>> Rosemary: ON THE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, INTENSE TALKS ARE
UNDERWAY IN WASHINGTON.
NEGOTIATORS GET READY TO WORK
THROUGH THE NIGHT.
THE PRIME MINISTER SOUNDED
OPTIMISTIC.
SO DOES THE U.S. PRESIDENT.
WITH A FRIDAY DEADLINE LOOMING,
AND OBSTACLES REMAINING, CAN
THEY MAKE A DEAL?
WE WILL GO INSIDE THE
NEGOTIATIONS, THE STAKES AND
WHAT POSSIBLE CHANGES WHEN
SHOPPING ONLINE.
>> THE VETERAN AFFAIRS MINISTER
SAID WHY A MURDERER IS RECEIVING
PTSD TREATMENT PAID BY THE
DEPARTMENT.
>>> WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
OPIOID CRISIS.
BRITISH COLUMBIA IS TAKING BIG
PHARMA TO COURT.
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> Rosemary: IT IS A RACE
AGAINST THE CLOCK IN WASHINGTON
TONIGHT, THE NEGOTIATORS FROM
CANADA, THE U.S. ARE TRYING TO
DO WHAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO DO FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.
HAMMER OUT A NAFTA DEAL.
MANY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES HAVE NOT
BEEN SORTED OUT.
AND SERIOUS STICKING POINTS
REMAIN.
STILL, JUSTIN TRUDEAU SEEMED
POSITIVE TODAY.
THERE WAS A SENSE OF OPTIMISM
WAS EVEN ECHOED BY DONALD TRUMP.
>> Reporter: DONALD TRUMP MADE
THE ANNOUNCEMENT WITH
UNPREDICTABILITY.
HE EMBRACED A SOFTER TONE WITH
TRADE ON CANADA.
IT IS WELCOMED BY NAFTA
NEGOTIATORS.
>> WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP.
WE NEGOTIATED LATE INTO THE
EVENING.
THEY ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE NEGOTIATING RIGHT NOW.
THEY WANT TO BE PART OF THE
DEAL.
WE GAVE THEM TO FRIDAY.
>> Reporter: THE CANADIANS ARE
NOT ACTUALLY AT THE WHITE HOUSE
TODAY.
BUT HIGH LEVEL DISCUSSIONS
APPEAR TO BE PROGRESSING.
THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER
SAID NEGOTIATORS ARE EXPECTED TO
TALK OVERNIGHT IF NECESSARY.
>> THE PARTIES ARE COMING
TOGETHER ON THIS STAGE OF THE
NEGOTIATION.
>> Reporter: A SENIOR SOURCE
TOLD CBC NEWS, THERE IS A
COMMITMENT TO WRAP UP
NEGOTIATIONS, THE TALKS ARE NOT
QUITE THERE YET.
THE MAIN CONCERN FOR CANADA IS
THE U.S. DEMAND TO THE DISPUTE
SETTLEMENT SYSTEM FOR WHAT IS
KNOWN AS CHAPTER 19.
CANADA IS PREPARED TO LET
AMERICAN FARMERS SELL MORE
PRODUCTS NORTH OF THE BORDER IF
AMERICANS COMPROMISE.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: NO NAFTA DEAL IS BETTER
THAN A BAD NAFTA DEAL.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
WOULD NOT GO SPECIFIC IN PUBLIC.
HE SEEMED OPTIMISTIC.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: THERE IS A POSSIBILITY
OF GETTING TO A GOOD DEAL FOR
CANADA BY FRIDAY.
WE ARE STANDING FIRM ON A RANGE
OF THINGS.
>> Reporter: JUSTIN TRUDEAU WILL
UPDATE CANADIAN PREMIERS
TOMORROW OF THE TALKS IN A
CONFERENCE CALL.
CHRYSTIA FREELAND WILL TOO.
AFTER A YEAR OF NEGOTIATIONS, IT
APPEARS ALL SIDES MAY BE READY
TO FINALLY GET THROUGH.
>> FOR DONALD TRUMP, THERE HAS
TO BE A WAY FOR HIM TO SAY I
WON.
FOR US TO BE ACCESSIBLE, WE HAVE
TO SAY...
IF WE REACH THE SWEET SPOT, IT
WILL BE DONE BY FRIDAY.
>> Rosemary: KATIE, CANADA HAS
BEEN AWAY FROM THE TABLE FOR
FIVE WEEKS.
THEY SAT DOWN YESTERDAY.
IS THERE SOMETHING POSSIBLE
HERE?
