>> Ian: ON THIS SUNDAY NIGHT A
VICIOUS AND UNRELENTING WILDFIRE
SEASON THAT'S JUST GETTING
STARTED.
IF CALIFORNIA THE DEATH TOLL IS
CLIMBING AS EVACUEES SCRAMBLING
FOR SAFETY ARE CAUGHT IN THE
FIRE'S PATH.
AND THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS
SUPPORTING EXHAUSTED CREWS IN
NORTHERN ONTARIO.
>>> ALSO TONIGHT, PAYING TRIBUTE
TO THE DANFORTH SHOOTING VICTIM.
ONE WEEK AFTER GUNFIRE SHATTERED
A WARM SUMMER EVENING, THOSE WHO
WERE THERE, WHO JUMPED INTO
ACTION, WHO TRIED TO SAVE LIVES
REMEMBER.
>>> AND THE BLUE JAY WHO JUST
HIT HIS WAY INTO THE HISTORY
BOOKS, A RECORD THAT NO ROOKIE
HAS ACCOMPLISHED IN MORE THAN
140 YEARS.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>>> THEY HAD NO CHANCE TO RUN
AND NO HELP COULD REACH THEM IN
TIME.
TODAY OFFICIALS IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA SAY THAT A
FAST-MOVING FOREST FIRE HAS
KILLED AT LEAST SIX PEOPLE.
AND THE DANGER IS FAR FROM OVER.
IT'S PART OF A CRUEL AND EARLY
START TO FIRE SEASON ON THE U.S.
WEST COAST.
AND AS LYNDSAY DUNCOMBE REPORTS,
THE WEATHER ISN'T HELPING.
>> Reporter: IT'S A BATTLE
AGAINST AN UNRELENTING INFERNO,
WHIPPED BY STRONG WINDS, FUELLED
BY DRY BRUSH, AND SUSTAINED BY
RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES.
THIS FIRE HAS SPREAD DESTRUCTION
AND TRAGEDY IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA.
MELODY BLEDSOE AND HER TWO
GREAT-GRAND CHILDREN, AGED 4 AND
5 DIED IN THEIR HOME.
HER HUSBAND ED WAS RUNNING AN
ERRAND WHEN HE GOT A FRANTIC
PHONE CALL.
>> HE WAS SAYING GRANDPA,
PLEASE, YOU GOT TO COME HELP US,
THE FIRE IS AT THE BACK DOOR.
I AM LIKE HOLD ON, GRANDPA IS
COMING.
>> Reporter: TWO FIREFIGHTERS
AND AN UNIDENTIFIED PERSON WHO
DID NOT FOLLOW EVACUATION ORDERS
ALSO DIED.
CREWS SUSTAINED TO LOOK FOR
SEVEN MISSING PEOPLE.
MORE THAN 500 STRUCTURES HAVE
BURNED.
ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE RUBBLE.
>> EVERYBODY LOVED THIS PLACE.
IT WASN'T JUST OUR PLACE, BUT IT
WAS ALL OF OUR FAMILY, ALL OF
OUR FRIENDS AND ALL OF OUR
CHILDREN'S FRIENDS.
AND IT'S A BIG LOSS FOR ALL OF
US.
>> Reporter: THE FIRE
CONTINUES TO GROW BUT IT'S NOW
MOVING AWAY FROM POPULATED
AREAS.
>> WE'RE FEELING A LOT MORE
OPTIMISTIC TODAY AS WE'RE
STARTING TO GAIN SOME GROUND.
>> Reporter: CALIFORNIA'S FIRE
CHALLENGES ARE MOUNTING.
MORE THAN A DOZEN MAJOR FIRES
CONTINUE TO BURN.
OTHER STATES AS FAR AWAY AS
FLORIDA ARE SENDING HELP.
SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR PARTS
OF YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK ARE
CLOSED BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH
SMOKE.
A MAJOR FIRE HAS BEEN BURNING
THERE FOR TWO WEEKS NOW AND IS
ONLY 30% CONTAINED.
IN WINE COUNTRY YESTERDAY A
FAST-MOVING FIRE DESTROYED EIGHT
STRUCTURES.
>> THERE WERE PROPANE TANKS AND
CARS BLOWING UP RIGHT UP THE
ROAD.
YOU COULD SEE FLAMES SHOOTING
STRAIGHT UP LIKE A JET ENGINE.
IT WAS DEFINITELY A PROPANE
TANK.
>> Reporter: AS INTENSE AND
DESTRUCTIVE AS IT IS, IT COULD
JUST BE THE BEGINNING.
WILDFIRE SEASON IN CALIFORNIA IS
USUALLY AT ITS WORST IN AUGUST
AND SEPTEMBER.
THERE'S MORE HEAT TO COME.
LYNDSAY DUNCOMBE, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Ian: IT MAY BE EARLY BUT THIS
YEAR'S FIRE SEASON IN CALIFORNIA
IS ALREADY ON TRACK TO BE RECORD
BREAKING.
SO FAR IN 2018 THERE HAVE BEEN
MORE FIRES AND MORE AREA BURNED
THAN THIS TIME LAST YEAR.
AND 2017 WAS THE WORST FIRE
SEASON IN THE STATE'S HISTORY.
BY ITS END MORE THAN 9,000
WILDFIRES HAD TORN THROUGH ABOUT
5,000 SQUARE KILOMETRES OF LAND.
THAT'S ALMOST THE SIZE OF P.E.I.
THOSE FIRES TOOK A FAR GREATER
HUMAN TOLL, KILLING 44 PEOPLE
AND DESTROYING MORE THAN 10,000
HOMES AND BUSINESSES.
ALL FIREFIRES ARE ALSO A THREAT ON THIS
SIDE OF THE BORDER.
39 FIRES ARE BURNING ACROSS THE
NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE
PROVINCE AND A DOZEN ARE NOT YET
UNDER CONTROL.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST IS THE PARRY
SOUND 33.
IT'S BEEN BURNING FOR MORE THAN
A WEEK AND A HALF AND IT'S GROWN
TO MORE THAN 82 SQUARE
KILOMETRES.
>> I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FIRE OF
THAT MAGNITUDE.
IT TOOK US ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO
FLY PAST THAT FIRE AND WE FLY AT
ABOUT 300 KILOMETRES AN HOUR, SO
IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF HOW
LARGE THE FRONT LINE OF THAT
FIRE WAS.
AND THE WATER BOMBERS WERE LIKE
LITTLE YELLOW DOTS WITH SMOKE IN
THE BACKGROUND.
SO IT REALLY GAVE YOU A
PERSPECTIVE OF HOW LARGE THAT
FIRE WAS.
>> Ian: PART OF THE FIRE IS NOW
JUST SEVEN KILOMETRES AWAY FROM
A STRETCH OF THE TRANS-CANADA
HIGHWAY THAT CONNECTS SUDBURY TO
PARRY SOUND.
WINDS ARE FANNING THE FLAMES
TOWARDS HIGHWAY 69, BLANKETING
COMMUNITIES AND SMOKE.
THE CONDITIONS ARE DRY, RAIN IS
NOT EXPECTED IN THE FORECAST
AGAIN FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
GROUND CREWS FROM ONTARIO ARE
BEING ASSISTED BY HUNDREDS OF
FIREFIGHTERS FROM ACROSS CANADA,
THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.
CHRIS ENSING VISITED ONE
COMMUNITY THAT'S PLAYING A BIG
ROLE SUPPORTING THEIR EFFORTS.
>> Reporter: IT'S ONE IN A
STEADY STREAM.
13 HELICOPTERS ARE WORKING THIS
FIRE ENTERING DAY 11.
THE WORK EXHAUSTING BUT MADE A
BIT EASIER THANKS TO THE SMALL
COMMUNITY OF BRITT.
THIS IS BASE CAMP, MAKING THIS
FAMILY FIELD A HELIPAD.
>> THEY'RE COMMITTED TO THEIR
JOB AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GET
THIS UNDER CONTROL AS QUICK AS
THEY CAN.
IT'S NOT HARD TO SEE HOW MUCH
EFFORT THEY PUT IN HERE.
>> Reporter: FIREFIGHTERS HAVE
BEEN WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS.
THE LOCAL LEGION CLOSED
INDEFINITELY, NOW A SPOT WHERE
OFFICIALS CAN PLOT OUT THEIR
NEXT ATTACK.
>> WATER IS FLOWING THROUGH OUR
LAND...
>> Reporter: THEY'RE TRYING TO
PROTECT HOMES LIKE THIS ON THE
FIRST NATION.
