From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Claude Fague. 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. Everybody was just scared because we never knew what was 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. 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 who left the woman with critical injuries. She later died in hospital.

An emergency alert also prompted the city of Pickering to shut down all public facilities, including community centers and library branches. Chief Moreira was asked about possible connections between the victim and the alleged suspect. That forms part of our investigation at this point. There doesn't seem to be, but, you know, 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 quote, sadistic and cowardly, unprovoked attack. 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 has more from Ottawa. An American court decision the Prime Minister said backs up Canada's case. That the US 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 is 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. The Edmonton Oilers are headed back to the Stanley Cup final. They defeated the Dallas Stars 6-3 Thursday night to wrap up the Western Conference final in five games.

The Oil will face the Florida Panthers in a rematch of last year's seven game series won by the Panthers. Captain Connor McDavid, who scored a goal and added an assist in the win, asked what has been the difference between this year's team versus last season. I think this run has felt different than last year. It's felt very normal. It's felt very, I don't want to say boring because it's not boring at all. But just a little, you know, it hasn't been as emotional. You know, we haven't had the highs and we haven't had the lows. Just kind of been steady, you know, and I think that that's put us in a good position. And game one is set for next Wednesday in Edmonton. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fague.
