The World This Hour for 2025/05/05 at 07:00 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, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. U.S. President Donald Trump continues to set the tone for his meeting this week with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Every country, almost without fail, friend and foe, has been ripping us off for years. So we're meeting with almost all of them. And at the end, I'm setting the deal. That's Trump speaking to reporters last night on Air Force One.

Carney flies to Washington today with his first meeting with Trump since the Liberals' election victory set for tomorrow. JP Tasker has more. If Canada was a state, it wouldn't cost us, it would be great. U.S. President Donald Trump is renewing his 50 first-state taunts ahead of a high-stakes meeting with Canada's newly elected prime minister. But he's ruling out the use of military force to annex the country. I don't see it with Canada. I just don't see it. I have to be honest with you.

This will never, ever happen. Mark Carney is dismissing the takeover talk and setting the bar low for Tuesday's Oval Office meeting. The two leaders will discuss trade irritants, but the Liberal government is not expecting a major breakthrough. Industry Minister Anita Onin. My hope and our hope is that this will be the continuation of a productive conversation. Canada's Conservatives are expecting more than that. Tory House Leader Andrew Scheer. He promised Canadians during the election that he would get a deal to lift the tariffs.

There are small signs the relationship may be moving in the right direction. While Trump labelled Justin Trudeau the Governor, he's calling Mark Carney a nice gentleman. JP Tasker, CBC News, Ottawa. Still with news from the Trump White House, the president is saying he has authorized the Department of Commerce to implement a 100 percent tariff on all films coming into the United States that have been produced in foreign countries. It's common for American finance movies or TV series to be filmed in countries with favorable tax incentives like Canada.

Canada's film industry is a multi-billion dollar economic sector that employs thousands of workers across the country. Now to the Netherlands where Canadian Second World War veterans are center stage as the country's victory in Europe Day celebrations continue. Chris Brown reports. I'm in the town of Wageneggen, right across from the Hotel de Verrelde, where a Canadian general accepted the surrender of Nazi German forces in the Netherlands 80 years ago on this day. And the Dutch had built an entire long weekend of freedom celebrations around

this place with the guest of honour 22 Canadian veterans of the war all between 96 and 105 years old. They've already had an incredibly busy few days attending parades in nearby Appledorn and a series of commemorations at Canadian war cemeteries. But organizers here are also focusing on the present by inviting military detachments from NATO countries to march with the veterans to underscore the importance to Europe of collective security, which of course is being tested by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and doubts over US President Donald Trump's commitment to the NATO alliance.

Chris Brown, CBC News in Wagenagin. In dramatic fashion, the Winnipeg Jets have advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Pee-yaw shoots to base! Score! Game over! Series over! That's the game and series winner last night in Winnipeg as the Jets defeated the St. Louis Blues 4-3 in double overtime in Game 7.

Adam Lowry scored the game winner to finish off a remarkable Jets comeback. Winnipeg was down 3-1 with two minutes left in the third period, but rallied to tie the game and send it into overtime. The win means the Jets advance to face Dallas in round two. Game one is set for Wednesday. As for the other Canadian teams, Toronto opens their second round series tonight against the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers and the Las Vegas Golden Knights get started tomorrow.
