And at least eight people are dead and hundreds of thousands are without power as severe storms sweep through the central U.S. >>> And now a look to eastern europe where fighting continues to intensify along the russia/ukraine worder. Karling donoghue with more on the extensive damage from the latest round of back and forth attacks between the two countries. >> Reporter: this dramatic drone footage displaying the aftermath of a deadly russian bombardment in ukraine's second largest city. >> (Voice of Interpreter): approximately 120 people were inside the centre at the moment of the attack. >> Reporter: an air strike touching down right on top of a busy gardening centre in ukraine's kharkiv region saturday leaving at least 16 people dead, 16 people missing and dozens more injured. >> (Voice of Interpreter): at around 4 o'clock, the enemy attacked the supermarket with two guided bombs. They hit the building directly. Immediately afterwards, a fire broke out as the centre stocks a lot of flammable materials. >> Reporter: the attack the latest to strike the border region which has slowly become the new main battleground of this war. Fighting is intensified in recent weeks in kharkiv and russia's belgrade where a ukrainian air strike touched down sunday leaving ten dead and others injured. Even as his troops continue to jab, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says his country still needs all the help it can get. >> To president biden, the leader of the united states, and to president xi, the leader of china, we do not want the U.N. charter to be burned, burned down just like these books and I hope you don't want to either. >> Reporter: standing in the charred remains of a ukrainian printing press, zelenskyy urged the two world leaders to join him at the upcoming global peace summit this june in switzerland. >> Please show your leadership in advancing the peace, real peace, not just a pause between the strikes. The efforts of global majority are the best guarantee that all commitments will be fulfilled. Please, support the peace summit with your personal leadership and participation. >> Reporter: now, earlier this week, russian president vladimir putin did signal that he may be open to peace talks in the near future, but ukrainian officials remain weary as those comments were made during a joint nuclear exercise between russia and belarus. Officials say it is not cynical to distrust russia's sincerity when it comes to negotiations but rather a practical necessity. For citynews, I'm karling donoghue. >> Brandon: a new report from quebec's language watchdog shows a decline in french usage among young people. >> Reporter: a new report shows the use of french is on the decline among young people in the province. A 152-page report by the oqlf, quebec's language watchdog, shows the level of french spoken outside the home is often below the provincial average, among 18 to 34-year-olds in montreal. >> Before it was 50/50. I think now it's getting more anglophone. I think a lot of people speak french but in the home more english, I think. >> Downtown probably more english, I think because it's more diverse, but I do hear french a lot too.

>> Reporter: the report says young people are more likely to favour english or a mix of english and french at work and in shops. 58% of quebecers in 2023 between 18 and 34 years old used french almost exclusively at work, compared with 64% in 2010. The report also shows that enrollment in english cegeps is on the rise and that more than half of young quebecers prefer using english on social media platforms. "each person speaks the language they want to speak. The most important is what language you understand." in montreal, the use of french outside the home drops to 60% and in gatineau, it drops to 63. Jack jedwa from the association for canadian studies says the findings are not surprising. >> The fact there's a lot more mixing and interaction between anglophones, francophones and allophones in montreal and gatineau and that's an inevitable reality. >> Reporter: last month, quebec announced it will be spending over $600 million to promote the french language with more than half the money going towards helping newcomers learn french. >> Immigration is going to change the demographics to the extent that the vast majority of immigrants coming to quebec are persons whose first language is neither english or french. You're seeing a renewal of that phenomenon, so over time, there will be some stability, but al allophones speak french to a reasonable degree. >> Reporter: the province's french language minister says the report doesn't take into account recent changes that strengthen the french language charter but adds "if we have to go further, we'll do." >> Yes, there's a decline to some extent, but there's still a lot of people speaking french in montreal. >> Reporter: in montreal, swidda rassy, citynews. >> Brandon: coffee, it's the most popular drink among canadians, but it might soon cost you a little more the next time you order a hot or iced latte. The price of the specialty drink are on the rise according to data collected by technology company square. >> We looked at thousands of coffee shops on square's platform in canada and found the average price of a latte is about $5.19 now in canada, up about 5% over last year. Now, that actually is outpacing the overall rate of inflation in canada, which last month was to be about 2.7%. >> Reporter: while the price of a latte has went up, here in ontario isn't the most expensive place to grab a cup. >> The highest price was in yukon where latte was 6.50 on average. I think this makes sense in many ways, rural areas both have a higher operating cost, both supply the actual coffee or product to customers. It's not just coffee shops. But you're going to see that specifically reflected in the cost of labour and hiring. >> Reporter: with the rising cost of inflation, many businesses including coffee roasters have adapted their business model to meet the demand. >> I started this company in 2018 and I've had several cafes and my natural progression from that was to start to roast coffee, but I've been in coffee for about 20 years now and I just wanted to get closer to the coffee sourcing and roasting and doing wholesale for cafes in toronto. >> Reporter: he hasn't seen anyone get hot over an increase in the price of his roasts but also says maybe this increase isn't enough. >> I haven't seen anybody get upset about the price of a latte, and in my opinion, the price is still low. I think the price of a latte is one of the best deals out there. The price of coffee? General, and I think it could go up more. I think it should go up more. I think we're around just over $5 on the average for latte. I'd be happy to see it go up to $6 or $7. I think the problem is people only see the finished product and don't know the work that's gone in to making the coffee, particularly from farm to cup. People have no problem paying 8, 9, 10, $11 for a beer, but I guess because they're used to paying so little for a coffee that any jump seems like a lot. >> Reporter: the price of a standard cup of coffee has also increased by about 1.5% in canada. Despite all this, officials tell citynews that coffee culture in canada is alive and well with an increase of sales by more than 40%. In toronto, I'm brandon rowe for citynews. >> Reporter: an absolutely wild game between the blue jays and tigers. Bottom three, it's 4-nothing detroit when spencer torkelson
