukraine's president is calling for an emergency UN Security Council meeting. Volodymyr Zelensky is in Cananascus, Alberta for the G7 summit. That's where Prime Minister Mark Carney announced more than $4 billion in new support for Ukraine. Murray Brewster reports. Kiev, bombarded by Russian missiles and drones overnight, and a worried, exhausted Ukrainian president a world away. Ukrainians had, our families had, a very difficult night, one of the biggest attacks from the

very beginning of this war. Vladimir Zelensky is in Cananasis, Alberta with G7 leaders, meeting one-on-one and collectively, pressing for more support and sanctions against Russia. He got both from Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced military aid, a reconstruction loan, and more sanctions, including penalties aimed at Russia's shadow fleet.

To be absolutely clear, this support will be unwavering until we get a just peace for Ukrainian people. The one meeting Zelensky was supposed to have, but won't, was with U.S. President Donald Trump, who left the summit early. Marie Brewster, CBC News, Banff, Alberta. The mother of a missing three-year-old Montreal girl will remain behind bars at least for now. 34-year-old Rachel Ella-Todd made a brief court appearance this morning and was charged with

abandoning a child. She will be in court again tomorrow. Lili-Pravagrevel is the Crown Prosecutor. For now, we don't know what happened to Madame the little girl. For now we have the police officer still investigating so we want to make sure that nothing more tragic is going on. Meantime the search for Claire Bell continues today west of Montreal. Police are focusing on an area where they found the child's dog dead on the side of a highway yesterday. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says masked men tried to steal a vehicle from his home overnight. Ford says police thwarted the attempt. Toronto police confirm officers arrested four people, including two youth. They were charged with possessing

an electronic device for car theft and unlawfully purchasing an automobile master key. A joint investigation by Canada and the UK has found genetic testing company 23andMe failed to take basic steps to protect consumer data. Canada's privacy commissioner, Philippe Dufresne, and his UK counterpart, John Edwards, revealed their findings at a news conference in Ottawa this morning. The breach serves as a cautionary tale for all organizations about the importance of data protection in an era of growing cyber threats. It is particularly relevant at a time when more and more personal information is being

collected, used and shared in a growing digital economy. Hackers gained access to the company's website in 2023 using stolen account credentials. The investigation found the data of 7 million customers was stolen in the breach, including the information of 320,000 Canadians. The UK has issued a $4 million fine against the company. Canada's Privacy Commissioner has no such power under federal law. And that's The World This Hour. For news anytime, you can visit our website cbcnews.ca.
