Certain conditions apply. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Mike Miles. Dozens of wildfires continue to burn across the Northwest territories. Some evacuees have been able to return home, but as Yasmin Renea reports, other communities are still under threat. It's good to be back home. I miss my host. John Tinkwe is relieved to be back in his community of Wattie after he was forced to flee more than a week ago. Residents returned Saturday to find none of their homes were damaged.

We're all okay. My kids all okay. Wattie Fire Chief Brian Docom says firefighters are still on standby, ready to put out any spot fires. It's just we got to be, do our due diligence, do our hotspot checks every day. Meanwhile, further west in the territory, another wildfire is threatening the community of Jean-Marie River, burning about a kilometer away from a major highway. Senior Administrative Officer Tammy Neal says residents would flee to Fort Nelson, British Columbia, if their evacuation alert is upgraded to an order. Feelings in the community are, of course, antsy.

People are worried. Yasmiranea, CBC News, Wattie, Northwest Territories. Ukraine officials are calling it Russia's largest attack. More than 800 drones and 13 missiles were launched overnight, according to the country's Air Force. Maybe was among at least three people killed, and Ukraine's main government building was hit. Prime Minister Julius Verdenko says it's the first time Russian have targeted any government buildings in the capital. South Korean officials say they're negotiating the release of 475 workers being held by U.S. immigration officials. They were nabbed in a Thursday raid on a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia.

The U.S. says they were working illegally. South Korea is going to send a plane to bring them back once the paperwork's done, adding it will improve. its visa system to avoid a similar incident. In Chicago, thousands of protesters took to the street. What do we do? Stand up right back! It's in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's plans to send federal's troops into the city and increase immigration enforcement.

On social media, Trump said Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of War. Fears of raids have led to cancellation or postponement of festivals this weekend and next, marking Mexican Independence Day. but residents say so far they've not seen any stepped-up enforcement. New York is also concerned about the possibility that it could also be hit with a deployment. Mayor Hopeful Zoran Mandani says it's not a matter of if, but when. The first thing is we have to prepare for the inevitability of that deployment. We cannot try and convince ourselves that because something is illegal, Donald Trump will not do it.

We have to be prepared and we have to be clear-eyed. And we have to understand that it will take every single. single tool at our disposal. Ma'am Danny says those tools include the legal system, using the example in California where Governor Gavin Newsom worked with Ellie Mayor Karen Bass and others to bring a case before the courts, which decided the National Guard deployment in Los Angeles was illegal. U.S. President Donald Trump is appealing that ruling. Also in New York, Trump is expected to attend this afternoon's U.S. Open men's final between

Yonic Center and Carlos Alcoraz, but organizers are reportedly ordering broadcasters not to air any negative crowd reaction to Trump's appearance. This is what they're trying to avoid. That booing happened in July when Trump appeared at the Club World Cup final. U.S. Open broadcaster ESPN isn't officially responding, but the New York Times spoke to a person briefed on the network's plans, who says they plan to acknowledge Trump's presence and cover play as usual. Trump was a regular tendee of the U.S. Open until 10 years ago.

He was booed then as well. Internet service is being disrupted across the Middle East. That's because cables have been cut in the Red Sea. And while there's been concerned, those lines would be targeted by Houthi rebels. They deny attacking those cables. Users in Pakistan, India, and the United Arab Emirates are affected, while Saudi Arabia is denying any disruption. And that is the world this hour.
