if they'll be doing that as well. They say they will get back to me with an answer. >> Marianne: temperatures are expected to hit 50 in some parts of pakistan as an intense heatwave rolls through the country. Hospitals have noticed a spike in patients admitted with heat stroke. The extreme temperatures are due to climate change and that conditions will become even more unbearable in the coming months when the humidity increases. The current hot spell is expected to last until at least next week. >>> At least five people are dead in texas after violent storms and tornadoes tore through the central united states at the start of the memorial day weekend.

[ ] >> Marianne: nearly six decades the band that inspired the canadian classic is back. Jim valance was the cowriter on summer of 69. It was inspired by his band and last night they reunited at their old stomping ground in vanderhoof, B.C. there, they played songs, relived the best days of their lives and they did a bit of good, too. To tell us all about it, I'm joined by jim valance. You know what, obviously everyone loves to hear you. I want to ask you how it was getting up on the stage with your old band mates? >> Such a thrill. I mean, we've kept in touch all these years. I met these guys when I was 13 in grade 8. And my dad got moved every two years, so I was only in vanderhoof for two years, but we kept in touch after that. So I see them over the decade. Last night was special. It was the first time we actually played together.

>> It's amazing to look at the old photos and think that you have those friendships still. And we were just listening to the song, summer of '69, best days of your life, you've clearly had more best days of your life. Major career highlights, you were song writing partner for bonnie raitt, aerosmith. How surreal has it been for you considering everything you've accomplished? >> Well, I mean it was a long slow burn. Even before I met bryan, I was in a canadian band. But once I met bryan in 1978, it was not overnight success by any stretch. We worked very hard for five years until bryan and I had a hit together. Then you have a hit and people want to write with you. So ozzie osborn and others started calling. It kind of becomes your normal. Fun people to spend time with. It's hard work, but really enjoyable. I think it's been quite a ride. >> Marianne: it's important to explain it was not overnight success. You are a lesson in perseverance. You really stuck with it. Let's talk about the highs, summer of '69, started with a blank piece of paper. How long did it take to come up with the song? >> It was kind of an on again, off again thing. Bryan -- like you said, it started with a blank piece of paper. We started that song with a discussion, well, what do you want to write about today? We decided to write about our first band or first guitars or first girlfriends and that sort of thing. And then one line at a time, the page started to fill up with lyrics. And we finished the song in a day or two. We thought it was finished, but it wasn't called summer of '69, it was called best days of my life. And it stayed like that for maybe a month. We had another listen and, you know, I think there is a better title. We thought summer of '69. It has a great ring to it. It's pleasing to the ear. So we took that phrase and put it in a few empty spots in the song. That's how that happened. >> Marianne: I do want to get to the fact that you gifted your school pretty cool mementos, there is also a scholarship in your name. Do you ask a lot whether jordie, is still married? >> He is. He was with us last night. Yeah. >> Marianne: decades later. >> Bryan adams wrote the song. There were two people in the room. His first band was shock and his first school. It was a collaborative effort. But when bryan and I were sitting there, we said, what about chuck, what about when gordie got married? Brie january, said, what about jamie and jordie got married. That's how it came to be. >> Marianne: jim did quit, but look at you now. What's your message then to the school? What are the gifts that you gave some of the students there? >> Well, it was really my former band maits who live in vanderhoof. They said what do you think about a scholarship. There is so many talented kids in town that could use opportunities. I immediately said yes. And then last year, I've won four junos and for posterity, one that I have that I kept is sitting on my shelf for the last 30-plus years, [indiscernible]. >> Marianne: I'm so thankful I got to chat with you. It's so nice to chat with you. Thank you again. Similar jal lance. -- jim value lance.

