The World This Hour for 2025/05/05 at 08:00 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. With Canada's sacrifice center stage, the Netherlands is marking the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day. That's a scene this hour in the city of Wagenhagen, a military parade underway honoring the memory of those who fought to liberate the Netherlands from Nazi Germany in the Second World War. Canada played a key role in the liberation. In fact, it was Canada that accepted Germany's surrender 80 years ago. Today, a Canadian delegation headed up by Governor-General Mary Simon is on hand for a series of ongoing memorial ceremonies.

Included in that delegation are 21 Canadian Second World War veterans. Tonight joined CBC radio host Nala Ayaad and John Northcott as they bring you special coverage of today's remembrance services. It gets underway at 9 p.m. on CBC radio and on the CBC News app. It's the issue Mark Carney and the Liberals put at the forefront of their federal election campaign. It's Canada-U.S. relations. And the Prime Minister is flying to Washington today to prepare for tomorrow's face-to-face White House meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Janice McGregor reports.

When you have a U.S. president who's been bragging to reporters about having swayed Canada's election, job one for the Prime Minister elected in that vote automatically becomes reasserting Canada's sovereignty, which sets up a tension heading into these talks. Carney laid out his expectation that solutions might take a while. As urgent as it is to resolve tariff uncertainty,

Canada may be in a stronger position in a longer negotiation that stretches closer to the US midterm elections, when voices in Congress or dismal public opinion polling could be more influential. Beyond this first meeting, Carney is going to be hosting G7 leaders in Kinnunaskis, Alberta in just a few weeks, and yet it is very unclear what role the U.S. might be playing in that agenda. It's possible his conversation with Trump tomorrow is also going to include more than

just Canada's bilateral concerns. Janice McGregor, 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. Canada's film industry is a multi-billion dollar economic sector that employs thousands of workers across the country.

The RCMP is saying there's still no sign of two young children missing since Friday when it's believed they wandered away from a home in rural northeastern Nova Scotia. Police say six-year-old Lily and four-year-old Jack Sullivan were last seen around 10 a.m. Friday in Lansdowne Station. The search effort includes volunteers and officers from multiple agencies, police dogs and a provincial helicopter and drones. With events planned across the country today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. For some it's about remembering lost loved ones, but it's also about recognizing

ongoing issues. Sarah Levitt has more. This is definitely an ongoing issue. For Jamie Blackmore said the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is more than just about remembering. The artist is behind the other name for May 5th, Red Dress Day, after her art installation showing hanging red dresses representing those missing or murdered. I think that Indigenous women are, you know, targeted. This year, Black Marseille has reimagined her art installation on display at Winnipeg's Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

For the Ganaway Mananak team, May 5th is about making people aware of ongoing issues. They've spent the past few months speaking with Manitoba Indigenous communities with the goal of implementing a red dress alert system for the province. It would be designed to alert the public to a reported missing Indigenous women, girl or two-spirit person. Sarah Levitt, CBC News, Montreal. And that is the World This Hour.
