The World This Hour for 2025/04/17 at 19:00 EDT

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 Julianne Hazelwood. The four major party leaders will square off in an English language debate starting this hour. It's an opportunity to make their pitch to Canadians. Tom Perry has a preview. Bonjour, comment ça va? Enchanté, nice to meet you. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh out and about at a farmers market in Montreal, making nice with voters after going after all three of his rivals in last night's French language debate, arguing his party will protect Canadian workers. There was plenty of to-ing and fro-ing between the leaders,

with Liberal Mark Carney facing attacks from all sides. Bonsoir, monsieur. Salut. Salut. Bonsoir. Carney paid a visit to a classic Montreal smoked meat restaurant today. His goal tonight will be to not get sliced and diced

by Singh and the two other contenders on stage, Conservative leader Pierre Poliev and Bloc Québécois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet, get sliced and diced by Singh and the two other contenders on stage, conservative leader Pierre Poliev and Bloc Québécois leader Yves-Francois Blanchette, all of whom will be looking to make their mark in this final showdown of the campaign. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. Tune in tonight for a CBC Radio News special on the federal leaders' English language debate. Susan Bonner and P. H. Hatapatai will bring you full coverage along with analysis and the leaders Q&A sessions with

reporters after the debate. And then it's your chance to weigh in during a special edition of cross-country checkup with Ian Hannemancing. It all gets underway this hour on CBC radio and the CBC News app. Needless to say, we have multiple crime scenes. Tallahassee police chief Lawrence Revel says a shooting at Florida State University left two people dead. At least six others are wounded. The shooter is believed to be a student and is recovering, receiving that is medical attention. Walter McNeil is the sheriff of Leon County. He says the shooter is the son of a deputy sheriff. Unfortunately, her son had access to one of her weapons and that was one of the weapons

that was found at the scene. And we will continue that investigation into how that weapon was used and what other weapons perhaps he may have had access to. The scene at the university is still under investigation. At least four people had been killed in Italy in a cable car accident. One person is critically injured. The cable car in the south of the country is a popular attraction offering views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples.

Officials say a cable snapped just a week after a destination. The destination reopened for the season. Ontario says a new bill will fast-track major resource development projects. Premier Doug Ford says the need for the legislation is urgent because of the economic threats from south of the border. Phil Blichanak has more. It's not the same rules as usual. We're going to move forward. Premier Doug Ford says mining projects like those in the Ring of Fire,

a deposit of critical minerals in the near north, must be fast-tracked. President Trump wants to destroy our economy. We can't be caught up in red tape and regulations and and dilly-dallying around. The bill would streamline government approval such as permitting so roads could be built more quickly. It's the benefit of the mining companies period. New Democrat Salma Makhwas says indigenous communities need to have a say before roads and mines can go forward. When we talk about duty to consult from this government they do the bare minimum and that's not good enough. Ford says the new

rules won't cut corners on the environment or meaningful consultations with First Nations but the two First Nations doing environmental assessments in the area say their work cannot be rushed. Philippi Shannok, CBC News, Toronto. Ontario has added another 109 confirmed and probable cases of measles to its tally. The growth over the last week brings the total number of cases in the outbreak to 925. Ontario Public Health says the continuing spread is mainly due to transmission among people who haven't been immunized. Alberta is also reporting an increase in measles with 89 cases

confirmed. Meanwhile Quebec may report its outbreak over if no new cases are reported by Saturday. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood. .
