Gentrification and development, that's displacing a lot of poor vulnerable people
Hurricane Katrina or some massive disaster had swamped the country, that's the kind of effort we need now
Well today the federal government announced its master plan a national housing strategy
The needs and the conditions and the situations are different from Vancouver to Quebec City from Montreal to Toronto from
Rimouski to small communities in
northern, Saskatchewan
So the goals over the next 10 years to build a hundred thousand new affordable housing units and renovate
300,000 existing ones to introduce a new benefit giving people an average rent subsidy of twenty five hundred dollars per year to cut
homelessness by 50 percent and to bring in legislation that would make housing a fundamental right what it doesn't include any

Reaction is all over the map NDP leader Jack meets saying calls it timid the Federation of Canadian Municipalities calls it a breakthrough

well moving on to another major story something lurking in medicine cabinets across the country opioids and
Probably more than you might think a new report says
21.5 million of those prescriptions were dispensed last year up more than a million from 2012 prescriptions for strong opioids like
oxycodone morphine and the fentanyl patch increased nearly 10 percent
but on the positive side daily doses dropped about five percent that means doctors are prescribing fewer pills at a time and
Reviewing the prescriptions more regularly
Still clearly a lot of opioids are being prescribed and most often to seniors causing some potent age-related risks
Kristine Barack explains
Crazy because seventy-year-old rashard a châtelet keeps it as a souvenir
Reminding him of the intense anxiety. It caused him in this mood
I was knowing why people can suicide
Doctors said his experience was likely the result of a bad drug interaction they Chatelet has multiple herniated discs in his back
He's been prescribed every opioid in the book one in five elderly prescribed an opioid one in eight chronically prescribed opioid
Glancing through this latest report these medical specialists note seniors have the highest rates of hospitalization from opioid
I mean you're gonna see Falls increase and
Uncommon toxicity increase and are being prescribed the drugs at the highest rate
It's concerning
So seniors are a particular population or vulnerable to adverse
Effects from opioids for a couple of reasons one is that they're more likely to be prescribed other complicating medications
or have other complicating conditions
Along with the addictive painkillers day châtelet had been taking

