-The wildfire season has kicked off in B.C. and we are tracking the location of the wildfires around the province. There are currently 113 wildfires burning around B.C., including 38 throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre and 48 throughout the Prince George Fire Centre.

-The Mount Eneas fire has grown in size, forcing the evacuation of almost 1500 people from a large area of Peachland, in the Okanagan. Properties east to Highway 97 are under a State of Local Emergency. The order impacts about 596 properties. Wildfire Service Spokesperson Kevin Skrepnek says crews are facing challenges including warm temperatures and tough terrain. About a dozen blazes were triggered by a lightning storm which passed through the Okanagan Valley corridor on Tuesday night.

CCTV footage shows the man touching her, followed by her grabbing him by the collar, throwing him to the floor, and scolding him in front of other diners. Police were called and the man was promptly arrested after they viewed the damning footage.

-It may be a beauty day in Vancouver but it's rainy and wet in scotland for the British Open.
