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. India has carried out multiple missile strikes on Pakistani territory. Pakistan is reportedly responding with shelling of its own, and with the United Nations urging restraint, more than 31 people are reported dead. Ishan Garg has the latest now from New Delhi. Indian missiles hit nine locations in Pakistani territory. Five of them in Pakistan administered Kashmir and four in mainland Pakistan.

Indian officials say all of the targets were terrorist hideouts. And in what's being called India's biggest counter-terrorism offensive, officials say they have responded to the Pahelgaum attack that killed at least 26 people two weeks ago. An attack, India says, was backed by Islamabad. India exercised its right to respond and preempt as well as deter more such cross-border attacks. That's India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri saying India ensured no civilian or military properties were hit. Pakistan is vowing to respond to what it calls an act of war. Both sides are exchanging gunfire and firing projectiles. Asian and French airlines are diverting and in some cases cancelling flights to avoid the region's

airspace. Ishan Kirk for CBC News, New Delhi. After his visit yesterday to the White House, Prime Minister Mark Carney is back in Ottawa and is scheduled today to meet with the premiers. And it appears he'll be suggesting that a revised Canada-U.S. trade deal could be the key to limiting the Trump administration's tariff campaign. Peter Armstrong reports. Thank you very much, everybody. It's a great honor to have Prime Minister Mark Carney.

There was a subtle but important message in yesterday's meeting between Donald Trump and Mark Carney. No, it was actually very effective and it's still very effective but people have to follow it. Goldie Heider, president to the Business Council of Canada, says he's been telling businesses that the path through the trade war lies within the confines of the Canada, U.S. Mexico free trade deal. And I think the president has opened a wide open door and we need to drive through it. Heider says Carney and Trump are set to meet in person again at the G7 summit in Cananascus, Alberta in June. Why not, he says, invite Mexico's president and use CUSMA as a way of resetting the trade relationship and jump-starting negotiations to end the trade war.

No phones or cell phone reception or contact with the outside world, just ballots, prayer, and the pressure of history. This conclave is unlike any before. With 133 cardinal electors, men only, and under 80,

it's the biggest in history. It's also the most geographically diverse. The late Pope Francis wanted a church from what he called the peripheries, and those he made cardinals reflect that desire. They come from distant places that never before had a vote. Brunei, South Sudan, Mongolia. Italy's top Vatican diplomat, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, is considered a front runner, with a position that gives him global visibility. So, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, is considered a frontrunner with a position that gives him global visibility. So is Cardinal Luis Tagle of the Philippines, charismatic, multilingual, and often seen as the Asian Francis. But observers warn with Cardinal's divided, distant, and

unfamiliar any outcome is possible. Megan Williams, CBC News, The Vatican. It's that time of the year when Canada's emergency public alert system carries out its annual national test. The alert ready system with its distinctive drone will be broadcast on TV, radio and most wireless devices. Each province or territory, except for Quebec, has a specific test time today that'll range from morning to afternoon. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
