>> Rosemary: ON THIS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT A DRAMATIC DAY IN THE
COMMONS.
>> I HOPE I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO SPEAK MY TRUTH.
>> Rosemary: BUT WHAT WILL THE
FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL REALLY
BE ABLE TO REVEAL?
AND WILL THE GOVERNMENT OR THE
LAW LET HER SAY IT?
(*)
>> I KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS
MOURNING, IT'S SEVEN BEAUTIFUL
AUTHENTIC SOULS.
>> Ian: NOVA SCOTIA UNITED IN
GRIEF FOR A FAMILY FACING
UNIMAGINABLE TRAGEDY.
SEVEN CHILDREN WERE KILLED IN A
FIRE.
A MOVING TRIBUTE FROM A FAMILY
FRIEND.
>> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF
MISINFORMATION BUT NOW THAT I
KNOW MORE ABOUT VACCINES
PERSONALLY I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE
TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE NOT
DANGEROUS.
>> Andrew: AS B.C. FIGHTS A
MEASLES OUTBREAK, KIDS ARE
SCHOOLING THEIR PARENTS ABOUT
VACCINES AND THEY'RE GETTING THE
SHOTS ON THEIR OWN.
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
(*)
>> Rosemary: THE FEDERAL
LIBERALS WERE TRYING THEIR BEST
TO PUT THE SNC-LAVALIN
CONTROVERSY BEHIND THEM -- A
PUBLIC APOLOGY FROM THE PRIME
MINISTER, MESSAGES OF UNITY.
THAT IS UNTIL JODY
WILSON-RAYBOULD MADE A PUBLIC
STATEMENT ON HER OWN.
HER UNEXPECTED COMMENTS IN THE
HOUSE, YET
ANOTHER TWIST FOR THE GOVERNMENT
ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH
ANONYMOUS ALLEGATIONS OF
POLITICAL INTERFERENCE BY THE
PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE.
TONIGHT DAVID COCHRANE TAKES US
BEHIND THE SCENES ON HOW THE
PRIME MINISTER IS MANAGING AN
EVOLVING POLITICAL CRISIS.
>> Reporter: THE CRACKS IN THE
LIBERAL CAUCUS HAVE BEEN VISIBLE
EVER SINCE THE SNC-LAVALIN STORY
BROKE.
>> I AM GOING TO ATTEND CAUCUS
AS I ALWAYS DO AND WE'LL SEE HOW
THE CONVERSATION GOES.
>> Reporter: SO EVERYONE MET
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE AND
TRIED TO PUT HUMPTY-DUMPTY
TOGETHER AGAIN.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: I APOLOGISE TO JODY
WILSON-RAYBOULD BECAUSE I WASN'T
QUICK ENOUGH TO CONDEMN IN
UNEQUIVOCAL TERMS THE COMMENTS
AND THE COMMENTARY AND CARTOONS
MADE ABOUT HER LAST WEEK.
THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY
UNACCEPTABLE AND I SHOULD HAVE
DONE IT SOONER.
>> Reporter: CAUCUS SOURCES
SAY THAT TRUDEAU ALSO CONCEDED
TO HIS M.P.s THAT HE HAS NOT
HANDLED THIS CONTROVERSY
PERFECTLY AND APOLOGISED THAT
M.P.s HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE
DARK.
MULTIPLE SOURCES SAY THAT THE
CAUCUS MEETING WAS LARGELY A
CALL FOR UNITY, INCLUDING FROM
JODY WILSON-RAYBOULD.
SOURCES SAY THAT DESPITE
EVERYTHING WILSON-RAYBOULD
REASSURED M.P.s THAT SHE WAS
ON THE LIBERAL TEAM AND
SUPPORTED THE LIBERAL AGENDA.
MANY MINISTERS AND M.P.s
EMERGED TO SPEED WALK PAST
REPORTERS BUT THOSE WHO SPOKE
SANG A POSITIVE TUNE.
>> A LOT OF IT HAS BEEN
STRAIGHTFORWARD DISCUSSIONS.
>> JODY IS A GREAT PERSON.
>> Reporter: BUT AS THE DAY
WORE ON THOSE CRACKS STARTED TO
REEMERGE.
>> MR. ERSKIN-SMITH.
>> MR. ERSKIN-SMITH.
>> MR. LONG.
>> MR. LONG.
>> Reporter: TWO LIBERAL
SMITH, WHO HAVE A HISTORY OF
BREAKING RANKS
VOTED WITH THE OPPOSITION IN AN
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO FORCE A
PUBLIC INQUIRY.
>> (Speaker of the House): A
POINT OF ORDER.
>> Reporter: ALSO THIS
HAPPENED...
>> I WOULD ASK THAT THE RECORD
SHOW THAT I HAVE ABSTAINED FROM
VOTING ON THAT MATTER...
>> Reporter: SHE SAID SHE
DIDN'T VOTE BECAUSE THE MOTION
AFFECTED HER DIRECTLY.
SHE CONSIDERS THAT A CONFLICT.
>> I UNDERSTAND FULLY THAT
CANADIANS WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH
AND WANT TRANSPARENCY.
PRIVILEGE AND CONFIDENTIALITY
ARE NOT MINE TO WAIVE AND I HOPE
THAT I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK MY TRUTH.
[Applause]
>> Reporter: JUST HOURS AFTER
SHE HAD PLEDGED LOYALTY SHE
BROUGHT THE OPPOSITION TO ITS
FEET.
AS TO WHAT HER "TRUTH" IS, THAT
WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
>> Question: WHAT DO YOU MEAN --
>> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER
TO SAY, THANK YOU.
>> Rosemary: OKAY, DAVID, DO
WE HAVE A SENSE OF HOW THE
LIBERALS ARE FEELING TODAY AFTER
ANOTHER EVENTFUL ONE ON THE HILL
HILL?
>> Reporter: WELL, I HAVE TO
TELL YOU THAT AFTER THE CAUCUS
MEETING THE LIBERALS THAT I
SPOKE WITH WERE FEELY PRETTY
GOOD ABOUT THE FACT THAT JODY
WILSON-RAYBOULD THERE WAS AND
SHE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT TEAM
UNITY.
BUT THEY ALSO EXPRESSED A
MEASURE OF CONCERN THAT THEY
JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS
GOING OR DO TO SAY NEXT AND THEN
THE ABSTENTION IN THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS VOTE.
IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT THERE'S
AN ATTEMPT TO SMOOTH
THINGS OVER, WE SAW THAT WITH
THE PRIME MINISTER'S APOLOGY,
BUT THERE'S PUBLIC SIGNS THAT
THINGS AREN'T GOING SO WELL AND
ALSO PRIVATE SIGNS TOO.
>> Rosemary: OKAY, WE DON'T
OBVIOUSLY HEAR WHAT HAPPENS
INSIDE OF CABINET MEETINGS
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE DANGEROUS
AND ILLEGAL.
BUT WE HAVE, IN SPITE OF ALL OF
THAT, LEARNED SOME DETAILS ABOUT
WHEN JODY WILSON-RAYBOULD MADE
THAT SURPRISE APPEARANCE THERE
YESTERDAY?