>> Reporter: TRUMP CAN POINT TO
IMPROVED LABOUR STANDARDS IN
MEXICO AS A WIN.
IF CANADA GIVES AMERICAN FARMERS
MORE ACCESS TO THE DAIRY MARKET,
THAT IS A WIN FOR U.S.
IF CAN GET THE SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
INTACT.
>> Rosemary: THERE WILL BE A
PRIVATE NAFTA BRIEFING TOMORROW.
WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT?
>> Reporter: IT IS IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE
WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THE
PREMIERS BRIEFING SUGGESTING IT
MAY HAVE SOMETHING POSITIVE TO
DISCUSS PRIVATELY.
THAT IS A SUBTLE HINT WE PICKED
UP ON.
THE HIGH-LEVEL TALKS BETWEEN
CHRYSTIA FREELAND AND THE
AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS, THEY ARE
EXPECTED TO GO THROUGH TO
TOMORROW.
>> Rosemary: OKAY.
WE WILL BE THERE.
>>> THE STIFF PENALTIES BY THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO JANUARY.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: A U.S. TRADE TRIBUNAL
OVERTURNED THAT DECISION AND
SAID NO.
WE SHOULDN'T BE IMPOSING TARIFFS
ON CANADIAN FORESTRY WORKERS.
THIS IS REALLY GOOD NEWS.
>> Rosemary: THE TARIFFS ARE UP
TO 32% CLAIMING THE CANADIAN
PAPER PRODUCTS HURT THE AMERICAN
INDUSTRY.
IT IS PROOF THAT CANADA NEEDS TO
PRESERVE THE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT.
WE HAVE BEEN HEARING A LOT ABOUT
IT.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHY IS IT
SUCH A BIG STICKING POINT?
IT IS KNOWN AS CHAPTER 19 OF
NAFTA.
IT IS MEANT TO SOLVE DISPUTES
BETWEEN TRADING PARTNERS.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WANTS
CANADA IN LINE WITH THEM.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO ONE COUNTRY
AND NOT THE OTHER?
>> TRADE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT WITH
OUR TRADING PARTNER.
>> Rosemary: IF THE UNITED
STATES WILL IMPOSE DUTIES ON A
CANADIAN PRODUCT, CANADA CAN
PUSH BACK.
AND TURN TO THE PANEL OF
ARBITRATORS TO ASSESS IF IT IS
LEGAL.
INSTEAD OF RELYING ON AMERICAN
COURTS TO MAKE DECISIONS.
CANADA HAS TURNED TO CHAPTER 19
MANY TIMES AND WON.
RECENTLY ABOUT SOFT WOOD LUMBER.
THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IS A
THREAT TO THEIR SOVEREIGNTY,
INCLUDING THE U.S. TRADE
REPRESENTATIVE.
>> WHY SHOULD A FOREIGN NATIONAL
BE ABLE TO COME INTO MY CAMP.
IN THE AMERICAN COURT SYSTEM AND
HAVE
MORE RIGHTS THAN AMERICANS HAVE.
>> Rosemary: GETTING RID OF A
MEASURE, COULD MEAN
COUNTER DUTIES.
A TRADE WAR FOLLOWS.
AT LEAST ONE AMERICAN POINTS OUT
THAT CHAPTER 19 MIGHT WORK.
BECAUSE
CANADA, U.S. HAS TAKEN LESS
TRADE ACTION AGAINST ONE ANOTHER
THAN OTHERS.
>>> THERE IS ANOTHER DISPUTE.
YOU MAY NOT KNOW.
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM VALUE OF
SHOPPING ONLINE.
THE DUTY AND TAXES.
AND THAT NUMBER HAS ACTUALLY
BEEN SINCE 1995.
THE PROS AND CONS.
>> REPORTER: AT THE SHIPPING
WAREHOUSE ACROSS THE CANADA,
U.S. BORDER...
>> ANOTHER BICYCLE.
>> Reporter: HE
PACKAGES FOR THOUSANDS OF
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS WHO SHOP
ONLINE, AND SHIP TO THE U.S.
>> IN A LOT OF CASES, IT IS MADE
IN THE UNITED STATES OR IN
MEXICO, THE SAVINGS IS
SIGNIFICANT.
>> REPORTER: THAT IS TO SHOP
SUCCESSFULLY
ACROSS THE BORDER.
>> PEOPLE LIVING IN CANADA AND
COMING TO THE UNITED STATES AND
SMUGGLING THINGS BACK INTO
CANADA BECAUSE THE TARIFFS ARE
SO MASSIVE.
WE ARE TREATED HORRIBLY.
