Within the last half hour Durham Regional Police announced they have made an arrest in the stabbing that left an elderly woman in Pickering just east of Toronto dead. Police confirmed that a 13-year-old boy was apprehended by police this evening and is now in custody. Police also saying they are lifting a shelter-in-place order for residents in the area. But they are not saying much else about the case with the investigation ongoing. People are scrambling and stressed across three prairie provinces.

Dozens of wildfires have forced residents from their homes with little more than a bag of belongings. Caroline Bargout has more on the situation in Manitoba. Kind of feel misplaced right now. Standing in the parking lot of an evacuation centre, Mary Daniels and her husband Leonard made it to Winnipeg after escaping the fires nearing their home in Flynn Flon. Leonard is elderly and blind, making the evacuation even more difficult. It's kind of stressful for me when I have to leave so suddenly and I can't see what I'm doing, can't see where I'm going.

The fire has grown to about 20,000 hectares, but officials in Flint Fonce say it has not crossed into town. Still, everyone needs to get out, says Town Councillor Alison Dallas. We will not be able to find you if you do not leave right now. Firefighters across the country are heading to northern Manitoba to battle the out-of-control blaze that has triggered a province-wide state of emergency. What the Prairies need is rain and lots of it. But so far, showers are not in the forecast, only scorching heat and strong winds. Caroline Bargout, CBC News, Winnipeg.

Hours after a U.S. court issued a landmark ruling declaring many of Donald Trump's global tariffs illegal, an appeals court weighed in allowing the tariffs to remain. As Paul Hunter reports, it's just the beginning of a potentially lengthy legal battle. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt was clear. The Trump administration faced another example of judicial overreach. In the view of the White House, the problem is not with Trump's broad tariffs. It's the, as Levitt labeled them, activist judges who overruled those tariffs. Worth noting, two of the three judges on this case were appointed by Republicans, one of

them by Donald Trump himself. The courts should have no role here. A federal appeals court granted an emergency motion from the Trump administration and now, pending an appeal, the tariffs will remain in place. Indeed, the White House says it expects the case will go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The true bottom line for now is that no one knows where this will land in the end. The White House promises to fight on.

Tariff opponents emphasize they've got the courts on their side, at least for now. Paul Hunter, CBC News, Washington. To the UK, police in Liverpool have laid formal charges in a car ramming 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. The incident happened as thousands of people packed the streets celebrating Liverpool FC's Premier League title win. Israel has approved its biggest expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank in decades. Alternationalist Minister Bezalel Smotrich says 22 Jewish settlements have been approved. He says the Security cabinet 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. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fague.
