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, the world is our. I'm Tom Harrington. We begin in Washington. There are a lot of people hurting today. We will help find out what happened. We will do it factually and we will do it accurately. Todd Inman from the National Transportation Safety Board promising to release a preliminary report on last night's crash within 30 days.

An American Airlines passenger jet and a Blackhawk military helicopter collided near Ronald Reagan National Airport. None of the 67 people involved survived. The NTSB says the data flight and voice recorders still need to be recovered. The agency's chair is Jennifer Homendy. We need to take our time to make sure it is accurate. That's best for you. That's important for the families.

It's important for legislators who are seeking answers. Earlier at a White House news conference. The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities. Without providing evidence, President Donald Trump blamed previous democratic administrations, claiming diversity and inclusion programs lowered the standards for air traffic controllers. The RCMP has unveiled one of two newly charted Blackhawk helicopters. They'll be used to beef up border security in the wake of President Trump's tariff threats. One of the Blackhawks is already being used in Alberta.

The other will monitor the Quebec border. Sergeant Charles Poirier is an RCMP spokesperson. This helicopter will afford us more flexibility in terms of intervention and operation. We'll be able to respond more rapidly to any situation at the border. The helicopters are part of a $1.3 billion package meant to tackle illegal migrant crossings and the drug trade. Those are conditions the Trump administration has once met if Ottawa doesn't want to face 25% tariffs on Canadian goods. A former Catholic priest in Nunavut has been sentenced to six years in prison. Eric DeJager pleaded guilty to sexually abusing children in the community of Igloolik.

These latest convictions come ten years after he was convicted on 32 counts of child sexual abuse. TJ Deer was in the Caliwit courtroom. Eric DeJager was originally charged with eight counts of historic sexual assault. He pleaded guilty to seven counts last week. An additional charge was added, but two others were rescinded by the Crown. The charges dealt with his time as a priest in Igloolik between 1978 and 1982. DeJager spoke briefly before the judge delivered his decision.

He asked for forgiveness and said he's changed after having lots of time to think. His victims were children between the ages of four and nine. Justice Fayaz Alibi said Deyeager destroyed the victims' childhoods and hurt their relationships with their families and the church. He also called Deyeager a calculated predator who used his position and authority to betray the community's trust. Deyeager was previously sentenced to 19 years in prison for sexually abusing kids in Igloolik. He was released on parole after seven years. CBC News has contacted DeAger's lawyer for comment.

TJ Deer, CBC News, Iqaluit. A St. John man is facing murder charges after two boys were found dead inside a residence. The victims were 10 and 17. Staff Sergeant Sarah Hobbs is with St. John Police. The accused was known to the victims. Our major crime unit and family protection unit, in cooperation with the coroner's office, continue to investigate. Hobbs says police discovered the suspect in the home.

The 46-year-old man was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries and remains in police custody. Smiling faces I can see, but not for me. I sit and watch as tears go by. That's Mary Ann Faithfull's sultry, deadpan cover of the Rolling Stones as tears go by. The singer died today in London, surrounded by her family. That 1964 breakthrough hit began her long involvement with the Stones. Faithful and Mick Jagger were one of the glam couples of the swinging 60s. Years later, in 1979, she broke through for a second time with her confessional album Broken English.

Marianne Faithful was 78. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Tom Harrington.
