Evan Dyer, CBC News, Ottawa. Manitoba's Premier is asking how releasing a man who was serving time for killing two women is justice. Wob Canoe is reacting to the statutory release of Sean Lamb. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the deaths of Lorne, blacksmith and Carolyn Sinclair in 2012. Lamb got out Thursday under parole board conditions. Canoe is writing that the prime minister calling for changes. It is about parole. It is about statutory release. It's about sentencing more generally. And just ensuring that if somebody takes multiple lives in our society, that they're going to be held accountable. Canoe questions how

releasing someone like Lamb contributes to the community's sense of safety. In downtown Winnipeg, dozens protested the parole board decision. An update now to a story we brought you earlier this week about pension benefits for military veterans. Tuesday, the Veterans Affairs Minister told CBC News, the federal budget included revisions to how disability pensions would be calculated. Advocates criticized the measure arguing vets would lose thousands of dollars. Now the finance minister's office is clarifying the proposed changes, saying they'll only apply to RCMP and not to veterans. The day after the release of email suggesting closer links between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, the U.S. President is facing a vote that could see even more files getting made public.

Katie Nicholson has more on the political pressure. With all due respect, this is not a hoax. Epstein survivor Haley Robson wants the president to make good on his campaign promise to release the DOJ's files. The cat is out of the bag and the cat is not going back in the bag. So I'm not going away. Lawyer James Marsh represents some of Epstein's victims. He says after the dump of Epstein emails, thousands of emails without context,

it's crucial the DOJ files are made public. We need to see what's in the actual files from the government, the FBI, to actually find out who knew what, when. Even if the bid to release the files passes the House, it may not make it pass the Republican-held Senate. Donald Trump has always denied any wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, a friendship that started to sour in 2004, continuing to haunt the president decades later.

A new study out of the U.S. suggests ultra-processed food is tied to an increased risk of early onset cold rectal cancer. That means shelf-stable and preserved goods like mass-produced bread, breakfast cereals, and instant stoops. Nearly 30,000 women took part in the study, which found those who ate the most ultra-processed food had a higher risk of developing a polypup linked to colorectal cancer. Scientists say the findings link food to rising rates of the cancer in young adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. And that is The World This Hour. Get all the news you need anytime, anywhere.
