The World This Hour for 2025/05/02 at 17:00 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 Dave Seglands. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Parliament will get down to business on May 26th and King Charles has been invited to Canada to deliver the speech from the business on May 26th, and King Charles has been invited to Canada to deliver the speech from the throne on May 27th. Carney spoke in Ottawa during his first news conference since the Liberals won the election. He says he's also booked to travel to Washington next Tuesday for his first face-to-face meeting with the U.S. President Donald Trump.

I go there with the expectation of constructive difficult but constructive discussions that's the spirit. Carney says he plans to discuss two things the tariffs that have already been imposed on Canadian goods and services as well as the broader trade and security relationship between the two countries. While not everyone's thrilled at the news King Charles will be coming to Canada the Bloc Québécois calls the King a foreign monarch and the invitation for him to reopen Parliament strange. The Bloc says the move reveals that liberal values are irreconcilable with those of Quebecers

who reject the monarchy in favour of quote, democracy and modernity. Père-Pauliev will get another shot at his seat in parliament. The conservative leader lost his Ottawa area riding in the Monday election. Now an Alberta conservative who was reelected is stepping down to allow Poliev to run again. As David Thurton reports, the new prime minister promises not to delay a by-election. Thank you very much and I look forward to your questions. Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters he will not play politics if and when Conservative leader Pierre Poliev runs in a by-election.

Last Monday, Poliev lost the Ottawa area riding he held for more than 20 years, leaving him with no seat in the House of Commons. I've already indicated to Mr Poliev that if it's the decision of him and the Conservative party to trigger, if I can put it that the decision of him and the Conservative Party to trigger, if I can put it that way, a by-election, I will ensure that it happens as soon as possible. No games, nothing, straight. Now comes word that an Alberta seat will open up for Poliev. Conservative MP Damian Couric won re-election in the riding of Battle River

Crowfoot with more than 80% of the vote. But he now says he'll temporarily step down allowing Pauliap to run. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa. Oshawa, Ontario is reeling from news that General Motors is laying off 700 people. GM says it's cutting one shift in response to what it calls forecasted demand and the evolving trade environment. Well, Unifor national president Lana Payne accuses the auto giant of bartering away Canadian jobs to appease the US president. Payne is urging Ottawa to apply more pressure on automakers. The reality is you get to sell here, you need to build here.

And that message I believe has to be delivered by the Prime Minister to these automakers. They do not get to squeeze Canadian workers in this trade war. Next week, the Stellantis assembly plant in Windsor is pausing operation for one week. While the complainant accusing five former World Junior Hockey players of sexual assault testified today, the trial centers around a late night in 2018 in London, Ontario. Earlier in today's testimony the jury also heard from former hockey teammates. Jamie Strashan reports. Members of the 2018 Canadian junior hockey team who are not on trial testified about their recollections of

what happened in the early morning hours of June 19th. Taylor Radditch now a forward with the Washington Capitals, testified remotely. He was able to recall very little on the stand, but read portions of an interview he gave in 2018. In that interview, he told a hockey candidate investigator about entering teammate Michael McCloud's room where the alleged sexual assault took place.

He says he saw the complainant known as EM in bed, but didn't know if she was clothed or naked. Radish's room was next door to McLeod's where the players and EM were. Radish describes being nervous and fearful when team members started getting calls from Hockey Canada telling them an investigation was being launched. McLeod, Dylan Dubay, Carter Hart, Cal Foote and Alex Formanston who've all had NHL careers, have pleaded not guilty. Jamie Strash in CBC News, London, Ontario. And that is Your World This Hour.
