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 is our. I'm Joe Cummings. The Canadian government has until midnight tonight to convince US President Donald Trump to back away from his tariff threats. And while it doesn't look like Trump has any intention of standing down, it is possible at least one Canadian export might get a pass. Oil. Chris Reyes has the latest.

It's coming on the first. In yet another rattling of the cage, President Donald Trump remained firm on his tariff deadline against Canada, its largest trading partner, 25% on billions of dollars worth of Canadian goods that cross into the U.S. yearly. Trump said the tariffs may rise with time, but flip-flopped on whether Canadian oil exports would be part of the package. First saying this. We may or may not. We're going to make that determination probably tonight. Canada is the Americans' number one source of oil imports. When pressed to clarify if oil would definitely be included or excluded from tariffs,

Trump said this. Oil is going to have nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned. Oil has nothing to do with it. Canada has indicated it plans to impose its own tariffs on U.S. goods if Trump goes ahead with his plans. Chris Reyes, CBC News, New York. The Trudeau government has three cabinet ministers in Washington looking to convince senior members of the Trump White House that tariff action isn't in America's best interest. Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Jolie is joined on Capitol Hill today by Public Safety Minister David McGinty and Immigration Minister Mark Miller. We're expecting Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney to announce today that if he becomes party leader, he will dump the government's carbon pricing policy.

In a release overnight, Carney said he'll replace it with a series of incentives for consumers to go green. But he says he still intends to keep carbon pricing in place for large industry, which is also what his fellow leadership contender, Christia Freeland, is pledging. Officials in Washington say the flight data and cockpit voice recorders have now been recorded from the wreckage of the American Airlines passenger plane that crashed Wednesday night into the Potomac River. And a preliminary report on the tragic mid-air collision will be released in 30 days. Paul Hunter has more. Even as divers continue their work in the icy, shallow waters of the Potomac, sifting

through the wreckage of the two aircraft, investigators are already able to begin examining what's been recovered so far, including the cockpit voice recorder and data recorder from the passenger jet, the so-called black boxes. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, which heads the investigation, expects to issue a preliminary report within 30 days. It'll be supported in part by Canada's transportation safety board because though the plane was operated by American Airlines, the Bombardier jetliner was built in Canada in 2004. It's to be reconstructed piece by broken piece in an NTSB hangar once the recovery is complete to aid investigators in their efforts. Says the NTSB. For now, everything's on the table from mechanical to human error.

Paul Hunter, CBC News, Washington. It's sounding like there may be some good news for residents displaced by last summer's Jasper wildfire. A housing plan published by the municipality says that Parks Canada is looking to secure about 300 housing units by the end of February. The municipality estimates about 600 families are in need of temporary housing following last year's disaster. The housing type includes about 100 duplex mobile trailers and 120 work camp style accommodations, with both styles ready for occupancy by the end of next month.
