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. Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with Canada's first ministers next month. The Council of the Federation will gather in Saskatoon on June 2nd. Earlier today, Carney held a call with Canada's premier, his first since the election, and his meeting with US President Donald Trump yesterday. Ontario's Premier Doug Ford was on the call and delivered this assessment. We all congratulated him on his victory, but also congratulated him on how well he did yesterday and the restraint he showed. I don't think I'd have

the restraint that he had yesterday to be very frank, but in saying that, I think it's a good start on a new relationship. Ford says he also urged Carney to give what he called more love to Saskatchewan and Alberta. He pointed out their rocky relationship with previous Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. RCMPs say they're scaling back the search for two missing children in northeastern Nova Scotia. This after six days of looking for six-year-old Lily Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack. Nikola Seggon has more. Down a rainy dirt road in Nova Scotia's rural Pictou County, RCMP announced they're scaling back the ground

search and rescue operation for the two young children missing since Friday. Curtis McKinnon is a staff sergeant with the RCMP. He says officers will be searching areas that have already been covered to make sure no clues were missed. And when transitioning from an active search to a scaled back search, the probability of survival is taken into consideration. Searchers have meticulously combed four square kilometers around the children's home in Lansdowne Station, about 20 kilometers from the nearest town. RCMP initially said they believe the children just wandered off,

but are now saying it's being treated as suspicious and the major crimes unit has been involved since Saturday. Investigators say they haven't seen a trace of the kids in the woods except a lone boot print days ago. Nicola Sagan, CBC News, Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia. Three hours after the doors closed on the Sistine Chapel, black smoke emerged from the Vatican chimney. That means a new pope has not been chosen. There needs to be at least two-thirds majority among the 133 Cardinals who are voting. Juanita Taylor is at the Vatican. Well black smoke billowed out at about 9 p.m. local time. You know people had been

waiting all day for this moment. People were saying that they were feeling curious and intrigued yet they were patient. You know, the challenges in this conclave are many. One Vatican observer said that this conclave could prove to be unpredictable, especially with 133 voting cardinals. Many of them know fewer than a dozen, so they'll need time to get to know each other, but more importantly to assess the frontrunners. Now, Pope Francis didn't have many gatherings of cardinals so there were

fewer occasions for them to meet compared to a previous Pope so they are largely strangers and especially those who come from the peripheries. Now how long will it be until a new Pope is elected? Well that's anybody's best guess. The CBC's Juanita Taylor at the Vatican. The US Federal Reserve is keeping its benchmark interest rate unchanged a third time in a row. This comes amid heightened economic uncertainty brought on by President Donald Trump's global tariffs. In his statement the Fed acknowledged that the labor market was still solid but said that risks of higher unemployment and

higher inflation have risen. The decision will keep interest rates at 4.3 percent after a series of cuts at the end of last year. 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 a Gaza City suburb housing displaced people. Fifteen people died as a result.

Israel says terrorists use the school as a command center. And that is your World This Hour. You can listen to us wherever. You get your podcasts updated every hour, seven days a week. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
