Peel regional police unveiling today result of a major auto theft investigation. We'll tell you more about project odyssey in moments. It is 4:00 24 degrees from 299 queen street west. This is toronto's breaking news cp24. Hello. I'm melissa duggan. Our top story right now. Pro-palestinian protesters, are joined by labour unions, faculty and staff as they defy a trespass order to leave king's college circle. Cp24's lindsay biscaia is at u of t with the latest and lindsay on a day where we've seen so much rain, any signs of protesters leaving. >> Not at all, melissa. But I mean, I would say not this morning. You know, we saw, as you say, so much rain, just absolutely pouring this morning. And it did not dampen the spirits of protesters. They have not started dismantling the encampment. You can see it in full force behind me. And more than that, they came out for a rally this morning to show solidarity for the people of palestine as well as people in this encampment. Despite all of that rain. So now as you mentioned, the latest is that the university is going to

file an injunction to have the protesters evicted from the university's property. But once you file an injunction takes 24 to 48 hours to schedule a court date. So we're still waiting to hear more on what the status is there. But we do have a statement from the university was issued to us a couple of hours ago, all read it for you. Now it says in part, the notice of motion is proceeding normally and will be accessible through the usual process once it is filed at the court at 3.30 university avenue. We continue to engage in discussions with students representing those in the encampment and hope they will bring the act unauthorized encampment to a peaceful. And the students here say that they have a couple demands 3 actually specific demands that they wanted the university to meet. So far, the university has not met those demands. And that is why they're not leaving. But we did also hear from a number of the encampment, one of the organizers today on that and and her thoughts on, you know, what's happening right now with the university and why they don't feel negotiations are going well, have a listen. >> My all of this, despite all the horrors and atrocities we're seeing every single day last 234 days, ut continues to tell us they cannot make commitments. And that we must go through a bureaucratic committees committees that will lead us nowhere. But we do not have time for committees. We do not have time to wait. >> So at this point, most important to note as well, negotiations between the university and students are continuing. This started last night at 5:00pm and we heard from erin mackey, she said that, you know, the demands were proposed again by the students and the school wanted to another day to look over the demands. And so those negotiations are going to continue tonight, starting at 5:00pm. So maybe there will be some kind of peaceful resolution here, but we're also waiting for that injunction to be filed as well. So we'll have to wait and see what happens. A lot of things still at play. But yes, as of today, this is day 25 and encampments remains here at u of t let's and a busy day for you. Lindsay developments coming in throughout the day. We'll check in with you a little bit later on. Thanks again. >> A university in montreal has been granted a partial injunction against pro-palestinian demonstrators, who set up an encampment of their own on its campus. A judge ruling today that safety measures need to be put in place that you quim encampment. Protestors have been banned from setting up tents within 2 metres of school buildings and they've also been ordered to keep doors and windows and walls clear of obstructions and allowed the fire department to inspect the site. The school argued the protesters posed a safety risk by blocking emergency exit and storing gas in the campus. There was a show of support today for a north york, a jewish girls school that was hit by gunfire over the weekend. Mayor olivia chow and police chief myron demkiw were among those who attended a solidarity rally this morning at the moose kellam entry school near dufferin and finch. Police responded to a call for shots fired at the school early saturday morning and found a bullet hole in the building. No one was hurt. Organizers, they say today's demonstration was meant to show the school students, staff and families that the community stands with them. >> I'm here to stand with you to say that anti-semitism, it's like cancer. We have to say no. It erodes the boss of empathy and compassion between people. Is saying no to decay over so side into hate and is out and absolutely have no place in toronto. >> Police have said it's too early to determine if the shooting is a hate crime or if it's an act of terrorism. But they note the hate crime unit is supporting this investigation. Residents in some neighbourhoods have been told to expect an increased police presence. It is 4:06. 24 degrees time for look at the so things over to adwoa. Well, yeah, has been a quite the a busy afternoon. Listen, if you are making your way out be putting on the brakes. >> On the northbound lanes of the 427, the do start just north of the gardiner in the collectors and they do continue all the way up towards dundas. That's because this collision that continues in the collectors that is blocking the 2 right lanes elsewhere are travelling on the eastbound 4, some good news. We have those in the renforth collision had 2 right lanes occupied coming tonight about problems of also cleared on the approach ontario. They were in the right lane, getting word of some new problems on the northbound 4 for the davis drive in newmarket crews that deal with the collision. It does have the left lane blocked on city

