CANADIANS JUST ONE WORD SUMMED
UP THE DAY PERFECTLY -- COLD.
WE'LL GET RIGHT TO THE CENTRE OF
THE POLAR VORTEX.
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>> Andrew: WHEN SIMPLY GOING
OUTSIDE BECOMES A HEALTH HAZARD,
CALLING IT A DEEP FREEZE IS NO
EXAGGERATION.
DANGEROUSLY COLD TEMPERATURES
HAVE SET IN ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA, FROM THE NORTH TO THE
PRAIRIES AND ACROSS CENTRAL
CANADA.
KEY LAKE, SASKATCHEWAN, WAS THE
COLDEST PLACE IN THE COUNTRY
TODAY, -48°.
THAT'S NOT COUNTING THE WIND
CHILL, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT.
MANY AMERICANS TOO ARE FEELING
THESE FRIGID TEMPERATURES.
SO NO SURPRISE THAT OFFICIALS ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER ARE
WARNING PEOPLE ABOUT FROSTBITE
AND HYPOTHERMIA.
AS CBC'S CAMERON MacINTOSH
TELLS US FROM WINNIPEG, THE
GREATEST CONCERN MAY BE FOR
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST
VULNERABLE.
>> HELLO?
ARE YOU GUYS HOME RIGHT NOW?
>> Reporter: IN THE WINNIPEG
WIND CHILL THAT FEELS LIKE -50°.
OUTREACH WORKER TAGART PORTER IS
LOOKING FOR
ANYONE WHO IS LIVING OUTSIDE.
>> JUST WANT TO SEE IF YOU NEED
ANYTHING.
>> Reporter: IT TURNS OUT THAT
THERE'S NO ONE HERE.
BUT AROUND THE CORNER IN A
DOWNTOWN ALLEY --
>> HEY, YOU GOT A SECOND?
>> Reporter: NICKY AND HER
FRIEND LEE ARE LIVING ON THE
STREET.
THEY AREN'T DRESSED FOR IT.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT ON
THERE.
DO YOU WANT A COAT?
WE HAVE EXTRA COATS.
COME ON, WE'LL GET YOU ONE.
>> Reporter: THEY SAY THEY
DON'T FEEL SAFE IN SHELTERS SO A
COUPLE MINUTES LATER THEY'RE
BOTH GIVEN SPECIAL JACKETS THAT
DOUBLE AS SLEEPING BAGS.
>> IT MEANS A WHOLE LOT TO ME
BECAUSE THIS JACKET, I CAN FEEL
COLD AIR COMING UP ON MY
STOMACH.
>> Reporter: SO YOU'RE
SLEEPING OUTSIDE?
>> SLEEPING OUTSIDE.
>> HOW HAS THAT BEEN?
>> KIND OF HARD, REALLY HARD.
SOMETIMES YOU DON'T GET ENOUGH
REST BECAUSE YOU DON'T FEEL
SAFE.
>> Reporter: SIMILAR STORIES
IN OTHER CITIES.
IN THE UNITED STATES THE COLD
SNAP IS BEING BLAMED FOR AT
LEAST SIX DEATHS AND OTHER
PROBLEMS IN
SOME CITIES THAT WEREN'T
PREPARED OR EQUIPPED.
MINNEAPOLIS IS NO STRANGER TO
WINTER BUT WIND CHILLS HERE ARE
ALSO EXTREME.
POLICE ARE HANDING OUT WARM
CLOTHES.
>> HEY, YOU NEED GLOVES!
>> Reporter: IN CHICAGO COLD
TEMPERATURES NEARED RECORD LOWS.
IT'S CAUSING ITS NORMALLY
ICE-FREE RIVER TO FREEZE.
>> HOT COCOA...
>> Reporter: OF COURSE
DANGEROUS IS RELATIVE.
IN INDIANAPOLIS,-17° IS ENOUGH
TO
ISSUE PUBLIC WARNINGS.
>> PLEASE, TAKE PRECAUTION.
>> YOU WANT TO GRAB A BAG?
>> Reporter: BACK IN WINNIPEG
THE SALVATION ARMY IS GOING OUT
NIGHTLY TO BRING PEOPLE INTO
SHELTERS.
>> WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE AVAILABLE AND WE'RE
SHOWING PEOPLE SUPPORT AND
TRYING NOT TO LET ANYBODY FALL
THROUGH THE CRACKS.
>> Reporter: UP ON THE ROOF OF
THIS BUILDING HERE... PORTER IS
LITERALLY LOOKING IN THE CRACKS,
ANYWHERE THAT SOMEONE MIGHT BE
SLEEPING.
>> WE'LL JUST KEEP COMING BY
UNTIL WE CONNECT.
>> Reporter: AND HOPEFULLY GET
MORE PEOPLE OUT OF THE COLD.
CAMERON MacINTOSH, CBC NEWS,
WINNIPEG.
>> Andrew: CAM MENTIONED
CHICAGO.
IT WAS ACTUALLY COLDER TODAY
THAN PARTS OF ANTARCTICA.
YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW JUST BEING
OUTSIDE, NEVER MIND ACTUALLY
GETTING AROUND, IS AGONIZING.
AND YET THE CITY MUST KEEP
MOVING.
SO HERE'S WHAT THEY DO TO KEEP
THE TRAINS RUNNING -- THEY LIGHT
THE TRACKS ON FIRE.
IT MAKES FOR A SURREAL VIEW.
THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL
THOUGH.
THE COLD SHUT DOWN THIS TRAIN
STATION POSSIBLY FOR DAYS.
AND FOR OTHERS IT'S EITHER A
SLOW CAREFUL DRIVE OR A SLOW
PUNISHING WALK.
AND YET SOMETIMES ALL YOU CAN DO
IS SHARE THE LAUGHS, EVEN THE
BEAUTY, ONLINE.
FROM A SUDDEN INTEREST IN
SUB-ZERO SCIENCE --
>> WOO!
>> Andrew: TO THESE STRIKING
IMAGES OF A KIND OF COLD THAT'S
HARD TO COMPREHEND.
OKAY, NOW THIS IS THE POINT
WHERE OUR METEROLOGIST MAKES
SENSE OF IT ALL.
JOHANNA WAGSTAFFE IS JOINING US
FROM VANCOUVER.
AND, JO, WE HAVE HEARD OF THE
POLAR VORTEX.
REMIND US WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING
ON THERE?
>> Reporter: SO, ANDREW, THE
POLAR VORTEX IS BASICALLY A BAND
OF SWIRLING WINDS THAT IS
NORMALLY LOCKED UP IN THE
ARCTIC, BUT EVERY ONCE IN A
WHILE THAT VORTEX IS DISTURBS
AND MEANDERS FARTHER SOUTH THAN
NORMAL.
IN THIS CASE THE VORTEX IS SPLIT
IN TWO.
AND ONE OF THOSE POCKETS OF
EXTREMELY COLD AIR IS ENTRENCHED
ACROSS A HUGE SWATH OF NORTH
AMERICA, WITH THE HEART OF THAT
COLD AIR IN CENTRAL CANADA AND
THE U.S. MIDWEST.
>> Andrew: AND, JO, TO
WHAT EXTENT SHOULD WE EXPECT
THIS KIND OF WINTER TO HELP
-- TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND
AGAIN?
>> Reporter: THERE'S IMPACTS
ON THE JET STREAM.
THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES IN
OUR WARMING CLIMATE BETWEEN THE
ARCTIC AND
THE REST OF THE GLOBE AREN'T AS
GREAT BECAUSE THE ARCTIC IS
WARMING SO MUCH FASTER.
AND THAT'S CAUSING THE JET
STREAM TO SLOW DOWN, BECOME
WAVIER, AND MEANDER MORE.
AND THAT OPENS THE DOOR TO THESE
WEATHER EVENTS THAT GET SORT OF
LOCKED IN PLACE LONGER THAN
NORMAL.
SO WHILE WE WON'T SEE EVERY
WINTER LOOK LIKE THIS, WHAT WE
WILL SEE IS MORE EXTREME WEATHER
EVENTS LIKE THIS ONE.
