Hugh is a rock climber, a white supremacist, a Jewish neo-Nazi, a spam king, a crypto-billionaire, and then someone killed him. It is truly a mystery. It is truly a case of who done it. Dirtbag Climber, the story of the murder and the many lives of Jesse James. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. Six people are dead after two gunmen opened fire today on a bus stop in Jerusalem.

Police say the attackers who have yet to be identified were shot and killed on the scene. The shooting took place at a major intersection on a road that leads to Jewish settlements located in East. Jerusalem. Here is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That's Netanyahu saying the murders do not weaken us. They only strengthen our determination. There's been no claim of responsibility at this point, but Hamas has praised the gunman, saying their actions are, quote, a natural response to the occupation's crimes against our people. Now to Washington, where U.S. President Donald Trump is

considering a new round of sanctions against Russia in the wake of this weekend stepped up bombing campaign on Kyiv. Willie Lowry has more. President Donald Trump has been reluctant to use sanctions as a way to get Russia to end its war of aggression in Ukraine, but this weekend's massive barrage of drone and missile attacks, which damaged the main government building in Kiev,

may have changed that. I'm not happy. I'm not happy about the whole situation. I'm not happy with anything having to do with that war. Now, what the sanctions might look like, very unclear. And the Kremlin defiant. It says no amount of sanctions will get it to change course in Ukraine. The U.S. President said he expected several European leaders to head to Washington as early as today or Tuesday. We know that EU sanctions envoy David O'Sullivan is already here.

O'Sullivan and his team are expected to meet with U.S. officials to discuss sanctions. But just a few weeks ago, leaders from several countries, including France, Germany and the UK, met with Trump at the White House. It didn't really move the needle, and the war has only intensified. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. An editorial published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal is calling for strict federal regulations to govern sports betting ads. It says as gambling ads now dominate sports broadcasts, the constant exposure to gambling messages normalizes harmful behavior that young people can carry into adulthood. We're expecting the Alberta government to release its revised book ban list

today. Earlier this month, Edmonton's public school board issued a list of 200 books that it said it would have to be removed from libraries to comply with the government's initial order. That list included Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Premier Daniel Smith says the order is being changed now to target books only with inappropriate sexual content. The extreme devastation caused by the recent flooding throughout northern India and Pakistan has support groups here in Canada scrambling to get aid into the region. Thousands of villages have been destroyed across the hardest-ed areas with more than two million people displaced. Isher Bargava reports. This kind of destruction we never see. Narenda Singh Walia says he's shocked by the calamity that

has struck Punjab. The head of the Gurunanak Food Bank in B.C. has helped with flood relief in several parts of India over the years. But this time, he says the damage is beyond imagination. They have no house, they have no farm, they have no food, you know, nothing. There was at least eight feet, nine feet water in the village. Intense monsoon rains and heavy flooding in recent weeks have submerged villages, killing hundreds and leaving millions stranded. Berlad Kohli is founder of Nishcam Canada, based in Brampton, Ontario.

He says the loss of livestock and crops has shaken the region, which heavily relies on farming. Those type of losses are difficult to, you know, here. And they will have really a problem once everything goes down. Even managing their home, managing their expenses, it's going to be a lot. Isha Bargava, CBC News, Toronto.
