The World This Hour for 2025/05/05 at 17:00 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, 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 US president is planning to slap a 100% tariff on films produced internationally. Anissa Dari has more. Help 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. And he's had our CBC News, Calgary. And tariffs will undoubtedly be on the agenda when Mark Carney meets with Donald Trump tomorrow. The Prime Minister arrived in Washington a short time ago. 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 Boujikhanian has more. An asylum seeker could be literally disappeared. Amnesty International's U.S. 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 Bajoukani on CBC News, Ottawa. At the sexual assault trial of five former World Junior Hockey players in London, Ontario, the complainant has testified for a second day. The woman identified only 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. Commemorations are being held across Canada today, marking the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People. It's also known as Red Dress Day. Drummers gathered at sunrise in downtown Toronto. There are also rallies, ceremonies, walks and educational events being held around the country. For the last 15 years, the annual Red Dress Day has been held to honor those who've been lost to violence. Lastly, Pope Francis donated one of his Pope Mobiles to serve the children of Gaza before he died. The Vatican's charitable foundation Caritas says the vehicle will be converted into a mobile health unit outfitted with equipment for diagnosis, examination and

treatment. No word at this point on when the vehicle will be put to use. That's your World This Hour. I'm Pat Fulpott.