>> Reporter: YEAH, WE KNOW
THAT CABINET RAN EXTRA LONG
YESTERDAY AND PART IS BECAUSE
JODY WILSON-RAYBOULD WAITED FOR
TWO HOURS OUTSIDE OF THE CABINET
ROOM WHILE HER COLLEAGUES
DEBATED WHETHER OR NOT TO LET
HER IN.
WE HAVE MULTIPLE SOURCES TELLING
US THAT THERE WAS DEEP
CONCERN OF LETTING HER WALK IN
CABINET A WEEK AFTER SHE WALKED
OUT OF CABINET.
AND THE PRIME MINISTER FINALLY
AGREED.
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT JODY
WILSON-RAYBOULD SAID BECAUSE OF
THAT CABINET CONFIDENCE BOUGHT
WE WERE TOLD THAT SHE WAS
UNAPOLOGETIC.
AND WE SAW THAT TODAY, ROSIE,
WHAT WILL SHE SAY WHEN SHE
TESTIFIES AT THAT HOUSE OF
COMMONS JUSTICE COMMITTEE.
>> Rosemary: DAVID COCHRANE ON
THIS STORY AGAIN FOR US TONIGHT
IN OTTAWA,
THANK YOU.
>> Reporter: THANK YOU.
>> Rosemary: WILSON-RAYBOULD
WAS CLEAR THAT SHE WANTS TO TELL
HER STORY BUT WHAT IS DECIDEDLY
LESS CLEAR IS WHETHER THE
LIBERAL GOVERNMENT OR THE LAW
WILL LET HER TO DO THAT.
SALIMAH SHIVJI EXPLAINS WHY.
>> Reporter: WILL SHE SPEAK OR
WON'T SHE?
THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT
EVERYONE HAS BEEN TRYING TO
ANSWER.
JODY WILSON-RAYBOULD IS CHIEF
AMONG THEM.
>> I AM SEEKING COUNSEL ON THIS
MATTER ON WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT
SAY.
I UNDERSTAND FULLY THAT
CANADIANS WANT
TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND WANT
TRANSPARENCY.
>> Reporter: SHE MAY WANT TO
SPEAK OUT BUT A COUPLE OF THINGS
STAND IN HER WAY.
LET'S START WITH
SOLICITOR-CLIENT PRIVILEGE.
IT'S A CORE ETHICAL STANDARD FOR
LAWYERS.
YOU DON'T REVEAL WHAT YOU TALK
ABOUT WITH A CLIENT.
AS ATTORNEY GENERAL SHE WAS THE
GOVERNMENT'S LAWYER AND THE
GOVERNMENT HER CLIENT.
>> SO THE GOVERNMENT IS SEEKING
LEGAL ADVICE FROM THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL AND SHE PROVIDES THAT
ADVICE AND THEN THE GOVERNMENT
IS ENTITLED TO TREAT THAT AS A
PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION.
>> Reporter: EVEN IN THE FACE
OF GROWING CALLS FROM THE
OPPOSITION.
>> WILL HE WAIVE
SOLICITOR-CLIENT PRIVILEGE.
>> WAIVE ANY PURPORTED
SOLICITOR-CLIENT PRIVILEGE.
>> LET HER SPEAK.
>> Reporter: WHAT IF LEGAL
ADVICE WASN'T THE HEART OF THE
CONVERSATION?
THEN IT GETS COMPLICATED BECAUSE
--
>> THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WEARS
TWO HATS.
>> Reporter: ATTORNEY GENERAL
AND JUSTICE MINISTER.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WHICH IS WHERE THE
CABINET CONFIDENTIALITY KICKS
IN.
>> Reporter: ANYTHING THAT IS
SAID AROUND THIS TABLE OR
BETWEEN THE MINISTERS ANYWHERE
IS A NO-GO ZONE, KEPT SECRET SO
THAT MINISTERS ARE FREE TO
DEBATE.
>> THE PRIME MINISTER COULD
WAIVE CABINET CONFIDENCE IN THIS
CASE AND THERE IS POSSIBLY A
RISK THAT IT WOULD BE WAIVED IN
OTHER CASES OR THAT CALLS TO
WAIVE CABINET CONFIDENCE WOULD
WIDEN TO A LARGER DEGREE IN
CASES.
>> Reporter: BUT EXPERTS SAY
THAT THERE IS A WAY SHE CAN
SPEAK OUT NOW.
>> I AM A LIBERAL MEMBER OF
PARLIAMENT, THANK YOU.
>> Reporter: SHE'S PROTECTED
BY PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE SO
SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO STAND UP IN
THE HOUSE AND SAY, WELL, ALMOST
ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING SUED.
THAT IS, IF SHE WANTS TO.
>> I THINK THAT IT'S FAIR TO SAY
THAT SHE WOULD BE ACTING
CONTRARY TO HER ROLE AS A MEMBER
OF
THE LIBERAL CAUCUS INVITING
QUITE A BIT OF CONTROVERSY.
>> Reporter: AND VIOLATING
LEGAL ETHICS, A RISK THAT SHE
MIGHT NOT BE WILLING TO TAKE.
SO WILSON-RAYBOULD IS LOOKING TO
A FORMER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
FOR ADVICE.
SO THE WAIT CONTINUES.
SALIMAH SHIVJI, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Rosemary: AFTER THAT
DRAMATIC DAY ON PARLIAMENT HILL,
THE PRIME MINISTER TRAVELLED TO
HALIFAX WHERE HE HAD A PLANNED
LIBERAL PARTY FUNDRAISER.
>> Ian: AHEAD OF THAT EVENT,
ROSIE, JUSTIN TRUDEAU JOINED IN
A SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR THOSE
SEVEN
CHILDREN KILLED IN A HOUSE FIRE
YESTERDAY.
[BELLS TOLLING]
>> THINKING ABOUT THE KIDS FROM
THAT FIRE.
[indiscernible]
>> BEING A COMMUNITY ALL
TOGETHER AND HELPING EACH OTHER
OUT NO MATTER WHAT RACE OR
COLOUR OR ORIGIN.
WE'RE ALL HUMANS AND WE HAVE TO
BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER.
>> Ian: YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR THE
EMOTION THERE TONIGHT.
THE VIGIL WAS HELD IN HALIFAX'S
MAIN SQUARE.
IT'S ORGANIZED TO GIVE THE
COMMUNITY A PLACE TO UNITE FOR
THE BARHO FAMILY THAT CAME FROM
SYRIA JUST OVER A YEAR AGO.
JUSTIN TRUDEAU WERE THERE AS
WERE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE.
THEIR LOST IS FELT IN ELMSDALE A
SMALL COMMUNITY NEAR HALIFAX
THAT THE
BARHO FAMILY CALLED HOME UNTIL A
FEW MONTHS AGO.
AS BRETT CUS KIN SHOWS US,
THE PAIN THERE TODAY RUNS DEEP.
>> THEY WERE VERY MUCH A LOVED
FAMILY HERE.
>> Reporter: FOR THE BARHO
FAMILY, ELMSDALE WAS A REFUGE IN
CANADA.
IT'S A QUIET, TIGHT KNIT
COMMUNITY.
THEY MET DANIELLE WHEN THEY
WALKED INTO THE CONVENIENCE
STORE WHERE SHE WORKS AND THEY
BECAME FRIENDS.
