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 Stephanie Scandaris. Wildfires have now displaced nearly 30,000 people across the Prairie provinces. In both Manitoba and Saskatchewan, spaces for evacuees are quickly running out. Julia Wong reports. First time out of my town. Never really left the reserve. Niagara Falls is a far away from Cross Lake, Manitoba, where wildfires have forced many

to leave, including Stevie Muscago. With so many evacuees needing a room to stay, the demand is spilling over into neighboring provinces like Ontario. Muskego says he has no idea how long he'll be in Niagara Falls. I'm very scared for my community, for everyone. I'm still struggling over there in Winnipeg right now. Just lucky to be here, to have a spot, to have a bed, just making what I got, what we're given. Can't do much, but can you do? Manitoba Premier Wabkanu says more than 17,000 people have been moved out of northern Manitoba because of wildfires.

Julia Wong, CBC News, Edmonton. Prime Minister Mark Carney and the premiers are in Saskatoon for the First Minister's meeting. It's only the second time Saskatchewan has hosted. The last was 40 years ago.

Carney says this meeting will focus on nation-building projects and improving inter-provincial trade amid U.S. tariff threats. We're in the process of redefining our relationship with the United States, working very much in partnership around this table in terms of our priorities and how we're defining it, but also taking matters very much into our own hands. Carney says he is confident he and the premiers can translate Canada's momentum into action.
