Hugh is a rock climber, a white supremacist, a Jewish neo-Nazi, a spam king, a crypto-billionaire, and then someone killed him. It is truly a mystery. It is truly a case of who done it.

It's part of the Prime Minister's election promise to crack down on a rise in hate, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. A source says the move is in response to gunshots fired at religious institutions, mosques, and synagogues, receiving bomb threats

and violence along with harassment at places of worship. Ashley Burke has the exclusive details. When our laws repeatedly failed to protect those basic rights, we need new laws. While addressing MPs this week, Prime Minister Mark Carney signaled new legislation is coming to combat a rise in hate. All Canadians must be able to get up,

go to work, go to their church, temple, mosque, and then come home and sleep soundly at night. Now, CBC News has learned details about the plan. A source says as early as Tuesday the government could propose new intimidation and obstruction offenses under the criminal code. That could make it illegal to intend

and willfully obstruct people from accessing places of worship, schools, or community centers. Justice Minister and Attorney General Sean Fraser hinted at it yesterday. We want to add criminal provisions that would prohibit the obstruction of those facilities and the intimidation of the people seeking to use them. A source says the government also plans to propose a separate offense for anyone breaking the law while motivated by hatred. Ashley Burke, CBC News, Ottawa. Investigators have released a new video of the suspect in the fatal shooting of American activist Charlie Kirk.

Police say they're seeking the public's help in finding Kirk's killer and that the FBI has already received some 7,000 tips. Katie Simpson has more from Washington. In the panicked moments after Charlie Kirk was shot, smartphone video captured new clues. Authorities say the gunman fled, ditching his weapon, which is now in their possession. It is a high-powered bolt-action rifle. Investigators have also collected footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis. FBI director Cash Patel has now arrived in Utah with his deputy, and they've actually just released new video showing the suspect moments after the shooting took place.

The suspect is wearing all black on top of the roof. We know the suspect took a shot from an elevated position, and the suspect makes his way across the roof and then lowers himself down onto the ground, sort of jumping from the top of that one-story building before running and that eventually walking and making his way into that wooded area where police say he ditched his weapon. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. Hundreds of South Korean workers who had been detained in a U.S. immigration raid

are now back home. Their charter plane landed in Seoul where they were greeted by officials, including the South Korean president's chief of staff. More than 300 Koreans were working at a Hyundai plant in Georgia when it was raided by ICE last week. U.S. immigration officials claimed they had violated the terms of their visitor's visas. The public service is being directed to review all current and planned federal contracts. Finance Minister Francois Philippe Champagne and procurement minister Joel Lightbound won a detailed report within 45 days. Champagne says the inquiry is an effort to find cost savings.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has signaled he wants to see a reduction in government expenses. A report from the government's procurement watchdog says the current contracting system is in need of fundamental change. Prince Harry is in Ukraine on a surprise visit. He's in Kiev to support wounded military service members. The Guardian newspaper says Harry will spend time with 200 veterans and meet the Ukrainian Prime Minister. This is the second time the prince has visited Ukraine in support of his Invictus Games. And his trip coincides with a visit from British Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, who has just announced 100 new sanctions on Russia.