>> THEY CAME TO FIGHT FOR AND I
JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ALL
SEASON LIVES AND WHAT THEY'RE
LEFT WITH.
>> Reporter: THE TOWN'S
SADNESS IS NOW ON FULL DISPLAY.
>> I HAVE FOUR OF MY OWN
CHILDREN AND I COULD NOT IMAGINE
LOSING ALL SEVEN CHILDREN.
>> Reporter: THIS FAMILY'S NEW
LIFE IN CANADA WAS CUT SHORT
HERE.
LAST SUMMER THEY MOVED FROM
ELMSDALE TO THIS HOUSE IN
HALIFAX TO BE CLOSER TO THE
LARGER SYRIAN COMMUNITY.
EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING IT WAS
AN INFERNO, CLAIMING THE LIVES
OF ALL SEVEN OF THE
FAMILY'S CHILDREN.
THE FAMILY HAS SERIOUS BURNS AND
IS NOW IN A MEDICALLY INDUCED
COMA.
THE MOTHER HAS FEW PHYSICAL
INJURIES BUT HAS BEEN CALLING
OUT THE NAMES OF HER CHILDREN
FROM HER HOSPITAL BED.
>> I KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS
MOURNING, SEVEN BEAUTIFUL
AUTHENTIC SOULS REALLY.
AS A MOTHER HAVING SPENT TIME
WITH THAT FAMILY, IT HAS TAUGHT
ME A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT MYSELF AND MY OWN
PARENTING, PARENTING WAYS,
BECAUSE THEY WERE AN EXTREMELY
CLOSE KNIT AND WELL-RESPECTED
CHILDREN THAT HELPED EACH OTHER.
A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN OUR
CULTURE WHERE WE AREN'T SO MUCH
LIKE THAT.
SO IT WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL TO SEE
AND TO BE AROUND.
WHICH MADE ME WANT TO DO BETTER
THAT WAY.
>> Reporter: SHE'S LEFT WITH
QUESTIONS JUST LIKE EVERYONE
ELSE.
WHERE DID THE FIRE START, HOW
DID IT SPREAD, WHY COULDN'T THE
KIDS GET OUT?
ALL PART OF AN INVESTIGATION
THAT CONTINUED TODAY.
WHAT SHE DOES HAVE THOUGH IS A
NEW OUTLOOK IN THE AFTERMATH OF
THIS HEARTBREAK.
>> DON'T TAKE YOUR LIFE FOR
GRANTED.
HUG YOUR CHILDREN TIGHTER.
SAY YOU'RE SORRY.
DO YOUR BEST.
BECAUSE IF ANYTHING THAT I
LEARNED THROUGH THEM IS FAMILY
IS UNITY.
IT IS EVERYTHING.
THAT'S ONE THING THEY HAD RIGHT.
THAT'S ONE THING THEY WILL CARRY
ON WITH ME.
>> Reporter: BRETT RUSKIN, CBC
NEWS, HALIFAX.
>> Ian: ACROSS THIS COUNTRY AND
AS FAR AWAY AS JAPAN, CANADIANS
ARE EXPRESSING SYMPATHY IN
ANOTHER WAY TOO, PLACING STUFFED
ANIMALS ON THEIR STEPS AND IN
THEIR WINDOWS.
>> I DECIDED TO LEAVE STUFFED
ANIMALS OUTSIDE ON MY FRONT
PORCH IN SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY.
THOSE CHILDREN HAD DREAMS AND
GOALS AND THEY HAD THEIR WHOLE
LIVES AHEAD OF THEM.
>> SO I JUST WANTED TO SHOW MY
SUPPORT AND, YOU KNOW, LET
EVERYONE KNOW THAT IT'S NOT JUST
A COMMUNITY, IT'S A GLOBAL
COMMUNITY.
>> I DO AGREE.
>> BEING ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO
WITNESSED THE FIRE A COUPLE
NIGHTS AGO, I AM DEEPLY
IMPACTED.
I SURELY BELIEVE THAT AS A
NATION THAT WE'RE ALL HURTING
FOR THIS DEAR FAMILY THAT WE
LOST IN CANADA.
>> HUG YOUR KIDS WHEN YOU GO TO
BED.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN.
CHERISH EVERY SINGLE MOMENT THAT
YOU HAVE WITH THEM.
>> I JUST PRAY THAT WE FIND
HEALING AND WE FIND PEACE.
>> Ian: AN ONLINE FUNDRAISING
CAMPAIGN FOR THE BARHO FAMILY
HAS RAISED MORE THAN $390,000
FROM MORE THAN 8,000 DOPERS.
>> Rosemary: NOW TO A MAJOR
DEVELOPMENT IN THE STRANGE SAGA
OF JUSSIE SMOLLETT WHO WAS THE
ACCUSER AND TONIGHT STANDS
ACCUSED.
CHICAGO POLICE HAVE CHARGED
SMOLLETT, ALLEGING THAT HE
ORCHESTRATED THAT STRANGE RACIST
AND
HOMOPHOBIC ATTACK ON HIMSELF.
KIM BRUNHUBER HAS THE
DEVELOPMENTS.
>> Reporter: FOR MANY WHO
HEARD JUSSIE SMOLLETT'S ACCOUNTS
OF A HORRIFIC ACCOUNT IT WOULD
NOT HAVE OCCURRED TO THEM THAT
IT MIGHT NOT BE TRUE.
AFTER ALL, WHY A STAR OF A HIT
TV
SHOW MAKE UP THE STORY OF BEING
VIOLENTLY ASSAULTED BY TWO
HOMOPHOBIC RACISTS?
BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT POLICE
ARE NOW
ALLEGING.
LATE AFTERNOON IN A TWEET,
CHICAGO POLICE ANNOUNCED THAT
JUSSIE SMOLLETT IS NOW
OFFICIALLY CLASSIFIED AS A
SUSPECT IN A CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION.
ON JANUARY 29th, SMOLLETT WHO
IS BLACK AND GAY, SAID THAT HE
WAS ATTACKED BY TWO MASKED MEN
AS HE WAS WALKING HOME FROM THE
SUBWAY SANDWICH SHOP IN DOWNTOWN
CHICAGO.
HE SAID THAT THE MEN BEAT HIM UP
UP,
AND THREW BLEACH ON HIM AND
LOOPED A ROPE AROUND HIS NECK
AND YELLED HOMOPHOBIC SLURS.
CHICAGO POLICE INITIALLY SAID
THAT THEY WERE INVESTIGATING THE
REPORT OF THE ATTACK AS A HATE
CRIME.
THEN LAST WEEK THEY ARRESTED THE
TWO MEN SEEN IN SURVEILLANCE
VIDEO.
THEY WERE RELEASED
WITHOUT CHARGES BUT LATER IT
CAME OUT THAT THE MEN WERE
BROTHERS AND SMOLLETT KNEW THEM.
ONE WAS AN EXTRA ON HIS SHOW.
EVEN MORE DAMNING NEW VIDEO.
IN THIS STORE SECURITY FOOTAGE,
THE TWO MEN APPEAR TO BE BUYING
RED HATS AND SKI MASKS THE DAY
BEFORE THE ALLEGED ATTACK.
THE CLRK SAYS HE'S SHOCKED.
