This time, they dig deeper into the history of the man who confessed to killing Leo's wife. Do I want to talk to him? Do I really forgive him?

I'm Kathleen Goltar, and this week on Crime Story, how Leo Schofield chose to forgive the man who destroyed his life. Find Crime Story wherever you get your podcasts.

From the CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Julianne Hazelwood. We begin in Los Angeles where the California National Guard has joined the LAPD to control protests. California National Guard has joined the LAPD to control protests. Those shots being fired this past hour outside a detention center. Demonstrators are angry over raids targeting suspected illegal immigrants. US President Donald Trump spoke for the first time since ordering the California National Guard into Los Angeles. Trump says it's all about law and order. Well, we're going to have troops everywhere. We're not going to let this happen to our country. California National Guard into Los Angeles. Trump says it's all about law and order.

Well, we're going to have troops everywhere. We're not going to let this happen to our country. We're not going to let our country be torn apart. Nobody's going to spit on our police officers. Nobody's going to spit on our military, which they do as a common thing. They get up to them this far away, and then they start spitting in their face.

That happens. They get hit very hard. This is the first time the Guard's been sent in since the Rodney King riots in 1992. But this time it was done over Governor Gavin Newsom's objections. Newsom calling Trump's response an overreaction. Wildfires are forcing a swift evacuation of Sandy Lake First Nation in northwestern Ontario. Flames are burning less than 10 kilometers away from the community. Dolores Kakagamic is chief of Sandy Lake First Nation in northwestern Ontario. Flames are burning less than 10 kilometers away from the community. Dolores Kakagamik is chief of Sandy Lake First Nation. She says there was a close call for workers trying to build a fire break. Just engulfed on them real fast. They were trying to help out by

creating, what do you call, those barriers and they didn't realize how fast fire would burn and then they got trapped and they pretty much got trapped in a circle but thankfully that's a big a big yard so I think that's what helped them out too. 500 residents have been moved out so far. Prime Minister Mark Carney is sending military planes and personnel to help airlift more residents. Poor air quality from the wildfires is expected to improve by tomorrow. That's according to Environment Canada. Eight provinces have been experiencing poor air quality

and reduced visibility. Environment Canada meteorologist Jean-Philippe Beguin says a low-pressure system passing through the prairies by Monday is set to bring rain for areas hit by the blazes. More than 100 wildfires are burning across Canada, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their communities. Ken McMullen is president of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs. He's urging Ottawa to establish a national agency to coordinate firefighting

efforts. A national fire administration is going to ensure better coordination, training and equipment for all firefighters across this country. There are many many other countries that have some sort of position of a fire administration within federal government. In fact, Canada will be the only country, G7, that does not have a national fire administration. McMullen says he has talk scheduled with the federal government next week about creating a national group. He says it's an important way to get resources from one part of the country to the other when wildfires encroach on communities. In Bogota, Colombia, thousands marched to show support for presidential candidate Miguel Uribe after he was shot at a campaign event yesterday. His wife says the 39-year-old conservative senator is in intensive care.

The attorney general's office says a 15-year-old was arrested. The federal government is also investigating if there were any accomplices. In Gaza. Displaced people wait for food from a charity kitchen. Paramedics in Gaza say five were killed and others were injured by Israeli forces today outside a distribution site in Rafa. The Israeli military

says troops opened fire but it first fired warning shots at the group whose soldiers considered a threat. Dozens were killed in fatal shootings at aid centers last week. And there's a new labor dispute in Canada's parcel delivery industry. 2,100 workers at DHL Express Canada have been locked out. Their union, Unifor, says the courier wants to change the driver pay system and use replacement workers before they're banned later this month. The dispute could be a speed bump for next weekend's Formula One Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. That's because DHL is responsible for delivering the racer's cars.