The researchers were also struck by the provincial numbers
Alberta reported the highest number of daily opioid doses prescribed per 1000 residents
Significantly more than the Canadian average
But here's the notable one Quebec not much more than half the Canadian average and researchers don't know what accounts for that discrepancy
But they say they definitely want to find out
Well, we have more domestic news ahead
But Adrian you have the big international story of the day right we're keeping an eye on
Lebanon Ian because as you know the Prime Minister is back in the country after you know almost three weeks out of Lebanon and despite
Unofficially resigning while in Saudi Arabia Saad Hariri is still in power at least for now?
Those are supporters crowding outside her Aries house thrilled with his announcement today that his resignation is on hold
This is just the latest twist in a political drama that began earlier this month, and it has implications far beyond Lebanon
analysts apology memory asset aluminum narnia the
Announcement was a surprise the conditions mysterious
There are suggestions Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri was held hostage by the Saudis and his resignation forced to
destabilize Lebanon's government
Allegations Riyadh denies, but here's where their believable Hariri is a Saudi citizen
Riyadh backs his political party
But his coalition government includes Hezbollah a Shia Islamist movement supported by Iran, and that's the crux
And Saudi Arabia are bitter rivals, and there's speculation
Lebanon was just a political pawn and a Saudi power play
Our nala, ayat is in Beirut. She looks at her Aries return and the decision to suspend his resignation
At 74 years since independence the low-key
milestone would still call for a military parade in the presence of Lebanon's vast array of
VIPs
But it might have passed unnoticed
Had it not been for Saad patty D
Along with some big unanswered questions about his absence his first full day back also brought some clarity
For one that despite the warm welcome. He had indeed come back to officially resign in person instead of from Saudi
Arabia it's a relief
Not only relief. It's a step forward
It doesn't matter if he wants to resign or stay, but at least he's doing this in Lebanon
But having later gone to the president as the Constitution requires offering to resign
He held off on the request of the president, but only temporarily hadid he says to allow for dialogue
Haddadi insists lebanon must remain
regionally neutral comments aimed at his coalition partners iran backed hezbollah
deeply involved in syria and iraq skon flex and
Also supportive of had ad since he vanished because he made the coalition government
Possible his strategy now after the French president's apparent mediation
Seems to buy time on a sensitive matter that could as in the past lead to conflict with Hezbollah
Had Edie's strategy may not be popular in Riyadh
Popular as it might be among the supporters who gathered to welcome had ad ho
We are very very happy to see him
Among us he is them. He is what he is the essence of our life here in Lebanon we can't live without him
For a country often at the mercy of dangerous regional battles hadees' return on
Independence Day holds huge symbolic value, but his long way home through France Egypt and Cyprus
suggests Lebanon's dependence on outside powers indoors
Knowledge oins us now from Beirut Nala
If Hezbollah is so opposed to Hariri then why isn't it satisfied with him just resigning and being out of the country?
Well because Saad Hariri
specifically the prime minister who a made it possible for
Hezbollah to have its preference for a president actually be elected last year and be
to actually build a coalition
Government that ended more than two years of political chaos so they have what they want, and they want to protect it
And it's why you heard the other day the head of Hezbollah, Hassan, Nasrallah
Actually saying that not only does he demand Hariri coming back, but that he was open to having a dialogue with him
So I think we've all learned over the years that you know what happens in Lebanon tends to ripple
What's your read of the danger here regionally?
Well as you say it's quite simple what happens in Lebanon tends to mirror regional tensions
So if Hariri walks out that is a signal that the two regional powers are seriously at odds and a new
Confrontation on top of what already exists could be quite dangerous and costly and we know already
That a number an untold number of lives have been claimed in that rivalry, Adrienne, okay, Nala. Thank you very much
You're welcome
As Nala explained, what's happening in Lebanon is actually less about Lebanon than the big powers of Iran and Saudi Arabia?
And that Saudi sense that just maybe
Iran is flexing too much power its influence is growing in Iraq and Syria
at a time when Saudi Arabia sees little but trouble a
Catastrophic war in Yemen dropping oil revenues and the Saudis can't stand the idea of being seen as weak
The new crown prince is trying some new moves, so what's he really up to?
Mohammed bin Salman strategy is quick and ruthless earlier this month mere hours after the creation of an anti-corruption task force
He arrested some wealthy and powerful Saudis including blood relatives
Their Jail the Riyadh Ritz Carlton fitting given the estimated 800 billion dollars of net worth held captive inside
Generally Saudi citizens don't have a problem cutting the elite down to size they know
it's corrupt at the top and as a young growing hungry to work population they want a piece of the prosperity and
That's where Mohammed bin Salman or MBS as he's known comes in he is the millennial reformer loosening the rules around

Chicken anubhava
And yes letting women drive the strategy of that in this coke cat change is good
It claims playing right into what NBS wants. This is sort of a shock therapy
It was a shock to the world to say look Saudi Arabia amuse business. We're not just gonna talk off of a beautiful blueprint
We're gonna actually execute a trade advisor in former diplomat Omar alum seized
opportunity for Canada in this he says Saudi Arabia invests around three billion
Dollars here every year and there's room for more the other way canada's trade agenda is all about diversification
Going into new markets so if the kingdom could be used as a market its strategic from a Canadians perspective
But it's also very high-risk one of the big risks having one man controlling all the levers of power. This is a very inexperienced
dynamic
aggressive bold very young man of thirty two years old this autocratic power grab that is
engineering now with success so far inside Saudi Arabia
Is a dangerous signal because it's really telling us that Saudi Arabia is now going to become a very centralized power
state in which total power in all spheres of life is is held in the hands of one person and
Frankly the whole strategy could backfire
He may want and get new investment
But the brutality of his purge of that vicious war in Yemen are stains that might be hard to erase