>> Andrew: OKAY, JOHANNA
WAGSTAFFE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Reporter: YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> Andrew: AND ONE LAST NOTE
ON THE WEATHER, ADRIENNE -- SO
CHICAGO, CRUSHINGLY COLD, RIGHT?
BUT GET THIS -- BY MONDAY IT
COULD BE AS WARM AS 10°.
>> Adrienne: WHICH SOUNDS
TROPICAL AND MESSY.
OBVIOUSLY, THE COLD DOMINATED
CONVERSATIONS ACROSS COUNTRY
TODAY.
EVEN IN OTTAWA WHERE POLITICS
ALWAYS COMPETES FOR TOP BILLING,
ESPECIALLY IN AN ELECTION YEAR.
YOU SEE, CANADA IS LOOKING TO
WARD OFF THE TYPE OF THREATS
THAT TAINTED THE LAST U.S.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND THE
BREXIT VOTE.
SO THE GOVERNMENT HAS COME UP
WITH A SWEEPING PLAN TO FIGHT
ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
IT
INCLUDES A SPECIAL PANEL
THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND THE
ALARM IF DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS ARE
BEING UNDERMINED.
AND $7 MILLION TO HELP TO TEACH
CANADIANS THAT WHAT YOU SEE ON
TWITTER OR FACEBOOK MAY BE
DESIGNED JUST TO DECEIVE YOU.
BUT ALSO OTTAWA IS RELYING ON
THE GOODWILL OF SOCIAL MEDIA
GIANTS TO PROTECT VOTERS BEFORE
THEY CAST THEIR BALLOTS THIS
FALL.
SO JUST HOW WILL THAT WORK?
DAVID COCHRANE LOOKS AT THE
PLAN.
>> Reporter: CANADA SEEMS
POISED TO DO SOMETHING THAT MANY
WOULD CONSIDER UNWISE -- GIVE
SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES THE
BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT DURING AN
ELECTION.
>> WE EXPECT SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORMS TO TAKE CONCRETE
ACTIONS TO HELP SAFEGUARD THIS
FALL'S ELECTION.
>> Reporter: THE KEY WORD
THERE IS "EXPECT."
THERE ARE NO NEW LAWS REQUIRING
FACEBOOK OR TWITTER TO DO
ANYTHING.
THE GOVERNMENT PASSED
LEGISLATION LAST YEAR REQUIRING
A PUBLIC REGISTRY OF ONLINE
POLITICAL ADS.
BUT FOR NON-ADVERTISING CONTENT
THAT'S STILL A DISCUSSION.
>> I THINK THAT THERE'S AN
OPENNESS.
I THINK THAT THERE'S AN
UNDERSTANDING ON THE PART OF THE
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS THAT THEY
NEED TO DO THINGS BETTER, THAT
THEY HAVE TO RE-EARN THE TRUST
OF
THE PEOPLE THAT USE THEIR
PLATFORMS.
>> Reporter: THAT TRUST HAS
BEEN BADLY DAMAGED.
IN THE U.K., MILLIONS OF
FACEBOOK USER HIS THEIR PRIVATE
INFORMATION MISUSED DURING THE
BREXIT CAMPAIGN.
IN THE U.S., TWITTER BOTS WENT
INTO OVERDRIVE IN THE STRETCH
RUN
OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
>> THE SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS THAT
CAN WEAPONIZE A LIE ON THEIR
PLATFORM ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO
ANYTHING SUBSTANTIVE IN THIS
CONVERSATION ABOUT SPREADING
MIS AND DISINFORMATION TO
CANADIAN VOTERS IN OUR
ELECTIONS.
>> Reporter: TWITTER AND
FACEBOOK ISSUED STATEMENTS
VOWING TO COOPERATE.
BUT IT'S AN OPEN QUESTION IF
EVEN THAT WILL BE ENOUGH BECAUSE
THE
HACKERS, TROLLS AND BOTS ARE
OFTEN A STEP AHEAD.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY
GOVERNMENT, FRANKLY, HAS THE
POWER TO FULLY REIN IN ALL OF
THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY.
THEY'RE CHANGING THEIR TACTICS
ON AN ONGOING BASIS.
SO EVEN IF YOU HAD THE FULL
COOPERATION OF THESE PRIVATE
COMPANIES, IT'S STILL HARD TO
TELL WHAT'S GOING ON SOMETIMES.
>> Reporter: THE GOAL NOW IS
TO GET THAT COOPERATION FORCED
IN PART BY OUTRAGE OVER PAST
PRACTICES.
>> The Hon. Ralph Goodale: IT
TOOK A WHILE TO GET THE
TRACTION, BUT THE RESPONSIVENESS
HAS INCREASED OVER THAT PERIOD
OF TIME.
MANY COUNTRIES ARE NOW RAISING
WITH THEM THIS SAME POINT ABOUT
FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN
ELECTIONS.
SO THE TOPIC WILL NOT COME AS A
SURPRISE TO ANY OF THEM.
>> Reporter: NOT A SURPRISE,
BUT A BIG JOB WITHOUT MUCH TIME.
CANADIANS GO TO THE POLLS IN
OCTOBER.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: LATER IN THE SHOW
I'LL SPEAK WITH MARIA RESSA, ONE
OF "TIME" MAGAZINE'S PERSONS OF
THE YEAR.
SHE HAS BEEN TRACKING HOW
ATTACKS IN
FAKE NEWS IS USED TO UNDERMINE
JOURNALISM.
SHE THINKS THAT CANADA SHOULD BE
CONCERNED TOO.
>> Ian: BIT, FIRST, IT WAS
ANOTHER
EMOTIONAL DAY IN A SASKATCHEWAN
COURTROOM.
AND THERE WAS A VERY UNUSUAL
MEETING AS WELL AS FAMILIES
AFFECTED
BY THE HUMBOLDT BUS CRASH
DESCRIBED HOW THEIR LIVES HAD
BEEN FOREVER CHANGED.
THE FIRST TO SPEAK TODAY WERE
THE PARENTS OF DAYNA BRONS, THE
TEAM'S TRAINER AND ATHLETIC
THERAPIST, AND THE ONLY WOMAN ON
THE BUS.
IT WAS HER MOTHER'S DREAM TO
HELP DAYNA TO PLAN A WEDDING.
TODAY SHE SAID, YES, WEE DID
WALK HER DOWN THE AISLE, BUT WE
WEREN'T ESCORTING A BRIDE.
WE WERE ESCORTING A CASKET.
>> WE ARE DEVASTATED, I DON'T
KNOW -- I DON'T KNOW, HOW DO YOU
DESCRIBE A LOSS OF A CHILD?
PEOPLE SAY THEY CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH AND I
THINK, NO, YOU CAN'T.
>> Ian: MORE THAN 90 VICTIM
IMPACT STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN READ
OR SUBMITTED.
SUSAN ORMISTON HAS BEEN IN THE
COURTROOM LISTENING TO EACH OF
THOSE HEARTWRENCHING STORIES AND
SHE ALSO SPENT TIME WITH ONE
FAMILY STILL STRUGGLING TO COPE
WITH THEIR LOSS.
>> Reporter: THE WINDSWEPT
CORNER WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
LIVES FROZEN IN TIME ON
APRIL 6th.
AND 65 KILOMETRES DOWN THE
HIGHWAY COUNTLESS STORIES OF
PAIN AND PROMISE EXTINGUISHED.
>> I HAVE CRIED MORE THIS WEEK,
YOU KNOW, LIKE I HAVE ALL YEAR.
JUST BECAUSE ALL OF THEIR
STORIES ARE
OUR STORIES, RIGHT?
>> Reporter: RAELENE AND RUSS
HEROLD ARE THE PARENTS OF ADAM,
A FARM BOY.
WHO GREW INTO A STRAPPING YOUNG
HOCKEY PLAYER WITH A REAL CHANCE
AT THE NHL.
MAYBE AFTER THAT CAREER TO TAKE
OVER THE FAMILY FARM.
NOT NOW.
>> HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FOURTH
GENERATION ON OUR FARM.
