We begin in Dallas and the Stanley Stanley Cup playoffs.

As seen on Hockey Night in Canada, the visiting Oilers got that goal from Captain Connor McDavid and an assist to help beat the Stars 6-3, clinching their Western Conference Final Series in five games and will now face off with the Florida Panthers in a rematch of last year's Stanley Cup final. 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. I kind of feel misplaced right now. Standing in the parking lot of an evacuation center,

Mary Daniels and her husband Leonard made it to Winnipeg after escaping the fires nearing their home in Flintlawn. 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 flinfon say it is not crossed into town still everyone needs to get out says town councillor Alice in 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. Hopes for a U.S. tariff reprieve were dashed today as an appeals court reimposed Donald Trump's levies that had been paused by lower courts. Ashley Burke now has more from Ottawa.

An American court decision the prime minister said backs up Canada's case. That the U.S. tariffs were unlawful as well as unjustified. Mark Carney welcomed the tariff ruling, but even then acknowledged the trade war is far from over. The court's decision would not have lifted tariffs against Canadian steel, aluminum, and auto industries, and that's why Carney said the government isn't changing course. But it didn't take long for the Trump administration to regain the upper hand and secure that emergency motion. The tariffs remaining in place for now. Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne.

We're going to fight for Canadian industry, Canadian workers. The Mayor of London, Ontario, Josh Morgan, says all of the instability has to end. The sooner we can have certainty in this, the sooner that upward pressure of cost escalation ends. Canada still in talks with Washington to try and come up with a new deal and get all of the tariffs lifted. Ashley Burke, CBC News, Ottawa. Chinese students go to the United States to further their education, paying big sums of money. Now there are fears they will be pushed out. The Trump administration says it will aggressively cancel visas for some Chinese students. Deanna Sumanac-Johnson reports. The United States is putting America first by beginning to revoke visas of Chinese students

as warranted. Tammy Bruce is a spokesperson with the U.S. State Department. Including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields. That may include advanced science, engineering, technology and medicine, fields in which the U.S. and China are bitter rivals. The move gives the White House the power to potentially take away status from around 270,000 Chinese students. That's about a quarter of all foreign students. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson says the U.S. has unreasonably canceled Chinese

students' visas and called it a discriminatory practice. Charles Cook is a law professor at Emory University in Atlanta. Chinese and other international students pay higher tuitions, a large chunk of the revenue that keeps schools running. None of this makes an economic sense. None of it makes policy sense. Diana Suminaik Johnson, CBC News, Toronto. And that is Your World This Hour.
