The government has declared a state of emergency as wildfires raging across the northern part of the province continue to drive thousands from their homes. Alexander Silberman reports. Glad we made it on time. Lisa Highway says she barely made it out of Pelicanero, Saskatchewan as wildfires raged closer and closer. The dangerous journey took her down the only road out of town with a wall of flames mere meters away.

So my baby is four years old. He was pretty scared seeing all that because he keeps asking me every day, are we going to go home? The province's top wildfire officials warning it's expected to get worse. Marlo Pritchard is fire commissioner. All of us need to pull together to get through this over the next days weeks. The province's largest fire, one of eight burning out of control, is more than 200,000 hectares, nearly ten times the size of Saskatoon. It's now

threatening the village of Candle Lake. Water bombers from Alaska and Quebec are now helping battle the fires. Alexander Silberman, CBC News, Prince Albert. US President Donald Trump has described the court ruling that paused his global tariff plan as horrible, wrong and political. On Wednesday, specialist judge said Trump had constitutionally overstepped his authority when he imposed steep taxes on imports from almost every country. On Thursday, the tariff plan was reinstated by an appeals court while the matter continued to be heard.

Addressing the issue for the first time on social media, the U.S. president said trillions of dollars have started pouring into America because of the tariffs. The White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said the tariffs were here to stay. You can assume that even if we lose, we will do it another way. And I can assure the American people that the Trump tariff agenda is alive, well, healthy, and will be implemented to protect you to save your jobs and your factories and to stop shipping our wealth into foreign hands.

The RCMP have charged the Russian national living in Toronto under its special economic measures regulations, accusing him of illegally shipping restricted goods to Russia. As Lisa Shing reports, it could be the first prosecution of its kind here. It's big news. Toronto international trade and investment lawyer John Bosgarial says the arrest of businessman Anton Trofimov is significant. Canada has been involved in one way or another in supplying components directly or indirectly for purposes of use in the battlefield in Ukraine.

The RCMP arrested Trofimov earlier this month. Court documents show he's charged with two counts of violating Canada's sanctions on Russia. That's for exporting, selling, supplying or shipping restricted goods and technology there to support its war effort. We have believed for years that there is more of this happening than is known. Ehor Michael Chisholm, executive director of the Ukrainian-Canadian Congress, says his organization has been pushing for better enforcement of the rules for years.

We hope that this will be the beginning of more prosecutions. The RCMP is set to announce what it calls the first prosecution under these regulations sometime next week. Lisa Shing, CBC News, Toronto. To Dallas now in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Off back home and oh! McDavid's gonna break! 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 last night, clinching their Western Conference Finals series in five games. The Oil are back in the Cup Final and will face off with the Florida Panthers in a rematch of last year's final won by the Panthers in seven games with Game 1 set for next Wednesday in Edmonton. And that is your World This Hour.