>> I'M LIKE THE ONE THAT SHOWED
THE GUY THE MASK.
SO IT'S STILL -- I'M STILL IN
DOUBT.
>> YOU DO SUCH A DISSERVICE WHEN
YOU LIE ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS.
>> Reporter: SINCE THE FIRST
DOUBTS WERE RAISED ABOUT
SMOLLETT'S CLAIMS, THE ACTOR
INSISTED THAT EVERYTHING
HAPPENED EXACTLY AS HE SAID.
>> HOW CAN YOU DOUBT THAT, LIKE,
HOW DO
YOU NOT BELIEVE THAT?
IT'S THE TRUTH.
>> Reporter: SMOLLETT NOW HAS
A HIGH-PROFILE LAWYER TO HIS
TEAM WHO HAS REPRESENTED
NUMEROUS TROUBLED CELEBRITIES
INCLUDING MICHAEL JACKSON AND
R&B SINGER CHRIS BROWN.
TONIGHT POLICE CHARGED SMOLLETT
WITH A FELONY FOR FILING A FALSE
POLICE REPORT.
IF CONVICTED HE COULD FACE
JAILTIME BUT THE DAMAGE TO HIS
REPUTATION WOULD NO DOUBT LAST
MUCH, MUCH LONGER.
KIM BRUNHUBER, CBC NEWS, LOS
ANGELES.
>> Rosemary: AND TONIGHT
SMOLLETT'S LAWYERS RELEASED A
STATEMENT SAYING THAT THEIR
CLIENT ENJOYS THE PRESUMMITTION
OF
INNOCENCE BUT YOU BET THAT ALL
EYES WILL BE ON THAT COURTHOUSE
IN CHICAGO WHEN SMOLLETT APPEARS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
>> Andrew: NO KIDDING, ROSIE.
>>> TURNING TO VANCOUVER NOW
WHERE TWO SCHOOLS AT THE CENTRE
OF A MEASLES OUTBREAK HAVE
ORDERED STUDENTS AND STAFF TO
STAY HOME FOR THE NEXT TWO
WEEKS.
SOME HAVE NO PROOF OF
VACCINATION AND OTHERS DON'T
BELIEVE IN IT.
AND THAT'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE
WITH EIGHT CONFIRMED CASES THERE
ARE CONCERNS THAT THE DISEASE
COULD SPREAD, BUT IN CASES WHERE
PARENTS AND THEIR KIDS DISAGREE
ABOUT WHETHER TO GET A SHOT,
WHAT THEN?
RENÉE FILIPPONE SHOWS US.
>> WHO REMEMBERS WHAT HERD
IMMUNITY MEANS?
>> Reporter: IN THIS CLASSROOM
STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT ABOUT
VACCINES.
IT'S PART OF B.C.'S KIDS BOOST
IMMUNITY.
AN ONLINE PROGRAMME WITH THE
GOAL OF INOCULATING THE NEXT
GENERATION AGAINST
MISINFORMATION.
>> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
ARE TEACHING KIDS ABOUT
EVIDENCE-BASED SCIENTIFIC
INFORMATION SO THEY CAN MAKE
CRITICAL CHOICES FOR THEMSELVES.
>> Reporter: FOR THESE KIDS,
GETTING IMMUNIZED MAKES SENSE.
>> GETTING VACCINES IS IMPORTANT
BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE YOU
PROTECTING YOURSELF BUT ALSO
PROTECTING OTHER PEOPLE AROUND
YOU.
>> Reporter: THAT MESSAGE
APPEARS TO BE GETTING THROUGH,
ESPECIALLY WITH THIS RECENT
MEASLES OUTBREAK.
ACCORDING TO LOCAL DOCTORS, SOME
KIDS ARE TAKING THEIR HEALTH
INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.
>> I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE AS YOUNG
AS 12 AND 14 ASKING FOR
VACCINATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE
BEEN EXPOSED TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE
BEEN VACCINATED AND IT'S CAUSED
THEM TO QUESTION THE CHOICES
THAT THEIR PARENTS MADE FOR
THEM.
>> I TOLD MOST OF MY FRIENDS
WHEN I GOT IT...
>> Reporter: 23-YEAR-OLD
MADDIE VASSI
WAS NOT VACCINATED AS A CHILD
BECAUSE HER MOTHER BELIEVED THAT
IT WAS DANGEROUS.
SHE GOT THE MEASLES VACCINE JUST
THIS WEEKEND.
>> IF THERE WAS ONE THING TO DO
IS TO GO BACK WHEN I WAS 15 AND
FIRST ASKING QUESTIONS AND
SPOKEN TO SOMEONE WHO WAS MORE
EDUCATED ON IT.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT CLEAR
WHAT THE VACCINATION RATE IS IN
B.C. SCHOOLS BUT IT'S LOWER THAN
THE HEALTH AUTHORITY WOULD LIKE
TO SEE.
FOR EXAMPLE, JUST OVER HALF OF
THE STUDENTS AT THIS VANCOUVER
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAVE REPORTED
THEIR VACCINE STATUS.
THAT IS CONCERNING FOR THIS
PARENT SINCE 90% OF THE
COMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE IMMUNIZED
FROM MEASLES TO PREVENT ITS
SPREAD AND TO PROTECT THOSE
PEOPLE WHO CAN'T GET VACCINES.
>> YOUR DECISION ABOUT YOUR
CHILDREN'S VACCINATION DOESN'T
JUST AFFECT YOU AND YOUR
CHILDREN, IT AFFECTS MY CHILDREN
TOO.
>> Reporter: TWO DOSES OF THE
VACCINE ARE 99% EFFECTIVE AT
PREVENTING MEASLES.
ANYONE UNSURE OF THEIR
IMMUNIZATION STATUS IS
ENCOURAGED TO GET A BOOSTER.
RENÉE FILIPPONE, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: NOW IN CANADA THE
RULES AROUND VACCINATIONS ARE
PRETTY RELAXED AND THEY'RE NOT
MANDATORY.
AND WHILE KIDS IN ONTARIO AND
NEW BRUNSWICK DO NEED PROOF OF
VACCINATION TO ENROLL
IN SCHOOL, PARENTS CAN GET
EXEMPTION ON THE GROUNDS SIMPLY
BELIEVE IN VACCINES.
BUT OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD
TOOK A STRICTER APPROACH.
ARGENTINA PASSED A LAW TO MAKE
VACCINATIONS FREE AND MANDATORY
RIGHT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
IF YOU WANT TO ENROLL IN SCHOOL
OR EVEN RENEW YOUR PASSPORT YOU
HAVE TO SHOW PROOF THAT YOU HAVE
BEEN VACCINATED.
OVER IN AUSTRALIA, IF YOU'RE NOT
VACCINATED IT WILL COST YOU
MONEY.
THERE'S A POLICY OF NO JAB, NO
PAY.
MEANING THAT PARENTS WHO REFUSE
TO VACCINATE THEIR KIDS HAVE
THEIR BENEFITS DOCKED, AT LEAST
$28 AUSTRALIAN PER CHILD EVERY
TWO WEEKS.
AND IN FRANCE VACCINATIONS ARE A
MUST.
