The World This Hour for 2025/06/06 at 18:00 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. The Liberal government has tabled a bill to knock down barriers to inter-provincial trade and labor. Prime Minister Mark Carney outlined its goals. A bill that is laser-focused on building a stronger, more competitive, and a more resilient Canadian economy that works for all Canadians. It's our contribution to a broader effort

with all the provinces and territories to eliminate the barriers that have held our country back for far too long. Karni estimates those barriers are costing Canadians as much as $200 billion a year. The bill will also speed up approvals for infrastructure projects that are considered in the national interest. The legislation was one of Karni's key election campaign promises. The Prime Minister has invited India's leader to

attend the G7 summit in Alberta. The decision to welcome Narendra Modi later this month comes after a tumultuous few years between the countries. Marina von Stackelberg reports. There are certain countries that should be at the table for those discussions. Mark Carney defending his decision to invite India Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7. India, the fifth largest economy in the world, effectively the most populous country in the world. This will be Modi's first visit since the RCMP accused his government of orchestrating widespread violence on Canadian soil, including coercion, extortion and murder.

That includes the targeted shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijer. The prominent Sikh activist was assassinated in B.C. two years ago. India has denied the allegations. We have now agreed, importantly, to continue law enforcement, to law enforcement dialogue. The World's Sick Organization calls Carney's decision dangerous and a betrayal of core Canadian values. Marina von Stackelberg, CBC News, Ottawa. In Saskatchewan, two people have now been charged with setting wildfires. Premier Scott Moe confirming today one of them is linked to the blaze near LaRange,

which has forced thousands of people from their homes. Many if not virtually all of the fires that we're dealing with in Saskatchewan are although not intentionally are human caused. And some of those have been intentionally human caused. Some people fleeing wildfires in Saskatchewan and Manitoba are finding a struggle to access help. Governments are funding the Red Cross to get services to those in need, but many evacuees say the help of neighbours is more readily available in a chaotic situation. Alexander Silberman reports.

She wants it like up to here and it's going to be her first haircut. Malachi Linklater and her daughter are in line for haircuts at a Prince Albert evacuation centre run by volunteers. That offers everything from warm meals to bouncy castles. But Linklater and her family say accessing assistance through the Red Cross is more challenging. The Red Cross is just pretty much register and you're on your own. In Saskatchewan and Manitoba, more than 30,000 people have fled their homes in a little over

a week. Kim McLean is with the Red Cross. The first few days of these things are always, you know, hectic, crazy, really up and down and all over the place. The organization says it's working to improve, playing catch-up, in a situation that has changed at the speed of wildfire. Alexander Silberman, CBC News, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the opposition's claims that his

government has been arming local militias in Gaza. Netanyahu says the weapons are sent to clans who oppose Hamas. He insists there's nothing wrong with that and the move is saving lives of Israeli soldiers. Former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman calls the tactic complete madness. He says the guns are sent to what he calls the equivalent of ISIS in Gaza and there is no guarantee those groups won't turn the weapons against Israel. And that is your World This Hour.