What do you think your mind kind of explodes, and it's it's you when you're when you're in the situation
You know a mind is a dangerous thing it goes in all sorts of dark holes and suddenly that just disappears
And you just you know there's late and rescuers say Annette is fine. She seemed quite chipper and alert
She had sort of you know advised what she'd done to keep warm
And so it's a it's a it's a miracle to me that she seems in pretty good shape
The dog walker and the three dogs she was with were far off known trails in hard-to-access
Very rugged very wet lots of the raging creeks around her thick underbrush
Very marshy as well, so not easy to travel in no trails
The complicated rescue ended with the cheers of family and friends, and how she got so lost isn't clear
But her husband says he won't grill her yet five minutes after we get home
I told my daughter we gotta wait till we get home the grilling is going to come from her
We're gonna get the grilling guys what took you so long
She was taken to hospital for observation
And after she was safe the three dogs were also brought out
And they stayed with her because they loved her you talk about a dog whisperer this woman is

We have a cbc news randhir canada investigation for you tonight, which has discovered just how vulnerable some canadians
Cell phone users are to hackers
And you wouldn't even know if you've been targeted
Katherine colin is with us now and katherine tell us what our investigative team set out to find
In we heard about a type of cell phone surveillance being used to hack into
People's phones and other parts of the world we wanted to know if it could happen here
So we asked NDP MP, Matthew, Dube if you'd let us try to hack into his phone
He's the vice chair of the House of Commons national security committee
This is a person who is immersed in these kinds of issues all the time at work now working with our colleagues at hydro
Canada we got in touch with some
cybersecurity experts ethical hackers in Berlin we asked Jubei
To get a new phone and give our hackers team his phone number watch what happened
So this is Luca Millette, you're watching him tried to hack Mathieu duvets phone
Just as Dube is speaking with my colleague from gradual, Canada
We also recorded a call between Dube and his assistant, and then we went back and played it for debate
And we were able to track his movements

September 19th
You're in Ottawa this day
And we can see from some of the cell phone towers that you connected with a little bit about where you were interestingly
It shows that you went to the Ottawa Airport that day, but you didn't leave the city. Well. It's funny so
And quite scary actually that was I was at the airport that fairly late or early depending
How you look at it at a because of a delayed flight picking up my partner was on her way home from a business trip
All right, so I need to underscore this
I mean he gave us permission
But still he is astonished at how I guess relatively easy it was for our ethical hacker to get in there
Technically how did that happen? Yeah, let's walk through this
Vulnerability in the global cellular network when I make a phone call or send a text
We all understand that my phone connects to another phone
But there is also a whole other hidden layer of communication that goes on between cell phone networks
it's known as signaling system number seven or
Ss7 it's how they send messages about starting and ending calls or sharing billing information
The problem is that hackers can use ss7 to and send messages that allow them to do things like listen to your phone calls
Read your text messages
even track your location
And this isn't just a theoretical problem. We know that there have been hacks. Yeah, that's right
Just last May we heard about customers of a German bank who had untold amounts of money
stolen from their accounts and this was because of a hack that
Involved an SS 7 attack the US Department of Homeland Security says people have known about weaknesses in SS 7 for more than a decade
And it's not just about spying on phones hackers can change or delete content - like
Redirecting your voicemail or text away from your phone
And you might never even know and to get back to the starting point of the CBC Radio Canada investigation
What does this mean for Canadians well we asked our hackers to test the two largest cell phone networks in the country?
Rogers and fell and just listen to what one of them says isn't being done
I don't think the two Canadian networks would test it did about 10% of the security that they need to
Do to protect from this ss7 attack so 2 for 2 we tested two companies they were both vulnerable to this
But they're not saying much
Well they did both
Refused to give us an interview Ian in a short statement Bell said does work with various groups to address emerging security risks including
Ss7 attacks Rogers also made that point and added on
Ss7 we have already introduced and continued to implement the most advanced technologies
We are unable to share specific details for security reasons, and so what about the the federal government?
Well, we asked the Public Safety Minister what the government is doing to protect Canadians, but his office referred us to CSE
That's the communication security establishment
It's Canada's electronic spy agency the agency says it is actively working with
komm industry and others to try to offer guidance and mitigate the risks associated with ss7 and
Speaking of guidance, and I know you're not going to provide much comfort here
But what what can people do to try to reduce their vulnerability?
Yeah, well you can't use encryption software on your phone things like whatsapp signal or Skype and that can help keep your conversations
Private but the only way to stop your phone from being used to track you is to turn it off
And that's not really all that practical for most reason, thanks Katherine you're welcome

