From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Gavin Day. Donald Trump's absence was noticeable as the G7 summit wrapped up in Alberta, the US president leaving Cananascis early

to address the situation in the Middle East. But before he left, he and Canada's prime minister did appear to make progress in resolving the ongoing trade war. Mark Carney spoke about the plan to reach a new deal in the next 30 days as the summit wrapped up. Marina von Stackelberg has more. Quite often in negotiations, having a form of deadline is helpful to concentrate the mind. Mark Carney won't say whose idea it was to put a deadline on a new trade deal between Canada and the U.S.

The Prime Minister and President Donald Trump met on the sidelines of the G7. They agreed to speed up talks and reach a deal within 30 days. Trump says tariffs are simple. He calls Carney's proposal to end the dispute complex. What have you pitched that's complex? Complexity is in the eye of the beholder sometimes. The government of Canada is going to agree only to those things that are fundamentally in the interest of Canada.

So far, Canada has not retaliated against the latest US tariffs on aluminum and steel. Carney has said because negotiations have been progressing. Marina von Stackelberg, CBC News, Ottawa. Air raid sirens in the northern Israeli city of Haifa. Cities across Israel bracing for more missiles from Iran. The two sides are exchanging strikes into a sixth day. This is US President Donald Trump calls for Iran's unconditional surrender, while also

hinting the US may join in the fighting. And as the US decides where it goes next, people in Iran and Israel are trying to stay safe. Explosions have disrupted life in both countries for five days now. At least 24 people have been killed in Iranian strikes. And Iran says Israel's attacks have killed more than 200 residents. Margaret Evans reports. Israel's war with Iran is no longer hidden in the shadows that once contained it, but out in

the open, powerful enough to empty out Tel Aviv's beaches while the threat of Iranian missiles remains. Most Israelis consider Iran an existential threat committed to destroying the Jewish state, but not everyone favors the government's method. Yair Golan is an opposition leader out viewing damage left by an Iranian missile strike on Monday. We have a very clear mission to diminish the nuclear military capability of Iran. Analysts say Israel shouldn't count on the Iranian people to rise up and topple their

own regime. Renat Mansour's with the London-based think tank Chatham House. When you have a missile directed at you and your family, do you say, yes, please bomb us if this means a democracy and a better life? Margaret Evans, CBC News, Jerusalem. The mother of a missing three-year-old Montreal girl will remain behind bars, at least for now. 34-year-old Rachel Ella Todd will be in court again Wednesday.

Lelit Provost Gravel 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 west of Montreal. Police are focusing on an area where they found the child's dog dead on the side of a highway Monday. On dynasty's doorstep, the Florida Panthers back to back, Stanley Cup champions. As seen on CBC and Sportsnet, the Stanley Cup will call Florida home for another year.

The Panthers beating the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in game six of the Stanley Cup Finals. They take the series four games to two and successfully defend their Stanley Cup champion, beating the Oilers for the second final in a row. That means the cup drought will continue for Canadian teams, the 1993 Montreal Canadians, the last Canadian franchise to win the cup. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Gavin Day.
