Israel has already begun a limited operation in the city and seized control of its border with egypt. The court also ordered israel to open the vital crossing to allow for the flow of aid. Israel has condemned the ruling, saying it has the right to defend itself against hamas. >> Would lead to the saying hamas needs to put its arms down must needs to leap.

Every convenience grocery and big box store in ontario will have the option to sell beer cider wine and ready to drink alcoholic beverages. >> What they're trying to do is make it more convenient for consumers who want to gather it. You can go to the beer store, you can go to the lcbo, but now you'll be able to get out a corner store close to hours. They're probably even more extended than what you get in other places. So I think is a step in the direction of consumer friendliness doesn't mean that it's going to be a more efficient distribution system. If you have a smaller number of stores, distributing product will be more efficient than a larger number of stores. >> The ontario government says it will give 225 million dollars to the beer store to help speed up the expansion.

While the bags are reusable, many people ctv spoke to say they're surprised they can't be recycled. This is just for emergency and I don't have any bag. So it's keeping using and using using it all the time. When I buy a bag like this, I just reuse it as long as I can until it rips. >> But I always thought it was recyclable. Do. I would just toss in recycling. Ukraine says according to one of the biggest for cycling facilities in quebec tree centris. >> These plastic bags cannot be recycled in quebec or even in canada. If you try to stretch, it does not stretch its rigid and therefor goes in the garbage, not in the recycling bin. Several of the companies mentioned, including dollarama tells ctv news they will not be commenting on the subject because of the ongoing legal procedure.

Minnesota secured a 4, 1, win in a pivotal game 3 against boston last night. They now lead the playoff series 2 to one game 4 is scheduled for tomorrow night. And joining me today is hailing the gold-rich writer at team canada haley, thank you for being here. Minnesota won a pivotal game last night, 4 to one over boston. What stood out the most to you? >> I think the biggest thing is taylor she's obviously incredible. She was the number one overall pick for a reason she's leaving the pwhl playoffs right now. It's 7 points. She has 5 goals in her last 4 games. She is just so incredible and she's really heated up in this series. She found her footing a little bit at the end of that. Toronto syria now has just been incredible for the team. I think the minnesota has just really found their chemistry as well. They are relying on just your eyes. You saw the kennecott a got a goal there as well. And you know, nicole hensley has been playing incredible in net you a shattered in game 2. They just they're really finding their rhythm and said another one win away from the walter cup. >> Do you think boston can come back? What do they have to do on sunday to take this to game 5. I think the biggest thing for boston is that they have so much talent as well, but they can't go down so early. >> They were down 2, nothing. Of course, they got one goal back, but then they were still at a deficit. They ended up losing that game for one, they just can't allow minnesota to be the ones who score first. And of course, you know, like I said, minnesota has a lot of talent too. But I think that, you know, you've seen boston take a game in this series. It's not like minnesota is about to speak. Boston is capable of winning a game against minnesota, but they really struggle when it comes to being down. They just scored one goal in that game and that's not good enough against this year. So touching that really clicking right now. >> And speaking of minnesota, they will have home ice advantage tomorrow. Do you think they can take the series? >> I think so. I think they're incredible team. And you go to look at toronto, picks them because they were the 4th seed. Toronto handpick that team minnesota came back from a 2 nothing deficit that toronto series do the reverse sweep 1, 3, games and now they could clinch on home ice and they're

such a rich hockey history in minnesota as well. You saw that the minnesota whitecaps of the phf nwhl, they won the isobel cup in 2019 3 of those players are currently on the pwhl minnesota roster. There's such a rich culture hockey there, I think winning on home ice to be so special for them and they definitely have the talent to do so.

We appreciate it. >> The edmonton oilers are back in action tonight for game 2 in their series against the dallas stars. After a nail-biting double overtime win on thursday.
