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. Rainy foggy weather is hampering efforts to find two children last seen outside a home in Pictou County, Nova Scotia on Friday morning. Searchers have been out day and night looking for the six-year-old girl and her four-year-old brother. Josh Hoffman has an update. I just spoke to RCMP Staff Sergeant Curtis McKinnon with the Pictou County detachment. He told me searchers do believe they found a footprint yesterday. A grid has been set up in that area and some of these search efforts are focusing on that grid.

Overall the search area is growing as more time passes on but the conditions today are wetter and foggier than they were yesterday which means the helicopters and the drones involved in the search were grounded. It also means that the conditions are worse for the searchers on the ground. More than 120 people once again today out in the wooded area, out in the area around where the children were last seen trying desperately to find any sign of Lily and Jack and bring them home safe. Josh Hoffman, CBC News, Lansdowne Station. Residents in Mission, BC were told to shelter in place early Saturday morning

after a derelict former BC ferry caught fire. The blaze sent thick clouds of smoke into the air affecting air quality in the area. The mayor of Mission, Paul Horne, says the city has expressed concerns about the decommissioned ferry for years. The letter that we wrote on behalf of council to the federal government expressed our concern that we were simply waiting for the inevitable to occur and that's exactly what this feels like today. The shelter-in-place advisory was lifted Saturday afternoon, but residents are being urged to keep their windows and doors closed as the smoke may linger for a few more days. The city says the vessel will be handed

over to the Coast Guards for cleanup as it's in federal waters. A week after a man drove into a crowd at the Lapu Lapu Festival in Vancouver, members of the Filipino community are visiting survivors in hospital. Volunteers from into a crowd at the Lapu Lapu Festival in Vancouver, members of the Filipino community are visiting survivors in hospital. Volunteers from Filipino BC, the group that organized the festival, have started checking in on victims and their families. They're offering meals, help with laundry, and financial support for those unable to work. RJ Aquino is chair of Filipino BC. We're doing the work to make sure to check in on folks and kind of identify their specific needs, really start to look after the people that have been

physically hurt and impacted by this alongside really everybody else who needs the help. Thirteen people remain in hospital, six of them in critical or serious condition. Eleven people were killed in the incident. The U.S. president gave a long interview to NBC's Meet the Press. He repeated remarks about Canada becoming the 51st state, but he also addressed issues that Americans are concerned about, like the state of the economy and the U.S. Constitution. Steve Futterman has more.

In a lengthy interview, Donald Trump continued to downplay fears of a significant economic downturn in the U.S. economy as a result of his tariffs. But he did not completely rule out a recession. Is it OK in the short term to have a recession? Yes, everything's OK. I said this is a transition period. I think we're going to do fantastically. He said the tariffs may force Americans to change their buying habits and again use children's

dolls as an example. I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls. He insisted tariffs are going to make the U.S. very rich. On a pair of issues that may concern U.S. constitutional experts, Trump said he wasn't sure if everyone in the country is entitled to due process in legal matters. And when asked if he's required to uphold the Constitution, he said, I don't know. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles.
