[ ] >> Heather: happening now in toronto, city officials and members of the jewish community are rallying in support of a jewish girls school that was targeted by gunfire in a disturbing incident over the weekend. >> I know the jewish community is resilient, is powerful and in canada and in toronto, there's no place for hate. And we say to this coward, these cowards, we will find you. You will be held responsible. >> Toronto mayor olivia chow there speaking outside of the elementary school where students are returning to class this morning for the first time since the incident. Police are still looking for multiple suspects. The hate crimes unit has opened an investigation. >> Since october 2023, the commercial auto crime bureau has been investigating several individuals, part of an organized auto theft group responsible for the theft and shipment of hundreds of stolen

motor vehicles. >> And that from a news briefing going on in peel region, the greater toronto area, police say they have broken up a major auto theft ring. They recovered 369 vehicles worth more than $33 million in an investigation they've called operation project odyssey. Investigators say the stolen vehicles were on their way to the port of montreal where police say they were going to be sold overseas, notably in the uae and in the port of oman. They've arrested 16 people so far with ten people still being sought by police. >>> As a horrifying development in a disaster in papua, new guinea. Officials are now saying more than 2,000 people may be buried by a landslide. This is new video in to us this morning, and you can see rescuers dig winnipeg their bare hands or the simplest of tools trying to reach victims. This is the third day after the landslide hit. Tons of debris buried homes in the middle of the night on friday when most of the villagers were sleeping. Some parts of the village runed as much as 8 meters of debris. This is new satellite imagery that shows the scene of the disaster. We can bring that in. Government officials have a dire warning about the rescue effort that few of those buried will likely be saved, because damaged roads mean rescuers can't get heavy equipment into the disaster zone. Australia and china have both pledged tens of millions of dollars in emergency aid. >> Just have a technical difficulty. Scott is just outside of my -- I'm sorry. Scott has run out of batteries, which is not the case for the story today. Indigo is going to carry on, but in a whole new form. Canada's biggest book store chain writing a new chapter today. Indigo shareholders are voting in just about an hour and some on a deal to put the company fully back in the hands of its founder and her husband, as the company goes private once more. And scott, hello, hello. >> Hello, hello. >> Oh, fantastic. You are powered up. >> What a professional you are. I am here basically with a hood up getting a new battery but I'm all ratify did I to go to tell the story. >> All right, tell me what's happening at indigo. >> Looking at the shares, an old adage, you want to buy shares when they are low, and indigo shares are flirting with low that is we haven't seen in years. The stores need an upgraded, needs a big cash infusion and voting today, this morning, in about an hour's time, whether to take this company private or not. There you can see sort of the lifeline and the story of the shares and how low they are trading. $2.50 is the offer and the owner structure of this company is an interesting one. Gerald swartz, the founder of onex court. He owns about 59% of this company through a variety of holding companies, he is married to the ceo, heather reisman. She owns about 5 per cent of the company. Together they own about two-thirds of the company through their holding companies. The offer for the shares is $2.50, and that goes through a voted to to take this public company private potentially. Requires two-thirds of the arrival of the shareholder and about a majority of those not related to the holding companies involved to those two people. Now, if it does go through, the shares will be delisted and in june, that's the -- the goal here anyways of the shareholder, and analysts say that the -- the stock really needs a revitalization. The stores need money, there has been losses, there's that famous hack, and so this is a company that needs investment, so hence analysts are saying that this is probably a good time for insiders to buy back the company, and then potentially who knows what could happen to it, it could reemerge in some big different way or possibly even go public in the future. >> Okay, that's definitely one of the stories we'll watch, as far as share price today, a lot of what happens on the markets dictated by the fact that there's no trading in the U.S. today. >> Yes, don't expect a lot of volume or a volatility without that big direction from the U.S. markets, there's a big week coming up this week. We've got bank earnings coming out later this week, gdp numbers coming out for the nature economy, so lots to look forward and of course the bank of canada interest rate announcement independence wednesday june 5th and let's take a look at what we're seeing so far. Looking at oil three month lows, $78 and change. The canadian dollar, euro and british pound all a little bit positive against the U.S. dollar and the tsx is the lone north american market today and it's up about 40 points in trading. >> Thank you, scott. >> Came after us.

