CBCN - Monday, May 27, 2024 - 12:00 a.m. (ET) - Segment #25

we mentioned texas, they may not having storms right now but right now they are having very hot weather in del rio, texas today. Temperatures expected to hit 43 degrees celsius. If it is not a storm, it is one of the heat. Really severe weather throughout the U.S. right now. >> Natasha: you heard steve mentioned the state of kentucky. Moments ago, the governor of that state providing an update on the destruction from yesterday's storm and confirmed the number of fatalities. >> Sadly we can confirm that we have lost at least four people from kentucky from last night's storm. At one point we believed it was five, if we have four confirmed deaths and one individual fighting for their life. Please pray for that individual as his circumstances appear very difficult and higher. That means we know that there are at least four families this morning that have suffered the loss of a loved one less than 24 hours ago that are hurting. We ought to rally around them and do everything we can to carry them in the days, the weeks and the years to come. The confirmed fatalities include a 67-year-old woman in mercer county, a 62-year-old woman in hardin county, a 48-year-old woman in hopkins county and a 34-year-old man in jefferson county. Again so far we believe at least a few tornadoes touched down including the one that we know is on the ground at least 40 miles. That tornado barely missed the prison in deville, just barely missed mayfield, just went slightly north of dawson springs but hit those two towns. It has been reported that dawson itself was hit. These towns have a dull thing springs mailing address. The communities are so close that they are very tight. Currently, over 180 -- 174,000 customers are without power. You can see that here but crews are working around-the-clock to make sure power is restored. >> Natasha: that is the governor of kentucky speaking moments ago confirming that four people were killed by those devastating tornadoes that hit the state on sunday.

The presence I feel now is not something that I believed to be possible in the past. So many people thought I couldn't do it. They doubted me. I felt like I like, ripped my whole heart out. I didn't realize how formative 25 to 30 would be. I have to kind of repress my own self doubt. You're one of my favourite interviewers, so, I was pumped. Get out of here. Announcer: q with Tom Power. Available now onCBC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts. >> Natasha: here are new photos into us this hour from northern B.C. thousands of residents from fort nelson and orton nelson first nation are being allowed to return home. They have been an evacuation order for more than two weeks when the parker like wildfire got way too close. Now they are bracing themselves for what they will see. >> Out in the rural areas they will see a lot of damage, particularly out on the edges of community to the north. The fire burned right up to the highway so it has black into trees. There will be some places where they won't be able to go where they used to be able to go like the parker lake recreation area. It is blocked off just because of so many damage trees across the road. There is significant damage to the north and west of the community. That will make them feel sad. >> Natasha: more than 4,500 evacuees have been out of their

homes since may 10th. Some essential workers have been there over the past few days to get services up and running again. The mayor is telling people to fuel up and bring a few days worth of essential supplies back with them. Residents will remain on high alert and be able to leave again since there are still fires burning nearby. >>> Let's check on the weather outlook for the final week of may with chris murphy at the weather network. >> Reporter: your national forecast, first the big picture nationwide. Fairweather on the east coast. Rain showers on the west coast. A nice bump up in temperatures in the prairies and then in ontario and québec, stormy weather. We have widespread showers and we have already had rounds of thunderstorms and we will get more of that and the trailing cold front of that low is also bringing stormy weather further east in the U.S. showers and thunderstorms. Another round coming in this afternoon. North of the gta it is certainly possible, especially cottage country, ottawa and the valley and western québec. And perhaps another round this evening targeting right along the st. Lawrence seaway. We will have to watch that and up towards central ontario where most of the thunderstorms and showers are diminishing overnight. Tomorrow there will still be scattered showers. Thunderstorms will be more isolated. It will be cooler tomorrow and then a dryer and cooler trend for wednesday and thursday. This is the risk of showers and thunderstorms. The biggest chance of severe weather is eastern ontario, western québec. We can't rule out central areas as well. Large hail and potentially heavy rain and damaging wind is the main culprit. Where we get multiple rounds of thunderstorms, significant rain especially eastern ontario and throughout québec. Tomorrow will orvis across maritime the could be a few rounds of storms as well even beginning earlier in the day rev fredericton and st. John and later the afternoon toward halifax. Heavy rain in newfoundland and rockhouse wind. A big pressure system will bring a few days of scattered rain showers across coastal B.C. the thunderstorm threat is in northeastern B.C. and northwestern alberta. >> Announcer: the weather update is brought to you by...

