>> Reporter: spain's prime minister maintains that israel has the right to defend itself after hamas' attack on october 7th, but not in the way that it has in gaza. >> If one thing is clear to me it is that prime minister netanyahu has no peace project for palestine. Fighting the terrorist group is legitimate and necessary after the events of 7th of october. But netanyahu is creating so much pain and so much destruction and so much franco and goss on the rest of palestine that the viability of a two state solution is in serious danger. >> Reporter: canada has been actively pushing for a two state solution for the true deliverables maintain that statehood cannot happen while hamas still reigns in the enclave. >> One of the guarantees is that hamas will not be part of leadership and a new palestinian state. In my mind we need this clear state for those details. >> Reporter: conservative mps were little bit more sustained. >> Some cities are recognizing palestine as a state. Should canada do so? >> Absolutely not. >> Reporter: 144 out of 193 united nations member recognize palestinian statehood. >> Nothing will change today or tomorrow. But it could be significant if this starts a trend and if more states were to follow... >> Reporter: pro- palestinian demonstrators in madrid welcoming the announcement but say it still is not enough. >> These are empty words, it does is no good to recognize the palestinian state if you continue to sell arms to israel with the genocide is taking place. >> Reporter: our land, norway, and spain, say they will officially recognize palestinian statehood on may 28th. Brandon choghri, city news. >> Reporter: for many of us, feed is that we used to start our day. If lattes are you think you may have noticed that it is starting to cost a little bit more. That according to data collected by technology company square. >> We looked at thousands of coffee shops and squares platforms on candidate we found the average price of a latte is about five dollars. That is up by 5 percent over last year. Actually it is outpacing the overall rate of inflation in canada which last month was supposed to be about 2.7 percent. >> Reporter: here in ontario it is not the most expensive place to grab a coffee. >> The highest price is in yukon, about $650 on average. I think this makes sense, rural areas both have a higher operating cost, supply the actual coffee or product to a customer. You are also going to say that specifically reflected in cost of labour. >> Reporter: many businesses including coffee roasters have adopted their business model to meet the demand. >> I started this back in 2018. I have had several cafés. My natural progression from that was to start to roast coffee. But I have been in coffee for about 20 years now. I just wanted to get closer to the coffee sourcing and roasting and doing coals there for cafés in toronto. >> Reporter: he is not seen anybody get hot over the price increase in his café but also says maybe this increase is not enough. >> I haven't seen anybody get upset about the price of a latte. 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 in general. I think it can go up more and it should go up more. I think we are around just over five dollars and average for a latte. I would be happy to see it go up to six or seven dollars. I think the problem is people only see the finished product. They do not know all of the work that is going into making that coffee particularly from farm to karl. People have no problem paying eight, nine, 10, $11 for a beer but for some reason, mostly because they 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 percent in canada despite officials telling city news that coffee culture in canada is alive and well with an increase of sales by more than 40 percent. >> Announcer: next on city news. >> The only thing living at this house is a flock of pigeons. We hear from neighbours on the city's response to derelict properties. >> Not fit for any human habitation. >> Young people do not realize just how much training we bring when you call 91. >> Reporter: we are given an up close look at the life-saving