[upbeat rock] >> Marianne: the 31-year-old from newfoundland and labrador made canadian swimming history becoming the first canadian female swimmer to make it through five olympic or paralympic games. She reflected on her career and the upcoming games with cbc news. >> Katarina roxon, the three time olympian. Her dad is a coach. >> After the tokyo games, I just didn't feel like I was done. Like I just -- I didn't know what I was going to accomplish. I didn't know what I was swimming for, but I knew myself that I wasn't done with my swimming journey yet. Lots of ups and downs. We've had lots of ups and downs, but it's been a journey where I've learned a lot about myself and definitely having the support of my family and friends and my partner has been amazing to get me to where I am. My dad is a competitor and I've always been like that since I was a little kid. I've always loved to compete. I don't think that's ever going to go away, no matter when I retire from sport. >> Right on her shoulder, roxon. They named a stretch of highway after her. >> My dad and I talked about it, we talked about what the goal was going into this paralympic year and what I wanted. We talked about it, went back and forth, you know what we're going to throw everything we have into the 100-metre breaststroke. If I make it to any other, that's bonus, but we're going to shoot for the 100-metre breaststroke. Get the time, the standards to make it on the team. And let's focus on getting on that podium this summer. >> Katarina roxon. >> Every opportunity we get whether it's the world games, pan am, it's always such a blessing and an honour. We were chosen to be the representative for our country,

for our town, for our families. And it's always such a great honour. And it's something that I never take for granted. It's a feeling that doesn't get old for me, at least, that I'm always so, so honoured to be -- not only represent canada -- but coming from newfoundland and labrador, I always tell everybody I'm a huge newfie, big fan, you know, so, it's such a blessing I get to represent my province of newfoundland and labrador. >> Marianne: rachel is back with a look at the weather. Summer games around the corner, but we have to get through the spring showers. >> You got it. We're talking about a lot of rain as we end off the month of may. We have a wet person for B.C. a big colorado low coming into ontario, québec and then atlantic canada. I want to show you the rainfall and how it stacks up along the west coast. Sunshine coast could be seeing 50 mm of rain over the next few days. Some of the heaviest coming from tuesday. You can see the showers are a bit lighter across the interior. But we'll have the thunderstorm risk lingering up to prince george. As you look at the 7-day forecast, this doesn't scream june is around the corner. Tt a cooler trend certainly in your forecast. Now speaking of the thunderstorm potential, fort nelson is also in that. This is a big trough draped across alberta down to the south of saskatchewan, so regina likely to get showers. Even winnipeg likely to see showers, sticking around until monday morning. Ontario, the sun rise is beautiful. Burned off a lot of the fog. We'll be seeing a nice day across ontario, cottage country, even to the north, chapleau and timmins. 25 in ottawa. The st. Lawrence will be sparkling today, beautiful conditions. But this will all change monday. Colorado low on the way and the form risk rises across ontario into monday. >> Marianne: recapping our top story. An armed wing of hamas says it launched a missile attack on tel-aviv. The israeli military sounded sirens in the city warning of incoming rockets. Rocket sirens had not been heard in tel-aviv for the past four months. Medical emergency services say they have not received any reports of casualties. The attack signals that the faction is still able to fire long-range rockets. We'll have more on the developing story here on cbc news network. Our top stories are coming up.