>> REPORTER: IT COULD GET A LOT
EASIER FOR CONSUMERS IF THERE IS
A CHANGE TO CANADA'S THRESHOLD.
ALLOWING MORE FROM ONLINE SITES
WITHOUT PAYING DUTIES.
MEXICO RAISED THE LIMITS.
WASHINGTON IS PUSHING CANADA TO
DO THE SAME.
MANY CANADIANS THINK A $20 LIMIT
IS OUT OF DATE.
>> I THINK IT IS TIME THAT WEAC
FONDLING THAT WE ARE IN A
GLOBAL ECONOMY AND CANADIANS
CONSUMERS NEED TO BE IN THE
GLOBAL ECONOMY.
>> REPORTER: FOR MANY RETAILERS,
RAISING THE MINIMUM LEVEL IS A
THREAT.
>> IT WILL HURT.
IT DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE
TO GIVE AN ADVANTAGE TO A U.S.
RETAILER WHEN CANADIAN RETAILERS
ARE INVESTING IN BRICKS AND
MORTAR AND ONLINE BUSINESSES
HERE.
>> REPORTER: HE SAID JOBS ARE AT
STAKE.
THE TRADE ANALYSTS SAID RAISING
THE LIMIT COULD BE A CONCESSION
FOR CANADA.
GIVING IT ONE MORE CHIP TO PLAY
AT THE BARGAINING TABLE.
>> Andrew: HERE IS WHAT ELSE WE
ARE
WORKING ON TONIGHT.
OUTRAGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AFTER
CBC REPORTED THE GOVERNMENT IS
PAYING FOR A CONVICTED KILLER'S
PTSD TREATMENT.
THE MINISTER OF VETERAN AFFAIRS
WEIGHS IN.
>> ROSEMARY: LEGAL POT.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR KIDS ARE NOT
SUFFERING FROM SIDE EFFECTS.
>> ANDREW: A STAND AGAINST
OPIOIDS AND THE COMPANIES
PUSHING THEM.
THE OPIOID CRISIS ACROSS NORTH
AMERICA IS NOW BEYOND SEVERE.
AS B.C. WELL KNOWS.
THE COST HAS BEEN ASTRONOMICAL.
DOZENS OF U.S. STATES HAVE SUED
ONE OF THE MAJOR OPIOID MAKERS
TO CLAW THE COSTS BACK.
TODAY, BRITISH COLUMBIA TOOK
LEGAL AIM AT MORE THAN 40
COMPANIES IT WANTS TO HOLD
RESPONSIBLE.
>> THIS IS A LONG OVERDUE ACTION
FOR GOVERNMENT TO TAKE.
>> REPORTER: THE FIRST IN
CANADA.
A PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TAKING
THE MAKERS OF OPIOIDS TO COURT.
>> PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES MUST
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR ROLE AND PUT THE LIVES OF
PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT.
>> Reporter: ADDICTION TREATMENT
TO EMERGENCY RESPONSE, THE COST
ON THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ARE
SUBSTANTIAL.
>> THE FINANCIAL COSTS INCURRED
BY BRITISH COLUMBIA,
AS A RESULT OF THE ACTIONS OF
THE FIRMS.
THE COSTS ARE RISING EVERY DAY.
>> REPORTER: B.C. IS BASING THE
CASE ON A COURT SETTLEMENT IN
WEST VIRGINIA.
IN 2007.
THE DRUG MANUFACTURER PURDUE
ADMITTED TO MISS BRANDING
OXYCONTIN.
WITH INTENT TO DISFRAUD OR
MISLEAD.
THE PROVINCE SAID THE SUPREME
COURT CERTIFIED THE CLASS
ACTION, THEY WILL BE ASKING
OTHER PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES
TO JOIN IN THE FIGHT.
THEY LIKELY WILL.
OTHERS HAVE VOICED INTEREST IN
TAKING THE PHARMACEUTICAL
INDUSTRY TO COURT OVER THE
OPIOID CRISIS.
IN A STATEMENT TODAY, PURDUE
CANADA,
ONE OF THE 40S COMPANY NAMED IN
THE SUIT, SAID IT HAS BEEN
MARKETING THE PRODUCTS WITH
HEALTH CANADA STANDARDS.
THE CRITICS SAID THE MOVE WILL
DO LITTLE TO CURB THE CRISIS.
>> IT'S A SIDESHOW, THE MAIN
EVENT IS TOXIC ILLEGAL DRUG
MARKET KILLING FOUR BRITISH
COLUMBIAIANS A DAY.
AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM THAT
NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
>> Reporter: FOR THE PARENTS,
THE
REALITY OF ADDICTION IS TOO
REAL.