YOU KNOW, SO ALL OF THE YEARS
THAT WE'VE WORKED TO MAKE OUR
FARM BETTER, WHO'S TAKING IT
OVER NOW?
>> Reporter: ADAM JOINED THE
BRONCOS JUST FOR THE PLAYOFFS.
HE WAS THE YOUNGEST TO DIE, JUST
16.
THE MEMORY IS FRESH AS
YESTERDAY.
>> I THINK BACK THAT WE JUST
CAME BACK FROM A TRIP.
WE HADN'T BURIED ADAM YET AND I
SAT DOWN IN HIS FAVOURITE CHAIR
IN THE LIVING ROOM AND I TOOK
HIS URN AND I SAT IT ON MY LAP.
I PULLED OUT MY PHONE AND I
SHOWED HIM PICTURES FROM MY
TRIP.
AND I SAID, THIS IS WHERE WE
WERE.
AND I TOLD HIM ALL OF THE PLACES
THAT WE WERE AND THERE WERE
PLACES THAT WE HAD GONE
PREVIOUSLY WITH HIM.
YOU KNOW, I'M HOLDING IN MY LAP
MY 6'2", 200-POUND ATHLETIC SON
IN AN URN, JUST LIKE I HELD HIM
WHEN HE WAS A BABY.
>> Reporter: RUSS AND RAELENE
CAME TO THE COURT TO TELL THE
TRUCK DRIVER HOW THEIR LIVES,
LIKE DOZENS OF OTHERS, WAS
RIPPED APART.
>> UP TO APRIL 6th, LIFE WAS
ROLLING ALONG HAPPY AND, YOU
KNOW, EVERYONE ALWAYS SAYS THE
MILLION DOLLAR FAMILY -- A BOY
AND A GIRL, RIGHT?
EVERYTHING IS CRUISING ALONG.
AND, BOOM, IN A SPLIT SECOND
THINGS CHANGE.
>> Reporter: ARE YOU ANGRY?
>> I'M VERY ANGRY, ABSOLUTELY.
I'M ANGRY AT THE WORLD.
>> Reporter: SO MANY PARENTS
HAVE POINTED QUESTIONS STILL FOR
JASKIRAT SINGH SIDHU, THE TRUCK
DRIVER.
>> WAS HE DAYDREAMING?
WAS HE JUST NOT PAYING
ATTENTION?
OR HE WAS IN A HURRY AND THOUGHT
THAT HE HAD TO KEEP GOING?
LIKE, WHY?
THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
IS -- WHY?
>> Reporter: MORE THAN A
PODIUM FOR THEIR GRIEF, THEY
WANT CONCRETE CHANGES SO THAT
THEIR CHILDREN DID NOT DIE IN
VAIN.
>> SOMEHOW WE HAVE TO GET THOSE
DRIVERS TRAINED BETTER OR BEING
MORE RESPONSIBLE OR CAUTIOUS --
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT TERM
IS, BUT I THINK THAT FOR ME THAT
WOULD BE A BIG STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
>> SEATBELTS ARE ANOTHER THING.
IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHY DO WE
NOT WEAR A SEATBELT ON A BUS?
>> Reporter: FOR THREE DAYS
THIS COURT IN A GYM HAS HEARD
EXCRUCIATING DETAIL OF LOSS,
REGRETS AND ANGER WITH A
CRUSHING FINALITY.
>> WHAT HAS CHANGED IN MY LIFE
IS SIMPLE -- IT'S NOT THE SAME
AND IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
AND THAT'S TRULY WHAT I NEEDED
HIM TO HEAR.
>> Reporter: RUSS, WHAT DO YOU
WANT FROM THIS COURT THIS WEEK?
>> JUSTICE.
I THINK --
>> Reporter: WHAT DOES THAT
LOOK LIKE TO YOU?
>> WELL, I -- I DON'T DOUBT THAT
HE'S GOT SOME REMORSE.
JUST SAYING "I'M SORRY" DOESN'T
QUITE CUT IT.
IT DOESN'T BRING PEOPLE BACK.
IT DOESN'T CHANGE ALL THE HURT
FOR ALL OF THESE FAMILIES.
SO I THINK THAT THERE HAS TO
BE -- THERE'S GOT TO BE A
CONSEQUENCE FOR YOUR ACTION AND
IT HAS TO BE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT
IN MY OPINION.
>> Reporter: BUT THEY KNOW
THAT NO SENTENCE WILL MAKE UP
FOR WHAT ENDED HERE.
>> Ian: LET'S BRING SUSAN IN
FROM MELFORT, SASKATCHEWAN WITH
DETAILS, SUSAN, OF AN
EXTRAORDINARY MEETING THAT
HAPPENED TODAY?
>> Reporter: YEAH, REMEMBER
SCOTT THOMAS, THE FATHER OF EVAN
WHO DIED IN THAT CRASH?
WELL, HE HAD A PRIVATE MEETING
TODAY WITH THE DRIVER, JASKIRAT
SINGH SIDHU, IN A MEETING ROOM
JUST OFF THE COURT.
IT WAS 15 MINUTES, VERY
EMOTIONAL.
AND THOMAS SAID THAT HE ASKED
SIDHU DIRECT QUESTIONS BUT THEY
WILL REMAIN PRIVATE.
BUT THEY EACH TALKED.
THERE WERE
SIDHU'S RELATIVES IN THE ROOM
AND THEY CRIED.
AND HE SAID HE FELT MUCH BETTER
FOR DOING THAT.
ADDING THAT IN HIS OPINION THAT
SIDHU'S FAMILY IS ALSO
DEVASTATED.
>> Ian: SUSAN ORMISTON, THANK
YOU.
>> Adrienne: TURNING NOW TO
VENEZUELA'S DEEPENING NATIONAL
CRISIS.
THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS HIT THE
STREETS AGAIN TODAY WHILE TWO
STARKLY DIFFERENT LEADERS BATTLE
FOR CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY.
RULING PRESIDENT NICOLÁS MADURO
IS INCREASINGLY ISOLATED AT HOME
AND ABROAD.
AS ELLEN MAURO EXPLAINS, AN
ATTEMPT TO CHECK THE GROWING
POWER OF HIS MINE RIVAL RECEIVED
IMMEDIATE BLOWBACK.
[CHANTING]
>> Reporter: ON THE STREETS OF
CARACAS, CALLS FOR UNITY AND
FREEDOM.
>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]
>> Reporter: "I WANT MY
COUNTRY TO BE FREE," THIS WOMAN
SAYS, "THAT'S THE ONLY THING
THAT I WANT."
JUAN GUIADÓ, NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
LEADER AND SELF-DECLARED
PRESIDENT, CALLED PROTESTS AFTER
VENEZUELA'S TOP COURT FROZE BANK
ACCOUNTS AND BANNED HIM FROM
LEAVING THE COUNTRY.
TODAY HE MARCHED ALONGSIDE HIS
SUPPORTERS.
>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]
>> Reporter: "WE HAVE BEGUN TO
BUILD A MAJORITY," HE SAYS,"WE
WANT A TRANSITIONAL GOVERNMENT
AND FREE ELECTIONS."
HIS FOE, NICOLÁS MADURO,
ATTENDED MILITARY EXERCISES
TODAY.
CRUCIALLY HE STILL HAS THE
GENERAL SUPPORT.
HE ALSO ACCUSED
THE U.S. OF ATTEMPTING A COUP.
THE AMERICANS AND CANADA
RECOGNIZE GUIADÓ AS THE
LEGITIMATE LEADER.
"THEY CAN'T TAKE VENEZUELA," HE
SAYS, "I'M THE
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF
CONSTITUTIONALLY."
A COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF WHO HAS
SEEN HIS COUNTRY FALL INTO A
DOWNWARD SPIRAL, DESPERATION
SETTING IN.
>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]
>> Reporter: "WE WANT
HUMANITARIAN HELP," THIS WOMAN
SAYS, "LIVES ARE BEING LOST
UNJUSTLY."