ABOUT 200 PEOPLE WERE FORCED OUT
AND THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO RETURN
UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY AT THE
EARLIEST.
>> BEGINNING TO GET A LITTLE BIT
SMOKY HERE.
>> Reporter: CREWS HAVE PLACED
PUMPS AND SPRINKLERS ON HOMES,
PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR THE
WORST CASE SCENARIO.
>> YOU JUST ALMOST STOPPED THE
BOAT AND FIGURE OUT WHERE WE
WERE...
>> Reporter: THIS FAMILY KNOW
THAT FOR SOME IT'S TOO LATE,
SCORCHED EARTH IS ALL THAT'S
LEFT OF 100-YEAR-OLD COTTAGES
PASSED DOWN FOR GENERATIONS AND
THEY'RE READY FOR THIS TO BE
OVER.
>> WE'VE HAD COTTAGERS THAT HAVE
LOST, YOU KNOW, BUILDINGS AND
BEYOND.
AND OUR HEART GOES OUT TO THOSE
WHERE THE FIRE IS STILL
ENCROACHING.
>> Reporter: BACK ON
BELANGER'S FIELD THE NEXT
HELICOPTER PREPARES TO LEAVE.
THERE'S NO EXPECTATION FOR HOW
LONG THIS WILL LAST.
BUT IT'S CLEAR THOSE FIGHTING
THIS FOREST FIRE ARE IN THIS FOR
THE LONG HAUL.
CHRIS ENSING, CBC NEWS, BRITT.
(*)
>> Ian: HERE'S WHAT ELSE WE'RE
WORKING ON TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL"... ANOTHER DISTURBING
VIDEO OF A RACIST CONFRONTATION
EMERGES RAISING THE QUESTION,
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO CONSTITUTE
A HATE CRIME?
>>> A DEADLY EARTHQUAKE IN
INDONESIA SPAWNS AFTERSHOCKS AND
DESTROYS MORE THAN A THOUSAND
HOMES.
>>> BUT, FIRST, IT'S BEEN ONE
WEEK SINCE THE DEADLY SHOOTING
IN TORONTO'S GREEKTOWN.
MANY IN THIS CITY ARE STILL
STRUGGLING TO DEAL WITH WHAT
HAPPENED AND THE IMPACT IT'S
HAD.
THIS EVENING THE MAYOR JOHN TORY
RETURNED TO THE DANFORTH TO
REFLECT ON THE PEOPLE WHO
CONTINUE TO GATHER TO PAY THEIR
RESPECTS.
>> AND THAT'S WHAT SHOWS YOU HOW
STRONG THIS COMMUNITY IS.
IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM THE
TRAGEDY AND IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY
FROM THE GRIEVING BUT IT SHOWS
YOU THAT THIS IS A REAL
COMMUNITY AND AND WE HAVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYS THAT WAY
AND WE FIGHT OFF ANYTHING THAT
WILL THREATEN THAT.
>> Ian: PEOPLE OFFERED
CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES OF
THE TWO KILLED IN THE ATTACK,
10-YEAR-OLD JULIANNA KOZIS AND
18-YEAR-OLD REESE FALLON.
THE C BEFORE C'S GRE CBC'S GREG ROSS HAS M ORE ON
A COMMUNITY STILL STRUGGLING.
>> IT FEELS THAT WE CAN'T WAKE
UP.
>> Reporter: ONE WEEK AFTER
THE SHOOTING ON THE DANFORTH
MANY STILL FEEL THE PAIN.
THIS AFTERNOON FAMILY, FRIENDS,
AND PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY
GATHERED AT A PUBLIC VISITATION
FOR REESE FALLON, THE
18-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO WAS SHOT
AND KILLED LAST SUNDAY.
>> I COME BECAUSE I'M A MOM
MYSELF.
AND I FELT REALLY SAD ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED LAST WEEK.
>> Reporter: MEMBERS OF THE
TORONTO POLICE MOUNTED UNIT
STOOD GUARD OUTSIDE WHILE
MOURNERS MADE THEIR WAY INSIDE
FOR ONE LAST GOODBYE.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE
ANYWHERE NEAR STARTING THE
HEALING PROCESS YET.
WE'RE STILL TRYING TO ACCEPT
WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
>> Reporter: JULIE STEELE IS A
FAMILY FRIEND WHO KNEW FALLON
WELL AND SPOKE TO HER JUST HOURS
BEFORE SHE DIED.
>> WE JUST TALKED ABOUT HOW HER
SUMMER WAS GOING AND HOW HER
FAMILY WAS DOING.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE'RE
NEVER GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER
CONVERSATION EVER AGAIN.
>> Reporter: AT THIS SPOT
WHERE SHE WAS GUNNED DOWN A MAN
WHO IS STILL HAUNTED AFTER
WITNESSING HER LAST MOMENTS.
>> IT ENGRAINS ITSELF IN YOUR
MEMORY.
>> Reporter: MIKE NEMITH LIVES
JUST STEPS AWAY FROM THIS
FOUNTAIN.
HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO
ARRIVE ON SCENE AMONG A GROUP OF
PEOPLE WHO HELPED THE VICTIMS.
HE SAID THAT THE MENTAL ILAGES IMAGES
FROM THAT NIGHT ARE HARD TO
SHAKE.
>> WHAT TRIGGERS ME NOW IS WHEN
I HEAR AMBULANCES AND SIRENS
GOING BY IT BRINGS YOU BACK TO
THAT MOMENT.
>> Reporter: HIGH FINDS
COMFORT IN COMING BACK TO THIS
SAME SPOT EVERY DAY.
>> WHEN ALL OF THIS MAYHEM WAS
GOING ON THERE WERE JUST PEOPLE
YELLING AND SCREAMING AND YOU
COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
AND NOW WE'RE HERE AND KEY CAN
HEAR THE FOUNTAIN AND IT KIND OF
BRINGS SOME CALM.
>> Reporter: FALLON'S FUNERAL
IS SCHEDULE FORWARD MONDAY
MORNING AND WE'RE ALSO EXPECTING
THE PRIME MINISTER TO BE IN THE
CITY MONDAY AFTERNOON.
WE'RE TOLD THAT HE'LL COME HERE
TO THIS FOUNTAIN WHERE HE'LL LAY
FLOWERS AT THIS GROWING MEMORIAL
FOR THE VICTIMS.
GREG ROSS, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> >> Ian: WHILE THE DANFORTH TRIES
TO RETURN TO SOME SENSE OF
NORMAL, ONE STARK REMINDER OF
LAST SUNDAY NIGHT DIMITRIS
REMAINS BOARDED UP.
IT WILL LIKELY BE CLOSED FOR
SEVERAL MORE DAYS.
>> HEALTH AUTHORITIES ON THE
WEST COAST ARE RAISING THE ALARM
AGAIN ABOUT OPIOID OVERDOSES.
ACCORDING TO HEALTH SERVICES,
PARAMEDICS RESPONDED TO 130
OVERDOSE CALLS IN THE PROVINCE
IN A SINGLE DAY LAST FRIDAY.
THE NUMBER REACHED ONLY ONCE
BEFORE ON APRIL 26, 2017.
SO WHY THE SUDDEN SPIKE?
>> IT'S A COMBINATION OF A
COUPLE OF FACTORS.
THERE WERE A LOT OF OVERDOSES IN
THE SAFE INJECTION SITES AND IN
THE PREVENTION AREAS.
WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING
VERY TOXIC ON THE STREET.
THAT COMBINED WITH THE FACT THAT
THE INCOME ASSISTANCE CHEQUES
WENT OUT WHERE WE ALWAYS SEE A
SPIKE RESULTED IN THIS 130
OVERDOSES.
>> Ian: ALL 130 PEOPLE WHO
OVERDOSED WERE REVIVED BUT STILL
IN B.C. THERE IS A DESIRE TO
INTERVENE MUCH SOONER WHEN
ADDICTION GRIP IS FIRST TAKING
HOLD -- PERHAPS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
BRIAR STEWART NOW ON AN
INNOVATIVE IDEA AND ITS
CHALLENGES.
>> WHAT WAS THE CLASSROOM...
>> Reporter: INSIDE THIS ROOM
ARE THE REMNANTS OF QUEST
COLLEGIATE IN BARRIE, ONTARIO,
CANADA'S FIRST AND ONLY RECOVERY
SCHOOL.
