The World This Hour for 2025/05/07 at 13:00 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 Julianne Hazelwood. At the Vatican, the doors of the Sistine Chapel are now closed and the process of selecting a new pope has begun. A short time earlier, cardinals took an oath of silence, part of the centuries-old ritual. 133 cardinals will debate candidates to head the Catholic Church and hold a series of votes. The deans of the College of Cardinals appealed to them, asking they put aside their own interests and select a pope to unify the church. All eyes are now on the chimney above the chapel that will herald the result of the first vote. Cross examination continues at a sexual assault trial in London, Ontario. Lawyers for the five accused hockey players are questioning

the complainant about the fateful night and her relationships. Alicia Assange has the latest. No more silence, no more fear. Justice for survivors here. Carter Hart was the first of the five accused hockey players to walk into the courthouse, again walking by a group of EM supporters with signs saying that they stand with the complainant, who is facing cross-examination for the third day in a row, this time from former Philadelphia Flyers goalie, Carter Hart's attorney, Megan Savard. She was drilling down on inconsistencies in the statements EM initially gave police and

the statement she gave to Hockey Canada in 2022, questioning the credibility of her testimony. Savard also asked her about her boyfriend at the time. EM says she considered the initial sexual encounter with McCloud as cheating. But she insists what allegedly happened in the hotel room later with the other men wasn't consensual. Ali Chyasson, CBC News, London, Ontario. Wildfires across Alberta have prompted emergency alerts and evacuation orders for several communities northeast and west of Edmonton. Blowing winds fanned the fires yesterday afternoon, causing the flames to grow rapidly.

The village of Boyle was evacuated overnight as the fire moved toward the community. It's about 150 kilometers northeast of Edmonton. Several neighboring communities have also been partially evacuated, and a few others are on alert as residents are told to be prepared to leave at a moment's notice. Officials warn that the risk of fire continues to be high across much of the province as hot, dry and windy conditions are expected to persist throughout the week. Pakistan is pledging to retaliate for what it calls an act of war. India carried out multiple missile strikes overnight on Pakistani territory, claiming it was targeting terrorist hideouts.

Hisham Garg reports 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 Pehelgaum 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. In Gaza City, grief is on full display as Palestinians bid farewell to their loved ones. Medics there say 23 people were killed in an Israeli strike near a restaurant and market. And the dead include women and children. That strike comes just hours after two others targeted a school in Gaza City suburb housing displaced people. 15 people

died as a result. Israel says terrorists use the school as a command center. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