THEY EVEN RECENTLY EXPANDED THE
NUMBER OF VACCINATIONS THAT
CHILDREN HAVE TO GET FROM THREE
TO 11.
THE GOAL IS TO GET IN LINE WITH
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
GUIDELINES -- A BODY, WHICH, BY
THE
WAY, THAT PUTS ANTI-VAXXERS AS
THE TOP LIST WITH THOSE WITH AIR
POLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE.
IT SAYS THAT A MILLION AND A
HALF LIVES COULD BE CHANGED
AND SAVED
EVERY YEAR IF IMMUNIZATION RATES
WERE IMPROVED.
>> Ian: WE'RE FOLLOWING SEVERAL
OTHER DEVELOPING STORIES
TONIGHT, STARTING WITH A FALLOUT
FROM A
CBC "GO PUBLIC" INVESTIGATION.
AN INQUIRY FOUND THAT THE BIG
TELECOM COMPANIES ARE USING
HARMFUL, MISLEADING
AGGRESSIVE SALES TACTICS.
>> IT'S A GREAT DAY BECAUSE IT'S
RARE THAT CONSUMERS ARE
TAKEN SERIOUSLY IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> Ian: THE CRTC SAYS THAT NEW
RULES
ARE NEEDED TO STOP THEM FROM
USING THOSE PRACTICES,
ESPECIALLY WITH SENIORS, PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES, AND PEOPLE
WHOSE FIRST LANGUAGE IS NOT
ENGLISH OR FRENCH.
THE REPORT INCLUDES SEVERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING BETTER
PRICE PROTECTION AND COOLING OFF
PERIODS.
ALL OF THIS IS AFTER HUNDREDS OF
WORKERS AND ANOTHER THOUSAND
CUSTOMERS SENT "GO PUBLIC" THEIR
COMPLAINTS.
>>> A TORONTO-AREA FATHER IS
CHARGED WITH KILLING HIS
11-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER HAS DIED IN
HOSPITAL.
ROPESH RAJKUMAR DIDN'T RETURN
HIS DAUGHTER AFTER A VISIT.
HE DIED FROM A SELF-INFLICTED
GUNSHOT WOUND.
>> Rosemary: AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," THEY WERE SOME OF THE
MOST VULNERABLE PREYED UPON BY
PRIESTS.
YOU'LL HEAR FROM SEX ABUSE
SURVIVORS TAKING THEIR
HEARTBREAKING STORIES TO THE
VATICAN.
>> Andrew: AND A CRASH LEFT
WICKENS PARALYSED.
AND TONIGHT A HUGE MOMENT IN HIS
ROAD TO RECOVERY.
>> Ian: WE KNOW THAT TRANS FATS
ARE NOT HEALTHY BUT WHAT ARE
COMPANIES REPLACING IT WITH?
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THIS RIGHT
NOW, 3.35 GRAMS OF SATURATED
FAT.
WE'RE MAKING OUR JUNK FOOD A
LITTLE
(*)
>> Ian: WHEN CANADA BANNED
ARTIFICIAL TRANS FATS LAST YEAR,
THE HOPE WAS THAT
IT WOULD REDUCE HEART DISEASE,
PREVENTING UP TO 12,000 HEART
ATTACKS OVER 20 YEARS, ACCORDING
TO SOME RESEARCHERS.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHAT IS
REPLACING THEM MAY NOT BE MUCH
BETTER FOR YOUR HEALTH OR FOR
THE ENVIRONMENT.
AS CHRISTINE BIRAK SHOWS US,
COMING UP WITH NEW ALTERNATIVES
HAS ITS OWN CHALLENGES.
>> CAN YOU BRING THE COOKIES
OVER HERE, PLEASE?
>> Reporter: BAKING IS A
SCIENCE, EVEN SLIGHT RECIPE
CHANGES CAN TURN LIGHT AND
FLUFFY INTO A HOCKEY PUCK.
SO WE ASKED THIS BAKER WHAT
HAPPENED
WHEN HE TOOK TRANS FATS OUT OF
THE MIX?
>> THE COOKING MIXES, THEY WERE
JUST STAY FLAT AND OUR ICINGS
WOULD STAY FLAT.
>> Reporter: MOST PASTRIES
NEED SOLID FAT TO LIFT THEM UP
AND TO CREATE THAT LAYERED SILKY
SMOOTH BITE.
WHEN SATURATED FATS LIKE BUTTER
AND LARD TOOK A BEATING OVER
HEALTH CONCERNS, TRANS FATS LIKE
SHORTENING AND MARGARINE TOOK
OVER.
IT TURNS OUT THAT THEY WERE EVEN
LESS HEALTHY.
>> THAT'S WHY WE JUST STARTED
GOING BACK TO
BUTTER AND MAKING OUR LIVES AS
EASY AS POSSIBLE.
>> SO THIS HAS ALREADY
CHANGED...
>> Reporter: TRANS FATS HAVE
ALSO DISAPPEARED FROM MOST
PRE-PACKAGED PROCESSED FOOD,
MAKING OLD FATS NEW AGAIN.
>> Reporter: SO WHAT'S IT GOT
IN IT NOW?
>> SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS RIGHT
NOW, 3.5 FATS, SATURATED FATS.
>> Reporter: UNLIKE THE BAKERY
NOTHING HERE CONTAINS BUTTER,
ALMOST EVERYTHING HERE IS LOADED
WITH INEXPENSIVE PALM OIL.
>> PALM OIL IS A HIGHLY
SATURATED FAT.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S A PLANT-BASED
FAT.
>> Reporter: BUT
ENVIRONMENTALLY PALM IS HIGHLY
CONTROVERSIAL.
IT'S LINKED TO LARGE-SCALE
DEFORESTATION.
STILL FOOD MAKERS HOPE THAT
TRANS FAT FREE LEADS TO
HEALTHIER SALES.
NUTRITIONAL SCIENTISTS SEE IT
DIFFERENTLY.
>> WE'RE MAKING OUR JUNK FOOD A
LITTLE BIT LESS WORSE, NOT
NECESSARILY A GOOD THING.
>> NOTICE THERE'S LIQUID OIL
HERE.
>> Reporter: FOOD CHEMISTS
CAN'T TURN A
MUFFIN INTO A SALAD BUT THEY'RE
TRYING TO COME UP WITH HEALTHIER
FATS.
>> THIS COULD BE USED TO
SOLIDIFY ANY OIL.
>> Reporter: THEY FIGURED OUT
HOW TO SOLIDIFY OLIVE OIL USING
WATER.
>> SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT IS
MADE ONLY WITH OIL, WATER AND A
NATURAL EMULSIFIER AND THIS CAN
BE USED TO MAKE COOKIES AND
MUFFINS AND CAKES.
>> Reporter: BUT THE COST
KEEPS LARGE FOOD MANUFACTURERS
FROM BITING.
>> YES, SOMEBODY HAS TO TAKE THE
FIRST STEP.
>> Reporter: BUTTER MAKES
THINGS DELICIOUS, IT'S
SUSTAINABLE BUT EXPENSIVE AND
CALORIE HEAVY.
NO DOUBT ANOTHER NEW, PERHAPS
HEALTHIER SOLID FAT WILL COME
ALONG.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS NEXT?
>> I WISH I KNEW.
