CHFD - Thursday, May 23, 2024 - 06:00 a.m. (ET) - Segment #5

intense updrafts of the storms. This is tennis ball sized hail. This is just east of lake simcoe. Kevin smith capturing these images. And here are some video of the actual hail falling into lake simcoe. Pretty impressive stuff. Obviously this can cause damage when it does fall. Just a sign of how powerful the storms were, as they pushed through the area. Power outages, still thousands without power north and west of the city. There was a tornado warn -- a couple of tornado warn cells, one that moved over northern sections of the gta. These are images of the cell, the frequent lightning. The shelf cloud not seeing any significant damage from the storms, but still, a reminder that, hey, you know, when you get the heat and the humidity, you can often see the powerful storms. It's more like a summer feel. More like a summer feel to those storms as well. >> Candace: for sure. Hydro one will be working to get the power restored, but still to despite the active weather north of us, the dome was open last night in toronto, and the jays are about to kick off a stretch there in detroit, with the detroit tigers, is that it? >> Ross: yes, the detroit tigers. 6:40 is the first pitch tonight. >> Candace: yeah,er so the jays are actually also bringing back the home run jacket, which you might recall, when bo bichette hit a home run in the second inning, team brought out the famous jacket that they ended up retiring last year. They also have two games in three cay days with nine runs, impressive for a team that has struggled to score. Again, as we mentioned, the team gets back in action tonight and, you know, you're a big baseball fan, ross. Do you think this is the spark they need? >> Ross: I heard manager john schneider talk about the fact that, you know, I think it's about the players. If this is something that helps the players come together, they can rally around this, hey, it helps. I -- it was interesting that bo bichette was the first player to wear it. He's not often -- he's not often a show-off when it comes to those types of things on the field. He's more quiet. But, hey, he saw the jacket, there was a smile there. And the red carpet came out and I think it was a great moment. Hopefully the jays can keep that momentum going with the offense with the series in detroit. >> Candace: time will tell, and what time does that game start, do you know? >> Ross: 6:40 tonight. Great weather for it. >> Candace: great weather Yes!Ooh, it's on! Announcer: Abbott Elementary, season finale tonightat 7:30 et on Global. Okay, and root beer to drink? No. [gasping] What?

[ ] >> Candace: hello, everyone. Thank you so much for joining us on this thursday, may the 23rd. Good morning to you, ross. >> Ross: good morning, candace. Well, you can feel it out there, not quite as humid as it has been of late. When is the next chance of unsettled weather? We talk about the weekend just ahead. >> Candace: sounds good, plus your top stories, with the kilmer sports venture group holding a press conference this morning. What could mean for the wnba in toronto. >> Antony: plus, britain is heading to the polls. Rishi sunak calling a snap general election months earlier than expected. >> Ross: well ark cold front that pushed east, in the wake of it, not quite as humid. I'll show you the next chance of showers. The forecast details are just ahead. >> Announcer: you're watching global toronto. This is "global news morning." [ ] >> Candace: good morning. Two people are fighting for their lives in hospital, after a shooting in mississauga. Jaden lee-lincoln joins us now from the scene with what we know so far. Good morning, jaden. >> Reporter: dworng, candace. Many parents are waking up this morning, a little alarmed to find out that the shooting actually happened in a school parking lot here in mississauga. This is at settlers green public school, right near winston churchill and battleford road. As you can see in the parking lot, multi. Evidence markers, I counted 17 or 18 evidence markers and also a mercedes-benz that looks to be part of the investigation for police. Keep in mind, this is an on going investigation. Yes, what we know is that two people are in hospital, following this double shooting. The suspect or suspects are still on the loose. No information about that either. Peel paramedics tell us that they arrived on scene, but ended up leaving the scene because it was the two people themselves that were shot that ended up bringing themselves to the hospital. Now, keep in mind, this is a residential area. Again, this is right by settlers green public school. So the big question is, what happens with the school? Well, I'll let you know that it looks like the parking lot is taped off. The playground, for the most part, is taped off, but the school itself looks like it's going to be open this morning. There is a command post that is set up just out front of the school. A lot of times command posts are put there to lelt people into the community know, hey, police are here, don't worry. We're on the look out. It looks like they'll be set up there for the day. It seems as though the school will be open for the day, although many parents and students might be a little bit worried about heading to class today. Again, the investigation continues. It sounds like there will be a heavy police presence in this area for a large portion of the day, candace. Back to you. >> Candace: jaden, thank you so much. Members of the kilmer sports ventures group are holding a press conference later this morning in toronto. Several media outlet's reported earlier this month the wnba will award a franchise to the group. If confirmed, the deal first reported by the cbc would see this new toronto team likely take the court in 2026. A man in his 20s has been rushed to hospital wednesday night, with life threatening injuries, after he was stabbed in north york. It happened just after 5 at jane street and alliance avenue near black creek drive. No word from police on suspects and the investigation continues. Toronto police announced the completion of a cold case on wednesday. This is a sketch of a woman found dead in august of 2017 in the lake at humber bay. She had no id, and all efforts to identify her, including the release of the composite sketch failed. And then in january 2023, toronto police traced the woman to switzerland. Further dna comparisons confirmed the woman to be a person from a region in switzerland. The family has been informed. Base the case is not criminal. Her name is not being released.