WITH A FEW DOZEN TEENS WHO WENT
THERE A KEY PART OF THE
CURRICULUM WAS THERAPY AND
COUNSELLING IN ADDITION TO
ACADEMICS.
>> IF THEY'RE NOT CONSTRUCTIVELY
PRESENT IN THE CLASSROOM THERE'S
NO POINT IN TRYING TO TEACH THEM
HISTORY.
JUST STOP AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS
GOING ON.
THAT IS A REAL POWER OF THE
REHAB HIGH SCHOOL MOMENT.
>> Reporter: RECOVERY SCHOOLS
ARE DESIGNED TO HELP TEENS
STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION AND
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
QUEST, WHICH STARTED IN 2014,
WAS MODELED AFTER SIMILAR
PROGRAMMES IN THE U.S.
BUT THIS MONTH IT WAS SHUTDOWN
BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FINANCIAL
COMMITMENT FROM GOVERNMENT TO
KEEP IT GOING.
>> AND I JUST COULDN'T GET
ANYBODY TO CHAMPION IT.
>> Reporter: BUT JUST AS THIS
SCHOOL WAS SHUTTERED THERE WERE
CALLS TO CREATE ONE JUST LIKE IT
IN B.C.
THE PROVINCE IS AT THE CENTRE OF
THE NATIONAL OPIOID CRISIS.
THE NEWLY RELEASED REPORT ON
SUBSTANCE USE URGED THE
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TO DO MORE
TO SUPPORT ADDICTION RECOVERY,
INCLUDING CREATING SCHOOLS.
>> WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW
ISN'T WORKING.
>> Reporter: MARSHALL SMITH
SAYS WITH THOUSANDS STILL
OVERDOSING HEALTH OFFICIALS NEED
TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE.
>> HARM REDUCTION WILL GET US SO
FAR, RECOVERY AND COMMUNITY
CONNECTION IS GOING TO GET US
THE REST OF THE WAY.
>> I LIKE THAT PICTURE.
>> Reporter: FOR THEM A
RECOVERY SCHOOL IS AN OPTION
THEY WISH THEY HAD WHEN THEIR
DAUGHTER OLA STARTED
EXPERIMENTING WITH DRUGS AT 13.
BY THE TIME SHE WAS IN GRADE 12
SHE WAS FREQUENTLY SKIPPING
CLASS, BUT HER MOTHER FEARED
SPEAKING WITH TEACHERS ABOUT HER
DAUGHTER'S ADDICTION.
>> WHAT I THOUGHT IS THAT THEY'D
THINK LESS OF HER.
YOU KNOW, SHE WAS STRUGGLING
ALREADY IN A COUPLE AREAS AND
THEY KNOW THAT SHE'S USING DRUGS
THEY'LL GIVE UP.
>> Reporter: SHE DIED OF AN
OVERDOSE IN 2015.
SHE WAS 21.
HER PARENTS SAY THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT KIND OF DIFFERENCE A
RECOVERY SCHOOL COULD HAVE MADE.
>> YEAH, I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO
HAVE TRIED THAT WHEN SHE WAS
REALLY YOUNG.
>> Reporter: BUT SHE BELIEVES
THAT IT'S TIME TO TRY ANYTHING
THAT MIGHT PREVENT SOMEONE
ELSE'S CHILD FROM FALLING DEEPER
INTO ADDICTION.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Ian: WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON
SOME DEVELOPING STORIES TONIGHT,
INCLUDING A MANHUNT FOR TWO
GUNMEN IN NEW ORLEANS.
>> PUT THE GUNS DOWN.
THAT'S SOMEBODY THAT I LOVED.
>> Ian: THAT WOMAN'S SON WAS ONE
OF THREE PEOPLE GUNNED DOWN LAST
NIGHT.
TWO MEN OPENING FIRE, ONE WITH A
HANDGUN, AND THE OTHER WITH A
RIFLE.
THE PAIR SHOT INTO THE CROWD AND
THEN STOOD OVER ONE PERSON AND
FIRED MULTIPLE BULLETS BEFORE
TAKING OFF.
>>> WELL, HERE'S A DRAMATIC
VIDEO OF THOSE FLEEING THE
WILDFIRES IN GREECE.
DOZENS OF PEOPLE JUMPED INTO THE
SEA IN THE RESORT TOWN EAST OF
ATHENS TO ESCAPE THE FLAMES.
THEY WERE LATER RESCUED BY THE
COAST GUARD.
MANY OTHERS WEREN'T SO
FORTUNATE.
THEY WERE AMONG THE 91 PEOPLE
KILLED.
>>> AND AFTERSHOCKS CONTINUE IN
INDONESIA AFTER A POWERFUL
EARTHQUAKE HIT A POPULAR TOURIST
ISLAND.
THE MAGNITUDE 6.4 QUAKE KILLING
AT LEAST 14 PEOPLE AND INJURING
160 MORE.
RENÉE FILIPPONE WATCHES
DEVELOPING STORIES FOR "THE
NATIONAL" ON SUNDAYS.
RENEE?
>> Reporter: IT HAPPENED JUST
BEFORE 7:00 THIS MORNING,
SHAKING MANY PEOPLE AWAKE AND
SENDING THEM RUNNING FROM THEIR
HOMES.
THE SHAKING LASTED ABOUT 10
SECONDS AND IT WAS ESPECIALLY
DANGEROUS NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT
WAS STRONG BUT THE QUAKE WAS
ALSO SHALLOW WITH A DEPTH OF
JUST 7.5 KILOMETRES.
THE ISLAND OF LOMBOK IS NOT FAR
FROM BALI.
IT'S POPULAR FOR TOURISTS
BECAUSE OF THE PRISTINE BEACHES
AND THE HIKING ON THE ISLAND'S
VOLCANIC MOUNTAIN.
SO THE AREAS HIT HARDEST WERE
SMALL VILLAGES IN THE NORTH AND
THE EAST.
SO MORE THAN 1,000 HOMES WERE
DESTROYED, SOME TOTALLY
COLLAPSING.
THE RED CROSS SAYS THAT THEY'RE
STILL WORKING TO FIGURE OUT HOW
MANY PEOPLE ARE MISSING.
BUT RIGHT NOW VOLUNTEERS ARE
WORKING WITH POLICE AND RESCUE
TEAMS TO HELP THE INJURED AND TO
CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR SURVIVORS.
>> WE WERE GOING OUT TO PLAY...
>> Reporter: THIS MAN FROM
MALAYSIA WAS VACATIONING IN
LOMBOK.
HE RAN OUTSIDE DURING THE QUAKE
AND WATCHED AS THE HOUSE THAT HE
WAS STAYING IN COLLAPSED,
KILLING A FRIEND.
NOW IT'S ALREADY DAYTIME TUESDAY
IN INDONESIA AND WE'RE WATCHING
FOR MORE AFTERSHOCKS.
ALREADY 100 HAVE BEEN REPORTED,
THE LARGEST MAGNITUDE 5.7.
AND LUCKILY THE LARGE QUAKE
DIDN'T CAUSE A TSUNAMI BUT THIS
IS AN AREA THAT IS NO STRANGER
TO EARTHQUAKES AS IT'S PART OF
THE PACIFIC RING OF FIRE.
IAN?
>> Ian: ALL RIGHT, RENEE, THANK
YOU.
>> Reporter: YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> Ian: STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL"... A FEAT THAT HAS
NEVER BEEN DONE IN THE HISTORY
OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL UNTIL
TODAY.
WE'LL SHOW YOU A BLUE JAYS'
RECORD MOMENT.
AND TEGAN AND SARA ON THEIR 20
YEAR CAREER AND WHAT COMES NEXT.
>> AND PARRY SOUND SHOWS UP.
A LOCAL GROCERY STORE IS
OVERWHELMED WITH VOLUNTEERS TO
PACK BOXES FOR THE FIREFIGHTING
CREWS.
THAT'S OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> MY HOUSE WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH
TO HOLD A FAMILY THAT IS
>> Ian: FOR A SECOND TIME IN A
WEEK A VIDEO OF A RACIALLY
CHARGED CONVERSATION IN ONTARIO
HAS BEEN POSTED ONLINE.
THAT'S LED PEOPLE TO QUESTION
WHETHER AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE
TREATING THESE CASES AS HATE
CRIMES.
THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT
HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF A WALMART
NEAR HAMILTON AFTER A DISPUTE
OVER A PARKING SPACE.
>> WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
>> Ian: THE VIDEO BEGINS WITH
THE MAN ON THE LEFT CONFRONTING
THE DRIVER.
