The World This Hour for 2025/03/01 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 Peter Dock. Ukraine's president got a warm welcome from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London. Well, let me just say that you're very, very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers on the street outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom. Thank you very much, Keir. I saw a lot of people and I want to thank you, people of the United Kingdom, for such big support from the very beginning of this war. Thank you, your team.

After a public B rating at the White House yesterday, Vladimir Zelensky held talks with Starmor today. And then... We're going to sign the UK-Ukrainian Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration Loan Agreement worth £2.26 billion as part of our unwavering and ongoing support for the Ukrainian people. That is Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves signing a loan agreement worth

4.1 billion dollars. It's all part of a very public show of support for Ukraine by Great Britain. Tomorrow Britain will host an international meeting on Ukraine, European Union and NATO leaders will be there, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. CBC reporter Tom Perry is travelling with the Prime Minister. This summit is being hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He was in Washington this week. He met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office. And after that visit, when Starmer got back to the UK, he called this summit of European leaders.

I think it's fair to say the message coming out of Washington is that if there's going to be any kind of security guarantees for Ukraine and some future peace deal with Russia, that it's going to be the Europeans who are going to have to step up. The United States wants nothing to do with that. If anything, the United States has been taking Russia's side in this conflict over Ukraine. So Stammer is bringing together the European allies to talk about that. We heard yesterday that Justin Trudeau would be attending this summit to add Canada's voice to that future planning. We did hear Justin Trudeau, he put out a tweet yesterday voicing his support

for Ukraine. But of course, Canada is in a very delicate position right now. It wants to support Ukraine, but the United States is set to bring down tariffs on Canada starting next week. And so, the government's trying to balance supporting Ukraine with not getting on the wrong side of Donald Trump. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. Overseas and here at home, there has been shock and concern about what transpired in the Oval Office yesterday when Trump and his vice president berated Zelensky. CBC reporter Philipp Lee Shenock has more on the reaction. You're gambling with World War III.

Nick Kravitz, a third generation Ukrainian-Canadian helping refugees settle in Winnipeg, watched in disbelief as a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance devolved into conflict. To see a U.S. president repeating Russian propaganda along with his vice president in the Oval Office is an utter embarrassment. The meeting in the Oval Office was intended to discuss a pivotal minerals deal to strengthen U.S.- Ukrainian relations. To Ukrainians in Kiev like this man it looked like it had the opposite effect. When you look at Zelensky's face, you understand that they don't respect people of Ukraine.

Even Ukrainian opposition politicians say the incident has forced the country to unite and brace for what's next and say Zelensky defended the honour and sovereignty of Ukraine. Philippy Shanok, CBC News, Toronto. And Muslims around the world are welcoming the start of Ramadan. In Mississauga, Ontario, ISNA Canada is getting ready to host thousands of worshipers. Dalia Hashem is the organization's youth outreach manager. Whenever Ramadan comes around, everyone is excited to get together with their

families, to get together with their loved ones, and to come together as a community as well. This is really an opportunity to unplug from everything else and really focus on your relationship with others and also on your relationship with God. During Ramadan, devout Muslims who are healthy and able to fast refrain from eating and drinking between sunrise and sunset. Worshippers also make a special effort to give to charity.
