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. 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 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 Flintlawn 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 US court issued a landmark ruling declaring many of Donald Trump's global tariffs illegal, an appeals court weighed in allowing the tariffs to remain. Paul Hunter reports. 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. Chinese students go to the United States to further their education, paying big sums of

money to do it. Now there are fears they will be pushed out. Deanna Suvinac-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 that makes policy sense. Deanna Sumenak-John Johnson, CBC News, Toronto. Now to Dallas and the Stanley Cup playoffs. Oh, that ball. McDavid's going for it. Connor McDavid scores! A silencer here for Connor McDavid. 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 Finals series in five games. The Oil are back in the Cup Final and will now face off with the Florida Panthers in a rematch of last year's Stanley Cup Final won by the Panthers in seven games. Game one is set for next Wednesday in Edmonton. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fague.