THE MAN'S WIFE IS TAKING
VIDEOTAPE AND APPEARS TO GET HIT
BY THE TRUCK.
>> GET OUT OF THE WAY.
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
YOU PUT YOUR [BLEEP] HANDS ON
ME AND I WILL BREAK YOUR LEGS.
>> STOP IT.
>> YOU'RE TRYING TO HARASS ME
AND I'M TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY.
>> Ian: IT ENDED WITH THIS.
>> [BLEEP]
>> I WILL KILL YOUR CHILDREN
FIRST.
>> Ian: THE DRIVER IS CHARGED
WITH VET THATTENNING DEATH AND
DANGEROUS DRIVING AND FAILING TO
REMAIN AT THE SCENE OF AN
ACCIDENT.
POLICE ARE REVIEWING IT AS A
POSSIBLE HATE CRIME.
THIS FOLLOWS ANOTHER ENCOUNTER
CAUGHT ON VIDEO, THIS ONE IN
TORONTO.
>> YOU DON'T ASK ME A QUESTION
HERE IN MY [BLEEP] PROVINCE.
I GREW UP HERE.
>> Ian: THE MAN IN THE RED SHIRT
HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS
OF ASSAULT AND ONE COUNT OF
THREATENING DEATH.
AND TORONTO POLICE SAY THEY DO
CONSIDER THIS A HATE CRIME.
>> YOU DO NOT QUESTION ME HERE
IN MY PROVINCE!
[BLEEP]
>> Ian: THESE VIDEOS HAVE LED TO
A VIGOROUS DEBATE ON SOCIAL
MEDIA.
AMONG THE ISSUES, WERE THEY HATE
CRIMES AND IF SO, WHAT WOULD THE
CONSEQUENCES BE?
A LEGAL EXPERT THAT WE TALKED TO
SAID THAT THE WORDS AND THE
ACTIONS IN THE VIDEO APPEAR TO
HIM TO BE MOTIVATED BY HATE AND
IF A JUDGE AGREES THAT WOULD
MAKE JAILTIME LIKELY.
>> HATE AS A MOTIVATION FOR A
CRIME CONSTITUTES A STRONG
AGGRAVATING FEATURE WHICH THE
COURT SHOULD TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION AND SHOULD IMPOSE
A DETERRENT SENTENCE.
IT HAS TO SEND AN IMPORTANT
MESSAGE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMUNITY WHO FEEL MARGINALIZED
THAT THEY'LL BE PROTECTED AND IT
HAS TO SEND AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
TO THOSE WHO MIGHT BE
LIKE-MINDED THAT HATE COMES WITH
A CONSEQUENCE.
>> YOU [BLEEP] PIECE OF...
>> Ian: SANDLER POINTED OUT THAT
THERE MAY BE MORE TO WHAT THAT
HAPPENED THAN WE CAN SEE IN THE
VIDEOS BUT THE VIDEOS ALSO MAKE
THE CONDUCT OF BOTH MEN VERY
CLEAR.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," COULD AN INVENTIVE
SOLUTION TO CLEAN UP THE WATER
BECOME MORE GARBAGE ITSELF?
>>> AND FROM OUTSIDERS TO
ACTIVISTS, TO TOTAL MAINSTREAM
POP STARS.
WE REVISIT ROSEMARY'S INTERVIEW
WITH TEGAN AND SARA.
>> WHEN WE STARTED OUR MUSIC
CAREER WE WERE SORT OF STARTING
FROM A PLACE WHERE THERE WASN'T
VERY HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR US.
YOU KNOW, EVEN MAYBE FROM WITHIN
OURSELVES.
* YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOUR
BOYFRIEND *
* AND TRUST ME
* ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS
* CAN YOU COME A LITTLE CLOSER
>> Ian: TEGAN AND SARA HAVE
PRODUCED SOME OF THE BEST POP
SONGS TO COME OUT OF THIS
COUNTRY.
AND JUST LAST MONTH THEY
ACCEPTED THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S
AWARD FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS.
GIVEN THEY'RE ARTISTS WHO HAVE
DONE SIGNIFICANT THINGS BY THE
MIDDLE OF THEIR CAREERS.
AMONG THEIR FANS IS OUR OWN
ROSEMARY BARTON.
SHE SAT DOWN WITH TEGAN AND SARA
TO DISCUSS THAT CAREER AND WHY
IT'S ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN
THEIR MUSIC.
HERE'S ANOTHER LOOK...
>> Rosemary: TEGAN AND SARA
HAVE SOLD OVER A MILLION RECORDS
AND PERFORMED SOLDOUT SHOWS
ACROSS THE GLOBE.
>> DID YOU KNOW THAT WE WERE
GIRLS?
>> Rosemary: IT EVOLVED FROM
THEIR EARLY INDIE DAYS.
(*)
TO POP STARS PERFORMING AT THE
OSCARS.
(*)
BUT TEGAN AND SARA'S IMPACT GOES
WELL BEYOND THE MUSIC THEY MAKE.
THE TWINS ARE COMMITTED TO USING
THEIR POPULARITY TO CREATE
CHANGE.
IN 2016, THEY LAUNCHED THE TEGAN
AND SARA FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT
AND ADVOCATE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS
IN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.
>> TO BE STRONG LEADERS WE HAVE
TO BE HEALTHY AND WE HAVE TO BE
CONFIDENT.
[Applause]
>> Rosemary: BECAUSE OF THAT
TEGAN AND SARA ARE THE TOAST OF
OTTAWA THIS WEEKEND, RECOGNISED
WITH THE 2018 GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S
PERFORMING ARTS AWARD.
AND I MET UP WITH TEGAN AND SARA
AT RIDEAU HALL AND ASKED THEM
ABOUT WHAT THIS AWARD MEANS TO
THEM.
HELLO.
>> HI.
>> Rosemary: GOOD TO SEE YOU
BOTH.
>> YOU TOO.
>> Rosemary: DID YOU THINK
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER WOMEN,
TEENAGERS, CRAFTING IDEAS, THAT
YOUR MUSIC WOULD BRING YOU TO
RIDEAU HALL, TO A GOVERNOR --
LIKE WAS THAT EVEN --
>> WELL, THE VERY, VERY SIMPLE
ANSWER IS, OF COURSE, ABSOLUTELY
NOT.
BACK IN THE 1990s WHEN WE
STARTED IT WAS PREINTERNET AND
ACCESS TO ANYTHING ERA.
SO I DON'T THINK THAT WE KNEW
WHAT TO REACH FOR AND WE KNEW
THAT WE WANTED TO PLAY MUSIC AND
WE WANTED TO SUCCESSFUL AT THAT.
AND THE FACT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE
TO HAVE A JOB AND WE GOT A
RECORD DEAL WE THOUGHT THAT WE
WERE TRULY SUCCESSFUL.
PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE DO YOU
CONSIDER YOURSELF SUCCESSFUL?
AND WE WERE VERY COCKY AND WE
WERE LIKE 21 GOING, YEAH, YEAH,
WE DON'T HAVE A JOB.
SO I DIDN'T IMAGINE THIS.
>> THE 2018... TEGAN AND SARA...
[Applause]
>> BUT CERTAINLY AS OUR CAREER
HAS PROGRESSED IT'S THESE VERY
IMPORTANT COUNTRY WIDE THINGS
LIKE JUNOS AND THE
GOVERNOR-GENERAL, YOU KNOW, THAT
PROVES TO YOU THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
SUCCESSFUL.
>> Rosemary: DOES IT MAKE YOU
FEEL VALUED BY CANADA MAYBE IN A
DIFFERENT WAY?
>> ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE
THIS WHERE IT'S REALLY A BIG
HONOUR.
>> IMAGINE WE'RE LIKE, NO.
[laughter]
IT DOES FEEL REALLY NICE AND I
THINK THAT SOMETIMES TEGHAN AND
I DON'T SHARE EXACTLY THE SAME
PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS AND I
THINK FOR A LONG TIME FOR MYSELF
ANYWAY THAT I SORT OF LONGED FOR
THIS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR
RECOGNITION.
>> SHE WANTED THE AWARD.
>> NOT EVEN AWARDS.
I THINK THAT TO SOME DEGREE WHEN
WE STARTED OUR MUSIC CAREER WE
WERE SORT OF STARTING FROM A
PLACE WHERE THERE WASN'T VERY
HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR US.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE EVEN FROM WITHIN
OURSELVES.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE TEGHAN
SAID TO HAVE A RECORD DEAL, THAT
WAS A BIG DEAL.
