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 Claude Fague. Just hours before playing an NHL playoff game, Washington Capitals forward Taylor Radish testified via video link at the sexual assault trial of his former World Junior Hockey teammates. He's the first hockey player called as a witness and is not facing any charges. Karen Pauls is in court. Taylor Radish said he and his teammates were at the Hockey Canada Ring Ceremony for winning

the 2018 World Junior Hockey Championship. He told court he went to Jack's bar with the team and although he says he wasn't drinking heavily he can't remember much about what happened that night. Radish does recall going into Michael McCloud's hotel room next door to his. He remembers seeing a woman probably on the bed but he doesn't remember if she was dressed. Radish confirms he got text messages from a team group chat involving 19 people. One of them, sent by McCloud, said, Who wants to be in a three-way quick?

In another text, McCloud told Radish to come to his room if he wanted oral sex. In another message about a week later, Radish sent a text saying one of Hockey Canada's staff called him about an investigation. The Crown has previously said the players had a discussion about getting their stories straight in case they were questioned. Karen Pauls, CBC News, London, Ontario. Ontario Premier Doug Ford went off on his province's judges this morning at an announcement on reforming the bail system.

Ford said too many judges let violent repeat offenders back into communities just days after they were arrested and accused of serious crimes. We need tough on crime judges. You know one of these judges that are bleeding hearts, I can't wait till they retire. As a matter of fact, I'll pay him to retire earlier. I'll pay you out for two, three, four years. Just get out of the system. Ford also floated the idea of electing judges.

He's also calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to toughen federal legislation on bail. The Premier of British Columbia is declaring a province-wide day of mourning this Friday. David Eby says it will allow residents to honor the 11 people killed at a Filipino festival. Eby says the province is also reviewing options on expanding mental health care.

counts of second-degree murder. To the White House. He's a very nice gentleman and he's going to come to the White House very shortly within the next week or less. That's US President Donald Trump talking about Prime Minister Mark Carney and the phone call the two had yesterday. Trump says Carney wants to negotiate a new agreement. He called me up yesterday and said let's make a deal. He was running for office. They both hated Trump and it was the one that hated Trump, I think the least that one. I actually think the conservative hated me much more than the so-called liberal.

He's a pretty liberal guy. But no, I spoke to him yesterday. He couldn't have been nicer. Yesterday, the prime minister's office said the two discussed comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship. The U.S. and Ukraine have signed a long-awaited deal on rare earth minerals. The agreement would provide Washington with access to Ukraine's natural resources. In exchange, Kyiv would receive American investment and potential military aid.

While it does not explicitly provide U.S. security guarantees, the agreement expresses a commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and long-term prosperity. A deal had been in the works for months. It was derailed in February after a heated argument between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky in the Oval Office. Out of control wildfires are burning near Jerusalem. Drivers panic as they navigate flames
