occupied west bank, praised the move. >> The recognition today of three important european countries is very important for the sake of this -- for the sake of seeking a two-state solution according to the international rule. >> Reporter: the three countries have called on others to follow their lead. A firm "no" from the u.s., restating its commitment to a two-state solution negotiated between the parties. Canada holds a similar position. >> Prime Minister Trudeau: we oppose efforts by the netanyahu government to reject a two-state solution. We are prepared to recognize a state of palestine at the right time. >> Reporter: spain, norway and ireland say they will formally recognize the palestinian state next week. Norway says that it plans to upgrade its office in the west bank into an embassy. Kris reyes, cbc news, new york. >> Asha: hope for a two-state solution are decades old, and negotiations have started and failed many times. Ellen mauro looks at the many roadblocks to making it work. You can watch that story any time on the "the national's" YouTube page. >>> Staying in the middle east we have a disturbing look of the capture of female israeli soldiers by hamas militants on october 7th. In a moment you will see body cam footage of bloodied women. As sasa petricic explains, the families of hostages desperate for their return, push to have the video made public. >> Reporter: as hamas fighters surged into israel early october 7th, they started by attacking a base of so-called spotters. Unarmed female soldiers. Their job was to watch the gaza border. Many were among the first victims -- five 19-year-olds in pyjamas among the first hostages, handcuffed and insulted. It was all captured by hamas body cam. The edited version now made public by the israeli government, complying with the demands of hostage families. Staring at the women, a fighter says suggestively -- "you are so beautiful." and another is heard saying "they are girls who can get pregnant." amid fighting, they are forced into jeeps, driven to gaza like some 250 israelis taken that day. >>(speaking alternate language). >> Reporter: parents like orly gilboa, watching her daughter daniela in despair. >> It's one of my biggest fears, you know, as a young woman to be there in their hands. You don't know what they are capable of. >> I am just scared and I am hurting for her. And I'm frustrated. >> Reporter: that same frustration has sparked ongoing protests by hostage families, demanding a ceasefire deal with hamas to release the remaining hostages. Like the one that saw 105 returned six months ago. They hope that israel's war cabinet will be spurred into action by the videos released. >> We have to use this weapon against our government so they will see it and they will start pushing themselves to do something to going to a deal. >> Reporter: those talks stalled two weeks ago after proposals and counter proposals were rejected by both sides. Since then, a hostage deal reportedly hasn't even been discussed by israel's leadership. Sasa petricic, cbc news, toronto. >> Asha: another woman is accusing rapper and music mogul sean diddy combs of assault. A former model has filed a lawsuit saying that combs sexually assaulted her back in 2003. She claims that he gave her alcohol and marijuana and then forced her to perform sex acts. Earlier this week, combs issued a video apology in response to a different incident -- a recording of him attacking cassie, his former girlfriend.

>>> Canadians looking to buy some olive oil may be experiencing sticker shock. >> Retail prices in canada on average have gone up 25%, 26% since january. >> Asha: so is there any relief in sight?

It's not yet known how many jobs will be affected.

>>> The cost of olive oil is way up across the country. Prices are soaring, and some shoppers are thinking twice before they buy. Erin collins looks at what is driving the increase and how long it could last. >> Reporter: dubbed liquid gold by some, the price of olive oil is surging on shelves across canada. But that spike is no deterrent for some. >> I'm going to pay the price because I'd rather have the quality. >> Reporter: still, rising olive oil prices have other shoppers thinking twice. >> It's almost getting to the point where, you know, if it gets worse, then you just won't buy it anymore. >> Reporter: drought in europe devastating olive crops, driving the uptick in prices. >> Retail prices in canada on average have gone up 25%, 26% since january. >> Reporter: and experts say that climate change means high prices could be here to stay. >> I think that it already is considered as a luxury item at the grocery store. It certainly is a luxury vegetable oil. >> Reporter: that dry weather in southern europe impacting olive crops there -- >> We only produce about 25% of the olive oil that we normally produce. >> Reporter: and business at this alberta-based company that produces olive oil in greece. >> A challenge because it's more expensive to produce it. We now have to invest a great deal of capital and also a challenge to sell it to customers. >> Reporter: back at the market a warning that the prices could go up again in the fall. >> They're predicting around a 45%, almost 50% increase. >> Reporter: and some advice for those facing olive oil sticker shock. >> So if people are struggling with the increase in the prices of olive oil, is there anything that they can do? >> There's a couple of options, they can either purchase an olive oil that is maybe not extra virgin olive oil, or they can opt for a blend of one like this right here, a mixture of sunflower oil and olive oil. >> Reporter: like all gold -- cheaper when it is diluted. Erin collins, cbc news, calgary. >> Asha: an ontario healthcare centre is dropping thousands of patients, leaving them with no family doctor and few options. >> Reporter: what are you going to do? >> Can I know very honest -- I don't know. >> Asha: why doctors say that they had no choice. >> I know that without care -- [indiscernible] >> Asha: india's prime minister vies for an historic third term.