BUT TO AIM MUCH HIGHER THAN
THAT, I DON'T THINK THAT REALLY
CAME NATURALLY TO US.
AND SO THIS AWARD FOR ME,
ANYWAYS, IT SORT OF SAYS, LIKE,
IT SAYS SOMETHING BIG ABOUT WHAT
OTHER PEOPLE THINK ABOUT OUR
FUTURE.
SO IT MEANS A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT.
>> Rosemary: WHAT I FIND SO
INTERESTING ABOUT BOTH OF YOU IS
YOU'RE NOT JUST -- LIKE YOU'RE
NOT JUST IN A BAND AND IT'S A
LITTLE MORE COMPLEX THAN THAT.
TO ME THAT'S WHAT ATTRACTS ME TO
THE MUSIC AS WELL.
SO MAYBE TALK TO ME ABOUT WHO
THE MUSIC IS FOR BECAUSE I WAS
SAYING TO MY PRODUCER BEFORE
THAT IT'S INTERESTING, THERE MAY
HAVE BEEN A TIME IN MY LIFE
WHERE I WOULD HAVE SAID OH, THIS
IS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GAY WOMEN
SINGING FOR GAY WOMEN.
THAT'S NOT THE CASE, RIGHT?
LIKE I TOTALLY RELATE TO ALL OF
THE SONGS.
>> MAYBE YOU'RE GAY.
[laughter]
>> YOU'RE WELCOME FOR AWAKENING
YOU.
[laughter]
>> Rosemary: WHAT WOULD YOU
SAY THOUGH ABOUT THAT
PROGRESSION?
IT'S SO INTERESTING IN THE MUSIC
CULTURE OR THE WORLD, I DON'T
KNOW.
>> I THINK THAT IS ALSO JUST A
SIGN OF THE TIMES.
I THINK THAT THINGS CHANGED.
OUR 20-YEAR CAREER HAS BEEN
INCREDIBLE FOR MANY REASONS BUT
ONE IS A FRONT ROW SEAT TO HOW
MUCH THINGS HAVE CHANGED AND
EVOLVED.
WHEN WE STARTED IN THE LATE
1990s THERE WAS RAMPANT SEXISM
AND HOMOPHOBIA IN THE PRESS THAT
COVERED US.
A LOT OF BLATANT BUT A LOT OF
THINLY VEILED, RIGHT, AND IT WAS
VERY MUCH IN THE SUBTEXT.
THEY'RE GIRLS AND THEY'RE QUEER
AND UNLESS YOU'RE A GIRL OR
COLLEGE AGED OR QUEER YOU
PROBABLY WON'T GET IT.
WE GREW UP ON ICONIC POP AND WE
HEARD HETEROSEXUALS AND WE
RELATED.
AND I THINK WHAT IS MAGNIFICENT
ABOUT THE LAST 20 YEARS WE HAVE
BROADENED THE WAY THAT WE LOOK
AT THERE AND MUSIC IS NOT AIMED
AT ONE TYPE OF PERSON.
IT'S SUPER CHEESY BUT WE ALWAYS
SAY THAT WE'RE SPEAKING A
UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
WE GO ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND
IN SOME PLACES THAT WE GO THE
ONLY ENGLISH THAT THE AUDIENCE
KNOWS IS THE LYRICS TO SING
ALONG.
I THINK THAT IT BRINGS PEOPLE
TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT IS REALLY
COOL AND UNIQUE.
IT'S ALSO ONE OF THOSE THINGS
THAT I PERSONALLY -- I KNOW THAT
SARA AND I FEEL DIFFERENT.
BUT I DIDN'T FEEL MARGINALIZED
TO START WITH.
I SAW A WIDE SPECTRUM OF PEOPLE
ENJOYING OUR MUSIC.
>> Rosemary: YOU AGREE?
>> I WAS LIKE, NO.
>> Rosemary: SHE SAID YOU
DISAGREE ON SOME OF THE PARTS.
>> I DO.
>> Rosemary: DID YOU FEEL AT
SOME POINT THAT YOU WERE SORT OF
OUT THERE?
>> I THINK THAT THE BENCH MARKS
AND THE TASTE MAKERS THAT I
REALLY VALUED WHEN I WAS A YOUNG
PERSON, I DON'T THINK THAT WE
NECESSARILY CONNECTED WITH THEM.
AND I REMEMBER REALLY, REALLY
STRUGGLING WITH THAT.
>> Rosemary: I COULDN'T
IDENTIFY WITH THEM?
>> I COULD IDENTIFY WITH THEM
BUT I DIDN'T THINK THAT THEY
COULD IDENTIFY WITH US.
SO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT I
WAS REALLY INTO I KNEW THAT OUR
BAND IS NOT NECESSARILY LUMPED
IN WITH THOSE PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, BANDS THAT I REALLY
LOVED.
I CAN REMEMBER THAT I LIVED IN
MONTREAL ALL THROUGH MY 20s
AND I REMEMBER LOVING ARCADE
FIRE.
AND I REMEMBER LOVING THAT IDEA
OF MONTREAL HAS A SCENE AND HERE
ARE ALL OF THE BANDS IN THAT
SCENE.
BUT I KNEW THAT I WASN'T IN THAT
SCENE, EVEN IF I LIKED THAT
MUSIC, EVEN IF I WAS AT THOSE
EARLY SHOWS.
I THINK THAT REALLY BOTHERED ME.
I WANTED TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED
SOMEHOW.
AND I THINK THAT TEGHAN SHE
LIVED IN VANCOUVER AND SHE WAS A
PART OF A REALLY DIFFERENT SORT
OF SET OF CULTURAL MOVEMENTS.
>> WHAT IS IT, I HAVE ALWAYS
DANCED TO THE BEAT OF MY OWN
DRUM.
>> I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S
INTERESTING, BECAUSE WHEN I GO
BACK NOW AND I LISTEN TO OUR
EARLY MUSIC I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY
PEOPLE WHO WERE PERHAPS NOT
YOUNG WOMEN OR QUEER DIDN'T
NECESSARILY RELATE TO US.
BUT WE ALSO HAD A DIFFERENT -- I
HAD ONLY SEEN A CERTAIN AMOUNT
OF LIFE AT THAT POINT.
I'M 37 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE
TRAVELLED AROUND THE WORLD AND I
HAVE RUN A BUSINESS AND I HAVE
EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE LONG-TERM
RELATIONSHIPS.
AND WE HAVE EXPERIENCED LIFE AND
DEATH, ALL OF THESE THINGS.
IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME THAT
THERE WOULD BE MORE -- THAT
PEOPLE WOULD FIND US MORE
RELATABLE NOW.
WE ARE A LOT MORE RELATABLE NOW
TO A LOT MORE PEOPLE.
BUT IT'S ALSO NICE TO EMBRACE
OUR IDENTITY AS WOMEN AND QUEER
WOMEN IN A REALLY DIFFERENT WAY
NOW.
BEFORE IT WAS SORT OF DEFENSIVE
AND WE WERE EXPLAINING OURSELVES
TO PEOPLE.
NOW WE FEEL THAT WE ARE
EXPRESSING SOMETHING ABOUT OUR
IDENTITY THAT WE'RE REALLY PROUD
OF.
AND THE SORT OF SOCIAL
RECOGNITION AND ACCEPTANCE FEELS
MUCH MORE -- FEELS MUCH MORE
BROAD NOW.
>> Rosemary: THAT ACTIVISM, DO
YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY BEING
QUEER WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES
AS YOU DO IN CANADA?
I JUST WONDER UNDER THIS
ADMINISTRATION WHETHER YOU FEEL
MAYBE NOT AS COMFORTABLE AS YOU
ONCE DID OR AS YOU WOULD HAVE
HOPED TO BE?
>> IT'S A COMPLICATED QUESTION.
YOU KNOW, WHEN THE ELECTION
HAPPENED WE WERE ON TOUR AND WE
WERE DEFINITELY REALLY SAD.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST
10 YEARS PRETTY MUCH LIVING IN
AMERICA AND WORKING IN AMERICA
SINCE THE LATE 1990s.
WE HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY IN THE
STATES AND WE BOTH DATE
AMERICANS.
SO WE WERE REALLY INVESTED IN
THE ELECTION.
SO WE WERE REALLY SAD.
AND I LIKED THE IDEA OF A FEMALE
PRESIDENT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE
GREAT.
