The World This Hour for 2025/07/10 at 00:00 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, the world this hour. I'm Neil Herland. We begin with a developing story out of Quadville, Ontario, about two hours west of Ottawa. The Ontario Provincial Police are charging a 17-year-old male with attempted murder and

sexual assault with a weapon. It's in connection to an attack on a child that happened in June. Nicole Williams reports. For the last two weeks, police have told the community they suspected this little girl had been attacked by an animal after she had gone missing after a day of playing with friends. Now they have charged a teenage male, 17 years old, with attempted murder and sexual assault using a weapon on a person under 16 years old.

This is a very shocking turn of events because police have only ever focused their investigation on an animal attack. But that did include forensic testing. And the results of that now show there was no animal DNA to be found in the little girl's wounds. Police aren't sharing the name of this teenager because he is a minor, but we do know he is in custody and expected to appear in court at a later date. Nicole Williams, CBC News, Ottawa. There are new recommendations to ensure the safety of outdoor events in British Columbia. They come in the wake of the deadly car ramming attack at a Filipino festival in Vancouver earlier this year.

Liam Britton reports. A car driving through a crowd at the Lapu Lapu Day festival killed 11 and injured dozens. A tragedy that rocked the city and beyond. In BC thousands of public events are held without issue. The retired judges report has ideas to make them safer like a province-wide hub for safety planning and grants for security. B.C. community safety minister Terry Young. We accept the intent of the recommendations and we're working through them to determine

how best we can implement them. Questions about the mental health of the accused in the Lapu-Lapu tragedy have swirled. Opposition Solicitor General critic Ele Sturco says that must be addressed. So without going through a review and and understanding more about how we can better support people with severe mental illness I think that we'll continue to have issues with violence. A BC court will consider whether the accused is fit to stand trial later this month. Liam Britton, CBC News, Vancouver. Search teams continue to look for victims of last week's flash flooding in central Texas. Captain Jason Waldrop is with the Kerr County Sheriff's Office.

So these areas are where a lot of this debris is bottlenecked, so it's a lot of large trees, it's a lot of the vehicles, it's a lot of home structures have built up in these areas. So we are using very heavy equipment, excavators, skid loaders, to remove this mineral and do a deep impact search of where this is." 119 people are confirmed dead, including at least 36 children. More than 170 people are listed as missing. Well, it's the end of an era on Parliament Hill. The last surviving feline from a historic cat sanctuary has died. Olivia Stefanovich has more. I remember Americans saying, geez, we couldn't possibly have that on the hill in Washington.

It was beloved by visitors and politicians. A colony of stray cats prowling the grounds of Parliament Hill. Or should we say, Parliament Hill, fed and we say, Per-le-ment Hill, fed and cared for by volunteers like Danny Torozzi. They were photographed thousands of times. When the Parliamentary cat sanctuary shut down in 2013, Torozzi adopted one of the last surviving felines. With jet black fur and bright green eyes,

Cole became a social media sensation. He even ran for prime minister in 2015. But in the past year, Cole battled an aggressive cancer. Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of Canadians, more than $15,000 was raised to cover the costly medical bills until he was laid to rest on Wednesday at the age of 17. Olivia Stefanovic, CBC News, Ottawa. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Herland.