>> Candace: you know, ross, as a principle, I try not to wring out the ac or turn it on until june at the earliest, but turns out I might have been justified if I did turn it on yesterday. >> Ross: for sure. I had the air conditions on in my house too. It was uncomfortable. If you didn't have ac, with the warmth and humidity of late. For those who don't, who are affected by the humidity more than others, more comfortable out there today. A beautiful day in store, with plenty of sunshine. Let's start off with a look at temperatures. So at this time yesterday, we were more towards the high teens, low 20s, and the humidex was already into the 20s. We're close to be the mid teens when it comes to temperatures out there. And our humidex values are going to lean more towards the high 20s today, instead of mid 30s. There is humidity out there, but not as stifling as it hand been. Remaining showers, a bit of cloud cover too. That's pretty much it. We have a ridge building in behind that front. That's going to give us clear skies and sunshine for the next couple of days. Today, close to mid 20s in toronto, 26 in london, not the high 20s we got to yesterday. Even the 30s in some areas. And for the overnight low, that drops to 13°, comfortable sleeping weather as well. Same situation on friday. Now, we have to watch out for the potential for some wet weather saturday, likely through the late morning, into the afternoon, that will quickly move out. And we'll see a drier sunday. Let's break down the next three days. 23, 24, 25°, depending on where you are across the gta on friday. 21 with the chance of showers and thunderstorms on saturday. Up to 22 sunday. Sun/cloud mix, more unsettled weather and wet weather through next week. And that's a look at your ok tire weather. >> Candace: debate is expected to continue at city hall over construction that cloegsed the garner expressway. Why is that only happening now, two months into the project? City hall reporter matthew bingley reports. >> Reporter: making room for the gardiner expressway's western overhaul has seen traffic moving at a snail's pace everywhere else. >> It is totally unreasonable to ask torontonians and folks from across the entire gta to put up with this for the next three years. >> Reporter: councillor brad bradford has a motion before council asking staff look at expediting the work to minimize the years of congestion-related pain. >> Yes, it is a bit redundant. >> Reporter: the mayor said staff are already looking into the issue and contractors are testing noise thresholds for 24-hour construction. But chow couldn't say why the project speed is being considered months after lane restrictions began. >> I don't know why it wasn't done, but if we don't do it now, the damn thing will fall down. I shouldn't say it that way. You know, it has to be rebuilt. It has to be rebuilt in order to be safe. And we are doing what we can and perhaps it can be done earlier. >> Reporter: the city manager says there will remain limitations in whatever measures are taken. >> If there are ways we can expedite some work, fantastic. But there is also an expectation of how construction takes place in the city. So some of those things would have to be compromises that torontonians would have to live with. >> Reporter: johnson said that may have to include looking at ways the city rolls out future construction downtown. Councillors like josh matlow think debating that should be done now and not in july. >> Toronto city council is meant to reflect our resident priorities, and focus on resolving our problems. So I hope that we do have an opportunity to discuss it. I think the residents want us to discuss the things that are important to them. >> Candace: canada's largest documentary film festival is temporarily shuttering its flag ship theater in toronto for three months, beginning in mid june. The hot docs festival announced the ted rogers cinema closure on wednesday, and that they're laying off staff as they weather financial difficulties. The festival explained their decision in a statement, saying given the slow post pandemic recovery and operating deficit brought by it. A temporary closure was necessary. Hot docs said anyone who bought a ticket for a screening or an event happening after june 12th will get an automatic refund. Canada's greatest soccer star is getting her very even barbie doll. Christine sinclair is being honoured by mattel at the toy manufacture's campaign to celebrate women in sports who have broken boundaries.