I THINK IN THE TIME THAT HAS
PASSED SINCE WE'RE DEFINITELY
VERY MOTIVATED AND HYPER
VIGILANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
GIVING BACK AND DOING AS MUCH AS
WE POSSIBLY CAN TO SUPPORT THE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE UNDER
ATTACK.
AND SPECIFICALLY, OBVIOUSLY,
WOMEN AND LGBTQ PEOPLE.
THOSE ARE COMMUNITIES THAT WE
HAVE REALLY FOCUSED ON AND
CAUSES THAT WE HAVE CENTRED IN
OUR ACTIVISM, IN OUR AWARENESS.
YEAH, IT'S FRIGHTENING AND IT'S
SCARY AND IT'S COMPLICATED AND
IT'S FRUSTRATING.
IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD AND SAD.
AND I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST SEEING SO
MUCH NEGATIVITY IN THE NEWS.
SOMETIMES I'M LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA
AND WE NEED AN ASTEROID TO
BLIGHT THOSE ALL OUT.
>> THANK YOU FOR TELLING
EVERYONE THAT.
>> Rosemary: IT'S A DARK ONE.
>> I WON'T GET MY AWARD NOW
BECAUSE I'M ARK NIL ANNIHILATED.
>> BUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
COIN WHICH IS THAT AMERICA,
WHICH HAS BEEN A HOME TO US FOR
10 YEARS, IS A REALLY GREAT
COUNTRY AND THE MAJORITY OF
PEOPLE THAT I MEET ARE REALLY
WONDERFUL.
CANADA HAS A LOT OF THE SAME
PROBLEMS THAT AMERICA DOES, JUST
ON A SMALLER AND MORE POLITE
SCALE.
WE DIDN'T THINK, LET'S LEAVE.
WELL, GOOD LUCK, SEE YOU IN A
FEW YEARS.
WE WERE PLAYING THE DAY THAT
GEORGE BUSH DECLARED WAR ON
IRAQ.
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH MANY BAD
ADMINISTRATIONS IN THE U.S.
WE HAVE BEEN THERE AND WITNESSED
THESE THINGS AND RALLIED AND
WALKED.
AND WE FOUGHT FOR MARRIAGE
EQUALITY FOR TWO YEARS DOWN
THERE AND TOURED AROUND
EXPRESSING TO OUR AUDIENCE TO
OPEN THEIR MINDS.
WE HAVE DONE IT BEFORE AND WE'LL
DO IT AGAIN.
THE FLIPSIDE OF THAT, IT'S LIKE
IT ALWAYS DOES.
>> Rosemary: IT'S SO COOL TO
RECOGNIZE YOUNG WOMEN DOING
INCREDIBLE THINGS, NOT JUST IN
MUSIC BUT IN LIFE.
AND SO BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES.
LIKE REALLY CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Rosemary: IT'S AWESOME.
>> THANKS.
>> Ian: LAST NIGHT IN SALT LAKE
CITY A MILLION DOLLARS WAS
RAISED TO HELP LGBT YOUTH AND
THE TEGAN AND SARA FOUNDATION IS
GOING TO HELP SPEND IT.
IT WAS THE SECOND ANNUAL
FUNDRAISER HELD IN THE UTAH
CAPITAL.
THIS YEAR IT MORE THAN DOUBLED
IN SIZE TO 35,000 PEOPLE.
AND TEGHAN WAS RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THINGS CLEARLY IN HER
ELEMENT AND THE CONCERT IS
CALLED "LOVE LOUD" AND CONCEIVED
BY DAN REYNOLDS FROM THE GROUP,
IMAGINE DRAGONS.
>> NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," THE
DISPATCH.
WE TAKE YOU TO ALAMEDA,
CALIFORNIA, HOME TO AN AMBITIOUS
PLAN TO CLEAN UP THE OCEAN.
>> EVERY FEW MONTHS OR SO IT
WOULD COME WITH THE GARBAGE IN
THE OCEAN AND EMPTY THE SYSTEM
AND TAKE THE PLASTIC BACK TO
LAND WHERE IT COULD THEN BE
RECYCLED.
>> Ian: BUT THERE'S SERIOUS
DOUBTS WHETHER IT WILL WORK OR
IF IT WILL JUST BECOME ANOTHER
PIECE OF OCEAN GARBAGE ITSELF.
>>> FIRST, IN WHAT HAS NOT BEEN
THE GREATEST OF THE SEASONS FOR
THE BLUE JAYS, AN HISTORIC
ACCOMPLISHMENT TODAY BY ONE OF
THEIR YOUNG STARS.
>> CHECK IT.
>> Ian: FOR A ROOKIE TO HAVE ONE
GAME OF MULTIPLE HITS, NOT BAD.
TWO GAMES IN A ROW A NICE STREAK
STREAK.
BUT DATING BACK TO JULY 11th,
294-YEAR-OLD HAS HAD MULTIPLE
HITS IN 11 CONSECUTIVE GAMES.
THAT BREAKS THE ROOKIE RECORD.
>> THAT'S A BASE HIT, AND
ANOTHER MULTI-HIT GAME FOR
GUERRERO.
11 IN A ROW.
>> Ian: IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT
A FIRST-YEAR PLAYER HAS DONE
THAT IN THE HISTORY OF MAJOR
LEAGUE BASEBALL.
AND YOU MAY NOT BE SURPRISED TO
HEAR TODAY'S ACCOMPLISHMENT
COMES WITH SOME BAD NEWS.
ON HIS LAST PLAY OF THE GAME HE
TWISTED HIS AMPGLE AND KNEE AND
NEEDED HELP TO GET OFF THE
>> Ian: PLASTIC POLLUTION.
EVERY YEAR ABOUT EIGHT MILLION
TONNES OF THIS TYPE OF WASTE
ENDS IN OUR OCEANS ADDING TO THE
150 MILLION TONNES THAT'S
ALREADY THERE.
AND THAT FIGURE COULD TRIPLE
OVER THE NEXT DECADE IF THERE
ISN'T SOME SORT OF INTERVENTION.
MUCH OF THIS MARINE WASTE IS
NON- DEGRADABLE, BUT HOW TO
CLEAN IT UP IS THE SUBJECT FOR
SEVERAL YEARS AS ONCE PRISTINE
COASTLINES BECOME MORE AND MORE
POLLUTED.
IN TONIGHT'S "DISPATCH" FROM
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA, KIM
BRUNHUBER TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT
WHAT IS BEING DONE TO FIX ALL OF
THIS.
>> Reporter: NEAR A LOS
ANGELES PIER, A SLOW-MOVING
STREAM OF GARBAGE.
PLASTIC BAGS, PLASTIC STRAWS,
PLASTIC BOTTLES, PLASTIC LIDS.
THEY FLOW BY ON AN AQUATIC
CONVEYOR BELT.
IT NEVER STOPS.
THERE'S ALWAYS MORE.
ON THE WATER ANGLERS COMPETE
WITH SEA LIONS FOR THE FISH THAT
SWIM AMIDST THE TRASH.
ALL OF THIS PLASTIC GARBAGE IS
CARRIED HERE BY OCEAN CURRENTS
AND ACCUMULATES ON SHORE.
SEVEN YEARS AGO THIS PHENOMENON
GAVE DUTCHMAN SLAT AN IDEA AND
INSPIRED AN EXTRAORDINARY PLAN
TO CLEAN IT ALL UP.
>> WHEN I WAS 16 YEARS OLD I WAS
SCUBA DIVING IN GREECE AND IT
WAS MORE PLASTIC BAGS THAN FISH.
AT THE TIME I THOUGHT COASTLINES
HAVE EFFECTIVE WAYS OF CATCHING
PLASTIC.
>> Reporter: SO HE THOUGHT,
WHY NOT INVENT A FLOATING
COASTLINE OF SORTS TO GATHER UP
ALL OF THAT PLASTIC.
ACROSS THE BRIDGE FROM SAN
FRANCISCO IS THE ALAMEDA
ASSEMBLY YARD.
WORKERS HAVE BEEN AT IT SINCE
MAY AKIM BLING WHAT WILL BECOME
THE LONGEST FLOATING STRUCTURE
IN THE OCEAN.
>> WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS A
FLOATING PIPE...
>> Reporter: HERE'S THE PLAN.
AN ENORMOUS U-SHAPED PIPE WILL
SUPPORT A MESH SCREEN HANGING
ABOUT THREE METRES UNDERWATER.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW IT ACTUALLY
WORKS?
>> IT'S WAY DOWN AND IT MOVES
SLOWLY IN THE WATER.
