The World This Hour for 2025/07/15 at 21:00 EDT

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, From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Neal Herland. One man has been arrested after allegedly hijacking a small plane from the Victoria Flying Club and entering airspace near the Vancouver airport. At one point all planes on the ground were stopped. The CBC's Liam Britton reports from the scene. Things are starting to return to normal here at the international departures area. A lot of folks just lining up for their flights. But it was in the skies above YVR that something very unexpected happened when police say a small airplane, a Cessna 172, a very common training and hobbyist plane was hijacked allegedly from the area around Vancouver Island. That happened around 10 after 1 this afternoon Pacific time.

And they say that from there it went to YVR airport and the airport says around 1.30 they were informed by NAV Canada about the security incident and basically a ground stop was ordered and that's basically a complete halt to aircraft traffic. Police say at around 1.45 the passenger of this plane was arrested, the sole occupant of the plane. The police basically in an unusual chase situation pursuing this small airplane along the runway. So nine planes were diverted from YVR this afternoon going as far afield as Calgary, Edmonton, Seattle. The CBC's Liam Britton at the Vancouver Airport. A Calgary police officer is

facing multiple murder charges in connection with the May 2023 shooting. Investigators say an officer opened fire on a stolen van. Two people in the van were killed. Constable Craig Stothert is charged with two counts of second-degree murder. For the first time, Prime Minister Mark Carney is acknowledging that a new trade deal with the U.S. could include tariffs. It comes as Carney met with his cabinet today in response to President Donald Trump's threat of a 35% tariff set for August 1st. Evan Dyer has more. We need to recognize that the commercial landscape globally has changed. Prime Minister Mark Carney today seemed to suggest that the goal of tariff free trade with the US might not be attainable with Donald

Trump in office, saying there isn't much evidence at this point of agreements, understandings or negotiations with the Americans for any country, any jurisdiction, to have a tariff-free agreement. Indeed, the deals Trump has reached with other countries all include baseline tariffs supplied across the board. Catherine Cobb then heads the Canadian Steel Producers Association. Unfortunately, I think he's being realistic. I would agree we're not seeing a lot of evidence at this moment in time of the U.S. president's, you know, willingness to proceed without tariffs on anybody. While neither side has said much about those negotiations, the Canadian side is clearly lowering expectations.

Evan Dyer, CBC News, Ottawa. Canada's inflation rate rose in June to 1.9 percent. Stats Canada says the increase is mainly due to higher prices for passenger vehicles both used and new. More reaction is coming in to U.S. President Donald Trump's new deadline for the Kremlin and a new weapons deal for NATO. But as Briar Stewart reports, there's skepticism on the front lines.

The last couple months have been tough, says a 29-year-old Ukrainian soldier who only wanted to be identified as Ruslan. He says Donald Trump's announcement about more U.S. weapons for Ukraine is good news, but he's skeptical about the president's threat to impose tariffs if Russia doesn't agree to a ceasefire within 50 days. Maybe after 50 days there will be another 30 days and then another 20, he says. On Monday Trump announced that the US would sell NATO weapons to give to Ukraine, but details are scant. Trump says that more Patriot missile defense systems will be headed to Kiev, but it's

not clear when or how many. The U.S. president has threatened to impose secondary sanctions on Moscow's trading partners, which import vast quantities of Russian oil. But he won't do that right away. And when asked by reporters why, he suggested he could change his mind again. Briar Stewart, CBC News, London. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Herland.