THEIR SON, THE 16-YEAR-OLD WAS
INJURED IN SPORTS,
AND REQUIRED MULTIPLE SURGERIES.
WHEN GIVEN PRESCRIPTIONS TO DEAL
WITH THE PAIN...
>> WE BELIEVE THAT IS THE POINT
WHERE HE BECAME DEPENDENT ON
OPIOIDS.
>> REPORTER: WHEN THE DOSE WAS
CUT BACK, HE TURNED TO THE
STREETS FOR DRUGS.
AND DIED FROM A FENTANYL
OVERDOSE THIS PAST APRIL.
>> A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
IS OVERDUE.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
IT IS URGENT.
IT IS A STEP.
>> REPORTER: ONE STEP, IN B.C.'S
BATTLE AGAINST THE OPIOID
CRISIS.
>> ANDREW: HOW LONG MIGHT THIS
BATTLE BE?
WELL,
CONSIDERING THE LONG DRAWN OUT
FIGHT, IT IS LOCKED WITH ANOTHER
POWERFUL INDUSTRY.
THIS COULD BE A CASE OF HURRY UP
AND WAIT.
B.C. SUED TOBACCO COMPANIES FOR
DAMAGES BACK IN 1998.
THE FIRST CANADIAN PROVINCE TO
DO SO.
20 YEARS LATER, THEY ARE STILL
GOING IN CIRCLES.
THE COMPANIES DRAGGED IT OUT BY
LAUNCHING A CONSTITUTIONAL
CHALLENGE ARGUING THAT THE
PARENT COMPANY SHOULD BE
EXCLUDED OVER LOSSES AND SEEKING
ACCESS TO DATA BASES CONTAINING
ON EVERY PERSON IN B.C. WHO
RECEIVED HEALTH CARE BENEFITS.
ALL WAS REJECTED.
THE RESULT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
YOU CAN'T LOSE IF THE CASE NEVER
ENDS.
STILL,
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BELIEVES
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
>> WE TOOK THE LEARNING FROM THE
TOBACCO LITIGATION.
THEY ARE SIGNIFICANT.
AND APPLIED THEM.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO.
>> ANDREW: THE LEGALIZATION OF
ANOTHER DRUG IS FAST
APPROACHING.
COME OCTOBER 17TH, THE CANADIANS
ARE FREE TO USE RECREATIONAL
CANNABIS.
THERE ARE MANY TRICKY ISSUES TO
SORT OUT.
WE LOOK AT A BIG ONE.
IT IS ABOUT AS CLOSE
TO HOME AS YOU CAN GET.
>> WALKING TO TOKYO SMOKE FOR
THE COFFEE.
>> IT IS NOT YET LEGAL.
>> I HAVE A ONE AND A
HALF-YEAR-OLD WHO IS EXPLORING
AND GETTING INTO THINGS.
>> THE STORE SELLS THE BAG.
>> THERE IS NO WAY FOR FINGERS
TO GET INTO THIS.
>> Reporter: ELSEWHERE IN
ONTARIO, LITTLE
FINGERS ARE GETTING INTO STASHES
AND IS CAUSING PROBLEMS.
>> SHE IS WITH POISON CONTROL
AND SAID ONE PRODUCT IS COMING
UP.
>> EDIBLES ARE A CONCERN FOR US.
THEY ARE IN THE FORM OF CANDIES
AND GUMIES AND BROWNIES AND THAT
IS ENTICING TO ANYBODY.
CERTAINLY TO A YOUNG CHILD WHO
DOESN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
>> REPORTER: THE TEENS SHOULD
PERHAPS
KNOW BETTER.
HEALTH CANADA SAID CANNABIS USE
IN TEENS CAN RESULT IN MENTAL
ILLNESS AND POSSIBLE ADDICTION
LATER IN LIFE.
THE DOCTOR SAID
PARENTS NEED TO START HAVING
OPEN-ENDED NON-JUDGMENTAL TALKS
WITH THEIR KIDS.
>> ONE OF THE PITFALLS THAT
HAPPENS WITH PARENTS IS THAT
THEY OFTEN GO INTO THE
CONVERSATION WANTING
TO TELL YOUR YOUNG PERSON ALL OF
THE BAD THINGS ABOUT WHATEVER
THE BEHAVIOUR IT IS.
WHETHER IT IS CANNABIS USE...
>> REPORTER: SHE SAID THAT JUST
DOESN'T WORK.
SHE HAS
THIS IS THE ADVICE FOR PARENTS.
>> TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT
ALCOHOL AND I THINK PROVIDING
THEM WITH THE INFORMATION AROUND
CANNABIS, AROUND THE NEGATIVES,
THE POSITIVES.
>> Reporter: IF THAT DOESN'T
WORK...
>> ZIP IT UP AND LOCK IT.
IT IS SAFE.
>> REPORTER: THERE IS ALWAYS THE
LOCK AND KEY.
TO KEEP THE FINGERS OUT OF THE
PARENT'S STASH AND HOPEFULLY OUT
OF EMERGENCY ROOMS.
>> ANDREW: NOW, BACK WHEN THE
PLAN TO LEGALIZE WAS FIRST
ANNOUNCED.
THERE WAS CONCERN OVER STATE AND
-- SAFETY AND EDUCATION,
ESPECIALLY FROM PARENTS.
THE COMMUNICATION IS KEY.
AS THE DOCTOR POINTED OUT.
SOMETHING NOVA SCOTIA SEEMS TO
HAVE TAKEN TO HEART WITH THE
RELEASE OF A SPECIAL KIT.
TO HELP PARENTS THROUGH THE
TRANSITION.
THE KIT HAS THE HEALTH RISKS AND
LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF MISUSING
WEED.
IT HAS PAGE AFTER PAGE OF ADVICE
FOR PARENTS ON
HOW TO TALK TO KIDS.
THERE ARE STRONG CAUTIONS IN IT.
WHAT IS STRIKING IS THE TONE.
IT IS INFORMATIVE WITHOUT
BEING -- THE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN,
THERE ARE EVEN FUNNY ONES.
>> WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT POT?
HAVE YOU TRIED IT?
>> Andrew: IT FITS INTO THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TONE TOO.
>> STORE CANNABIS SECURELY AND
AWAY FROM KIDS.
>> Rosemary: A STORY WE TOLD YOU
ABOUT LAST NIGHT IS GETTING A
LOT OF REACTION.
A MAN WHO GOT PTSD AFTER
MURDERING A WOMAN IS GETTING
TREATMENT PAID BY VETERANS
AFFAIRS.
HE NEVER SERVED A DAY IN THE
MILITARY.
THERE IS GROWING ANGER.
THE OFFICIALS AT VETERANS
AFFAIRS ARE DEFENDING THE
POLICY.
>> WITH THE MEDALS ON THE WALL
AND THE YEARS OF SERVICE LONG
BEHIND HIM, THE VETERAN, A PTSD
SURVIVOR IS ANGRY.
>> HOW THE HECK DOES SOMEONE
THAT JUST GOT CONVICTED OF
MURDER HAS VETERANS AFFAIRS
BENEFITS?
>> REPORTER: HE JUST HAD TO ASK
VETERANS AFFAIRS WHY.
WHY DOES GARNIER WHO KILLED AN
OFF DUTY POLICE OFFICER GET TO
HAVE VETERANS AFFAIRS PAY FOR
TREATMENT FOR PTSD HE ACQUIRED
AS A RESULT OF COMMITTING THE
MURDER.
JUST BECAUSE HIS FATHER IS A
VETERAN.
HE WAITS.
MEANWHILE THE TOP PSYCH OL --
PSYCHOLOGIST IS
DOING HER BEST TO EXPLAIN AND
DEFEND THE POLICY TO THE MEDIA.
NEVER COMMENTING ON THE
SPECIFICS OF THE CASE.
>> WE PROVIDE CARE TO FAMILY
MEMBERS, TO SPOUSES, WHEN WE
KNOW IT IS IN THE BENEFIT OF THE
VETERAN.
>> REPORTER: HE WAITS, RIDEOUT
QUESTIONS.
HE ASKS HIMSELF.
PRISONS HAVE PSYCHIATRISTS, DO
THEY REALLY NEED VETERAN FUNDING
AT ALL?
VETERANS AFFAIRS SAID IT DIDN'T
ASK FOR HELP FOR THE FAMILY,
THEY TOO COULD GET IT.
IN THE COURSE OF THE CALL, HE
LEARNS FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT
HIS FAMILY HAS ALSO BEEN
ELIGIBLE FOR THE SAME FUNDING
GARNIER IS RECEIVING.
>> A BENEFIT THAT IS GIVEN TO
A CONVICTED MURDERER, IS NOW
OPENING UP OPPORTUNITIES THAT I
NEVER USED FOR MY INITIAL
DIAGNOSIS.
HERE IT IS 10 YEARS LATER.
>> I AM VERY SORRY THAT THIS WAS
NOT MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU.