This is just some of the severe weather we've been tracking on the U.S. east coast this morning. Atlanta heartsfield is a key flight hub and that is the busiest memorial day weekend in more than a decade. So this is likely to have quite the domino effect on things, and we'll keep an eye on that for sure. Chris has been watching that, and chris has been tracking not just the storm, hold on, where am I going to go? Five or one? I don't know what camera I'm on. But we'll just have a few gremlin this is hour, chris, oh, my goodness, gracious! I'm going to come back to you right here. There I am and through are. Fantastic. >> Blaming the thunderstorms. >> Blame the thunderstorms. >> Blame the thunderstorms. >> For sure. Listen, you were tracking the storm, the bad weather, deadly in fact destruction in the united states, and that storm system is affecting us here too. >> It is. The cold front that's extend from the main low over the great lakes, that's what's going through atlanta right now and bringing -- bring the thunderstorms right up to new york city and on our side of the border, we've had a few rounds. One round's already gone through, you know, trois-rivieres near quebec city with heavy rain showers, ottawa and gatineau had it earlier on through the valley, and rain showers towards north bay, sudbury, and another round that moved through southern lake hurontarioh huron and those rain showers with thunderstorms accompanying as well moving through hamilton which has had some heavily rain, toronto as well. So that -- it's just a very sogg consumer mid-air gas to deal w the best risk of severe weather coming this afternoon and potentially evening. There's a chance a small window between toronto and barrie, mount foreretaliates, better chance bancroft, kingston, cornwall, ottawa, and then if we get a little clearing, then the evening thunderstorms along cornwall to montreal, the richelieu valley towards the laurentians, that could be a third storm. So bottom line is that you've got to be prepared for potentially unpredictable weather today with showers, thunderstorms, damaging winds, possibly some flooding rains and even some hail. So that's why you've got that risk of storms. Not everyone is going to get a severe storm, but the possibility is there. And locally heavy rains, well, we had the heavy rains in southwestern ontario, of course, and severe weather last night. That greater threat is moving its way eastwards and between now and wednesday, there's going to be some local downpours. Tomorrow is the day across the maritimes, and you could get a few rounds every storms your own right, heavy rain moves to southern newfoundland tuesday night to wednesday, coinciding with strong southeast winds, so those wreckhouse winds will be blowing. Meanwhile, beautiful day for the most part, southern alberta, generally fair in much of saskatchewan. There's our low pressure system across bc, northern areas watch for thunderstorms including the fire zone and soggy weather, for the west coast off and on through wednesday.

This hour, we will take you to both toronto and montréal where pro palestinian student encampments are facing deadlines and court injunctions. Cbc's meagan fitzpatrick is at the university of toronto where the administration is working to end the encampment there and montréal where a provincial superior court judge has approved a request, at least in part, for the university de québec montréal against their encampments. So let's begin with megan because that deadline set by the university of toronto to dismantle that encampment has now come and gone but the protesters are still there, megan. The barricades are clearly up in and around kings college. Let's talk about what's going on on theed grouped. On the ground. >> Reporter: we're here beside convocation hall, which is kind of right wee side the fenced in encampment and there has been a rally going on here for more than an hour now despite the pouring rain, and the rally was in part organized by a number of labour unions who wanted to rally in solidarity, in support of the protesters who have been camping out now for more than three weeks. So we've heard from several speakers including some of the students representing and participating in the encampment reacting to that latest deadline set by the university and now this news from the university that they are pursuing legal action. We got a statement from the university this morning with an update and that statement did say that they have now filed the paperwork, seeking a court injunction from the ontario superior court, and that they're asking for an expedited hearing. They also said in that statement that negotiations are ongoing and they're willing to keep negotiating, that they had a long and productive meeting with the students yesterday and they plan on meeting again today at 5 P.M. the university saying they are hopeful they can reach an agreement to bring this, what they call an unauthorized encampment, to an end. This deadline was essentially contained in a trespass notice that had been issued to the protesters on friday evening telling them they had to vacate by 8 A.M. this morning or this legal action would be pursued. That trespass notice came after the notice had issued an offer to the protesters on thursday giving them 24 hours to respond to it. That offer outlining a couple of steps that responding to the students' demands and including setting up an advisory committee about divesting as well as a working group to work on recommendations to disclose investments, but this is the latest step. The encampment not dismantled so the university now pursuing this court action. >> Natasha: what are you hearing from the students, meagan? >> Reporter: well, they've been saying that the reason they rejected that offer from the school is because they do not want more committees. They want commitments. They want the university to immediately make a commitment to divest. They're calling for the school's endowment funds, any financial ties, anything that any funds invested in companies that support the israeli military essentially, and so they're saying what the university has offered is not good enough. Here's more of what we heard from one of the student protesters. >> Our encampment represents freedom of expression and protest. For months, we have been trying to get u of t admin in a room to discuss our demands. It took for this encampment for them to even acknowledge our demands. Shame. The university has made it clear: they want to clear this encampment. They have issued us a trespass notice and now an injunction, and the reason for this is because the people are threatening to them. >> Reporter: so, natasha, they say they are steadfast in their demands. So we'll see where things go from here. Again, they are planning on meeting again later today, but at this point, it seems like the students intend on defying the evacuation order and we'll see what happens with the court action but at this point, the students who have been coming out here for more than three weeks don't intend to leave. They say until their demands are met. >> Natasha: meagan fitzpatrick, thank you.