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PART THAT
HOLDS THE PLASTIC.
>> Reporter: THE LONG FLOATING
TUBE DRIVEN BY CURRENTS AND THE
WIND WILL FUNNEL PLASTIC INTO
THE MESH.
>> EVERY FEW MONTHS OR SO A
VESSEL WILL COME LIKE A GIANT
GARBAGE TRUCK OF THE OCEAN AND
EMPTY THE SYSTEM AND TAKE THE
PLASTIC BACK TO LAND WHERE IT
COULD THEN BE RECYCLED.
>> Reporter: THEY HOPE TO PUT
THE FIRST ONE TOGETHER BY EARLY
SEPTEMBER.
THEN THEY'LL TOW IT OUT THERE IN
THE PACIFIC OCEAN HALFWAY
BETWEEN HERE AND HAWAII TO THE
AREA KNOWN AS THE GREAT PACIFIC
GARBAGE PATCH.
>> OUR RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT
IT CONTAINS 1.8 TRILLION PIECES
OF PLASTIC, SPREAD OVER AN AREA
TWICE THE SIZE OF TEXAS.
>> Reporter: IT WILL GOBBLE IT
LIKE A GIANT PACMAN.
>> WE HOPE TO HAVE THE PLASTIC
BACK ON SHORE BEFORE THE END OF
THE YEAR.
>> Reporter: BUT SLAN ADMITS
THAT IT'S STILL A BIG "IF."
THE LATEST SURVEY SUGGESTS SOME
SCIENTISTS CONSIDER HIS OCEAN
CLEAN-UP PROJECT A QUICK SONIC
DREAM AND THAT THIS GIANT
PLASTIC REMOVAL SYSTEM COULD BE
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST PIECE OF
MARINE DEBRIS.
>> THERE'S SO MUCH COOL TECH IN
THE WORLD AND IT KIND OF SUCKS
TO BE THE DEBBIE DOWNER ON
THIS...
>> Reporter: OCEANGRAPHERS
BELIEVE THAT THE KEY PROBLEMS
STILL REMAIN.
THE FIRST?
THE VERY CONCEPT IS FLAWED.
IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO WORK.
>> WHEN YOU PUT SOMETHING OUT IN
THE OCEAN THINGS ARE GOING TO
GROW ON IT.
IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT HEAVY AND
IT'S GOING TO DRAG IT DOWN AND
THEN ALL OF THE PLASTIC THAT IS
AT THE SURFACE IS GOING TO JUST
GO OVER IT.
SO IT WON'T BE CAPTURING PLASTIC
ANYMORE.
>> Reporter: SHE ALSO BELIEVED
THAT THE GIANT STRUCTURE COULD
BE DANGEROUS FOR SHIPS AND
ANIMALS.
>> THESE ARE LIKE TINY PLACES
FOR ANIMALS TO LIVE ON.
SO IT ACTUALLY ATTRACTS IT.
SO YOU WILL ATTRACT MORE ANIMALS
AND YOU WILL ACTUALLY BE
ATRANGTINATTRACTING THEM TO INGEST MORE
PLASTIC AND ALSO TO BE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO ENTANGLEMENT AS
WELL.
>> Reporter: THE PROJECT'S
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER SAYS
THAT THE STRUCTURE WILL HAVE
LIGHTS AND RADAR REFLECTORS TO
PREVENT COLLISIONS.
>> WE ARE NOT PIRATES AND WE'RE
WORKING TOGETHER WITH A LOT OF
AUTHORITIES.
>> Reporter: AND TO WITHSTAND
THE EXTREME CONDITIONS OF THE
OCEAN.
>> THE DISCIPLE IS MADE FOR 20
YEARS SURVIVAL AT SEA.
>> Reporter: AS FOR THE
ANIMALS.
SOME CRITICS WORRY THAT THIS
MIGHT HARM WILDLIFE.
WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE?
>> THAT THE SYSTEM MOVES
EXTREMELY SLOWLY.
SO IT MOVES AT ONLY 10
CENTIMETRES PER SECOND.
AND SO, YEAH, REALLY WILDLIFE
SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GO
AROUND IT.
IT WILL BE MUCH SAFER THAN, SAY,
A BOAT GOING THROUGH THE OCEAN.
>> Reporter: IF THE FIRST ONE
WORKS THEY HOPE TO BUILD A
FLOTILLA OF 60 DEVICES.
THE GOAL IS TO CLEAN UP 90% OF
THE PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH BY
2040.
>> WHAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY IS
REALLY JUST THE TIP OF THE
ICEBERG.
IF WE DON'T CLEAN IT UP THEN
OVER THE NEXT FEW DECADES IT'S
GOING TO BE MUCH, MUCH WORSE.
NOT JUST BECAUSE THE IMPACT WILL
BE MUCH LARGER BUT ALSO THE
SMALLER THE PIECES GET THE
HARDER IT IS TO GET IT OUT.
SO WE'D MUCH RATHER CLEAN IT UP
BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.
>> Reporter: SO FAR THEY HAVE
RAISED MORE THAN $30 MILLION IN
DONATIONS AND PRIVATE FUNDING.
SKEPTICS BELIEVE THAT THIS
MASSIVE INVESTMENT REFLECTS OUR
OBSESSION WITH SOLVING THE
WORLD'S WORST ENVIRONMENTAL
PROBLEMS WITH A TECHNOLOGICAL
MAGIC BULLET.
>> IT DOESN'T STOP STUFF COMING
INTO THE OCEAN AND IT DOESN'T
CLOSE THE TAP.
IT'S NOT INSPIRING ANYONE TO
CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOURS AND MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
>> RIGHT NOW THIS PROBLEM IS
VERY FAR AWAY AND IT'S
INVISIBLE.
IF WE BRING THESE VESSELS FULL
WITH PLASTIC BACK INTO PORT...
>> Reporter: SLAN INSISTS THAT
COLLECTING AND DISPLAYING MORE
THAN ONE TRILLION PIECES OF
PLASTIC WILL BE A DRAMATIC
REMINDER TO NOT TOSS ALL OF THAT
TRASH INTO OUR OCEANS IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
KIM BRUNHUBER, CBC NEWS,
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA.
>> Ian: LAST SEPTEMBER A
WILDFIRE RAVAGED WATERTON'S
NATIONAL PARK IN SOUTHERN
ALBERTA, LEAVING ONE OF CANADA'S
NATIONAL TREASURES CHARRED AND
DESOLATE.
THIS PARKS CANADA VIDEO GIVES US
A SOBERING VIEW THE DEVASTATION.
THE FIRE CONSUMED NEARLY 200
SQUARE KILOMETRES OF FOREST AND
WIPED OUT A LOT OF THE PARK
INFRASTRUCTURE.
ABOUT 80% OF THE TRAILS WERE
CLOSED AT THE START OF THE
SEASON BUT THE PARK DOES REMAIN
POPULAR.
STAFF ARE BUSY DOING REPAIRS AND
WORKING TO MAKE THE PARK SAFE
FOR VISITORS THAT.
FIRE CREATED WORK FOR ANOTHER
GROUP OF PEOPLE AND THEY
COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.
THEY'RE RESEARCHERS, KEEN TO
STEAD A TREASURE TROVE OF
ARTIFACTS AND OTHER HISTORIES
LAID BARE.
CBC'S CAROLYN DUNN WENT TO SEE
WHAT THEY FOUND.
>> Reporter: WITH EACH SCRAPE
OF THE TROWEL THERE'S A
POSSIBILITY THAT A PIECE OF A
PUZZLE WILL BE FOUND.
EACH ARTIFACT ADDING TO THE
STORY OF THE BLACKFOOT PEOPLE
WHO USED THIS SITE IN THE LAST
300 YEARS.
AND THE TEAM OF ARCHAEOLOGISTS
CAN ONLY SEE AND EXPLORE IT
BECAUSE OF LAST YEAR'S
DESTRUCTIVE WILDFIRE.
>> IT'S ELIMINATED ALL OF THAT
VEGETATION ON TOP AND, WOW, CAN
WE SEE STUFF.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
IT'S A ONCE-IN IT'S AIT'S A ONCE-IN A LIFE TIME
OPPORTUNITY.
>> Reporter: IT'S REVEALING
TREASURES HIDDEN JUST BELOW THE
SURFACE.
PAINTING A CLEARER PICTURE OF
HOW THE BLACKFOOT PEOPLE LIVED.
