RCMP in Manitoba say they've found the remains of a serial killer's victim in a landfill just outside Winnipeg. Morgan Harris' remains were identified this week along with those of another person. Sam Sampson reports. Wasn't easy to get to this point. Manitoba Premier Wab Kanu stepped out of a private event in Winnipeg for the victim's families to share his thoughts. Not only on the official news, Morgan Harris' remains have been found, but what this means for her family.

Being able to grieve her, lay here to rest. Manitoba RCMP say Harris's remains were found in the prairie greenland filled north of Winnipeg late last month. Experts had been searching the area since December. One of Harris's daughters, Cambria, posted on Facebook after the news broke. We found my mother Morgan, she wrote. It is a very bittersweet moment. She wrote she believes both families will bring their loved ones home, alluding to another set of remains found,

which family members hope are those of Mercedes Myron. Harris and Myron were two of four First Nations women murdered by a serial killer in 2022. Last summer, Jeremy Skibitsky was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder in connection with their deaths. Sam Sampson, CBC News, Edmonton. UK intelligence officials say the Kremlin has issued passports to Ukrainians living in Russian-occupied parts of the country. Millions of Ukrainians are now at risk of conscription into the Russian military. Dominic Velaitis with more. According to British Military Intelligence, 3.5 million Russian passports have now been issued to Ukrainians in occupied territories like Luhansk and Dornetsk.

That's 700,000 more than were reportedly issued by March of last year. British officials say Moscow makes access to healthcare, social and financial services contingent on having a Russian passport. And without one, Ukrainians living in occupied regions face the possibility of having their property seized by the Russian authorities. But having one makes that person eligible for conscription into the Russian military, meaning millions of Ukrainians in areas occupied by Russian forces are at risk

of conscription and being forced to fight their fellow Ukrainians. British military intelligence claims the effort is further evidence the Kremlin's committed to a policy of Russification of Ukraine. Dominic Velaitis for CBC News, Riga, Latvia. The co-creator of that AI generated video of a Gaza resort shared by US President Donald Trump on social media is speaking out and Solo Avital says it was all a joke. I'm not trying to defend it I mean this is what I this is how I imagined it and this is how I imagined what would it be like if if you know sort of like Saturday in life we'll do a sk skit on the idea of Donald Trump,

completely with satirical intentions. Evital adds he's glad the video sparked so much conversation, but he says the technology is dangerous and its use should be banned for political purposes. Time has come today. Time! That's right folks, in most of the country it's time to spring forward and institute daylight saving time.

That means moving your clocks forward one hour. Mike Antle is a psychology professor. He points out there are several studies showing the health risks associated with disrupting sleep patterns. We have a circadian clock in our brain that regulates all the daily rhythms of our body. One of the things that it does is it gets your body ready for waking up. With the time change what they find is people are more likely to have an on-the-job accident next week, they're more likely to have a car accident, more likely to have a

severe medical problem if they're at risk. There are parts of the country that don't switch to daylight saving time including Yukon and areas in Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, BC and Nunavut. Fire departments suggest this is a good time to check the batteries in your smoke detectors. By the way, there's a great story on our website cbcnews.ca about what would happen if we didn't change our clocks. And our time is up. That is your World This Hour.
