The World This Hour for 2025/05/07 at 19:00 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. Prime Minister Mark Carney updated premiers today on his high stakes meeting with US President Donald Trump. While tariffs weren't lifted, provincial leaders are optimistic progress is being made. Olivia Stefanovic reports. We were all grateful that the meeting went the way that it did. B.C. Premier David Eby says First Ministers are breathing a sigh of relief. Thankful yesterday's meeting in the Oval Office didn't set back Canada-U.S. relations any further. We feel though like, you know, a good friend is in a bad relationship right now.

There are signs the relationship is on the mend. It's a great honour to have Prime Minister Mark Carney with us. The White House released a flattering video following Carney's visit with U.S. President Donald Trump. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says it's a positive sign. It's good for the country, it's good for the U.S. Carney and Trump are scheduled to meet again next month at the G7 summit in Kenanaskis, Alberta. Ahead of the high stakes discussion, the Prime Minister will meet premiers in person

on June 2nd in Saskatoon. Olivia Stefanovic, CBC News, Ottawa. Wildfire season is underway in Alberta. Hundreds of people have been told to leave their homes as fires burn in the Northeast. That includes the residents of Boyle, a village north of Edmonton. Julia Wong has the latest. Nervous. I wish that this wind would stop. It has been anxious times for Karen McKenzie. She and about 800 others were told to leave their homes in the village of Boyle as wildfire burns just a kilometer and a half from the community. It was a bit stressful. McKenzie is now at a hotel west of Boyle, processing her evacuation ordeal.

We understand that it is an extremely difficult time for everybody. Words of reassurance from Athabasca County Reef Tracy Holland. The fire is about 1,000 hectares in size and containing it will be no easy task. Colin Durko is the mayor of Boyle. So the wind has been the toughest part and the terrain. There's some heavy forest, lots of marshland. But there could be some relief on the horizon. Cooler temperatures and rain are in the forecast for Thursday. Julia Wong, CBC News, Edmonton. JLMN. Police in Newfoundland and Labrador are also evacuating some communities. There are

several fires burning on the Avalon Peninsula. The largest of them is in the Adams Cove area in Conception Bay North. Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet is weighing in on Alberta separatism. Blanchet says since Quebec hasn't successfully split from Canada, he's not the one to ask, but he still had this advice. The first idea is to define oneself as a nation. Therefore, it requires a culture of their own. And I am not certain that oil and gas qualify to define a culture. But it's theirs to decide if they want to re-vindicate the right to self-determination. It would never interfere in that. It belongs to them.

Blanchet also says the bloc will be boycotting the upcoming throne speech. He says having it read by King Charles ignores Quebec's feelings about the monarchy Pakistan says the number of dead in the overnight strikes by India has risen to 31 and it's threatening retaliation for what it's calling an act Of war India fired missiles into Pakistani controlled part of Kashmir in the early hours of the morning It says it was targeting terrorists responsible for last month's massacre of tourists in the Indian controlled portion of Kashmir. But Pakistan insists women and children are among the dead. At the Vatican, day one of deliberations to select the new next pope has ended with black smoke above the Sistine Chapel.

That means a pope wasn't chosen on the conclave's first vote. The doors of the Sistine Chapel shut tight after the Cardinals took an oath of secrecy earlier today. 133 Cardinals from all over the world are expected to hold several rounds of voting that can stretch out for several days. Once a successor to Pope Francis is chosen, there will be white smoke from the chapel's chimney. And that is your World This Hour.