But as catharine tunney tells us, it already looks like there could be a few speed bumps. >> Reporter: when it comes to the rcmp and horsepower, this might come to mind. But soon enough this could be the norm. Responding to a federal request to switch its fleet to zero-emission vehicles by 2035. >> We want to see what is in the realm of possible and be ahead of the curve. >> Reporter: an unprecedented challenge at that. The rcmp has the largest land fleet in north america, roughly 12,000 vehicles on the road, including in many remote communities. >> It's not just taking retail and putting it out on the road. There's all kinds of equipment that goes into the vehicle and that in itself is already very complicated. >> Reporter: this tesla needed to be fitted with lights, a radio, computer, and a new back seat for suspected criminals. One lesson learned so far -- this glass roof -- not ideal. >> It's not the best vehicle for someone who might be trying to escape from the car. >> Reporter: the rcmp says that teslas like this probably aren't suited for every detachment, but it's giving them valuable data on how mounties can go electric. Charging is easy in ottawa. But it is a major concern for remote areas where the rcmp has jurisdiction. >> When you head out into the prairies and the northern part of canada, and the northern parts of our provinces as well, we cover a lot of ground and our detachment area is quite large. >> Reporter: the force is going ahead this year and testing more E.V. models including the ford f-150 lightning, similar to the gas model already in the fleet across the country. Even as the pilot ramps up, it's unlikely that northern and remote detachments will see an E.V. any time soon. >> They don't want to put them into a situation where they might fail and put a member at risk. >> Reporter: there's not an upfront cost of buying new E.V.s and they also say that it's too soon to tell how much they'll save in the long run on gas. Catharine tunney, cbc news, ottawa. >> Asha: now it's time to dig deeper into the stories shaping our world. ( ) how india's narendra modi is using religion to build devotion and to help to clinch the election. >> Something is there, it's our internal energy. >> Asha: but, first, a northern ontario city in crisis. >> Reporter:THIS is a place where 10,000 people are about to lose their family doctor. >> Asha: and many are elderly. >> Reporter: what are you going to do? >> Can I be very honest -- I don't know. >> I think they have every right to be scared. >> Asha: at the end of the month, in a little more than a week, that's when most patients will be cut loose and on their own to find care. Nick purdon breaks down all of the reasons they're so afraid. >> Okay, I'm going to take a listen to your heart. People will get sicker and this will cause health problems and an exacerbation of health issues for people with health problems that no longer have healthcare. This is devastating. >> Across ontario this is death. >> Reporter:YOU can see the effects of the primary care crisis all across the country, but probably the most dramatic example is about to happen here in sault ste. Marie, ontario. In a town of 70,000 people, 10,000 are about to lose their family doctor. >> Nobody realizes how helpless you actually feel when you realize that you can't access anything without a doctor first. That's the entry level to our healthcare system. >> Reporter: that's mike depratt. He's one of the 10,000. In fact, everyone at this meeting at the local union hall will soon be de-rostered. That's what they call it when you lose your family doctor. >> My name is barry armstrong and I'm 85 years old. I will be de-rostered at the end of may. I suspect that I will never have a family doctor during my lifetime. >> To me it's creating a lot of anxiety that I don't have a doctor. And going to emergency -- I've