>> THIS IS THE WORST CRISIS THAT
HAS BEEN SEEN.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FOOD AND
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MEDICINE AND
YOU SEE THAT REFLECTED IN
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN
THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
>> Reporter: SO WHAT HAPPENS
NEXT?
MADURO SAYS THAT HE'S OPEN TO
DIALOGUE WITH THE OPPOSITION,
BUT HAS RULED OUT ANY NEW
ELECTIONS UNTIL 2025.
>> [CHANTS]
>> Reporter: THAT'S NOT ENOUGH
FOR THOSE ON THE STREETS.
THEY WANT CHANGE AND THEY WANT
IT NOW.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Ian: HERE'S SOME OF THE OTHER
STORIES THAT WE'RE WATCHING
TONIGHT... POLLS ARE CLOSING IN
LESS THAN AN HOUR IN A B.C.
BY-ELECTION THAT COULD TIP THE
PROVINCE'S BALANCE OF POWER.
A WIN FOR THE LIBERALS WOULD
GIVE THE PARTY 43 SEATS.
THAT WOULD BE THE SAME NUMBER AS
THE GOVERNING ALLIANCE BY THE
N.D.P. AND THE GREEN PARTIES.
IT'S WHY THIS IS SEEN AS ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT PROVINCIAL
BY-ELECTIONS IN YEARS.
>>> ALSO IN BRITISH COLUMBIA,
POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR THE
PERSON WHO SHOT A TRANSIT POLICE
OFFICER ABOUT THREE HOURS AGO IN
A SKYTRAIN STATION IN SURREY.
THE OFFICER SUFFERED SERIOUS
INJURIES BUT NOT
LIFE-THREATENING.
THE STATION HAS BEEN CLOSED.
THE PUBLIC IS BEING TOLD TO
AVOID THE AREA.
>> WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ONE CAN OF
SOUP NOW TO DISTRIBUTE.
>> Ian: A FIRE HAS WIPED OUT A
WAREHOUSE THAT HELD DONATIONS
FOR NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR.
THAT SUPPLY WAS MEANT TO LAST
OVER THE SLOWER MONTHS WHEN
DONATIONS TEND TO TRAIL OFF.
SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE IN THE
WAREHOUSE AT THE TIME BUT NO ONE
WAS HURT.
FIREFIGHTERS ARE STILL LOOKING
FOR THE CAUSE.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON
"THE NATIONAL"... TRACKING FAKE
NEWS AND RISKING IT ALL FOR THE
TRUTH.
MY INTERVIEW WITH ONE OF "TIME"
MAGAZINE'S PERSONS OF THE YEAR
LATER IN THE SHOW.
>> Ian: PLUS, HE WAS ONE OF THE
FIRST PEOPLE ON THE SCENE AT THE
HUMBOLDT CRASH AND TODAY HE
SHARED HIS MEMORIES OF THE
VICTIMS.
HIS TESTIMONY IS OUR "MOMENT."
>> Andrew: FIRST, DEFINING
CANCON IN 2019.
WE GO BEHIND THE SCENE AND ASK
WHETHER STREAMING SERVICES ARE
GETTING OFF THE HOOK.
>> THEY'RE EXTRACTING HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
REVENUE WITH CANADIANS WITHOUT
ANY CORRESPONDING OBLIGATION TO

>> Andrew: SOME OF THE BIGGEST
NAMES IN CANADIAN FILM AND
TELEVISION MET IN OTTAWA TODAY.
AMONG THEIR KEY CONCERNS, HOW
STREAMING COMPANIES LIKE NETFLIX
SHOULD BE REGULATED.
IT SAYS THAT IT'S ON TRACK TO
EXCEED ITS $500 MILLION
COMMITMENT TO PRODUCE
ORIGINAL CONTENT IN CANADA.
BUT HERE'S THE THING -- THAT
CONTENT MAY BE MADE IN CANADA
BUT THAT IS PART OF AN AGE OLD
DEBATE OF WHAT IS CANCON AND WHO
SHOULD PAY FOR IT?
>> PICTURE IT UP.
>> Reporter: ON LOCATION FOR
SEASON THREE OF KEEPER
SUTHERLAND'S SHOW "DESIGNATED
SURVIVOR."
SHOT IN A SUBURBAN TORONTO
STUDIO, A CREW OF CLOSE TO 200
PEOPLE WORK ON THE NETFLIX
SERIES.
THE PRODUCER FEELS LUCKY TO HAVE
THE SPACE.
>>> TO SHOOT IN TORONTO RIGHT
NOW, IT'S DIFFICULT TO EVEN FIND
A SPOT TO SHOOT BECAUSE ALL OF
THE WAREHOUSES AND EVERYTHING
THAT COULD BE TURNED INTO STUDIO
SPACE IS STUDIO SPACE RIGHT NOW.
>> Reporter: CANADA'S
$8 BILLION PRODUCTION INDUSTRY
IS BOOMING, LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
IN ANOTHER STUDIO NEARBY A SET
IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR
ANOTHER NETFLIX SERIES CALLED
"LOCK AND KEY."
FOREIGN STREAMING SERVICES FROM
NETFLIX
TO AMAZON TO HULU ARE CREATING
JOBS HERE BUT THEY MAKE NO
CONTRIBUTION TO THE
GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED FUNDS THAT
SUPPORT CANADIAN CONTENT.
THAT'S AN OUTRAGE TO SOME.
>> THEY ARE EXTRACTING HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
REVENUE FROM CANADIANS WITH NO
CORRESPONDING OBLIGATION TO THE
CANADIAN SYSTEM.
UNLIKE THEIR DOMESTIC
COMPETITORS.
>> Reporter: THE GOVERNMENT IS
CONCERNED AS WELL.
LAST YEAR IT ANNOUNCED A REVIEW
OF THE ALMOST 30-YEAR-OLD
BROADCAST LEGISLATION.
>> MANY PLAYERS, INCLUDING WEB
GIANTS, ARE NOT CONTRIBUTING TO
THE SYSTEM.
SO WHAT WE WANT IS THAT WE WANT
-- WE WANT FAIRNESS IN THE
SYSTEM.
>> Reporter: THE REVIEWS
EXPERT PANEL HAS RECEIVED 2,000
WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS FROM
INTERESTED PARTIES, INCLUDING
ONE FROM NETFLIX THAT INSISTS
THAT "ANY NEW REGULATION SHOULD
UNAMBIGUOUSLY EXCLUDE ONLINE
SERVICES."
>> ALL OF THIS IS TAKING PLACE
IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE IS
NO CANADIAN CONTENT EMERGENCY.
>> Reporter: IN OTTAWA THIS
MEDIA PROFESSOR THINKS THAT IT
WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO IMPOSE
ADDITIONAL COSTS ON FOREIGN
COMPANIES WHICH COULD BE PASSED
ON TO CONSUMERS.
>> WE KNOW RIGHT NOW THAT CANADA
HAS SOME OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE
INTERNET AND WIRELESS SERVICES
IN THE WORLD AND SO SAYING THAT
WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE FEES ON
THOSE SERVICES I THINK RUNS THE
RISK OF MAKING THOSE SERVICES
LESS AFFORDABLE.
>> Reporter: BUT THE HEAD OF
THE PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION
INSISTS THAT CONTENT PROVIDERS
OF ALL TYPES NEED TO PLAY BY THE
SAME RULES.
>> THE WHOLE WORLD IS GRAPPLING
WITH THIS ISSUE.
FRANCE AND GERMANY HAVE ALSO
BEGUN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE BY
REQUIRING CONTRIBUTIONS FOR
THEIR OWN INDIGENOUS
PROGRAMMING.
>> Reporter: ON LOCATION MANY
WONDER WHAT MAKES CONTENT
CANADIAN THESE DAYS ANYWAY?
>> NETFLIX ITSELF IS MAKING A
LOT OF SHOWS THAT ARE MADE BY
CANADIAN PRODUCERS AND CANADIAN
WRITERS THAT I WOULD CONSIDER
CANCON IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE
OF THE WORLD.
-- OF THE WORD.
>> Reporter: THE EXPERT PANEL
WILL CONSIDER THAT QUESTION TOO
BUT CANADIANS WILL BE KEPT IN
SUSPENSE ABOUT THE FINALE FOR
MANY MONTHS.
