roland garros on tsn and tsn+ >> Is that must immediately halt. It's believed 2 of us. And any other action and that a foreign government. >> The un's top court increases pressure on israel as it orders israel to halt its military operation in the southern gaza city of rafah. Hackers who stole employee information from london drugs have now released it on the dark web. The pharmacy chain refused to pay millions in ransom. And canadian border workers have voted in favour of a strike mandate that could start as early as 2. It's friday, may 24. Thanks for joining us here on ctv news channel. I'm renee rodgers. We'll begin with breaking news from the hague, where the international court of justice has issued a landmark emergency ruling on south africa's case, accusing israel of genocide in gaza. >> Is that must immediately halt its money through a fence. And any other action and that a foreign government. Which may conflict on the palestinian group in gaza. Conditions will fly. That could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. >> The president of the un's top court saying the humanitarian situation in gaza has deteriorated since the court last ordered israel to take steps to improve conditions. The court also ordered israel to open the rafah border crossing to allow humanitarian aid into the territory. The order is the 3rd time that the world court, as it's also known, has issued orders seeking to rein in the death toll and alleviate humanitarian suffering in gaza. Israel has repeatedly insisted that it has the right to defend itself from hamas and is unlikely to comply with today's ruling. All right, let's bring in jon allen, former canadian ambassador to israel and mister allen, thank you for being here. What do you make of the I c j's decision? This is binding in practice, but is it's enforceable by the courts. >> It's not enforceable in the sense that there is no for the court in years, not going to be any action by the court it's possible countries might decide to impose that would take time. Of course, but this is symbolically quite significant has was mention. He says the 3rd ruling of the the world court, the international court of justice. It does not require israel to cease all operations, but it does require israel to cease operations in rafah, there is great concern about both the humanitarian assistance be halted there now and with the possibility of more civilian guests. >> And the issue and we know that in the past, israel has not recognize the court's jurisdiction in this matter, saying that it's a political and not a legal matter is that completely true, especially when considering violations of international law and the right to self-governance. >> Both saint africa and israel have signed on to the genocide convention. So the issue jurisdiction more or less been though, that that finally has to be decided along with the substance of the case. >> And >> It seems quite clear. Israeli spokesmen have announced and essentially israel will not comply with the order to continue their operations and their efforts to try we doubt. >> The military and political leaders and to try and have get their hostages back. >> So you know, if israel ignores this ruling, what could the diplomatic fallout p? >> Well, they've already had a rather bad as you know, I'm the prosecutor of the international criminal court, which deals with individuals

not states has sought arrest for a bibi netanyahu. The prime minister and the minister defence as well as 3 hamas leaders. We now have a number of european nations have deciding to recognize the state of palestine. So overall, it's not been a great week for israel. Pressure is mounting. Panned out and hopefully they move as quickly as possible to complete the operation in rafah if they are not going to comply with the court and open avenues of humanitarian assistance, which are dyer. We need throughout the gaza strip. >> All right, we will have to leave it there. That's our time. John allen, former canadian ambassador to israel and spain, thank you very much for your time today. We appreciate it. The israeli military says it has recovered the bodies of 3 more hostages taken into gaza after the october 7th massacre. >> It is with a heavy heart. That I sure that last night israeli special forces in gaza risk you the bodies of all hostages. A sign on your lawn ca. You should. Nissan bone, we own and is. >> The military says the bodies were recovered in a joint operation by the israeli army and intelligence services in northern gaza. The bodies are identified by medical officials in israel talks aimed at securing a cease-fire and hostage exchange deal have stopped. University of toronto protesters have until later this afternoon to clear their encampment. The university issued a 24 hour deadline on thursday afternoon, calling for students to consider its offer. The university agreed to a number of terms, including establishing an advisory committee to review the divestment request, allowing students to suggest qualified members for the committee and increasing transparency on investments. The school rejected all calls to cut ties with israeli universities or international partner institutions. The offer is conditional on the encampments being cleared by later this afternoon. Demonstrators have been calling for the university to divest from companies connected with the israeli military campus protests and encampments have been in place for the last 3 weeks. The student protesters are expected to deliver response to the university around 11:00am. Cp24's melissa dugan is on the scene with more for us. Melissa. >> Yeah, pro-palestinian protesters already making it clear that they are frustrated by what the school has had to say. We're going to more for about their response to the school's latest offer. Just a matter of hours from now. So I'm sitting right next to the fence beyond this is the pro-palestinian encampment. It's been in place for 3 weeks now more than 100 tents inside. It is very quiet here this morning except for the construction that's happening on the other side of me right now. But things are going to change at 11:00am. I? That is when representatives from this group are expected to issue their formal response to what the school is saying. The school giving demonstrators 24 hours to reply to their latest offer. If they don't agree to the terms and clear out the school may be issuing a trespassing notice. The school's president says graduation ceremonies are set to happen at the school next month. We'll go ahead as planned. Have a listen. >> Convocation begins june 3rd and we have a announced already that we will proceed with convocation, no matter what. And we will do our best to make sure that those complications proceed without interruption. And you know, we have a of a lot of experience in ensuring that. >> Now some of the offers at the school is making to demonstrators includes forming a working group to consider options on the disclosure of school investments. But the ut say they they will not be ending any partnerships with israeli universities that has been another demand from protesters. Something else we're hearing from protesters in their news release promoting their comments are coming up at 11:00am today. They're accusing the school of being more concerned about mowing the lawn for convocation ceremonies. And then they are concerned about ending the war in gaza. Back to you. >> All right, looking live at the canadian side of the peace bridge border crossing in fort erie, ontario. We are just learning canada's border workers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike. The union representing workers says it could lead to significant disruptions to the flow of goods services and people

