israel's military says one body returned yesterday is not the remains of a hostage in return israel israel is restricting the flow of humanitarian aid into gaza Breyer Stewart has more from Jerusalem. Aid trucks move towards the raffa crossing between Egypt and Gaza, but Israeli officials say they will not be allowed into the strip and that the border will only reopen to permit the movement of Gazis. As part of the ceasefire agreement, 600 trucks are supposed to be allowed in every day, but Israel announced that it was going to curtail aid in an attempt to put pressure on Hamas to return more of the remains of the deceased hostages.

Under the deal for every body of an Israeli hostage that's returned, Israel will return the bodies of 15 Gazans. In Gaza, Tess Ingram with UNICEF says, while aid hasn't been flooding in, the ceasefire means that they are able to distribute the supplies they do have more widely. We really do continue to urge the Israeli authorities to keep the crossings open.

There's also internal tension. Hamas has been fighting with local gangs in carrying out public executions. Prior Stewart, CBC News, Jerusalem. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador has a new premier designate this morning. Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony. Progressive conservative leader Tony Wakeham

In the summer of 2023, Sharif Rahman died following an altercation outside his Ontario restaurant. Police remained tight-lipped for a year until announcing they had arrested and charged three men in Scotland. The CBC's Jonathan Gatehouse reports. Richard Thomas stands by a memorial tree in Owen Sound, fondly remembering Sharif Rahman. The restaurant owner was killed in the summer of 2023 as he tried to stop three men from dining and dashing on a $150 bill. This is a story that touched people all over Canada. It was a big,

mystery for the small southwestern Ontario City, with police saying nothing about the case until more than a year later. We can now state that three individuals, all citizens of the United Kingdom, have been arrested and charged with criminal code offenses. Robert Evans is charged with

manslaughter, while his father and uncle have been charged as accessories after the fact. CBC News gained exclusive access to Scottish court records. The files show Evans and his father entered Canada on falsified UK passports. Police alleged that Evans through the punch that killed Raman.

A full extradition hearing is expected to begin next week that any Canadian trial may still be months away. Jonathan Gatehouse, CBC News, Owen Sound, Ontario. A new ad from Ontario's government is hoping to reach American consumers. When someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs.

That's the voice of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1987. Now it's part of a $75 million commercial campaign to stress the effects of tariffs on American households. But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. This commercial will be rolling out on U.S. networks this week. It was commissioned by Ontario Premier Doug Ford. He says he hopes the message hits home for Republicans in particular and adds tariffs will end up hurting all Americans.

And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fagg.
