The World This Hour for 2025/07/12 at 22:00 EDT

I'm Joshua Jackson, and I'm returning for the Audible original series, Oracle, Season 3, Murder at the Grandview. Six forty-somethings took a boat out a few days ago. One of them was found dead. The hotel, the island, something wasn't right about it. Psychic agent Nate Russo is back on the case, and you know when Nate's killer instincts are required, anything's possible.

This world's gonna eat you alive. Listen to Oracle Season 3, Murder at the Grandview, now on Audible. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Mike Miles. Wildfires are forcing more people from their homes in the prairies. In Manitoba, as more than 13,000 people escape the flames in the north, smoke from those blazes is planketing the rest of the province. Sarah Reid reports. Above Garden Hill First Nation, fire crews work to fight the flames from the air. A wildfire sparked an evacuation order for the northern Manitoba community on Thursday morning. Now the Canadian Air Force has been brought in to fly more than 4,000 people out of the remote area.

Craig Munro is the vice chief of Garden Hill First Nation and says so far 1,800 people have been relocated to Winnipeg with a plan to move another 1,000 people on Saturday. It's sad because we're being displaced from our homes. So we do not want to be here, but we have to do what we have to do. While the fires aren't a threat in Winnipeg, the heavy smoke is serving as a constant reminder of the province's already record fire season. And experts say it's creating dangerously poor air quality.

In Saskatchewan, 58 wildfires are actively burning across the province, which have sparked evacuations in five communities. Sarah Reed, CBC News, Edmonton. Aaron Ross Smoke from Northern Saskatchewan wildfires delayed a CFL matchup in Regina between the Roughriders and the Calgary Stampeters Friday night. After four hours, the game was pushed back to this afternoon, with Calgary coming out on top 24-10. Experts with the Northern Tornadoes Project have confirmed 10 tornadoes were produced

during a single storm last month in Saskatchewan. The twisters popped up June 19th in a line stretching from near Saskatoon through the Regina area into the southeast, some of them powerful enough to damage homes and property. David Stills is director of the Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University. It's not unusual that you get more than one tornado, for instance, on a day. A lot of times there are outbreaks. This, I think, is the biggest outbreak we've seen in Saskatchewan

since we started the project in 2017, though. Saskatchewan has seen the most tornadoes this year, 17 so far, followed by Alberta with four. The list of trading partners that the U.S. has been threatening got longer again Saturday, with President Donald Trump now vowing to impose 30 percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and the European Union if new trade deals are not in place by August 1st, Chris Glover reports. Donald Trump is laying low this weekend, even as his letter-writing campaign warning country

after country of what U.S. tariffs they will face, is high on the minds of lawmakers around the world. Mexico's President Claudia Scheinbaum blasted Trump's letter calling it unfair, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen quickly put out a statement saying proportionate countermeasures are being worked on. So our line has to be very clear. We will be firm. Speaking in France this week, she called Trump's attempt to recalibrate global trade unprecedented

and she's ready to fight back. We defend our interests. All we can do right now is continue to focus on what we can control. Meeting with counterparts in Asia, Canada's foreign affairs minister Anita Onand continues to be on the hunt for new trading partners, like most countries attempting to pivot away from the United States in the era of Trump. Chris Glover, CBC News, Washington. To London next and at Wimbledon. Washington. To London next and at Wimbledon.

The crowd roaring as Iga Szymanek hosted the Vegas, I'm sorry, Venus rosewater dish above her head. The 24-year-old tennis star won the women's singles final in straight sets facing her American rival Amanda Anisimova. This is her first Wimbledon championship and Poland's first Wimbledon singles champ. Well, this would have done Jimmy Buffett proud. A new Guinness World Record has been set for

the world's largest margarita. Mixed Masters in Mexico created a concoction that was 34,419 liters. No word how much salt was used. That is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles.