>>> Now let's turn our attention to the university de québec montréal campus because the québec superior court judge has approved, at least in part, an injunction that the school is seeking against the pro palestinian encampment at that campus. We have more on this. What is the court saying? >> Reporter: the court is saying that they want the protesters to stop obstructing the view of the camera, blocking windows, not accessing people to get access inside there. They want the camp to stay two metres away from all buildings and doors. I want to show you what the encampment looks like right now. This is what it looks like. You can't even see the inside of the encampment. This is what it looked like at all the accesses to the buildings at the university campus right now. It's blocked off. It's fenced off. You can't access these pathways. And this is really what the injunction request was for, to have this removed so people can walk freely and get to their classes and get into the buildings as they wish. This encampment has started as a protest to the injunction request against the mcgill encampment and the mcgill encampment is still around, but it was to stand in solidarity with the other encampment, natasha. >> Natasha: and so what are you hearing from the protesters at that campus? >> Reporter: so the protesters, they're calling for all universities in québec to cut ties with israel. They also want québec to eliminate the contact they have in tel aviv. The school says they are still analyzing and studying the judgment that just came out early this morning so they will not be reacting. They also say that the school has no investments in in western manufacturers and no framework agreements with any ties to israel. So people here are still protesting and still in solidarity with the mcgill encampment. Both encampments have been here for a while now and people are saying that they are not leaving until all their demands are met and the students and protesters at this encampment have higher demands than the ones at mcgill because mcgill encampment, they want the school to divest for ties with israel but over here, they want all universities in québec to do so. And also, I should mention that there is police presence around here at all the entrances. There are police around but they say they're just monitoring the situation because the injunction request is not for them to intervene and the school security could give tickets, but it's for the montréal police, they're just monitoring the situation and they will step in when they have authority to. >> Natasha: sounds good. Thanks for the additional context. Kwabena oduro in montréal. Those campus protests are happening because of the war in gaza. Israel is promising to investigate its military over an airstrike in rafah overnight that reportedly killed 45 palestinian who were sheltering in the area. Here's the government spokesman speaking to the bbc. >> Reporter: it appears from initial reports that somehow a fire broke out and that was -- that took the lives of others. I say it appears to because it is under investigation and the idf investigates every accident of this nature to see what actually happened. >> Natasha: take a look at what the encampment has been reduced to. Piles of smoldering ruins. The gaza health ministry said more than 20 of those killed were women and seniors. Those same officials also say almost 250 people have been wounded. The airstrike has sparked global outrage and happened less than three days after the united nations world court ordered the abandonment in rafah. A journalist joins us from tel aviv. Sarah, so much reaction, much of it anger, over this airstrike, including from canadian politicians. The ndp federal leader, jagmeet singh, joined the outcry taking to social media to say the world is failing the people of gaza and the canada is failing the people of gaza. We must do everything we can to stop this. What has been the reaction to it, including what israel is saying. >> Reporter: it was report thely on an area that was designated as a safe zone by israel. Now, really what we're hearing from the israel's military prosecutor the severity of that incident the general coming out to call it very grey, saying that naturally, in a war of such scope and intensity, difficult