RECOMMENDATIONS AREN'T EXPECTED
UNTIL THE FALL.
DIANNE BUCKNER, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.

LATER.
WE GO BACK TO THAT LONDON
ROOFTOP WHERE THE FAB FOUR
PERFORMED TOGETHER FOR LAST
TIME.

FILIPINO INVESTIGATIVE
JOURNALIST MARIA RESSA JUST
WHAT'S AT STAKE.
>> ALLOWING THIS, WEAPONIZING
THE RULE OF LAW AND WEAPONIZING
THE LAW AGAINST PERCEIVED
(*)
>> Ian: HERE'S SOME OF THE OTHER
STORIES THAT WE'RE WATCHING
TONIGHT...
>>> THERE'S BEEN A 14th
CONFIRMED CASE OF A CANADIAN
WITH A MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS IN
CUBA THAT HAS AFFECTED CANADIAN
AND AMERICAN DIPLOMATS THERE.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS CUT
THE NUMBER OF EMBASSY STAFF IN
CUBA.
THE
SYMPTOMS OF THE HAVANA SYNDROME
INCLUDE DIZZINESS AND HEADACHES.
THE CAUSE IS NOT KNOWN BUT THE
BULK OF THE CASES WERE IN 2017.
THE RCMP IS INVESTIGATING WITH
SOME HAD BEEN FROM THE CUBAN
POLICE.
>> WE, THEREFORE, MADE THE
DECISION TO WITHDRAW FROM THE
2021...
>> Ian: THE NEXT FRANCOPHONIE
GAMES WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN NEW
BRUNSWICK BUT THE PROVINCE IS NO
LONGER WILLING TO HOST IT,
BLAMING SKYROCKETING COSTS AND
WHAT IT SAYS IS A LACK OF
SUPPORT FROM OTTAWA.
THE INITIAL COST OF THE GAMES
WAS $17 MILLION AND IT WAS TO BE
SPLIT BETWEEN THE PROVINCIAL AND
FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS.
BUT IT BALLOONED TO
$130 MILLION.
THE PRIME MINISTER SAID THAT HE
WAS DISAPPOINTED BY THE DECISION
BECAUSE OTTAWA WAS PREPARED TO
MATCH THE PROVINCE IN FUNDING.
>>> WE'RE LEARNING TROUBLING NEW
INFORMATION TONIGHT ABOUT
SERIOUS RCMP MISCONDUCT IN A
DECADE OLD B.C. MURDER
INVESTIGATION.
THE DETAILS ARE COMING TO LIGHT
IN THE WAKE OF GUILTY PLEAS BY
THREE FORMER OFFICERS AND THE
LIFTING OF A PUBLICATION BAN.
IT HAS TO DO WITH THE NOTORIOUS
SURREY SIX GANG MURDERS IN 2007.
THAT'S WHEN MEN WERE SHOT
EXECUTION-STYLE.
TWO OF THE VICTIMS INNOCENT
BYSTANDERS IN.
2011, CHARGES WERE FILED AGAINST
SEVERAL OFFICERS, ONE OF THEM,
THEN SERGEANT DEREK BRASSINGTON
PLED GUILTY TO BREACH OF TRUST.
HE HAD A MONTHS LONG SEXUAL
AFFAIR WITH A KEY WITNESS, THE
EX-GIRLFRIEND OF A GANG MEMBER.
THEIR IDENTITIES ARE PROTECTED
BY COURT ORDER.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT, IF ANY,
IMPACT THE POLICE MISCONDUCT HAD
ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE
ACCUSED KILLERS, BUT WE DO KNOW
THAT CONTROVERSIALLY THAT MURDER
CHARGES WERE STAYED AGAINST ONE
OF THE ACCUSED.
BRASSINGTON SAID IN COURT
"INSTEAD OF
RESTORING PUBLIC TRUST AND FAITH
IN THE RCMP, I KILLED IT.
I AM SORRY TO EVERYONE IN THIS
COUNTRY THAT LOOKS TO POLICE TO
DO WHAT'S RIGHT."
BRASSINGTON HAS BEEN SENTENCED
TO HOUSE ARREST FOR JUST UNDER
TWO YEARS AND THE TWO OTHER
OFFICERS WILL SPEND THREE MONTHS
UNDER HOUSE ARREST.
>> Adrienne: ANY COUNTRY IN AN
ELECTION YEAR, LIKE CANADA,
NEEDS TO STAND ON GUARD AGAINST
LIES AND RUMOURS CIRCULATING
ONLINE.
YOU KNOW THE ONES -- STORIES
DESIGNED TO DRIVE A WEDGE
BETWEEN COMMUNITIES, MANUFACTURE
DANGERS AND COMING TO A
DEMOCRACY NEAR YOU.
THAT'S PART WHAT IS BEHIND THE
FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY FROM
OTTAWA TO TRY TO PROTECT THE
ELECTION.
BUT IT TAKES MORE THAN THAT.
SO WE THOUGHT THAT WE'D CONNECT
WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS SEEN THE
WORST OF THE FAKE NEWS
PHENOMENON AND IS DOING
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
MARIA RESSA WAS NAMED BY "TIME"
MAGAZINE AS A "GUARDIAN OF THE
TRUTH."
HERE'S WHY... THINGS AREN'T
ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.
A FEW WEEKS AGO THESE
JOURNALISTS WERE GIVEN THE
PRESTIGE OF RINGING IN THE NEW
YEAR IN TIMES SQUARE.
FOR FILIPINO MARIA RESSA RIGHT
THERE IT LOOKS LIKE SUCH A HAPPY
HONOUR.
SHE'D BEEN LABELLED AS ONE OF
"TIME" MAGAZINE'S "PERSONS OF
THE YEAR," A BIG DEAL, A
GUARDIAN OF THE TRUTH.
BUT SHE SAID THAT THE MOMENT SHE
FOUND OUT NEARLY MADE HER SICK
TO HER STOMACH.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHO ELSE WAS
CHOSEN, JAMAL KHASHOGGI, WHO WAS
GUNNED DOWN AND THE REUTERS
REPORTERS JAILED IN MYANMAR.
>> I'M THE ONLY ONE OF THE FOUR
THAT WAS BOTH ALIVE AND FREE.
SO I WAS THINKING IS THIS WHERE
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO, IS THIS
PREDICTING?
I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF EMOTIONS
AND FEELINGS.
YOU KNOW THAT SINKING FEELING IN
THE PIT OF YOUR STOMACH?
AND THEN I'M LIKE WHAT WILL THAT
MEAN, WILL IT BRING MORE ATTACKS
OR WILL IT HELP US?
NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> Adrienne: SHE MAY SEEM
LIKE A JOURNALISTIC ROCK STAR TO
LOOK AT HOW THOSE IN TORONTO
GREETED HER RECENTLY AT A TALK
ABOUT TRUTH IN THE LIBRARY, OF
COURSE.
BUT BACK HOME IN THE PHILIPPINES
SHE'S IN TROUBLE AND COULD EVEN
GO TO JAIL.
THE NEWS ORGINISATION THAT SHE
RUNS "RATTLER" IS IN THE
SIGHTS OF RODRIGUEZ DUTERTE'S
GOVERNMENT FOR ITS PERSISTENT
REPORTING OF DUTERTE'S BLOODING
DRUG WAR.
TRYING TO HOLD TO ACCOUNT THOSE
KILLED WITH IMPUNITY.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> Adrienne: THERE'S THAT FAKE
NEWS SLOGAN.
IN THE PHILIPPINES THOSE WORDS
CARRY DANGEROUS WEIGHT.
DUTERTE TRIED TO CLOSE "RATTLER"
AND HIS SUPPORTERS EGGED ON BY
TROLL FARMS, HAVE BEEN TRYING TO
ATTACK RESSA ONLINE AND TRYING
TO
START A MOVEMENT TO JAIL HER.
>> I GET SO MANY THREATS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA, I HAVE NO IDEA
WHEN IT CROSSES INTO THE REAL
WORLD.