A deadline set by the university of toronto to dismantle a pro- palestinian encampment has now come and gone and the protesters are still they there. The barricades and tents in king college circle remain up. Meagan fitzpatrick is their on-site. What is the latest? >> Reporter: the school had warned they would take legal steps if the encampment wasn't dismantled by 8:00 am this morning and they have followed through on that threat. Filing an injunction in ontario court. The warning of legal action had come in a trespass notice those issue to the chest passers on friday evening telling them to vacate by 8:00 am and that trespass notice came after the student protesters had rejected a proposal from the university in terms of meeting their demands that was given to the protesters on thursday and the students were decking -- rejecting that offer and staying puts throughout the weekend and this morning to find that 8:00 am deadline. The uft -- uft president issuing a statement this morning announcing the legal action and this statement says the injunction was filed in court and they are requesting an expedited hearing. It also says the university and the student protesters had a long productive meeting yesterday. They did meet around 5:00 pm yesterday and said that they meet again today. The university saying they are hopeful the two sides can reach an agreement to put an end to this unauthorized encampment. The university has been saying all along since encampment started that the protesters are trespassing. The school has been saying they have been trying to balance the rights to free expression and the right to protest with other rights and the school is now coming to a point where they want encampment to end. They have taken -- they are preventing students from using the space. The school has said there have been health and safety concerns associated with the encampment and they have received reports of harassment and hate speech connected to the encampment and those reports have been forwarded to the toronto police. This school is saying that they have taken a balanced approach and have been very patient that that it is time for the encampment to come to an end. And with the protesters not meeting that order to evacuate by 8:00 am, they are now taking legal action. >> Natasha: what are you hearing from students? >> Reporter: the students are saying that they are not interested and what the school has been offering so far. The school offered to set up an advisory committee to study the issue of divestments. Students are demanding that the university, the endowment funds, and financial interests and everything that is invested in companies that support the israeli military essentially, that is what they are demanding they put an end to. They also want the school to cut academic ties with certain israeli institutions and they want the school to disclose all their investment. And what the school proposed to say is it isn't good enough and that there is no time to waste. They want a commitment. They spoke to us this morning following a big rally. Here is what she is saying about the latest step in the school to go to court. >> The university went to court and sought an injunction to essentially compel the court to call the police because they don't want to do that. They understand it is optically horrible and terrific for them to call police on there own student so they are trying to use the courts to compel the police to come here, we find it quite appalling that they are doing all these things instead of meeting with their students, instead of them meeting with us and committing to divesting. >> Reporter: the school has said they want to in of avoid police involvement and they do want to keep talking to the protesters. That statement this morning saying they want a resolution to end the encampment. The trespass notice did also warned the students and faculty are participating and supporting this protest that there could be repercussions, disciplinary action including suspensions and expulsions. There were some faculty here this morning at the rally, a large rally that went on a quite

some time that was also supported by me -- multiple labor unions were here in solidarity. Those labor leaders pledging to support students as this goes forward. From what we are hearing, these students, these protesters, many of whom have been here right from the beginning do not intend on going anywhere unless their demands are met. >> Natasha: thank you. >>> Meanwhile, at the university of québec, a québec superiors court judge has approved a pardon injunction. Here is the latest. >> Reporter: in the decision by the judge, the partial injunction requests as a protesters need to stop look -- blocking doors, windows and to let the fire department have access into the building. It needs to be two metres away from the access so people can access the buildings in and out freely. I want to show you what the encampment looks like right now. This is what it looks like at all the entrances around this client -- around this campus. It is locked up by this and this is why the injunction request was filed of these accesses that are blocked are not blocked any more. People trouble getting in and out of the buildings. This encampment started as a protest to the injunction request filed by mcgill against the mcgill encampment. At this time, people at the encampment were saying they wouldn't fight -- invite people from the mcgill encampment to be here if the other encampment got dismantled. People here at this encampment are calling for more measures than the other encampment. They want all universities in québec to cut ties with israel. They want the province to abolish the bureau they have in tel aviv as well. They say they don't have any ties with israel, no firearms, no frameworks with israel and they say they won't be reacting to the judgment just yet. They want to study it and see how it goes and protesters here say they are in it for the long haul and even though the mcgill encampment is still there and still going, they are still not going down here. It is in solidarity with all the encampments across the country and all the other encampments that have still stayed standing up until this time across the world and they say they won't leave until their demands are met. Police presence is here at all the entrances at the campus. Police presence is here and they say they are not going to step in because they don't have authority to. The campus security could give tickets but they are not allowed to do anything because that is not the injunction request. They are here to monitor the situation and make sure everything remains safe and peaceful. >> Natasha: the campus protests are over the war in gaza where today israel is promising to investigate its military over an airstrike in rafah overnight that reportedly killed 45 palestinians who were sheltering in the area. The israeli prime minister now it knowledges there was a "tragic mistake." here's what an israeli government spokesperson had to say earlier today. >> Last night, the I.D.F. targeted two hamas commanders in rafah whose hands were drenched in israeli blood. According to initial reports, these are initial reports, a fire broke out after the attack which appears to have taken civilian lives. Civilian casualties are desperately sad, but this is the war that hamas wanted and started. >> Natasha: this is what the encampment has been reduced to today. Piles of smouldering ruins. The gaza health ministry says more than 20 of those killed were women and seniors and those same officials say almost 250 people were wounded. The airstrike has sparked global outrage and it happened less than three days after the U.N. world court ordered israel to abandon its offensive in rafah. Reporter sarah coates is in tel aviv. >> Reporter: truly horrific pictures coming out of rafah in an area that was designated as a safe zone for palestinian civilians on the grounds. We are hearing from a number of doctors speaking saying that the people who were sheltering there were simply ripped to shreds. Do have some fresh -- fresh where it's from the I.D.F. who has come out to say that they did not expect the strike to harm civilians. Adding that the topped tear -- top-tier fact-finding mission will probe this incident. As you mentioned, furious reactions coming from the international community. We have also heard from the U.N. palestinian refugee agency which has posted on x. We haven't established

