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 Pep Philpott. Donald Trump's latest tariff threat could deal a major blow to the Canadian film industry. The U.S. President is planning to slap a 100% tariff on films produced internationally. Anissa Darius Moore. Helm work us out of here. On it.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds might have to warp on out of Canada if threatened tariffs come through. The show was shot in Toronto with Canadian crew members. If the latest Donald Trump threat comes through, that would make it more expensive. There aren't any details yet, but there are concerns. It would have a devastating impact. Charlie Kyle is a professor at the University of Toronto's Cinema Studies Institute. He says most of the economic activity in the film and TV sector here are either productions

or co-productions for US companies. So if a tariff made it more expensive for them to shoot in Canada... Not only would it slow down production considerably, but it would also have knock-on effects, so that you would have unemployed people in that sector not having the same kind of buying power they had because they're not working. The White House, though, has told The Hollywood Reporter

there haven't been any final decisions made on foreign film tariffs. And he's had our CBC News, Calgary. the Hollywood Reporter, there haven't been any final decisions made on foreign film tariffs.

This is Carney's first international trip and his first meeting with Trump since the Liberals won last week's election. Amnesty International wants Canada to leave the safe third country agreement. The group says that's because human rights abuses have increased under President Donald Trump.

Rafi Boujikanean has more. An asylum seeker could be literally disappeared. Amnesty International's US Executive Director Paul O'Brien rattling off a list of things that have changed in his country since President Donald Trump's inauguration in January. A legal resident who was simply protesting rights could be detained. Amnesty's push for Canada to leave the safe third country agreement it has with the US is not new, but O'Brien says it is now all the more urgent. The agreement forces refugee claimants to make their requests in the country where they

first arrive, based on the idea that both countries offer the same protection for them. It's why Ottawa turns away most asylum seekers who try to come here from the states at land border crossings. But the criticism that the US is no longer safe for seekers is not just from amnesty. It's also coming from Democrat lawmakers as the Trump administration has revoked temporary status to hundreds of thousands of migrants. Rafi Bajikani on CBC News, Ottawa. At the sexual assault trial of five former World Junior Hockey players in London, Ontario, the complainant testified for a second day. The woman, known as EM, says she cried and felt physically sick during the alleged assault. In June 2018, she met player Michael McLeod at a bar and had

consensual sex with him. What followed, with more players entering the room, is the focus of this trial. The jury had previously been presented video evidence of EM that evening, saying, quote, it was all consensual. E.M. testified the videos were not a reflection of how she felt. All five men have pleaded not guilty. The Manitoba government says indigenous families who have lost loved ones will soon be able to apply for special funding. The money is to help them pay for search efforts, attend court proceedings or seek opportunities for healing. Sandra De La Ronde is the executive director

of Gigan Ganaywe, one of five Manitoba organizations handling family applications. I think it will make a difference for families that are grieving. To be able to do things like have a ceremony to put up a headstone for their loved ones. Either to maybe further their education and have their tuition paid for.
