It's the body of 28-year-old photographer Idan Chitivi.

He was killed at the Nova Music Festival in the October 7th attack, his body, taken into Gaza. He was officially declared dead last October, based on intelligence reports. And in Tel Aviv... The families of hostages gathered for their weekly demonstration, calling for an end to the war in Gaza and the return of hostages still held by Hamas. They want the Netanyahu government to negotiate the release. As of today, Israel says 20 hostages are still believed to be alive with another 28 bodies held by Hamas. EU foreign ministers denounced a U.S. decision to revoke visas for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and about 80 other Palestinian diplomats. They

were to travel to New York for the UN General Assembly, as well as meetings on the two-state solution. Simon Marks has more. This means that Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority and his government ministers, will not be able to travel to New York for the United Nations General Assembly in the middle of September. The United States views the Palestinian Authority as having incited terrorism, engaged in education to incite terrorism. And they are also warning Palestinian officials not to continue seeking the unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood. At UN headquarters itself, Stefan Dujarak, spokesman for the Secretary General, indicated that

Antonio Gutierrez is going to reach out to the State Department here in Washington, trying to get the decision reversed. Simon Marks, reporting from Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump is reacting angrily to an appeals court decision declaring most of his tariffs illegal. It ruled only Congress has the authority under the Constitution to impose those levies. Trump called the court highly partisan and said the U.S. would be, quote, destroyed if the Supreme Court doesn't overturn the ruling. Steve Utterman has more. It was on April 2nd with great fanfare that Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs. My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day. The Trump tariffs impacted to different degrees every nation around the world. The Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that many of the tariffs,

including the reciprocal ones, are illegal. Attorney Neil Cotill, who served in the Obama administration, argued the case before the appeals court. The president under our Constitution is given no power to impose tariffs. The ruling may have little, if any, immediate impact. The Appeals Court delayed enforcement until mid-October to allow the Trump administration a chance to appeal to the Supreme Court. Trump's reaction was quick. He said if these tariffs ever go away, it would be a total disaster. Trump aides suggested last night there are other ways to impose similar tariffs if these are struck down. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles. The Long Lake Fire in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley is still burning out of control, but it hasn't grown,

and there are no new reports of damage. Fog last night and rain forecast for this evening are expected to help crews working to contain it. Most children will return to school Tuesday, but it's not certain that kids in Alberta will after contract talks between the Teachers Association and the province broke down. Unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly clear

that the Alberta Teachers Association Union leadership is only interested in playing politics with our kids. Education Minister Demetrios Nicolides says he can't see the province offering, hearing more while dealing with a ballooning deficit, says teachers were offered up a 12% wage increase. Jason Schilling of the Alberta Teachers Association says teachers want better working conditions

and a reasonable salary. Teachers cannot accept a salary offer that does not attract and retain Alberta teachers by catching up and keeping up with inflation. The teachers are in a legal strike position but must give 72 hours notice before walking off the job. That is your world this hour for CBC News. Mike Miles.