streets in the downtown core, a collision on a southbound abe at dundas. I'll send it back to melissa. Thanks for that. Welcome another developing story we're following closely for you today. A 16 year-old is dead after a shooting in the east end. >> Live now to cp24 crime and winless on the scene with the very latest. Steve, what do we know so far here? >> Mostly we know according to a toronto police to the latest homicide here in the sea happened just after 1:00 this morning. Cataraqui crescent is the location. It's the house behind me here we can have a look. It's near warden avenue in scarborough. Police say that they attended this location at 1:00 regarding a shooting. They arrived on scene, they found a young male, a 16 year-old who had been shot. He was rushed to a hospital life-threatening condition. And sadly, he died as a result of his injuries. So that homicide squad is now taking over this investigation. The forensics team has been on all day, several uniforms in the areas while canvassing the area looking for witnesses or anybody who has information pertaining to the shooting. The 6 year-old boy has been identified by police as jamal at U.S. 16 years old to from toronto. And we're not sure right now what the motive is, what the relationship is between the deceased and the suspect. In fact, we have no suspect information right now. I am expecting probably with an update once they get this investigation rolling, as time passes on, they will get more information pertaining to a suspect. And there is a lot of very good video surveillance around area as well. So I would suspect some point in time if the shooting happened inside. Inside the which has been reported. We might get the suspect leaving this location, but that will come in due course right now. The police continue to collect that information and they're looking for witnesses. So if you are in the area here on cataraqui near warden, 1:00 this spring or if you something that you thought to be suspicious, you're being asked to give the police a call. >> 16 years old to tragic story there. Thanks for that. Steve. >> Peel police say they have busted a highly orchestrated auto theft ring that they have dubbed project odyssey. >> Cp24's andrew brennan is here for more on this operation. Andrew, this sounds like a significant let's put it in numbers, melissa, over 33 million dollars in terms of the value of these recovered vehicles. 369 in all recovered either in the gta or all the way in montreal at the port of montreal known to be >> The major hub to get the stolen vehicles from across eastern canada out of the country. And also 16 people charged 322 charges laid that are from the criminal code. A lot some of the suspects that police have brought forward saying that they were already out on bail at the time. They were picked up 4 auto theft. Now when we have heard for not only from the lead detective today on what was as a part of project odyssey, but also from some of the mayors in the gta, particularly in brampton. A mississauga was heard from brampton's mayor patrick brown today, where it's been a noticeable problem. We've been seeing year-over-year increases in the number of not only violent carjackings, but auto thefts overall about this problem is one that is clearly not going away now. But this is a significant dent, it seems in organized crime trying to get these vehicles largely luxury vehicles out of the gta and on to ships out of the country. Take a listen. As a result of our investigation, we have recovered 369 vehicles. >> We seized 3 transport trucks and 2 stolen bobcats. What we're being facilitated at the yard and those items have been seized as offence related property. A total of 33.2 million dollars was recovered in stolen vehicles before it was destined out of the country. >> Auto theft crisis is a national crisis. It is the numbers are staggering. Across ontario and quebec record auto thefts. This has been the biggest gift organized crime in canadian history. 1.2 billion in 2022. The 23 numbers are coming in to maybe 2 billion to organized crime for international auto theft. But today's a bit of a the police did some great investigative work. We have the largest auto thefts commercial unit in canada in peel region and we arrest people in peel region. We take on difficult investigations and hold them accountable. So you can see on your screen now, some of the people that were picked up in charged by >> The crown following their arrests from peel regional police or partners. Otherwise the youngest in their late teens up to people in their late 50's. There's also several people about 10 there are still outstanding and wanted for various charges, including auto thefts and there are some of them that are from toronto region. Others from the montreal region clearly indicating according to investigators, how much of a nefarious web this organized crime ring in scheme was and others still are to be broken up in the future.

The university of toronto says it will meet with pro-palestinian protesters today after they refused today's 8:00am deadline to leave. A 16 year-old boy is the city's latest murder victim. He died in hospital after being shot overnight in the warden and danforth road area. And peel regional police unveiling today result of a major auto theft investigation. We'll tell you more about to see what it led to police to discover. Stay with cp24. For more on these stories and for further details, you can visit our website cp24.com to international news. Now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the strikes on rafah that killed dozens of civilians. They were a tragic mistake, adding that investigation is underway for the latest on the israel-hamas war. We're joined now by ctv's colton praill colton. What's the latest here? >> Well, it's it's a rare admission to hear from the israeli prime minister that this was not what they had intended. The idf has said previous intelligence that they had suggested that there would be no civilian harm from the strike at this encampment just outside of rafah. Instead, data from the gaza ministry of health says 45 people dead nearly 250 injured in those numbers may still climb. It's a stark contrast to what israel was expecting and to see the israeli prime minister stand up in his parliament and say that this was a mistake. This wasn't intended. Speaks to the amount of international pressure and domestic pressure that he is currently facing. We have seen the protests happening in jerusalem across israel from the families of those who families of the hostages. The immense pressure internally on benjamin netanyahu to free those. But we're also seeing in light of friday's decision from the international court of justice ordering all hopes to the offence in rafah. Much more international pressure specifically in the, in offence, in this area in relation to what we saw happen on sunday. The reason for the decision from the icj on friday were fears that any sort of military operation wouldn't be able to properly provide enough safety for the 800,000 plus civilians who were in rafah. This after about 800,000 people have already evacuated the area. And so to see this level of civilian casualties in the strike. One of the first significant strikes since that decision, it's led to immense international, a poor countries like spain floating the possibilities of possible sanctions on israel as a result of this. And the continued defiance of that icj order. We've heard from the un high commission are calling it a horrific attack. But it was an entirely predictable outcome, saying that there appears to be no change into the means or method of warfare
