The World This Hour for 2025/06/03 at 17:00 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 Stephanie Scandaris. In Saskatchewan, more than 15,000 people have fled encroaching wildfires and Premier Scott Moe says more evacuations are likely in the coming days. The biggest destruction has been in places like Dener Beach near the Manitoba border. Scott Larson has more on the developing situation. It took one house after another all the way up the street until it took ours and most of the rest of the community.

35 weeks pregnant, Brooke Kindle evacuated to Saskatoon on the weekend as wildfire tore through her northern Saskatchewan village of Dener beach and intense winds forced the last remaining essential staff and firefighters to evacuate yesterday. Thousands of people in La Ronge, nearby villages and First Nations within a 20-kilometer radius of another burning fire are also under an evacuation order. Many, including Tom Roberts, raced to get out before the fire blocked exit roads. We sat there for two hours

waiting for an opening in the fire. SaskTel says wildfires have cut off phone and internet services, including Wi-Fi, in La Ronge and areas to the north and northeast. Scott Larson, CBC News, Saskatoon. Meanwhile, the federal government has announced it'll be matching donations made to the Red Cross for people displaced by wildfires in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Those donations will be further matched by the two provinces. And the Liberal government has introduced a new bill aimed at tightening security at the Canada-U.S. border. Minister of Public Safety, Gary Anandesangari, calls it the Strong Borders Act. With this new legislation, we'll ensure Canada has the right tools to keep our borders secure, combat transnational organized crime and fentanyl, and disrupt illicit financing. The bill gives border officers new powers to examine and search exports. It also provides law enforcement agencies with new technologies to combat fentanyl trade

and illegal border crossings. Anand Sangari says the border bill aims to strengthen Canada's response to national and economic security threats and to enhance the integrity and fairness of the immigration system. He adds the legislation also includes measures that will address US concerns and will help Canada sustain its partnership with our southern neighbor. A group that advocates for air travelers is taking the federal government to court. It argues new rules surrounding passenger complaints about things like flight delays and lost luggage are unconstitutional. Erica Johnson of our Go Public team has this exclusive story. At the centre of this constitutional challenge launched by the Air Passenger

Rights Group is a change to the rules two years ago. It said most details of complaints filed with the Canadian Transportation Agency must now be kept confidential. Gabor Lukacs heads up the group that's filed the case. We believe that the way the complaint process has been set up at the Canadian Transportation Agency violates fundamental rights. Critics say passengers are at a huge disadvantage in disputes with airlines if they can't access previous cases. The only entities that benefit from this are the airlines. The lawsuit argues since the CTA is quasi-judicial, court proceedings, including documents and decisions, should be open to the public so people can see

how the rules are being applied. Erica Johnson, CBC News, Vancouver. U.S. immigration authorities have detained the wife and five children of the man accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado. 45-year-old Mohammed Solomon was arrested Sunday after 12 people were injured in a fire attack. That attack targeted members of a weekly walk calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The White House says Solomon is an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally. Federal officials say they are investigating what his family knew about any attack plans.
