Organizers of the pro palestinian encampment at the university of toronto are expected to respond today to a conditional offer put forward by the school on thursday. The encampment has occupied kings college circle for three weeks now. That's where we find jaden lee-lincoln with the latest. >> Reporter: good morning, candace. Things could come to a head soon after the university's latest statement that was issued just yesterday, giving students and those involved in the pro palestinian encampment 24 hours to consider clearing out. You mentioned three weeks of in person negotiations, e-mails, but both sides still coming to a stalemate. Just yesterday in that statement issued by the president, he said, in part, that they have been patient while this shared space has been taken over, but the principles of inclusion have been violated. They listed what they are willing to do for students. They said they issued a public statement on their commitment to academic freedom and human rights. And they said they would begin talks of divestment and disclosure requests and apoint a review committee on where the university can improve, but they stopped short of coming out fully with a full divestment and disclosure. And they made clear in the statement they will not terminate any partnerships with israeli universities, and they have rejected the notion of cutting ties with international partner institutions. So not quite the deal pro palestinian protesters here are looking for. And students have made it clear that they won't be moving until their demands are met. Here is more from both sides. >> Many members of the community feel increasing distress by the presence of the encampment. They feel unsafe. Any have reported feelings of -- and experience of discrimination and harassment. We have also had reports of hateful speech and hateful acts, which we have reported promptly to toronto police service. >> While the protesters are appalled by the offer the university made, it's a disgrace of an offer. The administration claims they want the encampment to come to a peaceful conclusion, but they attempt to blind side us at every turn. >> Reporter: it seems both sides are standing firm where they are. Keep in mind, graduation is coming up in about 10 days or so. And the university will want to use king's college circle for some of the ceremonies. So they likely could issue a notice in the coming days to police as well. You know, we know that police are involved or they have been monitoring the situation. Mostly it has within security here, but police have said, in the past, that they are willing to get involved at the university's request. We'll be hearing from organizers of the pro palestinian encampment at 11 A.M. today. Again, we'll see where things stand. Looks like we're coming to a head here at the u of t campus. Candace candace. >> Candace: thanks, jaden. Police forces across the gta are cracking down on dangerous driving. The annual campaign, called project erase, which stands for eliminate racing activity on streets everywhere, officially launched on thursday. In toronto, there has been a 31% increase in calls for dangerous driving since last year. Crime specialest catherine mcdonald reports. >> Reporter: just last month, two young men were killed here in mississauga, after investigators say they were involved in an alleged street race gone wrong. It's this kind of dangerous driving behavior police want to stop. The ultimate goal of project erase >> It was just before 10 P.M. on april the 4th, when the drive and passenger in this white audi were killed, after a three-car collision at eglinton and dixie road in mississauga. Police say the white audi and this green audi sedan were traveling at a high rate of speed northbound on dixie. When both collided with a honda suv turning left. The driver of the white audi lost control and slammed into this hydro pole. The family have identified the victim of global news, both originally from albania, they were living in toronto for about

a year. Police say neither man was wearing a seatbelt. Weeks after the deadly collision, the driver of the green audi, 25-year-old man, was charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death. Racing and speeding. His driver's license was suspended for 30 days, and his car was impounded for two weeks. >> Dangerous driving behaviors put lives at risk. And we will not tolerate it. >> Reporter: peel police have partnered with other police agencies across the province during project erase. Which stands for eliminating racing activities on streets everywhere. Officers say they will be enforcing speed limits and tackling aggressive and impaired drivers to keep the roads safe >> We ask anyone to applies do your part. And remind drivers about the inherit risks and consequences of dangerous stunt driving and racing. >> Thankfully in this case, the driver of the honda, who was struck by the suspected street racers suffered nonlife threatening injuries. And police are asking for the public's help. If you see someone driving aggressively or observe a street race, you're asked to call police immediately, or crime stoppers anonymously, at 1-800-222-tips. Catherine mcdonald, global news. >> Candace: toronto city council has voted to maintain the ban on e scooters, despite the fact there are thousands of them used every day in the city. Toronto has no jurisdiction to prevent the sale of e scooters, and for the most part, the ban is not enforced by police. The ban is being maintained for liability reasons. >> We see, in cities that adopt e scooter pilots that the crashes is people who are riders goes way, way up and that's not a situation that we're going to solve until we have better standards for the equipment. >> Candace: council did, however, pass a motion to find out how many e scooters are in toronto. A country of all micro mobility devices will happen in the fall. [ ] >> Candace: okay, ross, here we are on a friday. How is the weekend shaping up. >> Ross: it's looking good. The warm pattern we have experienced of late will continue. Wall to wall sunshine, just beautiful, and changes on the way for saturday that we will time out for you, due to an advancing low pressure system. Let's start off with wider perspective this morning, what you need to know. Not a lot around southern ontario and the gta happening weather wiedz. We start off with clear skies, sunshine, this disturbance moving from west to east. A little lightning associated with it at this hour around portions of the U.S. plains, into the midwest, and it will bring potential for some showers, the risk of a thunderstorm by late morning, into the afternoon tomorrow. You can see there is a front pushing through eastern ontario,er but pushing through dry for the most part. Temperatures, a little more comfortable tonight, or last night, into this morning, not quite as humid. And we're looking at temperatures reaching the mid to high 20s again today. That humidex will be near 30. It's when it starts to get above 30, closer to 35 that it starts to get uncomfortable. So I wouldn't call it uncomfortable out there. Mostly sunny skies. And we're going to get, as I mentioned, near 25. Overnight tonight, some cloud cover, down to 12, and let's take a look at the future cast. Heading into the weekend, quiet today, then it's into tomorrow. Late morning, mid-morning this model showing could be, into the late morning and early afternoon. The risk of thunderstorms. There could be some gusty winds, depending on the timing of the storms. If they arrive later with peak daytime heating, possibility of hail, watch out for lightning associated with the storms. By the evening, we should dry out, sunday, a sun/cloud mix, late sunday, into early monday, there is potential for wet weather. Much of the weekend is dry. Let's break down the weekend. Up near 10, 20, 21° tomorrow afternoon. 23° sunday, with sun/cloud mix, and more unsettled weather heading into next week. That's a look at your ok tire weather. Candace. >> Candace: thanks, ross. I don't believe we had a word all day >> Candace: a celebration of canadian music icon, gordon lightfoot on what would have been his 85th birth days was held at massey hall. A concert futures the lightfoot band took the stage he performed on many times throughout his career. The artists honouring the music legend by performing a set of lightfoot songs. >> When you lose somebody like gordon, it's still a shock. He was kind of the guiding light to canadian musicians staying in canada and so, you know, nobody is going the take his place >> I always fully respected him as the boss. And he was a great leader. He worked very hard. He had a fantastic work ethic. He drove himself the hardest of anybody I have seen in that possession as being the leader, the boss, the song writer. >> Candace: lightfoot passed
