The World This Hour for 2025/06/02 at 12:00 EDT

We learned about Leo Schofield's fight for innocence in season one of Bone Valley. Now, he and author Gilbert King are back with season two. This time, they dig deeper into the history of the man who confessed to killing Leo's wife. Do I want to talk to him? Do I really forgive him? This is the man that murdered my wife, and I've been through hell on earth because of it. I'm Kathleen Goltar, and this week on Crime Story, how Leo Schofield chose to forgive the man who destroyed his life.

Find Crime Story wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. We go first to the First Minister's meeting underway in Saskatoon. Here is Prime Minister Mark Carney. The coming weeks and months will be critical to turn the momentum that's been created by you around this table that the federal government is looking to add to translate that momentum, those ideas into action. But I'm very confident with the experience, the expertise,

the goodwill and the support of Canadians that we will do just that. Reporter- Carney says with the ongoing tariff threats from the United States, he is committed to making fundamental changes to the Canadian economy. That includes, among other things, opening up interprovincial trade and fast-tracking natural resource projects. And Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says that should put her province's oil sector first in line. Any of the projects you will see on the ultimate list, I will tell you that a bitumen pipeline will be by far the greatest benefit to all of Canada.

There's $9 trillion worth of value in discoverable and achievable reserves right now. And so why would you leave that in the ground? No other country in the world would and we shouldn't either. For Mark Carney, this is the first face-to-face meeting with the Premier since he became Prime Minister. In London, Ontario, the sexual assault trial of five former members of Canada's World Junior Hockey Team has adjourned until Monday. That's when closing submissions will begin. Defense lawyers representing the accused closed their case today, opting not to call two remaining players who have yet to testify. It's believed closing submissions will take anywhere from two

to three days. As of today, there are more than 25,000 people across the Prairie provinces forced from their home due to wildfires. More than 170 blazes are currently burning throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, with the evacuees being forced to take refuge in community centers, arenas, or hotels across the provinces and beyond. And both Manitoba and Saskatchewan remain in province-wide states of emergency. The latest round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine has wrapped up in Istanbul with no agreement in sight to end the fighting.

Here is Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy. The key to lasting peace is clear. The aggressor must not receive any reward for war. Putin must get nothing that would justify his aggression. Any reward would only show him that war pays off. There are ongoing discussions underway regarding future prisoner exchanges, and there are reports Ukraine has given Russia a list of children they want returned as part of a peace agreement. Since the start of the war, hundreds of children have been forcibly removed from Ukraine by

Russian forces. The FBI in Boulder, Colorado is calling it a targeted act of terror. At least eight people were injured yesterday when a man armed with a flammable liquid and a flamethrower attacked a group of people rallying support of the Israeli hostages being held in Gaza. Here's Richard Madden. Federal and local authorities continue to investigate this attack that happened during an afternoon march yesterday in support for the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza. Now a few dozen people were peacefully walking down a busy pedestrian mall in

Boulder, Colorado when a man allegedly started yelling at them and then tossed bottles filled with some kind of liquid. Here's the FBI's Mark McCallick. Witnesses are reporting that the subject used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. The suspect was heard to yell, free Palestine, during the attack. Police have identified him as 45-year-old Mohammed Salman. Reports say he's an Egyptian national who authorities believe acted alone. Now authorities say there are at least eight victims between 52 to 88 years old. One of them is a Holocaust survivor.

All are suffering very serious burns. Richard Madden, CBC News, Washington. And that is the World This Hour. Remember, you can listen to us wherever you get your podcasts. News, Washington.