had to do that a couple of times. One was a 12-hour wait to say, could you please renew my prescription. >> If anything happens, if I have issues like I've had in the past and if I don't have the medical doctor, I'm not making it. Because it's going to take too long to figure out what is wrong with me. I will be six feet under. >> Reporter: everyone here now struggles with those kind of sentiments. What's going on with primary care is the biggest issue in sault ste. Marie today by far. And what you need to know is that almost everyone who lives here when they go to see their family doctor they come to this building. This is a group health centre. This is the place where 10,000 people are about to lose their family doctor. Now, obviously, that is not a good news story. But when I called them it surprised me that they were happy to talk with us about the situation. Dr. Jody stewart, a family doctor herself, is the C.E.O. of the algoma district medical group. She is in charm of the physicians who work here. Why are you de-rostering the patients in a city of 70,000? >> At this point we don't have the manpower in terms of providers to provide ongoing care to those patients. >> Reporter: dr. Stewart says that the reality here is no different than anywhere in the country. There's a shortage of family doctors to replace those who leave or retire. I spoke to some patients who are being de-rostered and they're angry and frustrated and scared. >> Yeah. >> Reporter: and they don't blame it on the doctor shortage necessarily and they blame it on you and they blame it on the group -- the group health centre. What would you say to them? >> I understand their feelings. I understand being scared. I think they have every right to be scared. These 10,000 people, these families in these 10,000 people -- my kids' teachers are in these 10,000 people are friends are definitely in this 10,000 people. So it's not easy. >> Reporter: so this for you as a family doctor in this position is personal? >> Oh, yes. Yes. This keeps me up at night. I worry about the health of this community long term. It's very personal. Yeah. >> Reporter: it becomes clear as we talk that leaving 10,000 people without primary care is taking a toll on dr. Stewart. >> Sorry. >> Reporter: what is the worry? >> These are people that I know, these are the people that I love. And I know that without primary care, they won't do well. We know, and statistics show that if you don't have a family doctor or good comprehensive primary care, your chronic disease will not be managed and you'll end up in emerg, and end up in hospital and you will end up in long-term care. [indiscernible] it's not what I want for any of the members of the community. >> Reporter: the news about the 10,000 has shaken sault ste. Marie. That's because since the 1960s when the group health centre was built, it's always been a source of pride here. The local steelworkers built it as a place for people to get their healthcare even before medicare existed across canada. >> The first time that I came through the doors of the group health centre here in sault, I was a newborn being carried by my mother in a basinet and now years later, decades later, I am very proud and honoured to work here as a paediatrician. >> Reporter: he has been very public about defending the group health centre. He says that the news about the 10,000 doesn't mean that the place is broken. >> What I'm worried about is that people are losing faith in this as an institution. The group health centre is the model that the rest of the province should be following in order to rescue healthcare. I worry that the group health centre because of this large de-roster is receiving negative perspectives amongst the population. Hi, how are you? >> Reporter: dr. Delavodova still believes in this place and he wants to show me how it works. >> Follow my finger with your eyes. >> Reporter: he sees 9-year-old camilla for her diabetes. >> Very good. And the sugars -- >> Reporter: what is different here is if he orders blood work or any other tests, she can get it done without ever leaving the building. She can also see another specialist. There are 80 primary care and

specialist physicians who work here. >> What could have been three or four different visits we can accomplish with all of the professionals that she needs to see in the same room. >> Reporter: he says that it's more efficient this way and saves money. He doesn't want people in sault ste. Marie to forget the importance of this place. He says even after the de-rostering and with the shortage of doctors, 50,000 people will still continue to get their care here. How does that work that this is supposed to be the solution but you are de-rostering 10,000 people? >> Yeah, I think that, one, the doctors are just not there. Right. We have family doctor graduates who are not choosing to do family medicine. We have empty family medicine residency spots because people would rather choose any other specialty than family medicine right now. So something has to change within the practise itself. >> Reporter: but in the meantime the stark reality remains -- 10,000 people are about to lose their family doctor here. Josée tenasa is one of them. >> I am so grateful that I have such wonderful doctors. I have been so grateful all of these years that I had them. And I could get at them. And I can call them. >> Reporter: josée has been going to the group health centre since she was young. >> My doctor saved my life because I had a brain tumour and she realised that and I was immediately sent to have brain surgery to have that tumour removed. And that's why I'm here today. >> Reporter: but on may 31st, josée, at 79 years old, will be one of the 10,000 to lose her family doctor. What are you going to do? >> Can I be very honest -- I don't know. I don't know. I would have to go either to emergency -- nobody knows my history -- thank god so far I've been okay but who knows what happens next week, next moment, I don't know. >> Asha: nick, things look bad for the sault right now but they could get worse. Walk us through that. >> Reporter: they predict by the end of 2024, somewhere around 0% of people in sault ste. Marie could be without primary care which is startling. And it is a fluid situation because we have learned this week that 3,000 of the 10,000 that have been de-rostered could find a new home in a new clinic opening. But primary care is in decline in sault ste. Marie. And what surprised me is when I spoke to people. Of course they're worried about their own healthcare, but they're all worried about something bigger too -- that's the future of their town. Will people want to move there if primary care is in trouble? This is a problem for small cities and towns all across the country. >> Asha: a definite crisis. Thank you, nick. >> Reporter: you're welcome. >> Asha: india's prime minister is set to clinch a third term as his popularity seemingly grows. >> Draw your hands together for the influencer of influencers, the honourable narendra modi. >> Asha: his strongman tactics to win another election next.
