From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Claude Fague. We begin in Ontario. We've been arrested by our tactical support unit without incident. That is Durham Region Police Chief Peter Morera following the arrest of a 13-year-old boy for the stabbing of an elderly woman earlier today. The fatal stabbing occurred in Pickering, east of Toronto. A shelter-in-place order had been in effect as police searched for the suspect that left the woman with critical injuries. She later died in hospital.

An emergency alert also forced the City of Pickering to shut down all public facilities, including community centers and library branches. Chief Moreira was asked about a possible connection between the victim and alleged suspect. That forms part of our investigation at this point. There doesn't seem to be, but the investigation will reveal exactly what the relationship, if any, existed between the victim and who we allege to be the perpetrator. Moreira called the stabbing a, quote, sadistic and cowardly, unprovoked attack. Saskatchewan is the latest province to declare a state of emergency over wildfires.

Premier Scott Moe says he wants to prepare communities in his province for what may be ahead, especially with continuing hot, dry weather. It's a very serious situation that we're faced with in Saskatchewan. We do need some rainfall. We need that sooner rather than later. And in light of that not being in the forecast, we most certainly are putting in place every measure possible to prepare our province, prepare our communities, and prepare those that live in our northern communities that are threatened by these wildfires in the days ahead. Fire officials estimate eight blazes are burning out of control in the northern part of the province. The biggest one 216,000 hectares. Several communities have already

been evacuated. Premier Mo says Saskatchewan officials are working closely with their Manitoba counterparts. That province declared a state of emergency yesterday. Everybody was just scared because we never know what's going to happen. Gina Malatay is one of 5,000 people forced to flee Flynn Flawn, Manitoba. She and her family drove through the night to make it to Winnipeg. The Flynn-Flawn fire has grown to about 20,000 hectares, but officials say it has not yet crossed into the city. The White House says there is 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. Aaron Collins, CBC News, Washington.

The UN's top official responsible for humanitarian aid has said the people of Gaza are being subjected to forced starvation by Israel. Tom Fletcher says the world has a responsibility to take greater action to get aid in. I think that history will be tough in the way it judges us, and it must be. I think that a lot of what we've been seeing has been telegraphed, it's been announced in advance. We can't say we didn't know what was happening. And all I'm asking is for the international community to be able to say, tell them we

did what we could. Fletcher again called on the international community to prevent genocide in Gaza. He's also denied Israel's allegations that much of the aid spent and sent into Gaza had been stolen by Hamas. He said some supplies were taken, but most of the aid got through. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fege.