FINDS LIKE THESE TRADING BEADS
DOCUMENT THEIR FIRST CONTACT
WITH EUROPEAN FUR TRADERS.
AND THE FIRE ALLOWED THE TEAM TO
GO BACK EVEN FURTHER IN TIME.
IT REVEALED TRAILS USED BY THE
BLACKFOOT PEOPLE UP TO 7,000
YEARS AGO.
>> WE'RE FINDING SO MUCH THAT
WE'RE STARTING TO RE-WRITE WHAT
WE THOUGHT WE KNEW ABOUT
WATERTON HISTORY AND INDIGENOUS
CAMPS AND HISTORY.
>> I GUESS LIKE TO WALK WHERE
YOUR ANCESTORS WALKED, I FEEL
VERY STRONGLY CONNECTED TO ALL
OF THE PREHISTORIC SITES THAT
WE'RE SEEING TODAY.
>> Reporter: AT EVERY
INDIGENOUS SITE ARCHAEOLOGIST
KEVIN BLACKPLUM MAKES AN
OFFERING.
THIS PROFESSIONAL PROJECT IS
INTENSELY PERSONAL.
>> MY FIRST I FOUND IN THIS SITE
AND I WAS YELLING AND SCREAMING.
IT'S COOL TO SEE AND I NEVER
FOUND A PROJECTILE POINT BEFORE
AND TO SEE WHAT THEY HUNTED THE
BISON WITH, IT'S VERY UPLIFTING,
I GUESS.
IT CONNECTED ME A LOT TO THE
LAND AND TO MY ANCESTORS.
>> THIS IS A DEPRESSION RELIEF
CAMP.
>> Reporter: NOT ALL OF THE
SITES ARE INDIGENOUS.
IN 1930s UNEMPLOYED MEN WERE
PUT TO WORK BUILDING A ROAD
THROUGH THE PARK.
THE ARCHAEOLOGISTS ARE FINDING
ROCK FOUNDATIONS OF STRUCTURES
AND THE REMNANTS OF CAMP LIFE.
>> THERE'S MEAT TIPS A TINS AS WELL.
>> Reporter: IT'S ENRICHED BY
FINDS LIKE A NEEDLE CASE AND A
BOY SCOUT BUTTON.
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MORE
ROBUST AND PERMANENT HISTORICAL
RECORDS.
>> WE HAVE MAPPED ALL OF THESE
OUTLINES THREE DIMENSIONALLY AND
THEY CAN BE PLOTTED ON TO MAPS
AND WE'LL VERIFY THAT WITH
AERIAL PHOTOS AS WELL.
AND THEN KIND OF BUILD UP AND
CREATE THE STORY FOR THIS SITE.
>> Reporter: THERE'S A NARROW
WINDOW FOR IT ALL.
>> WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
THE VEGETATION REGROWTH IS
LICKING AT OUR HEELS AS WE'RE
RUNNING AND RECORDING THINGINGS.
BUT, WOW, WHAT A RIDE.
>> Reporter: THE TEAM IS
HOPING TO DIG DEEPER AND TO GO
BACK EVEN FURTHER IN TIME OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.
CAROLYN DUNN, CBC NEWS, WATERTON
NATIONAL PARK.
>> Ian: NEXT UP, PARRY SOUND
STEPS UP IN OUR "MOMENT OF THE
DAY."
>> LOOKING AT WHAT LOOKED TO BE
MAYBE A HUNDRED PEOPLE, IT WAS A
VERY WARM FEELING TO FEEL PART
OF A COMMUNITY WHO GOES TO
(*)
(*)
>> Ian: HERE ARE SOME OF THE
STORIES THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING ON
"THE NATIONAL" THIS WEEK.
TOMORROW WE COULD GAIN INSIGHT
INTO ONE OF THE GREATEST
AVIATION MYSTERIES.
WHAT HAPPENED TO FLIGHT MH-370?
THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT IS
RELEASING ITS FINAL REPORT.
FOUR YEARS AGO THE PLANE
CARRYING 239 PEOPLE DISAPPEARED
FROM RADAR.
THE ONLY TRACES ARE WING
FRAGMENTS THAT WASHED UP ON THE
INDIAN OCEAN COASTLINE.
THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS WILL
BE BRIEFED BEFORE THE REPORT IS
MADE PUBLIC.
>> MR. MANAFORT CAN YOU TALK
ABOUT WHAT THE FILING WAS IN
YOUR CASE YESTERDAY?
>> Ian: ON TUESDAY PAUL
MANAFORT'S FRAUD TRIAL WILL GET
UNDERWAY.
HE'S ACCUSED OF HIDING MORE THAN
$30 MILLION OF INCOME THROUGH
OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS.
THIS IS THE FIRST REAL TREE
RESULTING FROM ROBER ROBERT MUELLER'S
INVESTIGATION BUT THE
PROSECUTORS WON'T DEAL WITH THE
COLLUSION BETWEEN THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA IN THIS CASE
CASE.
>>> THAT IS A 3D GUN.
AS OF WEDNESDAY ANYONE WITH A 3D
PRINTER WILL BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD
AND CREATE ONE.
PLANS FOR THE PLASTIC GUN KNOWN
AS THE LIBERATOR WERE INITIALLY
POSTED ONLINE IN 2013.
THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT
ORDERED THEM REMOVED BECAUSE
THEY COULD BE USED TO MAKE
WEAPONS IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
REVERSED THAT DECISION LAST
MONTH.
THE 3D GUN IS SAID TO BE
UNTRACEABLE AND INVISIBLE TO
METAL DETECTORS.
>>> AS WE TOLD YOU EARLIER IN
THE PROGRAMME, FIRE CREWS ARE
WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK IN
NORTHERN ONTARIO BUT THEY NEED
SUPPORT TOO.
AND THE TOWN OF PARRY SOUND HAS
ANSWERED THE CALL.
THE LOCAL SOBEYS WAS STRUGGLING
TO FILL AN ORDER OF FOOD FOR
FIREFIGHTERS LAST WEEK BUT THEY
DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO
PACK UP SUPPLIES.
SO THEY PUT OUT A NOTICE ON
FACEBOOK HOPING FOR A FEW EXTRA
HANDS.
WELL, AROUND 200 PEOPLE SHOWED
UP.
THAT VOLUNTEER SPIRIT IS OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> MY PARENTS ARE VOLUNTEER
FIREFIGHTERS AND I JUST THINK
THAT IF IT WAS THEM FIGHTING
FIRES I WOULD HOPE THAT PEOPLE
WOULD HELP.
(*)
>> THEY HAD LONG ROWS OF
STATIONS WITH AN ISLAND BETWEEN
THEM.
THIS WAS OUTSIDE BEHIND THE
SOBEY'S STORE.
>> THERE WAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE
RUNNING FOOD BACK AND FORTH.
AND THEN ANOTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR PACKING
THE FOOD.
THERE WAS PASTA AND INSTANT
OATMEAL AND TOILET PAPER AND
SALT, PEPPER, PLASTIC CUTLERY.
>> ONE WOMAN SUGGESTED THAT WE
WRITE LETTERS AND PUT THEM IN
THE BOXES.
>> THEY PASSED OUT LITTLE
COLOURED CARDS AND PENS SO THAT
WE'RE ABLE TO SCRAWL A LITTLE
NOTE QUICKLY AND PUT IT IN OUR
BOX.
>> I HAVE LEARNED OVER THE PAST
FEW YEARS THAT PARRY SOUND
REALLY STEPS UP AND HELPS OUT.
>> IT WAS A VERY WARM FEELING TO
FEEL PART OF A COMMUNITY WHO
GOES TO HELP.
>> MY HOUSE IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO
HELP A FAMILY DISPLACED FROM THE
FIRE BUT I CAN DEFINITELY SPEND
A SATURDAY AFTERNOON HELPING TO
MAKE BOXES FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS.
>> Ian: IF YOU'RE A CANADIAN OF
A CERTAIN AGE YOU GROW UP
KNOWING PARRY SOUND FOR ONE
THING, BOB VIEWER'S BIRTHPLACE
SO IT'S NICE FOR A NIGHT IN 2018
THAT WE KNOW IT FOR SOMETHING
ELSE.
THEY ONLY HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER
THEY PUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OUT ON
FACEBOOK LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS,
THEY ENDED UP WITH TOO MANY.
THEY THOUGHT THAT MAY MAY GET 40
OR SO AND AS WE HEARD THEY HAD
ABOUT 20.
200.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
JULY 29th.
GOODNIGHT.
