with no place to call home. - Well, sounds familiar. - Actually, you have lots of space on your property. It kinda would be the perfect place for a horse like this to roam free. - Seriously? I-I just opened up my ball diamond to a couple of old rodeo guys and now you want me to open my field to some old stallion? - So you'll do it? - (Sighs heavily) What the hell. I could probably use some company. - (Laughs) (Stallion grunts) (SUV rumbles to a halt) (Engine shuts off, door clicks open, shuts) - I can't believe it's time to check out already. - Well, I hope you enjoyed your stay. - It was fabulous. Especially reconnecting with you. I hope you can forgive me for what I did all those years ago. - Well, I guess it turned out okay in the end. - It sure did. (Laughs) I think that I did you, and your family, and the whole town of Hudson a favour by getting you fired. - Oh yeah? Well, that is definitely a "glass half full" way of looking at it. - I do feel more centered here than I have in a long time. Plus, everywhere is a photo just waiting to be taken. - You know, you're welcome back here any time. - Any chance I could extend my stay? - Well, I haven't put up my new website yet, so you are ahead of the onslaught of bookings I'm expecting. Just let me know how long you want the cabin for. - Okay, that's great. I will figure out a checkout date and I'll let you know really soon. - Okay. - Lou... - Yeah? - You really did turn out exactly the way that I thought you would, and I have to say that makes me really proud. - (Small laugh) (Birds chirp) - I wish you didn't have to leave already. We're really gonna miss you around here. - Yeah... me too. - Well, you come by anytime you like. - I will, because... I think I'm ready to try riding. - Yeah? - The way you were with that stallion, the connection you have with horses... I want you to teach me how to ride Mickey. But we have to take it slow. - I promise. (Vehicle door opens) Lou: Hey! You leaving already? - Yeah, her dad's back, so I'm gonna drive her over there. - Well, actually, I'd like to do that, if that's okay with you? - Really? After all the trouble I caused you with the protests and stuff? - I actually have a few green initiatives I wanted to run by you. Come on, we can talk about it on the way. Oh! You are not alone You are not alone - Oh! Take care. You are not alone - (Amy sighs) (Horse snorts) - Thanks for helping me lead him to Sam's. - (Chuckles) No problem. - Hmm. You know, this guy means a lot to me. Working with him has brought back so many memories of Ty and I. This horse really brought us together. - Yeah. - Grandpa... - Yeah? - when will I stop dreaming of Ty, stop seeing his face everywhere I look? - Amy, I can't promise that's gonna stop, but what I can tell you is, pretty soon those dreams and memories of Ty won't haunt you anymore, they'll bring you comfort. And whatever is keeping you up at night right now, that'll feel like a warm blanket. - You know, Parker said I should talk to her dad. I just don't think I could spill my guts to a stranger. Luckily, I have you for that. (Laughs) - (Chuckles) Say no, you are not alone You are not alone You are not alone Oh, you are not alone You are not alone

[ ] >> Andrew: hello, I'm andrew nichols. This is cbc news network. We want to tell you about an amber alert. Two children, ages two and three were adopted -- abducted about three kilometres east of québec city. The suspect is a 40-year-old man. The amber alert does not specify the suspect's relation to the children. The public is asked to be on the lookout for 2013 white honda civic. The license plate is 53 vac. Anyone who sees a suspect, the toddlers or the vehicle should call 911. >>> Overseas now, israel says they will investigate its military over an airstrike in rafah overnight. The hamas run health ministry says the attack killed orgy five palestinians who were sheltering in the area. The informal tent encampment was reduced to ruins on sunday night. The gaza health ministry says more than 20 of those killed were women and seniors. The same officials also said almost 250 people were wounded. The airstrike has sparked global outrage and happened less than three days after the U.N. world court ordered israel to abandon its offensive in rafah. >>> Sarah coates joins me live in tel aviv. Take us through what happened in rafah and the reaction. >> Reporter: this was an area that was declared as a safe zone. An area where many people were sheltering. They were describing absolute horrors. There are pictures of people pulling others out of fire to wild paramedics on the ground have told afp that bodies were absolutely ripped to pieces. We have heard some reaction from the israeli prime minister. He has come out to say that this is a tragic era also further reaction from the israeli military says it did not expect the strike to harm civilians, adding before the attack, many steps were taken to reduce the chances of harm to uninvolved people, including a visual aerial inspection and the use of precision weaponry and intelligence operations adding the i.d.f.'s top-tier fact-finding mechanisms will investigate. We have also heard from the u.n.'s p palestinian refugee agency. He is the director of unrwa. He has come out to say that a number of unrwa employees are actually missing. A little earlier, the group were posting on x. That no one is safe, no place is safe, adding that gaza is like hell on earth. We have also heard from the e.u.'s foreign policy chief who has announced the reactivation of an E.U. border mission. Let's take a listen to what he said a little earlier. >> This is really a dilemma. How the international community can make it implementable and enforce the info mente of