Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, I'm Sarah Marshall, and there's one story from the past that I've been circling around for years now. This eight-part series traces the hidden history of the satanic panic in North America. We'll connect the dots from Victoria, BC, to the backroads of Kentucky. Satan was having a moment, the sensationalist heartthrob of our time. The Devil You Know, available now wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Stephanie Skanderas. Canada has lost its status as a measles-free country. The Public Health Agency of Canada says the demotion comes because of an outbreak that dates back to October of last year.
Starting point is 00:00:46 It's believed to have started in New Brunswick and has since spread to most other provinces. More than 5,000 people have been infected. Canada will now have to submit its plan to eliminate measles to the Pan-American health. organization. Prime Minister Mark Carney says new infrastructure projects will mean big business for Canadian workers. Carney spoke today in Fredericton. Last week's federal budget promised $70 billion in funding for infrastructure, and Carney says as much as possible of that money will go to Canadian suppliers. And in those cases, when domestic suppliers aren't available, purchasers, purchases will be required to include Canadian content or to be sourced from

He says for businesses to be considered Canadian, they'll need a presence in the country and will also need to have Canadian supply chains. At least eight people have been killed in an explosion in India's capital. It happened at one of Delhi's most recognizable monuments, which receives thousands of tourists every day. Salima Shivji has the details. The blast hit just before 7 in the evening in a crowded area,
Starting point is 00:02:05 near one of Delhi's most famous landmarks, the historic red fort. A slow-moving vehicle stopped at a red light and then the vehicle exploded, says Delhi's police commissioner Satish Golcha. At least six cars nearby also burst into flames as ambulances and firefighters rushed to the scene. I've never heard such a loud explosion in my life, this local shopkeeper says. I was knocked down three times. Local media outlets are reporting that many of the casualties died before making it to hospital.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Several others are seriously injured. What led to the car exploding is still being investigated, police say. But it's already put the country scarred by bombings blamed on militant groups in the mid-2000s once again on edge. Delhi, Mumbai, and two states neighboring the country. capital are all on high alert. Salima Shivji, CBC News, Deradun, India. The U.S. Senate is advancing a funding bill poised to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Starting point is 00:03:07 For weeks, Democrats held out on lending their support, demanding concessions from Republicans on health care. Well, last night, several Democrats sided with Senate Republicans in exchange for a future vote on extending health subsidies. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says, this does not signal the end of the Democrats' fight. We will sit down with any Republicans, any time, any place, anywhere in order to find a bipartisan path forward, but we're not down with their my way or the highway approach to governance.
Starting point is 00:03:37 That's failed the American people. The vote still has several hurdles to pass. Senate will first debate the funding bill before the House returns and adopts the deal. And U.S. President Donald Trump has hosted Syrian leader Ahmed al-Shara at the White House. Al-Sharat once had ties to al-Qaeda and had a 10 million U.S. dollar bounty on his head. Last December, he led the rebel forces that toppled Syrian President Bashar al-Assat. This meeting comes after the U.S. lifted sanctions imposed on Syria. It's the first time a Syrian head of state has visited the White House since the country gained independence from France in 1946.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Well, guess who's back? No time. It seems Canadian rockers, Randy Backman and Burton Cummings, have found some time to go touring again. The two founding members of the Guess Who have announced a cross-country tour slated for next year. It comes on the heels of them reuniting for a series of cruise ship performances. It's first time in 23 years they'll perform together. The Taken It Back tour starts May 26th. And that's the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Stephanie Skendera.