>> Adrienne: THE JAIL THREAT
IS REAL.
SHE'S FACING FIVE ARREST
WARRANTS AND CHARGES OF TAX
EVASION AND A POSSIBLE 15-YEAR
SENTENCE.
>> THAT TAX EVASION CHARGE, THE
FOUNDATION OF IT, IS THAT
"RATTLER" IS A DEALER IN
SECURITIES.
THAT'S A DIRECT QUOTE "A DEALER
IN SECURITIES."
>> Adrienne: BUT YOU'RE A NEWS
AGENCY?
>> EXACTLY.
DEALERS IN SECURITIES ARE LIKE
STOCKBROKER AGENCIES.
WE'RE NOT SELLING STOCKS TO
CONSUMERS BUT THEY'RE TREATING
IT THAT WAY.
AND THEY'RE SAYING
BECAUSE WE SOLD STOCKS THAT WE
NEED TO PAY THESE TAXES THAT
COME FROM BEING A DEALER IN
SECURITIES.
THE WHOLE THING IS TO TRY TO
STOP OUR POLITICAL COVERAGE BUT
I, AGAIN, I HOPE THAT THERE'S
ENOUGH MEN AND WOMEN INSIDE OF
THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT IN THE
JUDICIARY SYSTEM THAT WILL STAND
ON PRINCIPLES.
BECAUSE ALLOWING THIS,
WEAPONIZING THE RULE OF LAW,
WEAPONIZING
LAW AGAINST PERCEIVED ENEMIES,
AGAINST JOURNALISTS?
THIS IS A MASSIVE CRACK IN A
PILLAR OF DEMOCRACY.
FROM NOVEMBER 2017 TO 2018 THE
NUMBER OF COUNTRIES THAT --
WHOSE DEMOCRACIES ROLLED BACK,
WENT UP MORE THAN DOUBLE.
>> Adrienne: RESSA THINKS A
LOT ABOUT RISKS TO DEMOCRACIES.
THAT'S THE ESSENCE OF OUR
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS IN CANADA.
THIS CONVERSATION WE HAD ON
STAGE IN TORONTO PARTLY ABOUT
FACEBOOK'S ROLE IN THIS.
SHE IDENTIFIED EARLY HOW
DISINFORMATION NETWORKS USE
FACEBOOK, FINDING PARALLELS IN
OF ALL PLACES HOW TERROR
NETWORKS USE SOCIAL MEDIA.
SHE SHOWED MARK ZUCKERBERG WHAT
WAS HAPPENING AND HOW AND WHO
WAS BEHIND IT, ON HOW WHAT WAS
HAPPENING IN THE PHILIPPINES
COULD HAPPEN AROUND THE WORLD.
SHE WANTED HIM TO SHUT THEM DOWN
AND AT FIRST HE DID NOTHING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DREAM ABOUT
WALKING UP TO MARK ZUCKERBERG D.
SHE WANTED HIM TO SHUT THEM DOWN
AND AT FIRST HE DID NOTHING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DREAM ABOUT
WALKING UP TO MARK ZUCKERBERG
AND SAYING, HEY, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?
YOU ACTUALLY DID, YOU GOT IN HIS
FACE.
>> I WENT TO FACEBOOK IN AUGUST
OF 2016 BECAUSE WE GOT THE DATA
FROM JULY AND TOLD THEM THAT WE
ARE WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE,
WE'RE THE CAUTIONARY TALE AND
WE'RE THE CANARY IN THE COAL
MINE.
I SAID, MARK, YOU HAVE TO COME
TO THE PHILIPPINES BECAUSE
FACEBOOK IS SO POWERFUL THAT
ALMOST 97% OF FILIPINOS ON THE
INTERNET ARE ON FACEBOOK.
HE FROWNED.
AND I WAS LIKE, WHY ARE YOU
FROWNING?
AND HE SAID, MARIA, WHERE ARE
THE OTHER 3%?
AND WE ALL LAUGHED AROUND THE
TABLE.
TABLE.
>> Adrienne: KIND OF A SAD
LAUGH THOUGH I'M GUESSING.
HER MESSAGE DIDN'T SINK IN AND
AS "RATTLER" KEPT REPORTING, THE
ATTACKS GOT WORSE, NOT JUST ON
RESSA BUT ON ALL FILIPINO
JOURNALISTS WHO DARED TO TRY TO
HOLD DUTERTE TO ACCOUNT.
THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THEM.
>> HAVE YOU BEEN THREATENED WITH
VIOLENCE?
>> HAVE YOU BEEN THREATENED WITH
VIOLENCE?
>> YES.
>> HAVE YOU BEEN THREATENED WITH
DEATH?
>> YES.
>> HAS THE VIOLENCE BEEN
DESCRIBED TO YOU?
>> YEAH, BLOW MY HEAD OFF OR
BURY ME ALIVE.
>> Adrienne: SHOW KEPT PUSHING
-- SHE KEPT PUSHING
FACEBOOK TO UNDERSTAND THE
DAMAGE DONE TO SOCIETIES WHEN
THEY'RE DIVIDED BY LIES AND
HATE.
SOMEHOW SHE THINKS THAT SHE NOW
UNDERSTANDS.
>> A MAN NAMED NATHANIEL WAS
HIRED BY FACEBOOK.
HE USED TO HEAD COUNTERTERRORISM
FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND TO LOOK AT THESE NETWORKS
THROUGH COUNTERTERRORISM LENSES
IS THE FIRST STEP I THINK TO
TAKING THEM DOWN.
AND THEY BUILT A TEAM, THEY'RE
BUILDING TEAMS NOW TO DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S ENLIGHTENED
SELF-INTEREST.
IF THEY DON'T DO THIS PEOPLE
WILL DROP -- THEY GOT PUMMELLED
LAST YEAR AND I HOPE THEY HAVE
LEARNED THEIR LESSON.
>> Adrienne: MAYBE.
ARE THERE LESSONS FOR CANADA IN
AN
ELECTION YEAR?
THE EARLY SIGNS OF THE RUSSIAN
NETWORKS ARE INTERESTED IN THE
CONVERSATION HERE.
>> CANADA IS A VERY MUCH A
MELTING POT OF DIFFERENT
CULTURES.
WHEN THIS KIND OF EMOTION IS
UNLEASHED IT'S HARD TO LET
RATIONAL MINDS PREVAIL.
>> Adrienne: DO YOU THINK THAT
CANADA IS RIPE FOR THE TAKING BY
THESE -- THESE DISINFORMATION
NETWORKS?
>> I THINK THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE
COMPLACENT.
THIS STUFF ON SOCIAL MEDIA
PUSHES POPULISM TO THE NTH
DEGREE BECAUSE IT FUELS YOUR
FEARS AND IT POUNDS ON FRACTURE
LINES OF SOCIETIES.
WHEN YOU SEE THAT'S HAPPENING,
WHO IS BEHIND IT, WHERE IS IT
COMING FROM?
IS IT SOCIAL MEDIA DRIVEN?
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND A
NETWORK BEHIND THAT.
>> Adrienne: SHE'S STILL
RESEARCHING AND SHARING THE
TOOLS FOR HOW TO DO IT, BUT TIME
IS TICKING.
MARIA RESSA HAD TO GET COURT
PERMISSION TO COME HERE AND
KNOWS AFTER HER SHORT TRIP THAT
SHE'S BACK INTO THE FIRE IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
WHY NOT JUST NEVER GO BACK?
SHE HAS AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
>> BUT I'M ALSO A FILIPINO.
AND IT'S -- THIS IS WHY WE
BECAME JOURNALISTS IN THE FIRST
PLACE, RIGHT?
AND WHEN YOU'RE A JOURNALIST IN
GOOD TIMES IT'S EASY TO LIVE BY
THOSE PRINCIPLES, BY THE
MISSION.
THIS IS A TIME WHEN IT MATTERS.
SO I HAVE NO CHOICE.
>> Adrienne: THE TEST IN THE
COURTS IS COMING SOON.