this. -- enforce the implementation of this. >> Reporter: there was a barrage of rockets fired by hamas from rafah into central israel including right here in tel aviv, activating red alert sirens for the first time in these months. They were forced to rush to shelter. The iron dome missile defence systems did intercept a number of these incoming rockets. Not all of them and one rocket hitting a home further north of where I am standing, injuring one person. >> Andrew: we are also hearing about an egyptian soldier killed near gaza's rafah border. What can you tell us about that? >> Reporter: both that the egyptians the israelis have confirmed saying that they have opened an investigation into the incident and they are communicating. We do have a statement from the egyptian military posted on x. A little while ago saying the egyptian armed forces are conducting an investigation through the competent authority regarding a shooting incident in the border area in rafah, which led to the martyrdom of one of their personnel. Important to note here that there is no mention of israel in this statements. It certainly brings into question the decades long peace treaty tween these two nations and also potentially causing problems for the potential cease-fire and a hostage talks that potentially could get underway this week even that egypt has been one of the key

mediators and all of this. >> Andrew: sarah, thank you. >>> Here at home, the university of toronto has taken legal action against pro- palestinian demonstrators after they ignored a deadline this morning to take down their encampments. The protesters remain on-campus on campus this hour and the tents that have been there for almost a month are still in place. Meagan fitzpatrick is at the university university entrance me live. What is happening where you are right now? >> Reporter: it is pretty quiet here now but earlier this morning there was a large rally held just before the encampment in front of convocation hall with supporters of the catchments, including a number of labor unions that helps organize the rally. The rally was being held in response to the trust past of trespass notice that have been issued to the testers of today evening ordering them to evacuate by 8:00 am this morning. As you can see behind me, they have not left. The university issuing a statement this morning. Here's part of what it said... The school says they continue to engage in discussions. They held a long and productive meeting yesterday with representative of the camp they will meet again today. That is scheduled for 5:00 pm today. The school is saying they remain hopeful they can reach an agreement and the unauthorized encampment to an end. The university has been saying all along since encampment started that the student protesters are trespass. The school has said they have been patient but it is now time for this encampment to end. They say they have allowed this to go on, allowed students to exercise their right to freedom, that they consider -- their right to protest but they do consider this private property and say that will policies are being violated and that they have taken over the encampment using this space to the exclusion of use by other students. They also say they received reports of hate beach and harassment connected to the encampments. Those complaints were forwarded to toronto police. The school had warned that there could be repercussions for continuing to issue that trespass notice on friday, which obviously has been ignored with the encampments still going this morning. >> Andrew: how are students responding to all of this? >> Reporter: the protesters say that the offer from the school that was made on thursday they in response to their demands wasn't good enough. They did not consider it offer. They said it was a first offer. The school, their demands include having the university divest from any investment from the school's endowment fund or other financial and that are invested in companies that have ties to companies that support the israeli military. They want the university to disclose their investments and they want university to cut any academic ties with certain israeli institutions. The university is saying they will not meet that demand about cutting ties with certain academic institutions but they have offered to set up an advisory committee to look at divestment and set up a working group to talk about disclosure. The students are saying they don't want committees, they want commitments. They want the school to immediately commit to divesting. Here's more of what we heard from one of the student organizers about the latest court action that the school is now pursuing. >> The university went to court and sought an injunction to essentially compel the court called 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 students so they are trying to use the courts to compel the lease to come here which again, we find truly quite appalling that they are doing all these things instead of meeting with their students and committing to divesting. >> Reporter: the school has said they want to avoid having police involved in clearing this encampments. The school has also warned that students participating in the encampment could face disciplinary action including suspension, expulsion and disciplinary action could also be taken against faculty supporting the encampment the school has warned. There were faculty apps the rally this morning. For now, andrew, we await any outcome from today's meeting between the student protesters and the school and then, meanwhile, we are expecting tomorrow lawyers for the parties involved to have a meeting to essentially set a date and time for the injunction hearing to
