The World This Hour for 2025/02/05 at 16:00 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, the world this hour. I'm Tom Harrington. Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney is delivering a warning about the impact of tariffs he's drawing on his experience leading the Bank of England through Brexit in 2016. You know you can't suspend the impact of tariffs. He's drawing on his experience leading the Bank of England through Brexit in 2016. You know, you can't suspend the law of economics. I've seen this movie before in Brexit, where steps are taken.

It takes a while for the economic effect to come, but it comes. The impact of tariffs. Tariffs will cause inflation. Inflation will cause higher interest rates. Great linkages between economies can be torn apart with real economic costs. It's a strategy, it's not leadership. Carney also says he expects tariff negotiations between Canada and the United States to go

well past the current March 4th deadline. He also thinks talks on updating the current free trade agreement should open earlier than 2026. Conservative leader Pierre Poliev says the government should have acted far earlier to clamp down on fentanyl. The supplies of the opioid crossing into the U.S. is one of the reasons Donald Trump gave for threatening to put a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday the establishing of a fentanyl czar, but Polyev says the deaths of 50,000 Canadians from the drug should have been reason enough. We should crack down on drugs not to please President Trump, but to ensure that not one

more mother has to bury her face in her hands on learning that her son died of an overdose in a back alley somewhere. Polyev wants life sentences for anyone convicted of fentanyl trafficking, calling them mass murderers. The RCMP say the four people found on the Kerry, the Kettle, and the Kota First Nation were murdered. They say their initial investigation suggests the home was targeted. The bodies of two men and two women were discovered yesterday in South Saskatchewan.

Police arrested a man who was pointing a gun at people on a nearby First Nation community. He is facing weapons charges, but police have not yet said if he is a suspect in the murders. Donald Trump's suggestion the U.S. takeover Gaza is sending shockwaves around the world. The president wants to deport Palestinians from the beleaguered territory, then construct what he is calling the Riviera of the Middle East. Sasha Petrusik is in Jerusalem. Gaza may be buffeted by winter winds today, but it's the unexpected blast from US President Donald Trump that has them in despair.

He should know that we will not leave our country. Reaction was exactly the opposite on the streets of Jerusalem. It's like too good to be true. Welcoming Trump's idea to force some 2 million Palestinians from Gaza with US troops. Maybe it will be replaced by Western values as in businesses. As for Hamas militants whose attack on Israel sparked the current conflict, they say this US.S. plan could lead to more violence.

It's also not expected to help keep the current ceasefire going long enough to see all of Israel's hostages released. Sasha Petrusik, CBC News, Jerusalem. You may have noticed Canadians seem to be uncharacteristically public in their patriotism these days. Even one of Montreal's iconic bakeries had a craving to get into the mood, unveiling a new bagel that shows our true colours. Vanessa Lee explains. Listening to the radio and the talk about everything that's going on at the tariffs and I thought wow like maybe I can do a Canada bagel. Fairmount Bagel co-owner Rhonda Schlaffman is beaming

with patriotic pride as she makes a batch of red and white hand rolled bagels. She says it's their way of making a statement. This came to me overnight I just thought of doing something that would cheer people up that would make us feel proud of who we are and where we come from. Schlaffman's grandfather came to Canada from Russia and opened Montreal's first bagel bakery more than a century ago. The wood-fired bagels are now known around the world. The dough is braided together, she says,

much like the way Quebecers and Canadians are uniting in these uncertain times. Vanessa Lee, CBC News, Montreal. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Tom Harrington. Thanks for listening.