>> Reporter: THE ANXIOUS
AROUND -- ANGST AROUND THE WHOLE
SITUATION.
>> ROSEMARY: THE MINISTER OF
VETERANS AFFAIRS SAID THAT EVEN
IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, MORE
VETERANS AND THE FAMILIES HAVE
BEEN CONNECTED WITH MENTAL
HEALTH SUPPORT.
HE SAID HE
UNDERSTANDS PEOPLE'S
FRUSTRATION.
>> I THINK I REACTED LIKE MOST
CANADIANS REACTED.
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?
WE ARE GOING TO LOOK HOW THE
DECISIONS ARE MADE.
>> ANDREW: I WILL GET YOU UP TO
SPEED IN OTHER STORIES.
STARTING IN MONTREAL, A POWERFUL
STORM IS HAMMERING THE CITY.
THE CREWS ARE CLEANING UP AFTER
THE SERIOUS WEATHER.
CHECK OUT THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD.
THE WIND SO POWERFUL.
IT PEELED THE ROOF OFF THE
BUILDING.
ELSEWHERE, TREES WERE TOPPLED
AND THE POWER LINES DOWN.
MORE THAN
100,000 HOMES AND BUSINESSES AT
ONE POINT WERE IN THE DARK.
THEY ARE MAKING PROGRESS TO GET
POWER BACK ON-LINE.
IN B.C., A SOBERING MILESTONE,
WILDFIRES HAVE CONSUMED SO MUCH
OF THE PROVINCE THAT THIS IS THE
WORST SEASON ON RECORD.
SO FAR, NEARLY 13,000 SQUARE
KILOMETRES HAVE BEEN SCORCHED.
DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE GREATER
TORONTO AREA.
THE SITUATION IS SO VOLATILE.
TODAY,
THE OFFICIALS EXTENDED THE STATE
OF EMERGENCY.

FAMILIAR WITH THE KIND OF
VIOLENCE AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT

FEELING THE HEAT.
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF HOW HOT IT
IS IN NEW YORK.
WHY THE TOURNAMENT IS CALLED
SEXIST.

INTERNATIONAL WATERS.
ALL OVER SCALLOPS.

FISHERMEN SURROUNDED THE BRITISH
VESSELS AND TOOK OUT THEIR
ANGER.
A CLASH ON THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.

PEOPLE GETTING INJURED.
POSSIBLY EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF
THE ACTIONS OF THE FRENCH
FISHERMEN.

DANGER.
AS FOR THAT SMALL FRENCH VESSEL

FURTHER UP THE HIGHWAY, HE SAID
HE WAS CONFRONTED AGAIN.
THE OTHER DRIVER REPORTEDLY GOT

BRAKES FORCING HIM TO STOP.
HE SAID HE EVENTUALLY GOT OUT OF

THAT'S WHEN THE OTHER DRIVER
THEN SPED UP
SOMEHOW HE WAS NOT HURT.
AFTER ALL THAT.
THE POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING.

ANOTHER TOUGH ONE.
>>> FOOD WASTE IS A BIG PROBLEM
AROUND
THE WORLD.
1.3 BILLION TONS OF IT.
THAT IS WHAT WE THROW OUT EACH
YEAR.
IN CANADA, THE AVERAGE PERSON
TOSSES ABOUT 170 KILOGRAMS OF
FOOD ANNUALLY.
IT IS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

EFFICIENT.
SO WE CREATED SOMETHING.
IT IS CALLED FOOD RESCUE.
A WEB PAGE.
>> Reporter: SMALLER DONORS AND
THOSE IN NEED.
A GREAT IDEA, BUT
STILL, AS A SOCIETY, WE TOSS FAR
TOO MUCH FOOD.
THAT IS WHAT LEADS TO GLOBAL
WARMING.
ROTTING FOOD CREATES METHANE.
WORSE THAN CARBON DIOXIDE.
THAT'S WHAT INSPIRED THIS
COMPANY.

IT IS TIME TO GET ONBOARD WHAT
THEY CALL A GLOBAL FOOD WASTE
REVOLUTION.

OF THE GAME WHEN IT COMES TO
LEGISLATION AROUND FOOD WASTE.
IN 2016, FRANCE BECAME THE FIRST
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO BAN

TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN
TO ANY OTHER CHILDREN.
>> Rosemary: IT DOES NOT
REPRESENT THE WHOLE PICTURE.
IN SOME COMMUNITIES, GUN
VIOLENCE IS ALMOST A DAILY
OCCURRENCE.
FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE HOMES
AND MANY PLACES IN BETWEEN.
