Saskatchewan has followed Manitoba in declaring a province-wide state of emergency as wildfires

rage on. Premier Scott Moe made the announcement. Under that wildfire state of emergency are a number of initiatives then that we may have to use over the days ahead to further support the wildland fire suppression and firefighter activities that are happening in the north, further support those residents that are evacuated or may have to be evacuated in the days ahead. There are 17 active wildfires in the province and the weather forecast is not favorable. Three First Nations had called for the emergency order saying they are concerned about critical shortages in firefighting resources.

Thousands of people are being evacuated as hundreds of wildfires burn across the prairie provinces. That includes Pimichikamak First Nation in Manitoba. Incident Commander Ryan Castell says some of the shelters aren't big enough to handle all the evacuees. Ryan Castell, Incident Commander, Pimichikamak First Nation, Manitoba We evacuated about 5,000 people to the Norway House yesterday. So we have a dilemma over there. They were prepared for about 1,000. And then we had to quickly and in a rush send all our people out to over there where it's safe.

Nearly a million hectares of earth have been scorched by the fire so far across Canada. In Ontario, police in Durham region are asking residents to shelter in place after a woman was fatally assaulted in Pickering, east of Toronto. An emergency alert has been issued saying police are now searching for a homicide suspect. The White House says there's no Plan B when it comes to tariffs. The Trump administration insists it will find a way to enact them even as the sweeping import taxes imposed on virtually all other countries are challenged in court on home soil. Aaron Collins reports.

The White House pushing back against a court ruling that most of its tariffs are illegal. The administration has appealed that decision, keeping the tariffs in place for now. And Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro says no matter what happens in court, they are here to stay. Even if we lose, we will do it another way. Dan Rayfield is Oregon's attorney general, one of the states that challenged the tariffs. He says the Trump administration is out of line when questioning the validity of judges. It's absolutely rhetoric and those are the type of things you say when you're losing

consistently in court. This fight over Trump's tariffs likely to end up in the Supreme Court. No matter what happens there, it won't impact Canada much. The tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum aren't covered under this ruling. Erin Collins, CBC News, Washington. The White House says Israel supports a U.S. proposal for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza. Spokesperson Caroline Levitt says it's now in the hands of Hamas.

Special Envoy Witkoff and the president submitted a ceasefire proposal to Hamas that Israel backed and supported. Israel signed off on this proposal before ceasefire proposal to Hamas that Israel backed and supported. Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent to Hamas. I can also confirm that those discussions are continuing and we hope that a ceasefire in Gaza will take place so we can return all of the hostages home. Hamas has issued a counterproposal asking for humanitarian aid and the opportunity to extend the ceasefire. And the West Bank Israel has approved the biggest expansion of settlements in the occupied

territories in decades. The Security Cabinet has approved 22 Jewish settlements. Finance Minister Bzalai Smutrich says the decision reinforces Israeli control of the territory and prevents the establishment of a Palestinian state. Israeli settlements in the occupied territory are considered illegal under international law. The move comes as its military ramps up raids and arrests across the West Bank to dismantle what it calls terrorism infrastructure. To the UK, police in Liverpool have laid formal charges in a car ramming incident earlier

this week. 53-year-old Paul Doyle faces six charges related to grievous bodily harm and one count of dangerous driving. But Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims would not speculate on his motive. Our detectives are working tirelessly with diligence and professionalism to seek the answer to all of those questions. Sims says 79 people were hurt in total,

seven of them remain in hospital. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
