The World This Hour for 2025/05/04 at 14:00 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. It's day three in the search for two missing children in Pictou County, Nova Scotia. Six-year-old Lily Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack haven't been seen since Friday morning. They're believed to have wandered off from a home in Lansdowne Station. Several agencies are involved in the search. Amy Hansen is a member of the Colchester Ground Search and Rescue, one of more than a hundred people looking for the pair. There's still a lot of hope. Survivability by a lost person's behaviour is actually fairly good for children.

It was wet last night but it wasn't super cold so if they're moving or if they hunkered down somewhere, which is what children tend to do, survivability is still good. Everybody's still very hopeful that we're going to find them and everybody's just pushing through everything. Police say there's no evidence to suggest the children were abducted. Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing to meet the US president in Washington on Tuesday. Carney says he expects difficult but constructive conversations about trade and security. Everett Eisenstadt was a former economic adviser during the first Trump administration.

He says he would tell the prime minister to stay pragmatic and use the meeting as a first step in navigating a new relationship with the US. We really need to see it from each other's perspectives. There's security discussions, there's border discussions, there's a real recognition about the need for resilient supply chains. So there's an opportunity there to open the aperture beyond just the traditional trade discussion that I think could be very very fruitful. Carney has said he doesn't expect the meeting to lead to an immediate resolution to the tariff issue. In the UK, eight people have been arrested on suspicion of plotting terrorist attacks,

and seven of those arrested are Iranian nationals. As Anna Cunningham tells us, British intelligence officials say Iran is a big problem. Police say these arrests were part of two separate investigations. Counterterrorism officers detained five men, four of them Iranian nationals, on Saturday on suspicion of plotting to target a specific premises where has not been revealed. The three other men, all Iranians,

were arrested in West London by the Metropolitan Police's Counter-Terrorism Command. They were detained using national security legislation on suspicion of involvement with a foreign power. There is intense scrutiny of suspected Iran-backed activities in Britain. The UK's Domestic Intelligence Chief Ken McCallum said last year that since 2022 officers had responded to 20 Tehran-backed plots that potentially posed a lethal threat to British citizens and residents. The Iranian embassy in London has not commented. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London.

Runners are en route in Vancouver right now for the BMO Marathon. More than 25,000 participants are expected to be taking part and even more people are expected to line the route supporting the runners. It's one of the first big public events in the city since last weekend's car attack on a Filipino street festival. Vancouver police sergeant Steve Addison admits some people may feel anxious but security measures are in place, including 200 police personnel. We've worked with the City of Vancouver, with event organizers. We have every reason to believe that the marathon, thousands of people coming out on Sunday morning

to run 42 kilometers will be able to do so in an environment that is safe and fun. Among the measures put in place, Addison says there will be heavy and light vehicle barriers along the route. The Winnipeg Jets have a do-or-die game seven tonight against the St. Louis Blues. Jets forward and Halifax native Morgan Barron says the team is looking forward to the challenge. You know these game sevens are kind of the moments you grow up watching on TV and dreaming about playing in them so we're all really excited about it and I think it's a good opportunity for us. The bad news center Mark Shieffley will not be playing because of an undisclosed injury he received in game five. The good news every game in the series has been won by the hometown

team and tonight's game is being played in Winnipeg. The winner will then move on to face the Dallas Stars who beat Colorado in game seven last night. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