SPEAKING TO STUDENTS.
>> Reporter: THE HOME OF THE
AMERICAN GUN CONTROL DEBATE.
THIS IS HOME TO MORE CARRIERS
THAN -- ALMOST ONE A DAY.
AND SO AS AMERICANS TALK ABOUT
GUN CONTROL, HOW TO PROTECT THE
YOUNG PEOPLE...
>> I WANT TO READ ABOUT CONTROL.
>> Reporter: THE STUDENTS WHO
STRUGGLE IN OTHER SCHOOLS COME.
>> Reporter: SPARKING A MARCH ON
WASHINGTON.
>> HOW MANY KIDS IN THIS SCHOOL
HAVE BEEN SHOT AND KILLED IN THE
LAST YEARS.
>> 8.
>> 8?
>> WE LOST 8 STUDENTS TO GUN
VIOLENCE.
>> YOU DON'T IMAGINE THAT IT IS
PART OF YOUR JOB.
BUT IT IS.
>> Reporter: TO BE CLEAR, NONE
OF THE 8 STUDENTS WERE KILLED ON
SCHOOL PROPERTY.
>> LET'S GO, WAIT IN THE
CONFERENCE ROOM.
LET'S GO.
>> Reporter: THEY GATHER FOR
CLASS.
ANOTHER STUDENT FROM THE SCHOOL
HAS BEEN SHOT AND WOUNDED.
FRUSTRATION.
>> HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW SOMEBODY
WHO HAS BEEN SHOT.
RAISE YOUR HAND.
NO ONE IS CALLING FOR TOUGHER
GUN LAWS.
>> YOU DIDN'T SAY GOOD-BYE.
>> PREDOMINANTLY BLACK...
PREDOMINANTLY WHITE...
>> IT IS A DIFFERENT CITY.
>> Reporter: HE HAD BEEN SHOT
BEFORE SCHOOL TWO DAYS EARLIER.
IT BARELY HIT THE NEWS.
>> PEOPLE GET KILLED IN
DAYLIGHT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN
ANYTHING.
ANY GANG VIOLENCE, ANY DRUGS TO
GET KILLED.
>> FUNDING!
THAT IS PART OF THE CULTURE THAT
HAS BEEN ACCEPTED.
>> Reporter: THE CULTURE OF
VIOLENCE.
HE HIMSELF GREW UP IN AND OUT OF
JAIL IN HIS TEENS, HE TURNED HIS
LIFE AROUND.
NOW, HE WANTS TO CHANGE
BALTIMORE.
MANY SAY IT CANNOT BE DONE.
>> KILLED BY THE HANDS OF
ANOTHER YOUNG BLACK MAN, THAT IS
NOT NORMAL.
I REFUSE TO SAY THAT IS NORMAL.
THAT IS NOT NORMAL.
>> RAISE YOUR HAND.
>> Reporter: HIS RESPONSE ABOUT
THE GUN PROBLEM IS FIXABLE FROM
THE BOTTOM UP.
>> ONE, TWO.
>> Reporter: HE STARTED A
PROGRAM AIMED TO HELP STEER
CLEAR OF VIOLENCE.
SO MANY DEATHS WITHIN THE BLACK
COMMUNITY.
HE TEACHES DISCIPLINE.
RESPECT.
TURNING KIDS INTO BETTER PEOPLE
WILL DO MORE THAN PROTESTING.
>> HEALTH, EDUCATION.
MENTAL HEALTH.
RECREATION.
IF WE ARE NOT DOING THIS, WE ARE
DEMANDING THAT THINGS CHANGE
WITHOUT THE INGREDIENTS OF THE
CHANGE, I THINK THAT IS JUST --
I THINK THAT IS THE ACTION OF
LOGIC.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO WRONG
AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE DOING
RIGHT.
PEOPLE NOT DYING.
THE PROBLEM IS HOMICIDES IN THE
BLACK COMMUNITY, THIS CHANGES
NOTHING.
>> Reporter: AS IT STANDS, THE
SHOOTING HERE EFFECTIVELY NEVER
STOP.
YET ANOTHER FAMILY STUNNED BY
GUN VIOLENCE.
>> HE WAS SHOT LAST YEAR, ONE
DAY AFTER SCHOOL.
HE SAID GUNS ARE SIMPLY A FACTOR
IN HIS WORLD.
HE IS 14 YEARS OLD.
>> GUN VIOLENCE.
IT IS A BIG PROBLEM.
>> GUN VIOLENCE.
>> RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TO MOVE.
>> Reporter: HIS OWN SON WAS
SHOT DEAD IN 2016.