I REALLY, REALLY WISH I KNEW.
WE'LL SEE IN A COUPLE YEARS.
>> Reporter: CHRISTINE BIRAK,
CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Rosemary: AHEAD TONIGHT ON
"THE NATIONAL," THEY'RE AFRAID
THAT THE WORLD HAS FORGOTTEN
ABOUT THEIR SONS.
CHRIS BROWN SPEAKS TO THE
FAMILIES OF UKRAINIAN SAILORS
IMPRISONED IN RUSSIA.
>> Andrew: FIRST THOUGH AS THE
VATICAN PREPARES TO CONFRONT
CLERGY ABUSE WE
SPEAK TO SURVI
(*)
>> Andrew: ON THE EVE OF AN
UNPRECEDENTED CONFERENCE ON
CLERGY ABUSE, THE POPE SET A
CONTENTIOUS TONE BY CRITICISING
THOSE WHO CONSTANTLY ACCUSE THE
CHURCH.
>> [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
>> Andrew: THE POPE ASKS, WHO
IN THE BIBLE IS CALLED THE GREAT
ACCUSER, WHO?
THE CROWD RESPONDS, THE DEVIL.
I CAN'T HEAR YOU, SAYS THE POPE.
THEY SHOUT MORE LOUDLY.
IT'S JUST ONE SIGN THAT THIS
GROUNDBREAKING FOUR-DAY
CONFERENCE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH FOR
ABUSE VICTIMS.
TODAY A DOZEN OF THEM MET WITH
VATICAN OFFICIALS AND LEFT
DISAPPOINTED THAT THE POPE
DIDN'T ATTEND.
>> IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE POPE
ONCE AGAIN IS GIVING THE TWO
FINGERS TO SURVIVORS AND TO
CHILD PROTECTION EVERYWHERE.
>> Andrew: THEY'RE CALLING FOR
THE POPE TO DECLARE ZERO
TOLERANCE FOR ABUSE ACROSS THE
CHURCH AND TO DISMISS BISHOPS
WHO TOOK PART IN COVER-UPS.
THE CBC'S THOMAS DAIGLE IS IN
ROME TONIGHT BUT FIRST HE
STOPPED IN VERONA TO MEET WITH A
PARTICULAR GROUP THAT FOR
DECADES WAS
PREYED UPON BY PRIESTS.
AND THEIR STORY IS ESPECIALLY
DISTURBING
BECAUSE OF WHAT MADE THEM SO
VULNERABLE.
(*)
>> Reporter: VERONA, A PLACE
SO PICTURESQUE THAT IT SERVED AS
A MEWS FOR SHAKESPEARE TWICE.
A CITY WITH MUCH DARKER STORIES
TOO, THE KIND THAT POETS DIDN'T
WRITE ABOUT.
NIGHTMARES THAT WERE KEPT HIDDEN
BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
THOSE STORIES ARE SHARED
NOWADAYS AT THIS COMMUNITY
CENTRE FOR DEAF PEOPLE.
>> WE ASKED AND WE HAVE
SUGGESTED...
>> Reporter: MANY HERE WERE
PHYSICALLY AND SEXUALLY ABUSED
BY PRIESTS.
THIS IS THEIR SAFE SPACE.
DECKED OUT TO SHOW THEIR ANGER
TOWARDS THE CLERGY ON ONE SIDE
OF THE ROOM AND THE LIFE THAT
CAME AFTER THE ABUSE ON THE
OTHER.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: NOW HE WAS
REPEATEDLY ATTACKED BY THREE
PRIESTS THROUGHOUT HIS SCHOOL
YEARS.
DO YOU STILL PRAY?
>> NO PRAYING, NO.
>> Reporter: HE REMEMBERS ALL
TOO CLEARLY THE ONE HE CALLS
"THE WORST OF ALL."
>> BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
>> Reporter: I WAS HIT WITH A
STICK AGAIN AND AGAIN HE SAYS.
IT HURT.
AND THEN HE SODOMIZED ME AND I
YELLED.
FOR ME IT WAS LIKE DYING.
HORROR STORIES LIKE HIS STAYED
TRAPPED FOR DECADES BEHIND THESE
WALLS, THE BUILDING THAT ONCE
HOUSED THE ANTONIO PROVOLO
INSTITUTE.
IT WAS A CATHOLIC-RUN SCHOOL
WHERE PRIESTS PREYED ON BOYS
KNOWING THAT THEIR SCREAMS
WOULDN'T BE HEARD BECAUSE ALL
STUDENTS WERE DEAF.
17 VICTIMS CAME FORWARD FOR
AN INVESTIGATION BUT DOZENS MORE
ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE SUFFERED
ABUSE HERE AT THE PROVOLO
INSTITUTE BETWEEN THE 1950s
AND THE 1980s.
JOURNALIST PAOLO DISADI BROUGHT
THE
STORY TO LIGHT IN 2009 AFTER A
COVER-UP THAT HAD LASTED
DECADES.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: I WAS STUNNED, TO
SAY THE LEAST, WHEN THE VICTIMS
TOLD ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED BUT
THEY WERE EXTREMELY COURAGEOUS,
HE SAYS.
AND IT DIDN'T END THERE.
DEAF GIRLS ATTENDING THE SCHOOL
TWO DOORS DOWN ALSO SUFFERED
ABUSE.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: EVERY WEEK AT
CHURCH, SHE SAYS, THAT A PRIEST
GROPED HER AND MASTURBATED.
THE NUNS KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS
GOING ON, SHE SAYS, BUT THEY
DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
>>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: IN 2010 THE
VATICAN INTO THE PROVOLO SCANDAL
CALLING THEM TO LOOK INTO IT,
BUT HE HIRED A
CIVIL MAGISTRATE INSTEAD OF A
CLERGYMAN TO HANDLE THE CIVIL
CASE.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: WE HAVE SEEN WHAT
RESULT COMES FROM THE METHODS OF
THE PAST, HE SAID, WHICH
ENTAILED SWEEPING THE DUST UNDER
THE CARPET.
HE SAYS ONLY TWO LIVING
PRIESTS WERE FOUND GUILTY THOUGH
NEITHER ONE WAS SENT TO JAIL AND
NEITHER LOST HIS STATUS AS A
CATHOLIC PRIEST.
SO FEELING LIKE THEY NEVER GOT
JUSTICE, ABUSE SURVIVORS HAVE
MADE PROPS DEMANDING PEDOPHILE
PRIESTS TO BE KICKED OUT OF THE
CHURCH.
YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR THAT IN
ROME?
THEY'RE TAKING THEIR CAMPAIGN TO
THE POPE'S GLOBAL SUMMIT THIS
WEEK.
THE EVENT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP TO
STOP THE
KIND OF ABUSE THEY SUFFERED.
THE LEAST THEY WANT NOW, THEY
SAY, IS COMPENSATION.
>> IT'S THE BEGINNING TO ANOTHER
ERA.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW.
WE'LL WAIT AND SEE.
>> Reporter: INDEED, VICTIMS
AROUND THE WORLD WILL BE HOPING
FOR CHANGE, PERHAPS FINALLY A
PATH TOWARDS A CLOSURE THAT HAS
BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME COMING.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, VERONA,
ITALY.
