I'm Joshua Jackson, and I'm returning for the Audible original series, Oracle, Season 3, Murder at the Grandview. Six forty-somethings took a boat out a few days ago. One of them was found dead. The hotel, the island, something wasn't right about it. Psychic agent Nate Russo is back on the case, and you know when Nate's killer instincts are required, anything's possible.

This world's gonna eat you alive. Listen to Oracle Season 3, Murder at the Grandview, now on Audible. From CBC News, the world is sour. I'm Neil Kumar. At least 50 people are dead due to catastrophic flooding in central Texas. Authorities are still racing to find victims,

including 27 people from Camp Mystic, a girls summer camp in Kerr County. Steve Futterman reports. In Texas, they are trying to simply grasp the enormity of the tragedy. The flash flood came without warning. Rain was predicted, but not this much and not nearly this fast. Officials estimate the Guadalupe River rose nearly 8 meters in just 45 minutes. Hundreds of people were trapped, including those attending a Christian summer camp for girls. Pictures show what's left of Camp Mystic. Items inside the camp torn, tossed and scattered. Virtually everything in the river's path was no match. Vehicles, trees and even some homes

were simply thrown into the flood waters. There have been stories of people barely finding a way to survive. U.S. President Donald Trump has been following the events. We're working with the governor. We're working with the governor. It's a terrible thing. Federal, state and local officials are on the scene doing what they can. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles. Meantime, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, says that rescue teams will remain relentless as they continue to search

for survivors. There's a need for speed. Not just every hour, every minute counts, which is why there's people in the air, people in the water, people on the ground right now, because they're looking to save every last slide and we will not give up that effort. Crews are combing through the Guadalupe River. Governor Abbott also signed an expanded disaster declaration to get more assistance with the ongoing search efforts. It's been more than a week since an eight-year-old girl was brutally injured in a suspected wildfire attack in eastern Ontario.

Police have yet to determine exactly what happened, but they are now looking for a potential witness. Meanwhile, people living in the area are being asked to continue to keep their young kids inside or under close watch. Nicole Williams reports. I think it's resulting in an increase of frustration and maybe some fear. Joseph Fiorentino is a pastor in Quadville, Ontario. It's where an eight-year-old girl had first gone missing on Monday afternoon two weeks

ago, then was found in the middle of the night with life-threatening injuries. She was airlifted two hours east to the Children's Hospital in Ottawa, where she remains in serious but stable condition. Ever since, people in the area have been left to wonder exactly what happened. Acting Staff Sergeant Jeff Delgadis says they're looking for a man in his 60s riding a motorcycle in the area the day of the incident. If he was a witness to the incident, it may help us identify what the cause of the injuries were. He's not under investigation, but police believe he may be able to help piece together the puzzle of that day. Nicole Williams, CBC News, Ottawa.

When you're spending time outside this summer, remember to wear sunscreen, even if you can't see the sun. That's the message from Memorial University Professor Atanu Sarkar in Newfoundland He's a professor of environmental and occupational health who says too many people still believe the sun's UV rays are blocked by cloud and fog It is not that We are protected by virtue of our location and the weather in fact Though the even a sunny day we have a lot of UV exposure, but even if it is not very thick fog or cloud, even a thin cloud, it doesn't give any protection. Sarkar also says a study shows skin cancer cases rose by 300% across Newfoundland between

2007 and 2015. Southern Ontario is under its second heat warning of the summer. Environment Canada is forecasting the high to reach between 31 and 33 degrees Celsius for Sunday. The heat is expected to break in the evening. And that is your World is Sour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Coomar.
