Too many students are packed into overcrowded classrooms in Ontario schools, and it's hurting their ability to learn. But instead of helping our kids, the Ford government is playing politics, taking over school boards and silencing local voices. It shouldn't be this way. Tell the Ford government to get serious about tackling overcrowded classrooms because smaller classes would make a big difference for our kids.

Go to Building Better Schools.ca. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. from cbc news it's the world this hour i'm joe cummings in the midst of a growing global movement in support of palestinian statehood u.s president donald trump is scheduled to address the u.n general assembly this morning that says the israeli military continues to push deeper into gaza city amid reports that an already dire humanitarian crisis is now only getting worse. Sasha Petrissik reports. The mother of a five-year-old girl sits crying amid Gaza City's rubble. The child is buried under a building brought down by Israeli strikes as the neighborhood burns. Artillery has put

two hospitals out of commission. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced to the south, with not enough food or supplies being allowed in by Israel, say doctors like British tromers Martin Griffiths. People are going to be sick, they're going to be starving, and they're going to be moving into areas with limited sanitation, no infrastructure, which are lawless, when there's no food, and no military or police.

Today, the federal government is rolling out the details of its long-awaited gun buyback program.

The sanctions deal with airspace restrictions and an import ban on Western-made planes and parts. Breyer Stewart has the details. In a working paper submitted to the International Civil Aviation Organization, Russia called the sanctions against it unlawful, coercive measures which compromise flight safety. Since February 24, 2022, Russia says 37 countries have blocked its planes from entering their airspace. Bands were rolled out to try and prevent Moscow from importing Western aircraft

and parts. But Andreemann Shinen says it didn't lead to fleets being grounded. He previously worked as an aviation journalist in Russia and is now working in the industry abroad. He says Russian airlines have been able to keep operating because they're sourcing parts from third-party countries. The price of the spare parts would maybe multiply two or three times. Earlier this month, Washington agreed to lift restrictions on Belarus's national airline after Minsk released 52 political prisoners. Russia is hoping it too can get some sanction relief.

Breyer-Stewart, CBC News, London. There is joy again in TV land. Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air.

But while he's back, not every ABC station will be carrying a show. More than 35 ABC affiliates are saying they have no intention of airing Kimmel's return. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings. From C.
