The World This Hour for 2025/05/30 at 04:00 EDT

In this acclaimed new production of Anna Karenina, the National Ballet of Canada asks, what is fair in love and society? Renowned choreographer Christian Spook adapts Tolstoy's epic novel to dance in a spectacular work complete with lush costumes, cinematic projections, and a glorious curated score featuring the music of Rachmaninoff. On stage June 13th to 21st, tickets on sale now at national.ballet.ca sponsored by IG private wealth management. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Claude Fague. A remote Oji-Kiri First Nation is the

latest community to be evacuated as wildfires rage on across the country. About 1,100 people live in Deer Lake First Nation in northern Ontario. They're being transported more than 1,400 kilometers south to Toronto. The CBC's Sarah Law reports. The smoke is really bad. You inhale it and it hurts your lungs really bad. David Mikus says Deer Lake Lakes Airport is surrounded by charcoal. Only propeller planes are allowed in and out of the First Nation, with the community's most vulnerable boarding the first planes out. Most of the region is under burn bans as dry conditions continue to fan the flames. Chris Marshand is a fire information officer with the province.

He says the forecast doesn't look promising. This area has not seen more than 10 millimeters of rain in weeks. Deer Lake is the second first nation in the region to be evacuated. Members of Wapsimum Independent Nations have been staying in hotels from Winnipeg to Niagara Falls since mid-May. Two years ago, Micah says he was in a hotel in Cornwall for a month and a half due to wildfires. As he prepares for his flight to Toronto, he says he's worried about leaving his two huskies behind. Sarah Law, CBC News, Thunder Bay, Ontario. We could learn today if the man charged with murder following the Vancouver Lapu Lapu Day

tragedy is fit to stand trial. Eleven people were killed in the car ramming at the end of April. 30-year-old Kai G. Adam Lowe is charged with eight counts of second-degree murder. Georgie Smythe has more. It's been a little over a month since 11 people were killed at a Vancouver street festival when they were run over by an SUV that crashed into a tightly packed crowd at a Lapu Lapu Day event. Dozens were injured and seven people remain in hospital. 30-year-old Kaiji Adam Lo has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder.

At his first appearance, five days after the incident, Lo's lawyer asked the court for an assessment of his client to make sure he is fit to stand trial. It's important to remember that this analysis is totally different to a person being found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder. If Lowe is found not fit to stand trial it will not be the end of criminal proceedings but the beginning of another legal process. Georgie Smythe, CBC News, Vancouver. 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 yesterday. 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 a woman with critical injuries. She later died in hospital. 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. And finally, the Edmonton Oilers are headed back to the Stanley Cup final. The Oilers defeated the Dallas Stars 6-3 last night, wrapping 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, was asked what has been the difference between this year's team versus last. 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 of the cup final begins next Wednesday in Edmonton.

And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fague.
