A U.S. federal court has ruled that by implementing the so-called Liberation Day measures, the Trump White House has overstepped its authority. Chris Rea says more now from New York. This was a decision from the U.S. Court of International Trade based here in New York. It's a federal court. President Trump imposed these tariffs using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act,

arguing that trade imbalances, among other things, constituted a national emergency, while a three-judge panel has now disagreed with that, ruling that the president exceeded his authority on imposing these policies because regulating commerce is the job of Congress. What this court ruling doesn't affect for now are those steel and aluminum tariffs that

affect Canada. That's still in place for now. Almost guaranteed this case will be appealed quickly and all the way to the Supreme Court. And so it is dead for now, but the highest court in the land will have the last say. Chris Reyes, CBC News, New York.

Manitoba asked for help from the Canadian Armed Forces, moving people from remote places where highway and airport access has been cut off. The province is working with officials in Winnipeg to make room for evacuees

in community centres and recreational facilities. With hot temperatures and no rain in the forecast, there is little relief in sight for crews on the front lines. Josh Crabb, CBC News, Winnipeg.