THE TEST IN DEMOCRACIES AROUND
THE WORLD CHIPPED AWAY AT BY
GEOPOLITICAL FORCES TRYING TO
MANIPULATE US ALL IS HAPPENING
EVERY SINGLE MOMENT.
ANOTHER TEST?
INDIA.
IT IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST
DEMOCRACY, AND LIKE US, IN AN
ELECTION YEAR.
BUT IN INDIA FAKE NEWS AND
FALSEHOODS HAVE KILLED PEOPLE.
SO THE GOVERNMENT IS TAKING A
TOUGHER APPROACH, PROPOSING THE
DISSEMINATION OF FAKE NEWS TO BE
ILLEGAL.
BUT TONIGHT WE'RE ASKING "CAN A
LAW STOP FAKE NEWS?"
>> MEET GARIA...
>> Adrienne: THIS IS AN AD IN
INDIA.
THIS CHARACTER BEING
SO MEDIA SAVVY AND EXPLAINING
THE DANGERS OF SPREADING FAKE
NEWS ON WHATSAPP TO HER UNCLE.
>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
>> Adrienne: LAST YEAR VIOLENT
MOBS FORMED AFTER SEEING VIDEOS
LIKE THIS PASSED AROUND ON
WHATSAPP.
PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS A
KIDNAPPING IN PROGRESS AND
STARTED HUNTING THE PREDATORS.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE VIDEO
WAS TAKEN FROM A PUBLIC SERVICE
ANNOUNCEMENT AGAINST CHILD
KIDNAPPING.
BUT THE LIES SOARED ANYWAY AND
INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE KILLED.
OTHER RUMOURS LEFT PEOPLE BEATEN
AND FAMILIES MOURNING.
THOSE ATTACKS SCARED THE INDIAN
GOVERNMENT INTO ACTING TO DEAL
WITH THE DANGERS.
THERE'S NOW A DRAFT LAW BANNING
INFORMATION THAT, QUOTE
"DECEIVES OR MISLEADS, IS
GROSSLY OFFENSIVE OR MENACING IN
NATURE."
AND PLATFORMS LIKE WHATSAPP ARE
ORDERED TO TAKE DOWN THE LIES.
>> IT'S A KIND OF A KNEE JERK
REACTION TO A SPATE OF KILLINGS
AND VIOLENCE THAT WERE CREATED
BY RUMOURS FED ON WHATSAPP.
>> Reporter: SHE WORRIES THAT
THE DRAFT LAW VIOLATES THE
RIGHTS TO PRIVACY AND FREEDOM OF
SPEECH.
THE LAW ASKS WHATSAPP TO BREAK
ITS ENCRYPTION, THE VERY REASON
THAT SO MANY PEOPLE USE IT.
>> SO THE
>> SO THE RULES REQUIRE THAT ALL
SERVICES SELECT AND STORE
INFORMATION ABOUT WHO IS SENDING
MESSAGES TO WHOM AND IF THE
GOVERNMENT ASKS FOR IT, THEY
SURRENDER THIS INFORMATION.
>> Adrienne: THE DRAFT LAW IS
SO AGGRESSIVE THAT COMPANIES
LIKE NETFLIX WORRY ABOUT
LEGISLATION LIMITING THEIR
CONTENT TOO.
THEY'RE PREEMPTING THAT,
ANNOUNCING A PLAN TO
SELF-REGULATE.
AND EVEN THAT WORRIES THE
CRITICS.
>> IT'S GOING TO LEAD USERS TO
ONE THING, SHOULD I POST THIS
OR NOT BOTHER BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO GET BANNED OR HAVE MY
CONTENT REMOVED.
SO WHAT THIS MEANS EVENTUALLY IS
A CHILLING EFFECT ON THE FREEDOM
OF SPEECH OF USERS.
>> Adrienne: MAYBE THERE'S
ANOTHER WAY.
>> SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT BE
DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
YES, IT SHOULD BE.
>> Adrienne: AS A FAKE NEWS
DEBUNKER, HE SAYS THAT THE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON
SCHOOLING, NOT A LEGAL HAMMER.
>> IT SHOULD FOCUS ON EDUCATION
AWARENESS AT THE LEVEL OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND CITIZEN
ENGAGEMENT AND CHILDREN IN
SCHOOLS.
TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF WHAT
THEY'RE LOOKING AT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU SHOULD BE SKEPTICAL OF.
>> Adrienne: EDUCATION HELPS
BECAUSE WHEN POLICE STARTED TO
EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE THAT THOSE
KIDNAPPING RUMOURS ON WHATSAPP
WERE LIES, THOSE KILLINGS
STOPPED.
WHAT ALSO HELPED STOP THEM?
A DECISION BY WHATSAPP TO LIMIT
THE NUMBER OF TIMES
THAT A MESSAGE CAN BE FORWARDED.
THAT'S A TECHNICAL TWEAK.
BUT THIS IS THE ERA LOOKING FOR
A BALANCE BETWEEN LAW, LITERACY
AND TECHNOLOGY TO ENSURE LIES
DON'T SPREAD AND LIES DON'T
KILL.
SO HOW TO PRESERVE DEMOCRACY IN
AN AGE OF MISINFORMATION?
THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE QUESTIONS
THAT WE'LL TACKLE IN THE LEAD-UP
TO THIS FALL'S FEDERAL ELECTION.
CBC NEWS AND "THE NATIONAL" WILL
BE TAKING YOU DEEPER INTO THE
ISSUES
AS CANADA VOTES.
>> Andrew: FASCINATING AND
IMPORTANT STUFF.

>> Andrew: AND COMING UP THIS
FRIDAY ON "THE NATIONAL"...
DAVID COMMON TAKES US INSIDE A
SENIORS' HOME THAT IS EMBRACING
RISK TO ENSURE THAT DEMENTIA
PATIENTS RETAIN SOME FREEDOM.
>> Reporter: DOWN THE HALL IS
SYLVIA.
SHE'S OFF EXERCISING HER
FREEDOM.
AND FOR THIS DEMENTIA PATIENT
THAT COMES WITH RISKS.
>> HERE WE ARE.
>> Reporter: AMID THE HUGS
WITH HER NURSE MAY, A
RECOGNITION THAT SYLVIA IS PRONE
TO FALLING.
SHE WEARS PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR,
BUT ISN'T PREVENTED FROM
WANDERING.
IN SOME HOMES THEY'D JUST SAY IF
YOU'RE AT RISK OF FALLING --
>> OH, NO, WE LET OUR RESIDENTS
LIVE AT RISK.
>> Reporter: WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN "LIVE AT RISK?"
>> LET THEM LIVE THEIR LIFE FROM
ACCORDING TO HOW THEY WANT TO
LIVE.
LIKE, WE CAN'T KEEP THEM FROM
INJURY, YOU KNOW, BUT AT LEAST
THEY'RE LIVING THEIR LIFE AND
BEING

>> Ian: IT WAS 50 YEARS AGO
TODAY THE BEATLES LAST PUBLIC
PERFORMANCE.
* DON'T LET ME DOWN
(*)
* DON'T LET ME DOWN
>> Ian: WELL, A YEAR AFTER THAT
ROOFTOP CONCERT, THE FANS WERE
LET DOWN WHEN THE GROUP BROKE
UP.
TODAY IN LONDON PEOPLE GATHERED
AT THE SITE TO RE-LIVE THE
MOMENT AND OUR OWN KAYLA
HOUNSELL WAS THERE.
>> THIS IS A BIG OCCASION AND AN
AMAZING TURNOUT.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING

SPECIAL, EVEN FOR HIM.
>> SAVILE ROW.
>> Reporter: 3SAVILE ROW, THE
FORMER APPLE HEADQUARTERS AND
THE SITE OF THE
BEATLES' FAMOUS ROOFTOP CONCERT.
IT WAS 50 YEARS AGO.

FAB 4'S LAST PUBLIC PERFORMANCE
AS A GROUP.
>> YOU ARE HOPING THAT PAUL AND
RINGO WOULD JUST SHOW UP AND SAY
HELLO.
>> Reporter: ELAINE THOMPSON
AND HER HUSBAND, NEIL, HAVE COME
FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND.
