I am renée rogers. We begin in the middle east where a massive launch of roger rockets at tel aviv, prompting sciences and often the israeli city for the first time in nearly four months. Siren-air-siren. >> Renée: the israeli military said that a projectiles crossed into israel after being launched from the roth area in southern gaza big another does number of raw fruit does rockets were intercepted, there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. This appears to be the first long-range rocket attack from gaza since january. This comes out as israel rolls out as military operation in raw file.

>>> Clearly there is no operation -- injuries at this point. But also suggest that the idea of the netanyahu government, that the idea that they will eliminate hamas is an impossibility, as I think the americans have told them, and others have told them I think there minister of defence now agrees that total elimination of hamas is not going to happen. >> Renée: hundreds of mourners attended a funeral service today for one of the hostages killed during the october 7th attack. He was retrieved by the israeli army from gaza earlier this week, along with two others. >> The pro- palestinian protesters who have set up an encampment on the university of toronto can't miss this campus are expected to meet with school officials today. The meeting, which is scheduled for 5:00 pm local time, comes after the university issued a trespass notice to the protesters on friday. The school has said it will take all necessary legal steps if the protesters do not clear out by monday at 8:00 am. The notice also threatens to seek a court order against the camp. Organizers say that they plan to hold a rally tomorrow morning. For more, let's go to see between pores andrew brennan was at the encampment. Andrew, if it's the details to be met at the time that they are expected to leave, they have announced they will be holding this rally kept indicate that they do not plan to leave anytime soon. What the university says it plans to do is seek legal action to try and stop the encampment from continuing, seeking an injunction from the courts to stop the encampment. It should be said that this is something that other universities in canada have tried, namely at mcgill university there was also one brought forward by the university administration itself. And that also failed in court protesters that were speaking on the steps of simcoe hall today said that they believe, based on that and, also what their legal team is saying, that they have a good chance of being able to win this potential legal fight. They are digging in their heels in saying that once again they do not plan to leave until their demands are met. They have adjusted those demands in response to the offer given from the university and the president late on thursday into friday, with the deadline being friday to accept, which they did not, that ultimately what the offer was from the university essentially that there would be working groups for a lot of the things that these protesters are asking for, they say that that is not what they are those that there no indication that they would want to go through this particular avenue. The city university's president has the power to be able to do a lot of the things without working groups and they say there's no time when a wars going on like this to be able to take that time that could take years for these demands to be met, in a1c action now. Here's some of what they were telling us earlier on today. >> We the student's are steadfast in our demands for divestment act disclosure and cutting ties with israeli academic institutions complicit in israeli apartheid. We remain steadfast in our demands were palestinian liberation. We demand you have tease there's an end to you of tease capacity with the as really are parted. We look forward to meeting with administrators at 5:00 pm today to begin our negotiations. Presently ask you to because I got justice or genocide. >> Reporter: in a meeting at 5:00 pm, this is of course not the first meeting that has taken place between the people that have been staying in in the encampment for 24 days now and university administration." what we've heard of what we heard today from the demonstrators is that they say the university is not taking them seriously, and something that they have said almost since the beginning of this encampment on may the 2nd. There were headlines made may the 8th, which said the exact same thing. I ask the dems rated today hasn't anything really changed and they said no.

>>> Toronto police are increasing their presence in certain neighbourhoods after shots were fired at a jewish until -- jewish elementary school inside and morning scheme at one of the questions of sure people are asking is if this is a hate crime, is this a terrorist act, and what I want to say is that it's early in the investigation to say. >> Reporter: and investigators believe that the shooting happened just before 5:00 am by more than one person travelling in a dark coloured vehicle.

In an exclusive interview with ctv question period, julian smith says she believes canada intends to eventually meet the commitment, but is seeing no evidence on how ottawa will get there.

>>> When will we see an actual plan to reach that 2% target and have clarity on how canada is going to get there. I have not had any instance were any canadian official has told me they will not get there, but I don't have any sign that there is a plan in place to get to that 2% mark. And again, it is a pledge that every member of this alliance made. These are difficult decisions, and that is why with the ten year timeline. >>> Last week, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators were the letter to prime minister justin trudeau, saying that they are concerned and disappointed that canada will likely not reach the 2% commitment in this decade. Canada's updated defence policy charted parts a path to reach 1.7 6% of gdp on defence spending by 2030, but does not include a target to hit 2%. >>> 212 people have been injured after a qatar airways flight from do hot to dublin experienced about of turbulence.

