The World This Hour for 2025/02/11 at 12:00 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. The Canadian premiers are converging on Washington for a joint lobbying effort against the Trump administration's latest tariff threats. And Ontario's Doug Ford got the ball rolling this morning with an appearance before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Let's stop wasting time and energy fighting each other, threatening tariffs that will only hurt workers, hurt businesses, and cost more for families, hurting

hard-working people just looking to get ahead in life. Instead, let's focus on restoring the pride of Made in the USA and Made in Canada. Premier's campaign comes as the Trump White House is threatening to impose 25 percent tariffs on all Canadian steel and aluminum starting on March 12th. At the same time, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's coordinating with world leaders to counter the latest trade threats from Washington. Trudeau is at a global AI summit in Paris and had an opportunity today to deliver a

message directly to the Trump administration. Olivia Stavanovic reports. As usual, these summits are a great opportunity to speak with a range of leaders. Moments after the Prime Minister made those comments to reporters in Paris, a senior federal government official says Justin Trudeau got in a word with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. We will stand up for Canadian workers. we will stand up for Canadian industries. The officials, as Trudeau mentioned, the impact steel tariffs will have in Ohio. Vance's home state, among Canada's largest markets,

and one of the states where US President Donald Trump wants to revive steelmaking. Trudeau did not announce retaliatory measures today, but he warned Trump's 25 percent tariff on all steel and aluminum imports will drive up costs for Americans. Trudeau says Canada will work with the Trump administration over the coming weeks to highlight the consequences the tariffs could have on both sides of the border. Olivia Stevanovich, CBC News, Paris. Away from the tariff issue, President Trump was on Fox News last night complaining about the cost of supporting the Ukrainian war effort.

We're spending hundreds of billions of dollars and you know they may make a deal, they may not make a deal, they may be Russian someday or they may not be Russian someday, but we're going to have all this money in there and I say I want it back. Trump says Kyiv has essentially agreed to a deal that would see Washington continue to provide military aid in exchange for Ukraine's rare minerals and resources. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is scheduled to meet with JD Vance later this week, Friday, at a security conference in Munich. More cracks are developing in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

Hamas has paused its release of Israeli hostages set for this coming weekend, while Israel now has its soldiers on high alert. All this as US President Trump pressures Jordan to accept more Palestinian refugees. Sasha Petrusik has more. Israel's negotiating position does seem to have hardened since US President Donald Trump proposed emptying Gaza of Palestinians. That's something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has cheered and Arab nations have flatly rejected. Former Jordanian Foreign Minister Jawad al-Adnani. It has been proven all throughout time that every time you don't produce a fair solution to the Palestinian issue then another war is in the blowing.

Still Trump meets with Jordan's King Abdullah in Washington today determined to convince him to take Palestinians from Gaza.

The tremors hitting the Greek island of Santorini appear to be getting stronger. A 5.3 magnitude earthquake was detected last night off the island's south coast. It's the strongest recorded since the quakes began in late January. More than 11,000 people have left the island in recent weeks,

and all schools have been closed, with an island-wide state of emergency in effect until at least March 3rd. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
