Here's jeremie charron. >> Inside this courtroom in the netherlands today, a landmark emergency ruling in a case brought forward by south africa, accusing israel of genocide is that has not sufficiently at the base and despair. The concern. That is why it's been a few offensive enough and a strict order from the world court is the most immediately court its money through a fence. And any other action and that a foreign government. Which may conflict on the palestinian group in gaza. Conditions will fly that could bring about its physical destruction. The president of the court also ordered israel to open the rafah border crossing to allow humanitarian aid in calling the situation in gaza catastrophic. Canada's position has been clear for many, many weeks now. We need an immediate cease-fire >> Hamas needs to lay down its arms release. All hostages. But there also must be no more military operations in rafah. >> The court also called for the release of all remaining hostages. And while it's order is legally binding, the icj lacks the power to enforce it. The international court of justice doesn't have its own army. It doesn't have its own police. It depends the security council to implement its orders. This is the 3rd time the court has issued orders for israel to pull back and address the humanitarian suffering in gaza. But israel has been accused of ignoring their orders in the past. Israeli spokesman have announced and essentially israel will not comply with the order that they will continue their operation. Israel has repeatedly dismissed accusations of genocide. >> Insisting it has the right to defend itself from hamas. >> South africa's wider case here accuses israel of state led genocide against palestinians.

The post says the coalition remains committed to open discussions. The provincial government is accelerating its alcohol sales expansion. Moose will be available at corner stores by the end of the summer, much sooner than originally planned. Siobhan morris reports. >> The premier doesn't drink alcohol, but has been pledging for years to put it in closer reach. We're getting it done faster. In fact, we're getting it done starting this summer, starting august, first grocers and big box stores that already sell alcohol can add seltzers, pre-mixed drinks and bigger cases of beer up to 30. And on september, the 5th convenience stores like this one will be able to sell beer cider wine and ready to drink alcoholic beverages and starting halloween. More big retailers can sell if they're licensed. The expansion more than a year ahead of schedule to make it happen. 225 million taxpayer dollars goes to the beer store through the transition words going has to make sure that we protect the beer store employees to make sure they know they're going to be taken care of. >> We're going to audit every single penny to make sure it's going in the right place.

own the beer store, a gift from taxpayers while pushing recycling costs onto grocers and consumers and members will have to take a serious look at whether or not selling alcohol under this framework.
