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. 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 U.S. 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 on the tariff issue. Alberta's path forward with Ottawa. That's the focus of Premier Danielle Smith's live address tomorrow. After years of a rocky relationship between the federal liberals and the province, she'll talk about how Alberta plans to work with the newly elected government. Julia Wong

reports. Julia Wong Monday afternoon, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will lay out what she calls the bold steps her government will take to chart a new course for the province. During a live-streamed event, Smith is expected to outline how her united conservative government will deal with Mark Carney's federal liberals. The remarks come after a government caucus meeting Friday, the same day Smith spoke with Carney. A meeting she called positive. Political columnist Graham Thompson.

I imagine what she's going to do is say, you know, she's sort of making sure that Carney does live up to this sense of resetting things, resetting that relationship or else. And she's talked about having a panel looking at the future of relations between Alberta and the federal government. Before the election campaign began, Smith shared a list of demands for the next prime minister. They included killing the oil and gas emissions cap and a guarantee that Alberta can build pipelines in every direction. Julia Wong, CBC News, Edmonton. The search for two young children in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, continues. Six-year-old

Lily Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack haven't been seen since leaving their home on Friday morning. RCMP Staff Sergeant Curtis McKinnon says the dense bush and weather are creating tough search conditions. Curtis McKinnon, RCMP Staff Sergeant With the wet weather, it makes things a little more complicated for our searchers. Given they're in the woods, it's wet, things are slippery, footing's not the greatest, the water's not the best, but they're still trudging through

and they're still working hard at doing the job that they have to do. McKinnon says searchers believe they found a footprint yesterday and a grid has been set up in that area. Authorities say there's no evidence the children were abducted. Vigils and memorials continue in Vancouver

one week after the Lapu-Lapu Festival tragedy. Some of those who were injured during the alleged car attack are still in hospital recovering and others in the community are looking for ways to support them. Shariah Chattery reports. I'm checking up on one of the people that was hurt in the Lapu-Lapu Day tragedy. RJ Aquino is with Filipino BC, the group behind the festival. He's been visiting survivors of last weekend's car ramming at hospitals across Metro Vancouver. As of Thursday, police say 13 people remain in hospital, six in critical or serious

condition. Aquino says he, along with volunteers, are trying to visit them, offering what they can. Anything from meals to helping do their laundry to any financial constraints. He says the community's support has been overwhelming. Alongside vigils and memorials, mental health supports are now in place with counseling available through the Red Cross and United Way. It's not going to be a quick recovery but we want to make sure that there is a path. Souria Chetri, CBC News, Vancouver.

The vote could affect the future of NATO and the outcome of the war in Ukraine.

Simeon is an admirer of Donald Trump. Results of the previous vote wereulled after evidence of Russian interference. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
