The World This Hour for 2025/05/30 at 14:00 EDT

Other People's Problems was the first podcast to take you inside real-life therapy sessions. I'm Dr. Hilary McBride, and again, we're doing something new. The ketamine really broke down a lot of my barriers. This work has this sort of immediate transformational effect. Therapy Using Psychedelics is the new frontier in mental health. Come along for the trip. Other People's Problems Season 5, available now. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Julie-Ann Hazelwood. Shifting winds and an encroaching wildfire are threatening fling-flon Manitoba, and that has officials stepping up evacuation

orders. Most people left after the first call earlier this week. The rest had until noon today to get out. 84-year-old Dennis Baller didn't wait. He drove more than five hours to Saskatoon the first time he was ordered to leave. We live our little lives and we go along through our lives and we just don't expect anything like that and Mother Nature comes along and says, no, no, no, I'm wiping all that away and it goes right down to the soul. It's scary and it's confusing, especially for older people. The fire is estimated at 40,000 hectares and is less than a kilometer from the city. Flint Flawn's mayor has been calling for air support, but the smoke is too thick for water

bombers to fly over the flames. The wildfire near Church Hill Falls in Labrador is now considered held. In other words, it hasn't spread beyond existing boundaries. The fire flared up earlier this week just outside the town that's home to a massive hydroelectric power station. The flames damaged a power line and temporarily forced the closure of the Trans-Laprador Highway. One of the five former World Junior Hockey players accused of sexual assault is being crossed-examined by the Crown.

NHL goaltender Carter Hart began his defense testimony yesterday at the trial in London, Ontario. Karen Pauls has more from the courthouse. Crown attorney Megan Cunningham questioned Carter Hart on the events of what happened the night of the alleged sexual assault in June 2018. He says it was only the fifth time he had consumed alcohol and he was drunk, with no memory of periods of time. When he got the text from Michael McLeod offering three-way sex, Hart says he assumed it was

an agreed-upon plan between McLeod and the complainant known under a publication ban as EM. Hart says he was open to sex with McLeod and a woman and he went to room 209 with that hope. Once there he says he remembers EM repeatedly asking the guys in the room to have sex with her. In earlier testimony, EM says she was slapped on her buttocks so hard that she had to tell the person slapping her to stop. Hart says he has no memory of that. Hart told

court he doesn't think anyone would have done anything to hurt her and never felt things were getting out of hand. Karen Pauls, CBC News, London, Ontario. Prime Minister Mark Carney laid out his priorities in front of municipal leaders today. Carney is promising to move fast on slashing development charges to build more homes and improve public safety. Olivia Stefanovic reports. We will move from delay to delivery. A new Prime Minister setting a new relationship with Canada's municipalities. And work relentlessly to keep Canadians safe. Mark Carney says his government will soon introduce legislation to stop drugs and guns from flowing

across the Canadian border, while also hiring a thousand more RCMP officers, making bail harder to get for repeat offenders, and partnering with cities and towns to address the housing shortage. We will work with you to slash development charges in half, in half, for all multi-unit housing. And as Canada is locked in a trade war with the U.S., Kearney says he will focus on building projects of national significance, including a high-speed rail link from southwestern Ontario to Quebec City.

Taylor Swift now owns her entire catalog of music. We are never ever ever getting back together. The pop star has bought back the rights to the master recordings of her first six albums, about six years after her former record label sold her body of work to a private equity firm. Swift then began re-recording and re-releasing her earlier songs in an attempt to gain back control. In a letter to her fans today, she said,

all the music I've ever made now belongs to me. ["Never Say Never"] I've ever made now belongs to me." And that is your World Tonight. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
