Other People's Problems Season 5, available now.
From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
We begin with breaking news.
Steel, one of Canada's biggest industrial exports into the U.S., has now been hit with
a higher levy.
Donald Trump has just announced he's doubling the tariff.
We are going to be imposing a 25% increase. We're going to bring it from 25% to 50% the tariffs
on steel into the United States of America. Nobody's going to get around that.
25% tariffs on steel and aluminum took effect in March, not long after Trump threatened to double them before backing off.
The U.S. is estimated to buy six million tons of steel from Canada.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says the wildfires are posing serious threats across the province.
He says several communities are now surrounded by the flames.
Some 17,000 people have already been ordered to leave their homes, and Canoe is warning
of more evacuations to come.
To our fellow Manitobans, we can expect thousands of more people from the northern parts of
our province to be moved out of their communities or neighboring communities to find their way
to safety in other parts of Manitoba, predominantly here in Winnipeg.
Canoe is thanking the Canadian Armed Forces for their help moving people to safety.
A group of Alberta firefighters trapped by a wildfire are now free.
Wallace Snowden has the details.
The eight firefighters were trapped as the flames closed in on the community of Chippewan
Lake.
They were forced to take shelter as they awaited rescue. Efforts to extract them with
night vision radar failed as smoke choked the skies. Hours later they
finally drove to safety. Municipal officials say a 20-man rescue team was
deployed to help them navigate the road out, littered with downed trees. The
damage to the community remains unknown,
as it's still not safe to enter.
Oh my god, pray for today everyone. Wow!
It was a volatile night across the province with baking heat, fierce winds and severe
thunderstorms triggering a wave of new evacuations, including in Chateau, where more than 900
fled as a black plume filled the sky.
Air quality warnings have been issued as smoke blankets almost every corner of the province.
Wallace Snowden, CBC News, Edmonton.
One of the five former World Junior Hockey players accused of sexual assault was cross-examined by the Crown.
NHL goaltender Carter Hart began his defence testimony yesterday at the trial in London,
Ontario.
Karen Pauls has more from the courthouse.
Crown attorney Megan Cunningham questioned Carter Hart on the events of what happened
the night of the alleged sexual assault in June 2018.
He says it was only the fifth time he had consumed alcohol and he was drunk, with no
memory of periods of time.
When he got the text from Michael McLeod offering three-way sex,
Hart says he assumed it was an agreed upon plan between McLeod and the
complainant known under a publication ban as EM.
Hart says he was open to sex with McLeod and a woman and he went to room
209 with that hope. Once there,
he says he remembers EM repeatedly asking the guys in the room to have sex with
her.
In earlier testimony, EM says she was slapped on her buttocks so hard that she had to tell
the person slapping her to stop.
Hart says he has no memory of that.
Hart told court he doesn't think anyone would have done anything to hurt her and never felt
things were getting out of hand. Karen Pauls, CBC News, London, Ontario. Loretta Switt, most well known
for her leading role on the TV series MASH, has died. This is the end of the
line for us. From now on I'm number one. Me, Margaret Houlihan. And believe me
soldier, I deserve better than you. Switt won two Emmy Awards for playing the
quick-witted head nurse, Major Margaret Houlihan.
The CBS show about a surgical unit during the Korean War aired for 11 years spanning
from the 1970s to 80s and won a Peabody Award for its depth of humor and profound statement
on the nature of war.
Switt's representative, that is, says she died at her home in New York City likely from natural
causes. Loretta Switt was 87 years old.
And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
