The World This Hour for 2025/02/10 at 10:00 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. U.S. President Donald Trump says he'll be announcing 25 percent tariffs today on all steel and aluminum imports entering the United States. And he's saying Canada is among the countries that will be targeted. Peter Armstrong reports. We'll also be announcing steel tariffs on Monday. Donald Trump was speaking to reporters about his plan to change the name of the Gulf of

Mexico when he pivoted unexpectedly to steel and aluminum imports. Including Canada, Mexico, and America. Any steel coming into the United States is going to have a 25% tariff. Canada sends about 6 million tons of steel to the U.S. every year. Add another nearly 3 million tons of aluminum. But as we saw when similar tariffs were imposed during Trump's first presidency, tariffs would drive up costs in the US as well. Carl Schamada, chief market strategist at the financial

services firm, Corpey says consumers would feel these tariffs quickly. It'll also raise prices for products made with steel and aluminum, things like cars, appliances and beer. Canadian Steel Producers Association says it's hoping for an exemption. If not, it says Canada must hit back hard and fast with its own retaliatory tariffs on American steel and aluminum. Peter Armstrong, CBC News, Toronto. Meanwhile, President Trump is still openly discussing Canada becoming the 51st state.

Over the weekend, he raised it in an interview with Fox News. And then again later, while he was on his way to the Super Bowl. Carolyn Bargout has more from Washington. For weeks, U.S. President Donald Trump has been talking about making Canada the 51st state. In an exclusive interview on Fox News Sunday, reporter Brett Baier asked him about comments Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was heard saying on Friday, that he was serious about making Canada part of the U.S.

I think Canada would be much better off being a 51st state because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada. It's too much. Why are we paying $200 billion a year essentially in subsidy to Canada? Now if they're a 51st state, I don't mind doing it. Later Sunday evening, Trump doubled down, saying this while inside Air Force One on the way to the Super Bowl. And think of how beautiful that country would be without that artificial line running right through it. Somebody drew it many years ago with a ruler, just a line. You look at how

beautiful that is, wow, it would be very exciting. But if you look at Canada and would be cherished as a 51st day. Caroline Bargout, CBC News, Washington. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is among a number of world leaders in Paris this week for a global AI summit. If we have a delay in terms of AI adoption around the world, the consequences will be even more catastrophic and more painful, not just for those who don't have access to it, but for the divisions and the conflicts that will result. That's true. Speaking ahead of today's session, among other things, the summit is looking at how governments

can establish meaningful guardrails even as the tech giants are fighting for dominance in the industry. 100 countries are represented at this two-day gathering. Pierre Poliev says a conservative government would build a permanent military base in Nunavut. The opposition leader says CFB Akaluit would serve as an Air Force base to defend the Arctic Circle and assist in search and rescue missions. Poliev is in Akaluit and made the announcement today in a social media post. He also says his government would also purchase four heavy icebreakers, two for the Ghost

Guard and two for the Navy. The National Football League has a new Super Bowl champion. For the second time, the Vince LaVardy Trophy is headed to Philadelphia. Eagles fly in Super Bowl 59. They did. That was a final call last night in New Orleans as the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in this year's title game. 40-22 was the final score. Kansas City went in looking for their third straight Super Bowl win, but they were totally dominated

by Philadelphia. The Eagles were up 24-0 by halftime and never looked back. And that is The World This Hour. Remember, you can listen to us wherever you get your podcasts. The World This Hour is updated every hour, seven days a week. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
