The World This Hour for 2025/06/05 at 19:00 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 Julianne Hazelwood. Prime Minister Mark Carney has described talks between Canada and the US as intensive. Now it turns out some of those talks have been directly between Carney and US President Donald Trump. Carina 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. 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 US 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 $7 billion deficit is a huge increase from $2.3 billion in March. Statistics Canada says flowing trade with the

U.S. is behind that increase. April was the first month of tariffs between Canada and the U.S. The weather is a challenge in fighting wildfires in Saskatchewan. There hasn't been any significant rain in some areas but officials have lifted the evacuation order in one northern community. Alexander Silberman is there. In Wayaquin, Saskatchewan, helicopters are working around the clock to battle wildfires from the air as crews race to put out hot spots.

It used to be nice out here actually. There's a lot of green. There's nothing but black around here now. Firefighter Jordan Lavallee helped save the hamlet from widespread damage. The forest around it charred. But homes, including the one he grew up in, are safe. It got pretty close actually. Just down the road road it's right on the right on the perimeter it's maybe five feet in and then it's all burned up there. So it stopped feet away from the edge of town? Yeah. More than 10,000 people have now been forced to evacuate in Saskatchewan with 27 active

wildfires. The area burned is nearly double the size of Prince Edward Island. Alexander Silberman, CBC News, Wayaquin, Saskatchewan. An infant infected with measles has died in Ontario. The province's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Kieran Morse, says the infant contracted the virus before birth from the mother. The mother had not received a measles vaccine. Morse says the birth was premature and the baby faced other serious medical complications

unrelated to the virus. Ontario has reported more than 2,000 cases of measles since the outbreak began in October. 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 flameout. 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 US 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'll 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. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Juliane Hazelwood.
