The World This Hour for 2025/01/30 at 11:00 EST

When a body is discovered 10 miles out to sea, it sparks a mind-blowing police investigation. There's a man living in this address in the name of a deceased. He's one of the most wanted men in the world. This isn't really happening. Officers are finding large sums of money. It's a tale of murder, skullduggery and international intrigue. So who really is he? I'm Sam Mullins and this is Sea of Lies from CBC's Uncovered, available now.

From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. Emergency response teams remain on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., following last night's midair collision between a passenger plane and a military helicopter. At this point, we don't believe there are any survivors from this accident, and we have recovered 27 people from the plane and one from the helicopter. As D.C. Fire Chief John Donnelly, in total, 64 people were aboard the American Airlines passenger flight, which originated in Wichita, Kansas.

Three people were aboard the helicopter. Both aircraft plunged into the river following the collision. Just prior to the accident, the plane was preparing to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport. And as we hear now from John Northcott, it's an airport that can be difficult to navigate.

You're watching so many different things, thinking about so many different things, trying to line up for that runway. If the helicopter's not staying out of the way, which it's responsible for doing,

this can very easily happen. In other words, it is the responsibility of the smaller, more nimble aircraft to avoid collision. John Northcott, CBC News, Toronto. Among the passengers on the flight were 14 people returning from the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita. Six are from a skating club outside Boston. The club says two of the members were teenagers.

In Gaza today, Hamas has freed another eight hostages. At the same time, 110 Palestinian prisoners are also scheduled to be released. This is now the third exchange agreed to in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, which went into effect earlier this month. Canada continues to seek clarity on the tariff threats issued by the Trump administration.

And heading up that effort is Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Jolie, who was in Washington meeting again today with senior Republicans and senior members of the Trump administration. Katie Simpson reports. I'm cautiously optimistic. Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Jolie says there is plenty of work still to be done to try to convince Donald Trump to change his mind about tariffs. She met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and left that meeting without any certainty about whether Trump's mind is made up for sure. This is just the reality of dealing with the Trump administration.

Trump has threatened to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico as early as Saturday. His administration is also mulling broader tariffs later this spring as it looks to reshape the trade relationship. To fight the immediate threat, Jolie and others have been highlighting Canada's billion-dollar border security proposal. We are now not only talking about our plan but we're talking about the impacts of the outcomes of our plan. Sources also tell CBC News Canada produced a video highlighting arrests and border enforcement operations hoping Trump gets his eyes on it and that it resonates. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. Canada's chief public health officer is saying she's concerned about a growing number of

measles cases in both Ontario and Quebec. Dr. Theresa Tam says the majority of the reported infections are among patients who are unvaccinated, the majority being children. She says among those recently infected, it appears they were all exposed in Canada rather than from international travel. A fundraiser is being held today in Inglewood for the victims of the LA fires. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are among the performers on the bill with the goal being to raise money and organize aid for the thousands of people who have lost their homes or their businesses

or in some cases both. Also performing tonight Lady Gaga, No Doubt and Canadian, Alanis Morissette. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
