Ontario Provincial Police have charged a teenager in connection with an attack on a child. An eight-year-old girl had been missing for hours last month. She was found with life-threatening injuries. It happened in the rural community of Quantville, west of Ottawa. As Nicole Williams reports, police initially had a different explanation.

For the last two weeks, police have told the community that 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 showed there was no animal DNA to be

found in the little girl's wounds. For the last two weeks a lot of people have been living in fear because police have actively warned people to keep their children inside or under close watch and there's been lots of questions about why they need to do that because there's been no information on what kind of animal this could have been. It looks like they will get some answers at a town hall on Saturday when that's hosted by Ontario Provincial Police. And we do have an update on the little girl. A community member was able to see her, says she's doing extremely well.

Nicole Williams, CBC News, Ottawa. European and business leaders are meeting in Rome to talk about Ukraine. The Ukraine Recovery Conference is focused on that country's long-term rebuilding. The summit comes as Russia launched another attack for the third straight night. Dominik Volaitis has more. The primary target of this latest attack was the capital, Kiev.

Ukrainian officials say Russia launched 18 missiles and around 400 drones at the city in the early hours of this morning. At least two people were killed and 16 others injured. Twenty-five-year-old Karina Vulf managed to escape her home just before it was hit. KARINA VULF, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Ukraine Just the moment after I had run away, I turned back and saw that my apartment was gone, she says.

This is terror. It's happening every night while people are sleeping and most people are in their apartments, in their beds. How to protect the country's airspace will likely be on the agenda of this year's Ukraine Recovery Conference, which opened this morning in Rome. President Volodymyr Zelensky used his time at the podium to condemn Russia's latest aerial attack.

As Ukrainians deal with the aftermath of another Russian aerial bombardment, President Volodymyr Zelensky is using today's conference to plead for a greater use of Russian frozen assets to protect Ukraine now and help rebuild its war-ravaged economy in future. Dominic Vleitus for CBC News, Riga, Latvia. Blasts from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza this morning.

The military says it was targeting Hamas militants who emerged from tunnels to attack Israeli soldiers. The violence goes on as ceasefire talks continue in Qatar. Negotiators say there is no breakthrough, but US President Donald Trump says he is hopeful a deal will be struck in the next week or so. A new report on improving safety at British Columbia's public events is laying out several recommendations. It was commissioned after an alleged attack on a Vancouver Filipino Street Festival in April. As Katie DeRosa reports, not all of the recommendations are being well received. It's one of the darkest days for Vancouverites. BC Community Safety Minister Terry Young says 10 weeks after a car rammed into a crowd at

the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival in April, the community is still reeling. Eleven people died and dozens were injured. BC's premier commissioned a report to look into how to prevent similar tragedies. The report includes six recommendations for improving safety at large events, including a province-wide hub for safety planning and provincial funding for enhanced security. Joey Kwan organizes Vancouver's Chinatown Festival, which is expected to attract thousands this weekend. This is the six crucial points for entrance to the festival.

She welcomes the recommendations, but says beefing up security is expensive. CBC News asked Young how soon that provincial funding will be available. It's a good question. It's hard to really predict what's coming up. The report did not look into any security lapses at the Lapu Lapu Festival itself, since its author, retired justice Christopher Hinkson, says that's the subject of an ongoing criminal matter. BC conservative public safety critic Eleanor Sturco says the report offers only band-aid

solutions. We seem to be in this pattern of always trying to fortify society. So for example, putting extra ballers in place at things like festivals, which would be important, but never addressing the underlying issue, which is mental illness. The accused in this case, Adam Kaiji Lo, was under the care of a mental health team at the time. Katie DeRosa, CBC News, Victoria.

at the time. Katie DeRosa, CBC News, Victoria. Crowds gathered in a high school football stadium in Kerrville, Texas to sing and pray and support one another. Residents held an evening prayer service for the victims of last week's floods. Kerrville was devastated. There are now more than 120 confirmed deaths from the flash floods. At least 170 others are still missing. Donald Trump says his 50% tariff on all copper entering the United States will go into effect on August 1st. The US president confirmed the date on social media late last night. The CBC Sam Sampson is on this story for us from Washington. And Sam, what more is Trump saying? Well, Trump says the decision was made after a robust national security assessment, and that may be referring to a Section 232 investigation, which is meant

to determine if imports are threatening to impair national security in the U. Trump has already imposed tariffs under section 232 on steel, aluminum and autos. A copper tariff would be another blow to Canada. According to federal data, Canada sold about half of its exported $9.3 billion worth of copper to the US in 2023. Now, most of Canada's copper comes from BC, but that province says it sells mostly to Asian countries, leaving other provinces that produce copper, like Quebec, to potentially be hardest hit. Canada's Minister of Industry, Melanie Jolie, says everyone is keeping a close watch on these tariffs, but Ottawa would not make a direct statement on copper until they see

an executive order from Trump. We will let the Prime Minister do the negotiation, supported of course by our negotiator in chief back in Washington, Kirsten Holman, and we will not negotiate in public. There are other tariffs causing major rifts, Sam. Tell us about Brazil. Yes, Donald Trump is slapping a 50% tariff on Brazil for its treatment of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Now Bolsonaro is facing trial for attempting a coup after he lost the most recent election.

And Trump calls these proceedings a witch hunt and that the tariffs are needed to, quote, rectify the grave injustices of the current regime. Now, if this sounds familiar, it's because Trump late last month called a corruption trial against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a witch hunt, and called for the trial to be canceled. Days later, upcoming hearings were canceled. The court's accepting a classified request from Netanyahu on diplomatic and security grounds. Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, says his country will hit back with reciprocal tariffs and that the trial against Bolsonaro is the responsibility

of Brazil. All right. Thank you, Sam. Thank you. The CBC Sam Sampson reporting from Washington. Canadians seem to be resolute in avoiding travel to the U.S. Statistics Canada has released its report for June on cross-border travel. It shows both air and road trips to the US are down.

The decrease for flights is just over 22% from the same time last year. Road trips have declined just over 33% year over year. The drop appears to be linked in part to US President Donald Trump's trade war on Canada and his musing about annexing Canada. Dundas Ontario's Caribou, one of the favorites to make the Polaris Music Prize shortlist. It will be announced later today. Caribou's latest album, Honey, is one of the 40 on the long list. Caribou is no stranger to the Polaris Prize. His album, Andorra, won in 2008. And that is the latest national and international news from World Report.