This is a power plant in Puerto Rico and like a lot of the island two months after Hurricane Maria. It is shut down
According to the latest figures Porto Rico's power plants are operating at about 50 percent capacity and with wires still down
It's not clear how much of that juice is actually getting into homes
If you look at this in terms of people per hour without power
This is probably the biggest blackout in US history
And it's turning parts of Puerto Rico into a tech giant testbed for what's called
Micro grids you I normally Otis witnessed one firsthand a tiny patch of light in a dark place
In Puerto Rico now more than ever the Sun holds the best promise of light and this a
Parking lot covered in solar panels is a test of it
right now
We're running on generators because it's cloudy
juliana canino runs puerto rico's only rehabilitation hospital for children a small
But vital place in the community. It's now one of the first energy experiments of its kind on the island
I was amazed because I didn't believe that was something
possible and
They just break ground and in a matter of eight days it was already tested and working
There are about 800 solar panels here on sunny days
They generate enough energy to power the hospital for 20 hours a day the rest of the time it relies on generators
That's precious power on an island that still has so little and it started with an unexpected call from Tesla
So did you feel like you hit the jackpot when you got the call?
I actually felt a little bit skeptical at the beginning
But then when I saw them working I was very relieved
This is the auto companies first project to restore electricity in Puerto Rico as part of its humanitarian aid initiatives here
And no question the optics are good
The hospital is basically a medical orphanage the kids here are under Children's Aid and will likely grow up here
Shoes for these
Dr. Elizabeth Pugin is the medical director?
We have patient with many
critical
chronic severe conditions, we have patients that have
Respiratory conditions that need frequent respiratory therapists we we have patients that need
ventilatory support for sleep during the night
We have patients with cardiac dishes that need an adequate in theater for them to feel good
So it's critical to have the power is critical
The hospital is also a resource for the larger community
More than 3000 children from around the island come for services like speech and occupational therapy the need is huge
So is the appeal for energy the hospital can count on we experienced that firsthand on her visit
While we were there the elevator suddenly lost power the hospital was running on its generator at the time and failed the
Same day the entire island lost power again for several hours
But it was a sobering reminder of how frail traditional power sources can be here
Okay
The panels are only here until Puerto Rico's electrical grid is back up
It's why the hospital is launching a fundraising campaign to buy them. This is where the
Energy is stored the entire system costs about a million u.s.. Dollars
The view from here is all about renewable and above all reliable power

Now Tesla isn't the only company building micro grids in Puerto Rico
The German companies Anand donated 15 micro grid systems and has at least one up and running
predictably all this corporate generosity is generating a lot of buzz but
Micro grids may not be a long-term solution for Puerto Rico to reach its three and a half million people you would need tens of

The reality is that's expected of the mainstream media and remember this guy
Barbara Sheeran featured in this Isis video Bernie in his passport a dozen of them left most of them are dead
Abdul Rahman Ghanim was friends with most of them he spent hours with the men in that study circle even housed two of them in

He says they left with pure intent trying to help innocent women and children
They ended up leaving an impact on the guys they were
Emotionally moved in assess Ghanim never made it to the battlefield
But for years has been questioned by CSIS about his tie
To the Calgary cluster where he did end up was this jail in Algeria detained and tortured
for 13 months on terrorism charges
Ghana believes, it's all because of information CSIS shared with foreign authorities. They could have been

It's because CSIS shared information with foreign states. I'm in Canada. What do you want from me?
You don't want me to work. You don't want me to travel
You don't want me to have a life