Grrrr! [applause] [ ] >> Marianne: hello. You're watching cbc news network. I'm marianne dimain. We begin with breaking news. Hamas is claiming responsibility for a fresh attack on israel. The armed ring of the militant group says it launched a rocket barrage on tel-aviv. Irris makler is here with the details. We know for the first time in months sirens sounding in tel-aviv. What more do we know? >> That's right, tel-aviv and throughout central israel. Haven't been heard there for four months. The rockets came from rafah in the south of the gaza strip. Israel says most of the rockets were intercepted and what we see actually is shrapnel and people who have been injured on their way to a bomb shelter. So no severe injuries, no serious damage, but the fact that it came from rafah and the fact that it came at this stage in the war with hams making the statement this is revenge for israel's massacres for civilians in the gaza strip and it shows their strength, too, that they still have the capacity to do that eight months into this war. The fact that it comes from rafah is significant, because troops are getting closer. When they find the weapons stored, they destroy them. Hamas wanted to use it or lose it before the israeli soldiers exposed them. >> Marianne: this is just breaking, so I know we'll continue to monitor developments and details as they become available. Let's talk about humanitarian aid right now, because there is a new momentum this morning to get humanitarian aid into gaza from egypt with a convoy of trucks bringing in supplies. I know you've been talking about some of the supplies that have seen spoiled over time. What can you tell us about the latest front? >> I can tell you that now there are 15 to 20 tonnes per truck of food, four trucks worth of fuel. All coming from the gaza strip, also coming in via new pictures today, coming from the maritimes, from the sloejen pier, that is american sponsored delivery of aid. But what aid agencies are saying, once it gets in, the distribution is the problem. There is no mechanism now for distributing on the ground. Plus they're trying to avoid a war zone. Yes, it's good news and U.S. president joe biden an intervention with the egyptian president. >> Marianne: earlier this morning we spoke with the medical team leader in gaza for doctors without borders. She told us about her recent experience. >> It was unprecedented. 700,000 people fleeing rafah. [indiscernible] anything, just -- and ending up in -- so they moved here, but they're exhausted. They can't make it anymore. And every extra challenge, they were having access to food supply in rafah, this supply disappears because there is not enough aid coming in. This aid is not reaching them because they moved. It's -- in kerem shalom. It will not. They just want the world to stop because they can't take it anymore. It's really difficult on a daily basis to witness that, to know that we -- rafah wide open, then aid will flow in and reach the people when they need, where they need. [indiscernible] and continue to

strengthen for us to -- across the board. If not, there is no -- just -- and that is beyond our means. But it's extremely frustrating to have a solution just not relief from many, many people on both sides. >> Marianne: hundreds of people have attended the funeral of an israeli hostage whose body was recovered on friday. Brazilian israeli michel nisenbaum was killed on october 7 and his body was then taken into gaza. It was retrieved by an operation by israeli forces. Pressure is mounting on benjamin netanyahu to get the last remaining hostages home. Protests have become commonplace with demonstrators calling for a hostage release as well as fresh elections. Time is running out for a pro-palestinian incapital in the university of toronto. Protesters have been told to leave by 8:00 tomorrow morning. They're scheduled to meet with school administrators later today. >> We are currently preparing our counter-offer. >> Marianne: the protesters say they won't budge until they get a commitment from u of t they will end their funding of israel companies. >> The number of deaths in papua new guinea is growing significantly, following a major landslide on friday. Cbc albert delitala joins us with more on the disaster. What is latest developments? >> Reporter: there are fears the number of deaths could keep going up. Right now they're saying 670 people are feared dead, at least that many. And where they're getting those numbers, it's the U.N. migration agency there. They're saying 150 homes have been buried by the landslide on friday. You can see where it happened on that map there. It's in the remote northern village of yambali. And that landslide burying many dozens of homes. With the earth and rubble to be estimated between six and eight metres deep, so really a massive scale. You can see some of the debris there still falling from that -- the cliff in that picture. The map of the debris trail, it covers an area of three to four soccer fields and also blocking a highway that cuts through the province. Emergency responders have been working throughout the day to move survivors to safer ground, to the side of that debris field. They have set up evacuation centres and they're working to get people to those safer spaces even as we speak. >> Marianne: and, you know, it is a tricky operation right now because as you mentioned this is in a remote area north of the capital. What is leading to how difficult this operation is? >> It's remote, but it is a highly travelled area. It's also densely populated, so that is partly why that number of deaths is estimated to be as high as it is. On top of that, unstable debris is still causing problems, fear of smaller landslides. There is ongoing tribal clashes add to this. Even delaying an aid convoy that was trying to reach people in need of help there. The military had to be called in to let that convoy through. One journalist who is with the newspaper in the capital, she spoke to media about some of these rescue efforts. >> Papua new guinea rescue team already are on its way to the enga province. The location is very hard to access. You can only have helicopters or choppers access that place. >> Reporter: the U.S. and australia have already said they're willing to do what they can to help, but we're still waiting to see if the papua new guinea government if they'll request that international aid. Marianne, global affairs canada, I've reached out to them to see
