The World This Hour for 2025/02/10 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. Canada is bracing for another big tariff announcement out of the U.S. President Donald Trump says he'll explain details of new 25% levies on all steel and aluminum imports and no carve-outs for America's closest neighbors. Richard Madden reports. The revised White House schedule has President Donald Trump signing several executive orders at 530 Eastern Time up from 1 o'clock Eastern. No reason was given for the change. A top Canadian

official says Ottawa has not received notice of the looming US tariffs under President Trump's dramatic overhaul of trade policy. For decades, Canadian steel has been used to build America's bridges, roads and skyscrapers, so a 25% tariff could have a damaging economic impact. But Trump is using tariffs to bolster domestic production, and his threat is being praised by the Steelworkers Union. This is not the first time Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Back in 2018, he justified a 25% tariff citing national security concerns.

Canada retaliated, and a year later, Trump exempted them. So this time around, Canadian officials are hoping history will repeat itself in Trump's new administration. Richard Madden, CBC News, Washington. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is calling for tariffs against Elon Musk's car company. We want to put a 100% tariff on Tesla cars. You pick a fight with Canada, we're going to fight back. We want to make sure Donald Trump and Elon Musk feel it.

So that's our vision. We want to be able to support Canadians, to buy Canadian, and we're going to fight back at those that are taking shots at our country. Singh spoke in Windsor, Ontario after meeting with autoworkers to discuss the tariffs. The leader of the official opposition is also speaking out. Pierre Pauliev is in Nunavut promising a conservative government would build a permanent military base in the territory. Hostile powers want our resources, our shipping routes, and to be in striking distance of our continent.

Let me be clear, the Canadian Arctic belongs to Canadians and Canadians will take back control of their Arctic waters, Arctic skies, and Arctic land. Poliev says his government would also purchase four polar icebreakers, two each for the Coast Guard and Navy. Hamas says it will stop releasing Israeli hostages until further notice. The Palestinian militant group is accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire. It claims Palestinians in Gaza were targeted with airstrikes and humanitarian aid was prevented from entering the area.

Israel says the announcement to postpone hostage release is a violation of the agreement. The defense minister ordered the country's military to be at the highest level of readiness in Gaza. The ceasefire has largely held over the past three weeks. An intense winter storm is pummeling eastern Ufanland. Almost 40 centimeters of snow blanket at St. John's and surrounding area. Malone Mullen has the details. Ferocious winds spiking at over 100 kilometers an hour whipped falling snow into a frenzy

Monday morning. Visibility down to just the hand in front of you. A proper blizzard by definition but one that quickly tapered off. Schools, courts and liquor stores remain closed. That's as people in Metro St. John's dig out from the 37 centimeters dumped on them Sunday night. I'm shoveling out my house. Shane Dwyer was trying to figure out where to put all the snow outside his downtown row house. In typical Newfoundland fashion, though, he wasn't shoveling just for himself. An elderly lady that lives here, I might as well shovel out my house and my neighbors.

A few houses over, Sienna Walsh is waiting impatiently for her dad to dig them out. Hurry up and shovel. Because for a four-year-old, the winter's first snow day means snow angels and sleds instead of sore backs. Malone Mullen, CBC News, St. John's. Many of the world's most polluting nations have missed a U.N. deadline to set new climate targets. Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, they were supposed to provide a detailed plan every five years for cutting heat-trapping emissions by 2035.

Most countries, including Canada, missed the deadline. The U.N. says that's okay as long as they are working on them while global emissions keep rising. That is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Tom Harrington. Thanks for listening.