through canada's ports of entry. If they opt to go ahead with a strike, it could happen as early as this summer. London drugs says cyber criminals have followed through on their threat to release confidential data after it didn't pay a 25 million dollar ransom. The company says the leaked files total more than 00 gigabytes and contain employee information. Now leaks onto the dark web. >> It could be things like feller information, disciplinary proceedings, protest in some cases led up to the current U.S. >> The data was stolen during a cyber attack on april 28. That forced london drugs to close all 79 of its stores. We'll talk more about this. Let's bring in david shipley, ceo and co-founder of boost or on security. Mister shipley, thank you for being here. It confidential information that was obtained by ransomware hackers has been released on the dark web. Is it known what was released at and what this means for london drugs. >> What we're hearing so far is corporate information and potentially highly sensitive information involving employees, including potentially some medically sensitive information. So an awful moment for the organization and for its employees. And you know, the thing about the disclosure, this kind of information is you can never make it right. Credit monitoring, doesn't 6 it, it's an awful feeling for the individual victims, employees and the organization. And it's happening far too often in this country. >> Looking at, you know, at what's happened. Should london drugs have just paid the ransom. >> Well, one, it's 25 million dollars, which is absolutely absurd. Number 2 lockbit is now a sanctioned entity through the coordinated law enforcement efforts to disrupt this gang, which is made over 100 million dollars from people paying and has only gotten worse. It is now likely highly legally problematic to pay given those U.S. sanctions. So I think the wording that the company's use worries those unwilling and unable ne alluding to the fact that only is the price. Absolutely astronomical. The legal implications for london drugs to do so may be untenable. >> So now that it hasn't paid the information has been leaked to the dark web. It what are the options for london drugs doesn't have any. >> Not likely in terms relationship rebuilding. And you know, we've seen other corporate tax involving a highly sensitive materials like the sony hacks with the north koreans attacked him near this caused a lot of strained relationship between actors and management. So there's going to be some of those issues, their employees are likely going to face potentially years worth of risks identity theft. So so there's not a whole lot they can do to help. >> David shipley, ceo and co-founder of voser on security. We really appreciate you being here today. Thank you for these insights. Thank you for the time. A group of 23 U.S. senators has written a rare letter to prime minister justin trudeau urging canada to meet its nato defence spending commitment. The senators are pointed to last year summit where nato leaders agreed to spend at least 2% of its gdp on defence. Argue canada and other key member nations are still not pulling their weight, which is having an impact on the alliance. Ctv's jeremie charron standing by in ottawa with more for us. Jeremy, a good morning. What is prompting these U.S. senators urge canada to increase its defence spending. >> O well, rain is a few things. I think this, this letter is coming now because we're about 2 months away from a nato summit in washington, D.C. and so that's why I think that there shouldn't highlight this right now, but we're, we've also seen canada recently update its defence policy with that kind of more spending, but still with a plan that doesn't get them to 2% spending, especially not. And in this decade. And so that is the criticism that we're hearing from these U.S. senators that say they feel some key nato members are not pulling their weight when it comes to spending. Of course, the target 2% was set not long ago or a few years ago, at least. And and canada is just not meeting that target. They're not the only ones. There are 32 nato members by the end of 2024 18 of those nato countries are expected to hit that target. So canada is not the only country that is not going to hit that target by the end of of this year. But senators say unlike canada doesn't seem to have a plan to

