The ocean is vast, beautiful, and lawless. I'm Ian Urbina back with an all new season of The Outlaw Ocean. The stories we bring you this season are literally life or death. We look into the shocking prevalence of forced labor, mine boggling overfishing, migrants hunted and captured. The Outlaw Ocean takes you where others won't. Available on CBC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, it's the World This Hour.

I'm Joe Cummings. The federal and provincial governments have announced they will be matching all Red Cross donations to those affected by wildfires burning in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Dozens of out-of-control wildfires have forced more than 30,000 people from their homes across both provinces. And while the fires burn, emergency officials and evacuees alike are eager to get a sense of the scale of the damage so far. Cameron McIntosh reports from Prince Albert. Pumping water for the firefight at the village of Dener Beach, crews saw winds

Staying at a hotel in Prince Albert, Patsy Janay knows her brother's home is gone. She's not certain about hers, not far away. I pray that I'll go home to a home. A community of 700, full damage, is yet to be assessed. Fires also surround nearby Creighton and Flynn Flawn, Manitoba. Across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,

about 35,000 people in total are out of their homes. In La Ronge, Saskatchewan, helicopters bombed the downtown with water. Two businesses were lost, but the flames were pushed back. A victory for now, says Mayor Joe Hordajski. We're still not out of the woods. Cameron McIntosh, says Mayor Joe Hordaiski. Cameron McIntosh, CBC News, Prince Albert. Canadian steel company executives and union officials are in Ottawa today looking to convince

the federal government to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff hike. Along with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, they want Ottawa to implement matching tariffs in retaliation to the Trump move this week that doubles U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. As it stands now, American Prime Minister, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is insisting his government will be taking time to craft a response while it continues to hold talks with the Trump White House. The Israeli military has recovered the bodies of Canadian Judy Weinstein Hagge and her husband

Gadi. The couple was among the victims of the Hamas attacks of October 7th and their remains were secured last night in Gaza following a special operation carried out by the IDF. Crystal Gmancing has more now from Jerusalem. The recovery and return of the remains of Gath Haggi and Judy Weinstein Haggi breaking across Israel. Members of their kibbutz near Oz, near the border with Gaza, shared a heartfelt statement, remembering Judy as a poet, a creative spirit, and a woman deeply committed to peace and coexistence.

The couple was killed on their kibbutz. They were taking a walk the morning Hamas and its affiliates stormed the border on October 7th in a murderous rampage. She called for help after her husband was shot. Their remains recovered after more than 600 days in Gaza during a special military operation, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Crystal Gaman Singh, CBC News, Jerusalem. U.S. President Trump is bringing back a controversial immigration policy from his first term. Like before, it's a travel ban, but this time it's aimed at

citizens from 12 countries including Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, and Yemen. We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm and nothing will stop us from keeping America safe. Trump is linking the new ban to Sunday's terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, saying it underscores the dangers posed by visitors who overstay their visas. The suspect, though, in that attack is from Egypt, a country that's not on Trump's restricted list. The Empton Oilers have taken Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final last night in Edmonton.

Yeah it's a special feeling. It's great for right now but we got to look ahead and get ready for game two. Game two is set for tomorrow night again in Edmonton. And that is The World This Hour.