THAT'S HIM ON THE PENDANT.
ALL THE ANTI-GUN DEMONSTRATIONS,
IT IS MOSTLY PEOPLE FROM A
DIFFERENT AMERICA.
WHY THE GUN PROBLEM IS NOT
GETTING UNIVERSAL ATTENTION.
>> YOU CAN'T STAND UP FOR THE
PROBLEM WITHOUT SAYING YOU ARE
AN ANGRY BLACK MAN.
THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.
>> Reporter: WHAT IS THE WAY
FORWARD IN THE CITY WITH SO MANY
GUN DEATHS WEEK AFTER WEEK?
>> THIS -- IF THE PEOPLE AND THE
CITY DO NOT GET INVOLVED, THE
VIOLENCE WILL NOT STOP.
>> Reporter: CBC NEWS.
BALTIMORE.
>> Rosemary: TO PUT THE ANXIETY
INTO CONTEXT.
11, IS THE NUMBER OF BALTIMORE
HOMICIDES.
THERE ARE CALLS FOR A
CEASE-FIRE.
>> Andrew: STILL AHEAD ON THE
NATIONAL.
A SHIRT WAS ON BACKWARDS, SO SHE
CHANGED IT, SHE DID NOT EXPECT
WAS TO GET A WARNING.
>> I WILL CHANGE RIGHT HERE.
>> Andrew: IT'S THE DOG DAYS OF
SUMMER AND IN NEW YORK WHERE THE
U.S. OPEN IS TAKING PLACE,
TEMPERATURES ARE SCORCHING AND
THE HUMIDITY, OVERBEARING.
MANY OF THE MALE PLAYERS HAVE
BEEN GOING SHIRTLESS BETWEEN
SETS TO STAY COOL, BUT WHEN A
FEMALE PLAYER BRIEFLY TOOK OFF
HER TOP YESTERDAY, SHE WAS TOLD
SHE WAS BREAKING THE RULES.
IT PROMPTED AN APOLOGY TODAY
FROM TOURNAMENT ORGANISERS, WHO
WERE NO DOUBT, FEELING THE HEAT
OVER ALLEGATIONS OF A SEXIST
DOUBLE STANDARD.
THAT'S OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> JUST REALISED.
LET'S CHANGE RIGHT HERE.
>> Reporter: SO THE FRENCH
PLAYER REALISED THAT HER SHIRT
WAS ON BACKWARDS.
SHE HAD A SPORTS BRA ON
UNDERNEATH, SO SHE TOOK OFF HER
TOP AND PUT IT ON THE RIGHT WAY.
RIGHT AFTER, THE CHAIR UMPIRE
GAVE HER A WARNING.
>> Andrew: WHAT WAS THE ISSUE?
ACCORDING TO THE GRAND SLAM RULE
BOOK, WOMEN SHOULD ONLY CHANGE
THEIR ATTIRE IN THE NEAREST
AVAILABLE LOCKER ROOM.
CRITICS ON-LINE, LIKE THE MOTHER
OF ANDY MURRAY, WERE QUICK TO
POINT OUT THAT MALE PLAYERS TAKE
THEIR SHIRTS OFF ALL THE TIME.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC TOOK HIS OFF TO
COOL OFF.
THEY SAID THEY HAVE CLARIFIED
THEIR POLICY, NOTING THAT ALL
PLAYERS CAN CHANGE THEIR SHIRTS
WHEN SITTING IN THE PLAYER
CHAIR.
OF COURSE, THE BIGGER PICTURE
HERE IS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST
MISSTEP OF ITS KIND.
SERENA WILLIAMS WHEN SHE CAME
BACK FROM MATERNITY LEAVE, THERE
WAS THE CONTROVERSY AROUND HER
RANKING AND HOW IT AFFECTED HER
SEEDING IN TOURNAMENTS, PEOPLE
SAYING THAT SHE WAS PUNISHED FOR
GOING ON MAT LEAVE.
HER CAT SUIT, TENNIS OFFICIALS
WANTED TO BAN THAT.
>> Rosemary: I HAVE MANY THINGS
TO SAY ABOUT THIS, PROBABLY
LONGER THAN WE HAVE FOR THIS
EXACT MOMENT TONIGHT, BUT I WILL
USE BILLIE JEAN KING'S RESPONSE,
OF COURSE, TENNIS ICON.
SHE SAID, THE POLICING OF
WOMEN'S BODIES MUST END.
IT'S ABOUT TENNIS, NOT WHAT
THEY'RE WEARING.
I'M DONE NOW.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR AUGUST
29.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
