The World This Hour for 2025/06/18 at 07:00 EDT

I'm Joshua Jackson, and I'm returning for the Audible original series, Oracle, Season 3, Murder at the Grandview. Six forty-somethings took a boat out a few days ago. One of them was found dead. The hotel, the island, something wasn't right about it. Psychic agent Nate Russo is back on the case, and you know when Nate's killer instincts are required, anything's possible.

This world's gonna eat you alive. Listen to Oracle Season 3, Murder at the Grandview, now on Audible. From CBC News, it's the World This Hour. I'm Joe Cummings. Once again, Teyan is under attack. Israeli warplanes bombarding the Iranian capital for a sixth consecutive night. That says US President Donald Trump is calling for Iran's unconditional surrender.

Meanwhile, Russia is closely monitoring the conflict, having recently signed a cooperation agreement with the Iranian government. Briar Stewart has more. It was just in January when Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a strategic cooperation pact with the president of Iran. The agreement outlined areas where the two countries would bolster ties, including defense. Tehran has already supplied Moscow with thousands of Shahed drones for its war The agreement outlined areas where the two countries would bolster ties including defense. Tehran has already supplied Moscow with thousands of Shahed drones for its war in Ukraine,

and it helped Russia set up a factory to mass produce them. But Moscow has been reluctant to supply Iran with the weaponry it wants. The kinds of capabilities that the Iranians really want from Russia. Russia has not given Iran. Hananate is with the James Martin Center for Non-Proliferation Studies. She says there's no evidence that Russia has given Iran the fighter jets it's been asking for or additional air defense systems. She says Russia wants to keep all of its own weapons for its war on Ukraine. And it also doesn't want to damage its relationships with other Middle Eastern countries like the United Arab Emirates.

Briar Stewart, CBC News, London. Incidentally, it's estimated more than 580 people have been killed in Iran over the past six days. In Israel, 24 fatalities are being reported. Six of the G7 leaders and several others from non-member countries discussed Russia's war in Ukraine and the Israel-Iran conflict before the G7 summit wrapped up yesterday in Alberta.

But the G7 membership, minus US President Donald Trump, who left a day early, failed to reach any significant agreements on those and many other top foreign policy issues. Prime Minister Mark Carney and his counterparts from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan were joined for the final sessions by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and NATO Chief Mark Rutte. But the gathered leaders adjourned without offering a joint statement on Ukraine and

only released a modest one on Iran-Israel, reiterating their pursuit of peace and stability in the Middle East. There is still no trace of two young children who went missing in Nova Scotia more than six weeks ago. Police are saying very little about what may have happened to them, other than there is no evidence to suggest they were abducted. Kayla Hounsell has more. I know somebody out there knows where they're at. Belinda Gray is pleading for information about the whereabouts of her grandchildren,

Lily and Jack Sullivan, six and four years old, missing from their rural Nova Scotia home since Friday, May 2nd. It's quite rare in my career. I've never seen two missing children go at the same time. The RCMP's Corporal Guillaume Tromble maintains there is no evidence to suggest the children were abducted. More than 50 people have been interviewed. Gray says her son, the children's biological father, has been questioned three times. A couple of days ago they had contact and they told them that they weren weren't looking his way anymore that everything was fine. She says she doesn't have much hope the children will be found alive and even worries the mystery of what happened to

them may never be solved. Kayla Hounsell CBC News lands down station Nova Scotia. Now to Florida. On dynasty's doorstep, the Florida Panthers back to back, Stanley Cup champions. That's the final call. The Stanley Cup will be staying in Florida for another year after the Panthers last night defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in game 6 of the Stanley Cup final. The Panthers take the best of seven four games to two and successfully defend their Stanley Cup championship beating the Oilers for a second year in a row. And that is the World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