meet that target. That is the criticism from the senators there's also concern within canada of what it would if canada doesn't meet those targets. If donald trump will be reelected in the U.S. we've heard donald trump talk about possible 2 nato system where you know, nato members that don't meet that target wouldn't get the same kind of support. We heard from former chief of the defence staff general tom lawson on those concerns. Will you listen to what he had to say? >> There is a growing a recognition that there's a high risk that the next president will be. President trump. And for any senators who see nato as a very important alliance. These 23 quite they would like to clear away as many excuses as they can. I think for president trump to take some significant actions that they think would be detrimental to nato ally pulling out entirely or more likely declaring kind of a 2 tier nato, where those who don't pay up are really going to be protected if attacked. The centres are clear in this letter, they say if canada fall short, they feel as though it will hurt nato running. >> Alright, ctv's jeremie charron reporting from ottawa. Thanks for this. Jeremy. >> Ahead for us, disappointment and frustration for soccer fans hoping to get to see one of the beautiful game's best players in canada.

They were gearing up for a big match. This weekend featuring the biggest soccer star in the world. But now we're learning lionel messi will not be making the trip. >> Ctv's mike trout is standing by outside of bc place this morning. Craig, good to see you. A lot of devastated soccer fans, this morning. The so tell us more about what happened >> Well, good morning, renee. So it's hard to put into words right now, how local soccer fans are feeling absolutely gutted from this news that was broken late last night here on the west coast, said leo messi, one of the world's greatest soccer players, would not be making the trip here. 2 vancouver this weekend to take on the whitecaps, but it's also has to start. He made so also will not be be on that flight with teammates as well, so that sergio bruce katz and luis suarez, all 3 of them are

staying in miami this weekend and not making this trip and many fans are arriving here to vancouver spending hundreds of dollars on a single ticket and spin travelling long distances just to see messi, his teammates to take the pitch at bc place. But that will not be happening now. And this comes after about 50,000 tickets were sold the leading up to this event over the last several months in the excitement is growing for this game is being advertised as one of the greatest soccer players arriving here in vancouver. Taking on the whitecaps is going to set attendance records for this team here in vancouver and their street parties plan exactly where I'm standing right now. This is going to be a big street party in still will be us, but just it won't be the same thing without messiness. Teammates arriving here in vancouver and we were speaking to some fans last night and throughout the morning. Here's a clip from one of them. Now, take a listen. >> They tripled them in price and that he doesn't even show up. So. >> Super super disappointing. They're not even making the trip and it wasn't just messy. It was suarez and boost gets I also want to see that just felt disrespectful and really just really upsetting as is just as a sports fan in in bc. >> Yeah, I question being asked right now is why why is messiness teammates? Now playing? Sorry. Sorry. >> Oh, no. You go ahead, craig. >> Yeah, just the one question many people are asking right now is why missing his team to not playing and that still is unclear at this point. Renee. The whitecaps came up with a statement saying that they can't control who their opponents play an individual games. But that's one question many people are wondering why they didn't make this trip. Obviously, it's a long flights and they have other responsibilities when it comes to their national teams as well. It's still unclear as to why didn't make this trip. We'll send it back to you. >> Craig, I can kind of get their point. I can see why that would be so people and cannot expect for messi to be there, but what can they expect? >> So one thing that bc place is offering for this game because of the disappointment that has come from this decision is at the concession stands will be selling their items at 50% off along with anyone under the age of 18 years old will be able to get a free meal combo. So that's one way we're trying to ease the for these. Thousands of fans are expected to arrive in phil. >> Bc place over the weekend. But again, this is all about messiness teammates arriving here in vancouver and watching one of the greatest soccer players, if not arguably the greatest soccer player of all time. >> Playing a match, you make it for now. >> O j r. >> Alright ctv's kraig krause reporting for us.