As of august first, 450 licensed grocery stores will be allowed to sell coolers in cases of beer. Let's bring in retail expert bruce wender. Bruce, thank you for being here is always. The ontario premier says it is a promise being fulfilled. But what is your take on this rollout? Mag yes, I think it will be good overall. It is sort of taking a chip away at the monopoly or quasi- monopoly that the beers tour. And I do think it offers a lot more convenience. And also help small business. It helps bring traffic into a lot of these variety stores and maybe other groceries. So I do think overall it is a positive move. >> Renée: there is some criticism on the someone of them is about lcb obeying the exclusive wholesaler of alcohol to grocery stores and convenient stores, would you make of that? >> That is sort of it is what it is. Dale cbo's been around for decades, if not a hundred years and they continued to do that, it does show some type of measured approach do this through regulating it through one entity. But the beer side has opened up a lot more in the l cbo has a few problems right now as it relates to getting spirits this summer. But it is what it is. It is sort of a migration towards a democratized alcohol system. >> Renée: now one of the other major concerns of the reimbursement of the beer store of up to $225 million. That is taxpayer money, to support the transition for the store, what is your assessment of that? >> I guess that was a deal between the government and the beer store. But it sounds like part of that is tuesday tried to sort of keep some beer stores open when the volume goes away, because quite a few canadians, I think six or 7000 people in ontario work at the beer store. I think the government is trying to sort of transition those jobs. And in addition, they are using the beers for the primary distribution or redistribution for empties and returns. So do think they are trying to transition this away from the beers for but still leave them with enough so that they can continue operating and helping out where possible. >> Renée: while accessible be easier for the consumer, is there any other benefits that

show it to you? >> The big benefit will be for the convenience store the smaller grocery, this will help bring people into your stores. And that to me is the big plus here. Helping to create some volume for small business, because small businesses got sort of beaten up a lot over the past few years as a result of the pandemic. >> Renée: on the other side of the coin though, does this put jobs in jeopardy, say at the out? There is questions, there will be some shifting jobs to your point, I think eventually from the beer store, can they maintain the same staff that they have not now? Probably not down the road. And the lcb domain need less people as well, but hopefully there will be some more jobs created at some of the local groceries and convenient stores to offset that. >> Renée: all right, that's our time, bruce wender, retail expert think through thinking we appreciate your time you think you have immune. >> Renée: as the summer season rounds the corner into view, some drive-in movie theatres are coming back to life. But with only two drive-ins left in the ottawa region, is the business at risk of going dark? Still in dyson reports. >> Reporter: when the sign goes down in the ottawa valley, memories come back to life at the skylight drive-in for chris and his family, there is nothing like watching a movie from the back of their truck bed. >> Is the experience, we're far enough from pembroke that you can still see the starlight and things like that, the big screen is fun to watch and everyone gets to stay up late. >> Reporter: families it tells you to pass some, missed the big night out that our biggest week was jaws with jurassic park. And people were just blown away with away with that, tv, but no one had ever seen jaws on the big-screen, it came out 19701972. >> Reporter: but the skylight drive-in is just one of two drive-in theatres remaining in the national capital region, the other located in port helmsley. >> There an endangered species, they really are. >> This guy drive in his capacity for three vehicles, but a good weekend only sees 100 park up and watch a movie. The fear is that once interest becomes too little, they will cease to exist entirely. G it is entirely possible that the numbers will drop to a point where it just no longer feasible to stay open. And to be perfectly honest, if a big developer came by and offered me enough money, I would go at this point. >> Reporter: there are no offers for the skylight drive-in and marshall still loves the movie business, but he sees no new been drive-in theatres opening anytime soon. >> Is said to lose more and more over the years and it becomes more and more expensive for families to go and visit that was bigger movie theatres. >> 's once they go, they are gone. >> Reporter: so for now, those in the skylight can enjoy the best seat in the house.