>> Andrew: NOW ON LAST NIGHT'S
"THE NATIONAL" WE HEARD FROM
EVELYN KORKMAZ, AN INDIGENOUS
WOMAN WHO ATTENDED AN INDIGENOUS
RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL IN ONTARIO.
SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS GANG RAPED
BY BOYS IN HER COMMUNITY AFTER
THEY HAD BEEN ABUSED BY PRIESTS
AND NUNS.
TODAY SHE IN ROME SHE DEMANDED
COMPENSATION FROM THE POPE THAT
CANADIAN CATHOLIC GROUPS WERE
PROMISED
AS PART OF A RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL
SETTLEMENT.
>> I WOULD ALSO LIKE HIM TO
RELEASE THESE DOCUMENTS OF ABUSE
AND TO LET US RE-WRITE THE
CANADIAN HISTORY.
THE TRUE CANADIAN HISTORY.
>> Andrew: CATHOLIC GROUPS RAN
MORE THAN HALF OF CANADA'S
RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS.
NOW OUR THOMAS DAIGLE HAD A
CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH CARDINAL
MARC OUELLET.
HE MEETS REGULARLY WITH THE POPE
AND HE SAYS THAT HE SEES GREAT
PROMISE IN THE CONFERENCE ON
CLERGY ABUSE.
>> I THINK THAT IT IS A GREAT
SIGN OF HOPE FOR THE VICTIMS OF
SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CHURCH
BECAUSE IT IS REALLY A SIGN
OF -- THAT THEIR PAIN IS
ACKNOWLEDGED.
AND THAT THERE IS A REAL WILL TO
CHANGE, NOT ONLY IN SOME AREA
BUT IN THE WHOLE CHURCH.
>> Andrew: POPE FRANCIS HAS
ADMITTED TO MISHANDLING THE
ISSUE OF CLERGY ABUSE BOTH AS
ARCHBISHOP OF ARGENTINA AND THEN
AS POPE.
THE CONFERENCE STARTS TOMORROW
WITH 190 CHURCH LEADERS FROM
AROUND THE WORLD IS BEING SEEN
AS HIS
EFFORT TO SET THINGS RIGHT.
>> Rosemary: UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL"... ARE THEY CRIMINALS
LOCKED BEHIND BARS OR HOSTAGES
OF THE KREMLIN?
CHRIS BROWN SPEAKS TO THE
FAMILIES OF UKRAINIAN SAILORS
TRAPPED IN PRISON IN RUSSIA.
>> Ian: AND A LITTLE LATER, THE
STORY BEHIND A MOMENT OF
COMPASSION IS OUR "MOMENT OF THE
DAY."
>> HE WALKED IN THERE AND THEY
JUST, YOU KNOW, CHEERED AND
CLAPPED AND FIST PUMPED AND
CHANTED HIS NAME.
IT WAS JUST CRAZY AND AWESOME.
>> ARCHIE!
ARCHIE!

>> YADA, YADA WAS A GREAT ANSWER
TO OUR CONCERNS.
>> Ian: TODAY THE ONTARIO
GOVERNMENT DISCUSSED AUTISM
FUNDING AND CONSERVATIVE M.P.P.
RANDY HILLIER SAID "YADA, YADA,
YADA" AND PARENTS FELT THAT IT
WAS DID DIRECTED DISMISSIVELY BY
HIM.
HE WAS SUSPENDED FROM CAUCUS BUT
HILLIER SAID THAT IT WAS
INTENDED FOR THE N.D.P. CRITIC.
>> IF ANYBODY BELIEVED THAT I
WAS SAYING THAT TO FAMILIES,
THEN I WOULD DEEPLY APOLOGISE
FOR THAT.
>> Ian: HILLIER ADDED THAT HE IS
NOT SURE WHAT THE SUSPENSION
MEANS BUT HE'S CONFIDENT THAT
THE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED.
>>> THE "UNITED WE ROLL" CONVOY
IS HEADED HOME AFTER TWO DAYS OF
PROTESTS ON PARLIAMENT HILL.
THE RALLIES WERE TO SUPPORT THE
ENERGY INDUSTRY BUT DIFFERENT
PEOPLE HAD DIFFERENT CAUSES.
SOME THERE EXPRESSED
ANTI-IMMIGRATION SENTIMENTS.
THE PROTESTERS DID NOT GET THE
MEETING THEY WANTED WITH THE
PRIME MINISTER BUT SAY THEY ARE
PLANNING TO BE BACK IN THE
SUMMER.
>>> A MASSIVE FIRE IN THE
BANGLADESHI CAPITAL OF DHAKA HAS
KILLED 56 PEOPLE AND LEFT MANY
MORE INJURED.
THE DEATH TOLL IS EXPECTED TO
CLIMB.
THE BLAZE BROKE OUT IN A
BUILDING THAT WAS USED AS A
CHEMICAL WAREHOUSE.
FIREFIGHTERS HAVE BEEN WORKING
TO CONTROL THE FLAMES, HAMPERED
BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE WATER IN
THE AREA.
IT'S NOT CLEAR WHAT CAUSED THIS
FIRE.
>> Rosemary: THE CONFLICT
BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE
RARELY MAKES HEADLINES BUT IT'S
TAKEN MORE THAN 13,000 LIVES
OVER FIVE YEARS.
A HOT WATER ON A SLOW BOIL.

RUSSIAN-BACKED SEPARATISTS FIGHT
IN UKRAINE'S EAST.
THE WORDS OF A SO-CALLED
CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT BELIED BY
BULLETS.
WHILE UKRAINE'S ARMY USES
U.S.-SUPPLIED WEAPONS TO BATTLE
THOSE SEPARATISTS ON LAND, ITS
NAVY RUNS DRILLS, PREPARING FOR
MORE CONFRONTATIONS AT SEA.
UKRAINIANS HAVE REASON TO FEAR A
RUSSIAN NAVAL ATTACK.
THREE MONTHS AGO THE TENSIONS
IN THE BLACK SEA
IGNITED TO A FULL BLOWN
INTERNATIONAL CRISIS.
RUSSIAN SHIPS FIRE ON AND SEIZED
THREE SMALLER UKRAINIAN VESSELS.
THE SAILORS ABOARD WERE ARRESTED
AND TAKEN TO RUSSIA WHERE
THEY REMAIN EFFECTIVELY
POLITICAL PRISONERS.
OUR CHRIS BROWN MET SOME OF THE
SAILORS' FAMILIES AND IN THIS
"DISPATCH FROM UKRAINE" THEY
EXPRESSED CONCERN FOR THEIR SONS
AND THEIR COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: RUSSIAN
PROSECUTORS SAY THAT THESE
UKRAINIAN SAILORS ARE CRIMINALS.
BUT THE FAMILIES SAY THEY'RE
MORE LIKE HOSTAGES.
THE MAN ON THE LEFT IN THE CAGE
IS YURI BEZYAZICHNY.
ON THE FAR RIGHT IS SERGEI
CHULIBA.
THEY WERE IN A MOSCOW COURTROOM
PLEADING TO BE FREED.
BUT THE JUDGES HIRED AND WORKING
ON BEHALF OF RUSSIA'S SECRET
POLICE WOULD HAVE NOTHING OF IT.
