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. We begin in Manitoba, just one of the provinces fighting wildfires. Right now there are 28 burning, many of them out of control and threatening homes and communities. Caroline Bargout has the latest. This fire is a monster. The winds have shifted in northern Manitoba and that has town officials in Snow Lake concerned. A 300,000 hectare wildfire that started in Saskatchewan has been threatening a number of communities in this province. And now it's moving closer to Snow Lake. On Friday, the town declared a local state of emergency,

telling all 1,100 residents they had to leave. Jody Cawkel is the town's emergency coordinator. If you're looking at it from a map perspective, it's coming in basically on three sides. Firefighters and municipal workers are staying behind to spray water on wooded areas in hopes of keeping them from becoming fuel for the fire if it gets this far.

In Gaza, people searched through rubble after the Saba region was hit by airstrikes. At least 15 were killed in the attack and 50 were wounded, say local health authorities. The Israeli military did not comment on the attacks but it later warned people to evacuate a nearby district saying it would strike there. Gazan officials estimate at least 45 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes today. Kyiv is accusing Moscow of playing dirty games after overnight Russian missile and bomb strikes on Kharkiv left three people dead and more than 20 injured. The attack comes as Ukraine denies Russian allegations its indefinitely suspended prisoner swaps. Dominic Vallaitis explains.

At Monday's second round of peace talks in Turkey, Russia and Ukraine agreed to swap more prisoners and return the bodies of 12,000 dead soldiers. With prisoner lists already exchanged, it was hoped the process would start this weekend. But the agreement now appears to be on hold, with Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky claiming Kiev has postponed the exchanges indefinitely. Ukrainian officials have denied the accusation and told Moscow to stop playing dirty games and return to constructive work. The dispute comes just hours after Russia launched its biggest-ever drone attack on

Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv. Emergency services say at least three people were killed and more than 20 others injured in those strikes. Among them a one-month-old baby and a 14 year old girl. Dominic Vlaitas for CBC News. Riga Latvia. Donald Trump is warning Elon Musk he'll face serious consequences if he funds Democratic candidates. But Trump reportedly didn't explain what the consequences would be. That's according to NBC News, which says it interviewed Trump by phone. The US president

said this week canceling Musk's government contracts would be a good way to save billions of dollars. Trump also told NBC News that Musk was disrespectful to the office of the president. The remark follows a blistering exchange of social media posts. In London. This house is painted this color because of the number of times that I stepped out of my front door to find somebody getting changed in my porch. Notting Hill residents are finding a creative way to deter crowds from their colorful neighborhood. They're painting their houses black so tourists don't take photos outside their front doors.

People tend to want to sit on the steps and eat their sandwiches there. So you can't get out of the house. Notting Hill is one of London's most popular districts, with visitors flocking there to see pastel-coloured houses. But after tourists have climbed their railings and tried to come inside their homes, locals are writing letters to their neighbours asking them to pick up a paintbrush too. The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, is coming to Canada later this month. He'll be in PEI inspecting the troops of the Prince Edward Island Regiment on June 25th. Edward is Colonel-in-Chief.

Queen Elizabeth's youngest son will also be in Toronto on the 28th, then in Ottawa for Canada Day celebrations. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
