The World This Hour for 2025/06/05 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 Juliane Hazelwood. Prime Minister Mark Carney has described talks between Canada and the U.S. as intensive. Now it turns out some of those talks have been directly between Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump. Karina Roman reports. Sources familiar with the talks tell CBC that Mark Carney and Donald Trump have had a few evening phone calls

and exchanged text messages since meeting in the Oval Office a month ago. Industry Minister Melanie Jolie. It's normal that at the same time that this trade war has taken place. Jolie says it's normal in a trade war for the leaders to talk directly. Ottawa wants a deal on tariffs before the G7, which is two weeks away. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Canada shouldn't wait that long to retaliate with 50 percent tariffs of its own on U.S. steel and aluminum. Let's just all hope they get a deal, but if they don't, we have to come out guns blazing.

Steel industry CEOs and workers met with MPs and ministers Thursday, arguing for retaliatory tariffs of 50% now, regardless of the stage of talks. Carina Roman, CBC News, Ottawa. Canada posted its largest trade deficit ever in April. The more than seven billion dollar deficit is a huge increase from 2.3 billion dollars in March. Statistics Canada says slowing trade with the U.S. is behind the increase. April was the first full month of tariffs between Canada and the U.S. Exports to the U.S US fell by more than 15 percent and the imports decreased as well. A feud between the President of the United States and the richest man in

the world is blowing up. It's taking place in Donald Trump's Oval Office and on Elon Musk's social media site. Steve Futterman has more on the flame out. At one time it seemed like a political love match made in heaven. He's a great gentleman. He's done such an unbelievable job. That was last year. Now U.S. President Donald Trump is using much different language in talking about Elon Musk. Look, Elon and I had a great relationship.

I don't know if we're well anymore. Their big disagreements focus on policies, deficit, spending and tax breaks for electric vehicles. A political divorce is a possibility. Musk is lashing out at Trump with tweets on his social media site X. In one, Musk accuses Trump of not telling the truth. He says, what an obvious lie. So sad.

And Musk says he was responsible for Trump's White House victory last year, saying, without me, Trump would have lost the election. This once adoring political coupling is on the rocks and facing possible, irreconcilable differences. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles. The Trump administration is slapping sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court. The judges are involved in the tribunal's investigation into alleged war crimes by Israel in Gaza. Washington calls the investigation an abuse of power and infringement on the sovereignty

of the U.S. and its ally Israel. The court says the sanctions are an attempt to undermine its independence. The weather over the last couple of days has improved our ability to get some pretty good progress done on these fires. Kristen Hayward is with the Manitoba Wildfire Service. She says cooler temperatures and higher humidity are helping to combat wildfires in the province. The fires have forced more than 17,000 people from their homes in Manitoba alone. Fifteen communities in the province are under mandatory evacuation orders. Another three are under voluntary evacuation. Premier Wapkanu says the

province has reserved some hotel rooms for people fleeing the fires. The uncertainty we have right now is how long is this going to last and so that's why we have done this cost sharing matching donation thing with the federal government towards the Red Cross because people have met left communities like Pimichigamack, Flint Flawn, Pucketawag, and Snow Lake and many others to task we act. But how long are they going to be out of their homes? Canoe says the province will contribute $15 million to the Red Cross to support evacuees

and the federal government will put in $35 million. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