medications with our colleagues on the ground. We are extreme the concerned for their welfare. Adding no place is safe, no one is safe saying gaza is hell on earth. The e.u.'s foreign policy chief is calling on both sides, both israel and hamas to respect the ruling of the international court of justice. >> This is really a dilemma of how international communities can make implementable and can enforce implementation of this in the international court of justice. >> Natasha: this strike came hours after hamas fired a barrage of rockets at central israel, including right here in tel aviv. It was yesterday afternoon. This was the first time in four months that a red alert sirens were activated here in the region. These rockets came from the rafah area. A number of them were shot down by israel's iron dome sow defence system. One of them hit a home further north of where I am standing, injuring one person. >> Natasha: we are also hearing about an egyptian soldier killed near the gaza border -- excuse me, near gaza's rafah border. What can you tell us about that? >> Reporter: we do have a statement now from the egyptian military. It has posted on x. That the egyptian armed forces are conducting an investigation through the competent authorities regarding a shooting incident in the border area in rafah which led to the martyrdom of the one of the personnel. Very important to point out here that this statement did not to mention israel. It is also very important to truly highlight the security agreement that the egyptians and the israelis do share. Certainly a lot of concern over wets could actually happen here. We know the israeli military is also investigating this incident but we certainly can confirm, according to the egyptian military, that one egyptian soldier has been killed. >> Natasha: given the events of the past 24 hours and also the attack where hamas has taken responsibility for airstrikes on israel at the first we have seen in months, what are the hopes for a new cease-fire agreement or getting the hostages released? >> Reporter: a lot of hope of course,, especially among the families of these 120 israeli hostages that are still being held in the gaza strip. It has been more than 230 days now. Barely any information on there welfare or their whereabouts. Certainly all these events over the past couple of days and this incident that I just spoke about on the gaza border between the israeli soldiers and the egyptian soldiers will complicate efforts given that the egyptians are also a key mediator. We have also heard from qatar speaking out in the wake of the strike saying that this will further complicate mediation efforts. Still unclear when and if these talks will pick up again this week. Certainly as I mentioned, the families of these hostages are very much hoping so. >> Natasha: jewish girls school in toronto is welcoming back students today after shots were fired at the building over the weekend. Police say they are looking for multiple suspects and the hate crimes unit has opened up an investigation. Earlier today there was a solidarity rally held ahead of classes. We are following that story. >> Reporter: the rally took place outside of the jewish girls school in toronto. Dozens of people gathered there in the rain, some holding flags, some holding signs, one that said "you are not alone." the message from many there is that students to have a right to a safe learning environment and hate would not be tolerated in the school. Many families with children who attended school in the city of toronto say they are still shaken up after hearing about what happened over the weekend. According to police, it was around 5:00 am saturday when armed suspects went to the school, they appeared to have opened fire, several gunshots hitting the school. No one was there at the time, no one was injured but suspects did leave. The toronto police guns and gangs unit and the hate crimes unit is now investigating. The hunt for the suspect also continues. Today outside of the school, many dignitaries, as well as the mayor of toronto where they're speingut and here is some of what was said. >> What happened here this weekend crossed a dangerous line. It was an attempt to intimidate and to isolate the wonderful people, the wonderful children here and it was a deliberate attempt to spread fear across our entire jewish community, to make us cower and hide who we
