The World This Hour for 2025/05/03 at 09:00 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 Claude Fague. Higher auto prices, supply chain disruption and a general strain on the economy. Always Donald Trump's 25% tariff aimed at the auto sector could be felt in the months to come. It went into effect at midnight Washington time. We learned this week Canadian auto parts are being largely exempted,

but experts say the broader trade measures could still impact Canadians. And the impact of US President Trump's tariffs are now being felt by the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. As Steve Futterman reports, the ongoing trade war is already affecting jobs. Here at the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the harsh reality of the Trump tariffs is already being felt. It's radical uncertainty. Mario Codero runs the Long Beach port.

The drop-off in traffic, he says, has been slowly increasing for the last several weeks. By next week, the two Southern California ports are expecting that reduction to reach 30 percent. When you have 145% tax on products from China, that actually is going to bring trade to a stop. And it has almost everyone in the shipping and cargo and port industries worried. At the White House this week, Donald Trump acknowledged the reduction in shipments while holding out hope for some resolution. At a certain point, I hope we're going to make a deal with China.

Those next to feel the impact could possibly be consumers. Retail experts say American buyers could be hit with increased prices and empty shelves in the next 30 to 60 days. Steve Futterman for CBC News at the Port of Los Angeles. Pierre Palié's political future is starting to become a little bit clear. Despite growing the Conservative Party seat count, Palié lost his own riding of Carlton. Now he's trying to get back into the House of Commons. Host of the House, Catherine Cullen, has a look at how long that could take and what the wait might mean for his party.

Obviously, I would like to see Mr. Poliev in the House where he belongs. Conservative MP-elect Gérard Deltel is sounding fairly positive about the election results. His party increased seats, but one they lost belonged to leader Pyr Polyev. On Friday, the Conservatives revealed Polyev would run in a by-election in the Alberta riding of Battle River Crowfoot. Damien Couric is stepping aside just days after winning the riding with 82% of the vote. In a statement, Polyev praised Couric as selfless and said he was accepting the offer with humility and appreciation. The Liberals could wait months to call the by-election, keeping Poliev out of

the House of Commons for as long as possible. But Prime Minister Mark Carney says he won't delay. I will ensure that it happens as soon as possible. Still, there are rules and procedures to follow and Poliev likely won't know the results of that race until at least late June. By then, Parliament may have gone on break until the fall. Catherine Cullen, CBC News, Ottawa. And you can hear more on this with Catherine on the House right after the 9 o'clock edition of World Report 930 in Newfoundland. My fellow Australians, serving as your Prime Minister is the greatest honour of my life.

Anthony Albanese addressing a crowd of supporters in Sydney after declaring victory in the federal election. He and his Labor Party have been re-elected with what appears to be a majority government. Albanese is the first Australian Prime Minister to win a second consecutive three-year term in 21 years. He defeated the Conservative leading party whose leader, Peter Dutton, lost his seat in parliament. 19 horses are set to go to the post for the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby today. The run for the roses is expected to be a sloppy one with rain forecast for the Louisville area.

Among the favorites is American-owned Sandman who is trained by Mark Cassie, a dual Hall of Famer in both Canada and the U.S. who has had a long and successful run at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. Post time is just before 7pm eastern this evening. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fague.