>> BECAUSE WE'RE HUGE BEATLES
FANS AND I HAVE BEEN A BEATLES
FAN SINCE I WAS 7 YEARS OLD AND
SAW THEM ON "THE ED SULLIVAN
SHOW."
(*)
>> Reporter: IN 1969, THE
BEATLES WERE SHOOTING A
DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE RECORDING
OF THE "LET IT BE" ALBUM.
THEY DECIDED THAT A PUBLIC
PERFORMANCE IN AN UNORTHODOX
LOCATION WOULD MAKE THE PERFECT
ENDING.
>> SOME WERE TALKING ABOUT AN
AMPHITHEATER.
AND SOME PEOPLE WERE SENT OVER
TO
INDONESIA TO CHECK IT OUT BUT IT
DIDN'T WORK OUT.
>> Reporter: BUT THEY SETTLED
ON THAT ROOFTOP.
WILLIAM TREVOR LITTLE WAS THERE.
>> ON THAT DAY THERE WERE A LOT
OF PEOPLE HERE AND ALL OF THE
BUILDING WINDOWS WERE OPEN AND
PEOPLE WERE HANGING OUT THE
WINDOWS.
PEOPLE WERE SITTING ON THE WALL
UP THERE.
IT WAS JUST EXCITING.
(*)
>> Reporter: CANADIAN PIERS
HEMMINGSEN HAS WRITTEN SEVERAL
BOOKS ABOUT THE BEATLES AND MADE
THE TRIP TO LONDON TO MARK
TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.
>> IT'S A SPECIAL DAY AND I URGE
EVERYONE TO GET OUT THEIR COPY
OF "LET IT BE" AND TO PLAY A
COUPLE TUNES FROM THE ALBUM TO
REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THAT THE
BEATLES PLAYED.

* GET BACK

>> Reporter: PAUL AND RINGO
DIDN'T SHOW UP BUT ELAINE
THOMPSON WAS STILL MOVED TO
TEARS.
>> JUST BEING HERE AND JUST
BEING PART OF THE CROWD AND, YOU
KNOW, HEARING THE SONGS AND
TRYING TO IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS
LIKE 50 YEARS AGO.
>> Reporter: THE BEATLES
ANNOUNCED THEIR BREAKUP ABOUT A
YEAR AFTER THAT CONCERT, MAKING
IT TRULY THE END OF AN ERA.
* GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE
BELONGED *
>> Reporter: KAYLA HOUNSELL,
CBC NEWS, LONDON.
>> Andrew: OKAY, NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL"... WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
A TURN.
THE FORMER ASSISTANT COACH FOR
THE HUMBOLDT BRONCOS READ HIS
VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT TODAY.
HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE
ON THE SCENE OF THE CRASH AND
WE'RE GOING TO BE TURNING OUR
"MOMENT" OVER TO HIM TONIGHT.
>> YOU ARE BEARING THE
UNBEARABLE.
WE ALL ARE.
THAT IS THE ROOT OF THE DEEPEST
COMPASSION.
WE HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO
INSTRUMENTS OF COMPASSION.
THIS IS A VERY FIERCE LESSON.
(*)
>> Andrew: BUD WAS THE
HUMBOLDT BRONCOS ASSISTANT COACH
WHO DID NOT DIE IN THE
BUS CRASH.
HE WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND IN HIS
OWN CAR AND HE WAS ONE OF THE
FIRST PEOPLE ON THE SCENE.
AT FIRST HE COULDN'T COMPREHEND
THE ENORMITY OF WHAT HAPPENED
BUT IT SOON BECAME CLEAR.
AND IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING THE
CRASH BEAUDRY'S JOB WAS TO HELP
TO
IDENTIFY THE VICTIMS.
TODAY HIS VICTIM IMPACT
STATEMENT WAS ONE OF THE FINAL
ONES READ IN COURT.
HE SHARED A MEMORY ABOUT EACH
FRIEND AND PLAYER HE IDENTIFIED.
THERE ARE NO CAMERAS IN THAT
TEMPORARY COURTROOM BUT BEAUDRY
AGREED TO READ HIS STATEMENT
AGAIN FOR US.
AND THAT IS OUR "MOMENT."
>> HAVING TO DO THIS ENORMOUS
TASK DIDN'T SEEM TO AFFECT ME AT
THE TIME.
I FELT LIKE I WAS GETTING A LAST
CHANCE TO HELP OR COACH MY
PLAYERS, REMEMBERING EACH ONE,
AND HUNTS NOT UNDERSTANDING
VIDEO,
AND HELPING SCHATZI TO WORK ON
HIS HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE FOR
COLLEGE.
AND TALKING ABOUT NUTRITION WITH
WACK AT THE GROCERY STORE AND
AND SEEING TOB PRACTISE HIS
LITTER EAACY SKILLS AT THE
CREDIT OUTION.
AND SEEING ADAM SKATE WITH THE
RAIDERS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
JOEY TELLING ME ABOUT HIS
GRANDPA BEING HIS BIGGEST FAN.
AND LUKAN TRYING TO STOP ME FOR
PAYING FOR SOMETHING AFTER A
FIRST BUS TRIP.
AND SEEING BROD COMING THROUGH
THE COACH'S OFFICE DOOR ON HOME
GAMES AND TOMMY'S FACE WHEN HE
TOLD ME HOW HE JUMPED OUT OF THE
WAY OF A PUCK TO SAVE HIMSELF
INSTEAD OF OUR TEAM COMPUTER.
AND JACOB OPENING UP TO ME AND
ASKING FOR HELP ON THE MENTAL
SIDE OF THE GAME AFTER AN
INJURY.
AND GLEN ALWAYS WELCOMING US.
AND TYLER AND I BOTH NOT WANTING
TO ADMIT THAT WE WERE ENJOYING
WATCHING A PLAYER DOCUMENTARY IN
FLIN FLON.
AND SEEING MARK TEACHING AT THE
WHITEBOARD AND LOOKING BACK AT
US AFTER WITH A HUGE GRIN.
AND SEEING ALL OF THE CLASSIC
DARCYISMS.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, MR. SIDHU, I
FORGIVE YOU.
DON'T LET YOUR LIFE TO BE
WASTED.
FROM TODAY ON DO AS MUCH GOOD AS
YOU POSSIBLY CAN GOING FORWARD,
BEING COMPASSIONATE, LOVE, AND,
MOST IMPORTANTLY, FORGIVE OTHERS
AS YOU HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN.
>> Andrew: SO THAT WAS JUST A
PART OF WHAT CHRIS SAID IN HIS
VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT.
THERE'S MORE TO HIS STORY.
FOR ONE, THAT HE FEELS LIKE HE
MAY HAVE LOST THE DESIRE TO
COACH.
YOU KNOW, HE TRIED GETTING BACK
INTO THE GAME IN THAT COACHING
CAPACITY.
HE WAS ABLE TO DO IT FOR 13
GAMES AND THEN DECIDED THAT HE
COULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE.
SO THAT HE HAS THE CAPACITY FOR
FORGIVENESS IS REALLY SOMETHING.
>> Adrienne: HIS OPENNESS, WE
ARE ALL GRATEFUL FOR HIS
OPENNESS.
I THINK THAT WE ARE ALL LEARNING
FROM THIS.
AND ONE THING THAT CHRIS SAID IS
THAT HE IS LEARNING ABOUT TRAUMA
AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT AND HOW
TO GET PAST IT AND EMPHASIZING
THAT IT'S A VERY LONG PATH.
>> Ian: I THINK WE'RE LEARNING A
LOT TOO, RIGHT?
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SADLY BEEN
THROUGH SOME OF THAT KIND OF
TRAUMA BUT FOR THOSE OF US THAT
HAVEN'T WE ARE SEEING THESE
APPROACHES AND SOME ARE
FORGIVING AND SOME NOT READY TO
FORGIVE BUT ALL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
THOUGHTFUL AND NOT ANY UGLINESS
THAT WE HAVE SEEN AT ALL.
IT'S REMARKABLE.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
JANUARY 30th.
GOODNIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOODNIGHT.
