The World This Hour for 2025/05/04 at 21:00 EDT

In this acclaimed new production of Anna Karenina, the National Ballet of Canada asks, what is fair in love and society? Renowned choreographer Christian Spook adapts Tolstoy's epic novel to dance in a spectacular work complete with lush costumes, cinematic projections, and a glorious curated score, featuring the music of Rachmaninoff. On stage June 13th to 21st, tickets on sale now at national.ballet.ca sponsored by IG private wealth management. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Herland. Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing

for his biggest challenge since the election. On Tuesday, Carney will meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House, his first face-to-face meeting. JP Tasker has more. It would be a cherished state. Donald Trump is renewing his 51st state taunts ahead of a high-stakes meeting with Canada's newly elected prime minister. Mark Carney is dismissing the takeover talk and setting the bar low for Tuesday's Oval Office meeting. They won't proceed in a straight line. There will be zigs and zags, ups and downs.

At the top of the agenda, trade irritants like the fentanyl-related tariffs and the levies on Canadian steel, aluminum and autos. The country is also trying to avoid Trump's so-called reciprocal tariffs. Everett Eisenstadt worked as Trump's economic advisor in the first term. He says securing an invitation to the White House so soon after Carney's election is a positive development. It's unlikely that the relationship will be sorted out within a single meeting, but it's certainly a good start.

There are signs things are moving in the right direction. While Trump labeled Justin Trudeau the governor, he's calling Carney a nice gentleman. JP Tasker, CBC News, Ottawa. And President Trump has just announced his latest target for tariffs, movies. Posting on Truth Social tonight, Trump says he's authorizing a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the U.S. It's unclear how that might affect Canada's film industry. In rural Nova Scotia, massive search continues tonight for two missing children. Jack Sullivan is four years old, his sister Lily is six. They

vanished Friday morning. As Philip Lee Shanock reports, they may have wandered off into the brush. This is a very stressful time for everyone here, including the family. RCMP Staff Sergeant Curtis McKinnon says search and rescue teams from around the province responded to the call for help and that there had been a hopeful sign. There was at one point a possible footprint identified based on that the searchers have now started doing grid searches around that area. But he says there's still no sign of Lily Sullivan and her brother Jack Sullivan, volunteer search manager Amy Hansen says conditions are challenging. It's very thick

It's very hard going like sometimes even the police canines and stuff are having trouble getting through some of the brush Hansen says they're using predictive technology based on what they know about how lost people behave Survivability by a lost person behavior is actually fairly good for children. It was wet last night but it wasn't super cold. Hundreds of ground searchers, police dogs, drones and helicopters with infrared cameras have been deployed. Philippe Chanox, CBC News, Toronto. For the Dutch, May 4th is a day to honour the soldiers and civilians killed during the

Second World War. And on this day they gathered in the cemetery Fourth is a day to honour the soldiers and civilians killed during the Second World War, and on this day they gathered in the cemetery, where many of the Canadian soldiers who fought to free them are buried, Chris Brown reports. On this day of remembrance in the Netherlands, a major ceremony was held in a Canadian cemetery, where many of the young soldiers killed in the final months of the Second World War are buried. About 5,000 visitors and locals sat in chairs organized around the headstones, including nine of the 22 Canadian veterans of the Second World War who made this long trip.

With the youngest 96 and the oldest 105, some of them fought in the battles that liberated the country. The event chairwoman Leanne Jongsma said their presence was an honour. We are deeply moved that so many veterans are present as well. 102-year-old George Brewster from Duncan, BC, flew Spitfire missions over occupied Europe and the Netherlands. You meet people and realize how they remember. And I think that remembrance is a thing that is etched in my mind.

Chris Brown, CBC News in Holton. In the Stanley Cup Hockey Playoffs, it's do or die tonight for the Winnipeg Jets. They're facing the St. Louis Blues in Game 7 of their first round series. Right now, the Blues are ahead of the J Jets 3-1 in the third period. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Herland.