AS THEY WERE BEING MARCHED BACK
TO PRISON YURI'S TRAUMATIZED
MOTHER LYUBA BROKE THROUGH THE
SECURITY PERIMETER TO HUG HER
SON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
MONTHS, BUT IT WAS OVER IN
SECONDS.
SERGEI'S MOM ALINA WAS OVERCOME
WITH EMOTION AFTER SEEING HER
SON AS A PRISONER.
THE YOUNG MEN WERE CAPTURED BY
RUSSIA IN LATE NOVEMBER AFTER
THIS NOW NOTORIOUS NAVAL
CONFRONTATION NEAR THE DISPUTED
CRIMEAN PENINSULA.
IT SAW VESSELS RAMMED AND SHOTS
FIRED AND 24 UKRAINIAN CREW
MEMBERS SEIZED.
THEY HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED AND
NOW PAWNS IN A LARGER GLOBAL
CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE PUTIN
GOVERNMENT AND THE WEST.
UNTIL NOW THEIR FAMILIES HAVE
STAYED SILENT FEARING REPRISALS
AGAINST THEIR SONS.
BUT AS THE WEEKS IN CAPTIVITY
TURNED TO MONTHS, ALINA, LYUBA
AND THEIR FAMILIES AGREED TO
TALK TO US.
AN HOUR OR SO DRIVE FROM THE
CONTESTED PENINSULA OF CRIMEA IS
KAKHOVKA, SERGEI'S HOMETOWN
WHERE LYUBA AND HER HUSBAND,
ROMAN, LIVE.

FAMILY MEMBERS TO YURI'S
APARTMENT.

THE ANGER SHE FEELS AT HIS
CAPTORS.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: ODESSA IS THE
HEADQUARTERS OF UKRAINE'S SMALL
BLACK SEA NAVY, NOW DOWN TO JUST
A HANDFUL OF VESSELS.
THE MEN SAILED FROM HERE, AND
LYUBA AND ROMAN SAID THAT THEIR
SON TOLD
THEM THAT HE WAS TAKING THEIR
SHIP TO A NEW BASE THAT MEANT
GOING UNDER THE NEW BRIDGE TO
CRIMEA.
NO ONE EXPECTED IT TO BE
ANYTHING BUT A ROUTINE TRIP.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: SERGEI WAS ON THE
TUGBOAT.
YURI WAS ON ONE OF TWO ARTILLERY
SHIPS.
THIS WIDELY CIRCULATED VIDEO WAS
SHOT BY SAILORS ON THE RUSSIAN
WARSHIPS THAT INTERCEPTED THEM.

ORDERED THE UKRAINIANS TO STOP.
WHEN THEY DIDN'T, THEY RAMMED
THE TUG.

BLOCKED THEIR PASSAGE UNDER THE
BRIDGE, FORCING THE UKRAINIANS
TO TURN AROUND WHICH IS WHEN THE
RUSSIAN NAVY OPENED FIRE.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: TRAGEDY HAD
ALREADY STRUCK THIS FAMILY.
ALINA'S HUSBAND, AN OFFICER IN
UKRAINE'S ARMY, WAS KILLED LAST
YEAR IN THE CONFLICT IN EASTERN
UKRAINE.
A MONTH AFTER THE SAILORS WERE
SEIZED RUSSIA'S PRESIDENT STOOD
HIS GROUND.
VLADIMIR PUTIN LAID THE BLAME ON
UKRAINE, SUGGESTING THEY
SACRIFICED THEIR OWN SAILORS TO
WHIP UP ANTI-RUSSIAN ANGER ON
THE EVE OF A UKRAINIAN ELECTION.
>> [SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: THE SAILORS COULD
FACE A SIX-YEAR SENTENCE FOR
ILLEGALLY ENTERING RUSSIAN
TERRITORY.
ONE OF THE SAILORS' LAWYERS
CAN'T SAY WHEN HE THINKS THEY'LL
GET OUT.
>> THIS THIS CASE THEY ARE
XREETED AS EXCEPTIONAL ONES AND
THERE ARE GOOD
GROUNDS TO BELIEVE THAT RUSSIA
BREAKS INTERNATIONAL LAW BY
PUTTING THESE PEOPLE ON TRIAL
THE WAY THEY ARE DOING IT RIGHT
NOW.
>> Reporter: LYUBA AND ROMAN
BELIEVE THAT THEIR SON WILL BE
FORGOTTEN AS THEY MOVE ON TO
SOME OTHER ISSUE AND THAT'S WHY
THEY WANTED TO TALK TO US.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> [speaking foreign language]
>> Reporter: THEIR ANGUISHED
WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN
SEEMS SET TO STRETCH INTO THE
SPRING.
UNTIL HE'S HOME ALINA
SAYS SHE'LL COME TO YURI'S
APARTMENT TO WATER HIS PLANTS
AND ROMAN AND LYUBA WILL KEEP
SETTING HIS PLACE AT THEIR
DINNER TABLE.
CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS, IN
KAKHOVKA, UKRAINE.
>> Rosemary: THERE'S NO END IN
SIGHT FOR THE SAILORS' PLIGHT OR
FOR THE WAR IN UKRAINE BUT THE
UKRAINE PRESIDENT TODAY SAID
THAT HE SUPPORTS THE IDEA OF A
PEACEKEEPING MISSION
AT THE FRONT AND THAT'S AN
OPTION THAT THE KREMLIN HAS BEEN
OPEN UP TO IN THE PAST.
>> Andrew: "THE MOMENT OF THE
DAY" IS UP NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL" BUT FIRST...
>> "IN CASE YOU MISSED IT,"
CANADIAN INDY CAR DRIVER ROBERT
WICKENS JUST PASSED A MILESTONE.
WICKENS WAS ABLE TO STAND RIGHT
INTO THE ARMS OF HIS FIANCÉE
CARLY WOODS.
>> IT'S SO CRAZY THAT YOU
COULDN'T DO THIS BEFORE.
>> Andrew: IT'S HARD TO
EXPRESS HOW HUGE AN ACHIEVEMENT
THAT IS.
SIX MONTHS AFTER A CRASH THAT
BROKE HIS SPINE AND LEFT HIM
PARALYSED.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE
HOLDS FOR ME.
IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY LONG
ROAD.
>> Andrew: WICKENS AND WOODS
DOCUMENTED EACH STEP ON THAT
ROAD, AN
INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF PAIN AND
DETERMINATION AND DEVOTION.
>> I'M ON THE BIKE.
>> Andrew: HIS FAMILY AND
FRIENDS ALWAYS CLOSE BY AS HE
TRAINED NOT JUST TO HEAL, BUT TO
RACE AGAIN.
HE SAID IN TODAY'S POST THAT HE
KNEW THAT HE COULD STAND FOR A
FULL WEEK BUT WANTED TO SURPRISE
HIS BRIDE-TO-BE.
>> LOOK.
HE'S STANDING!
>> WE'RE DISTANCING.
>> Andrew: HIS GOAL?
TO DANCE BY THIS SEPTEMBER AT

>> Andrew: SO A PEEWEE HOCKEY
TOURNAMENT ON SUNDAY WAS A
REAL CHALLENGE FOR ARCHIE WIBLEY
WIBLEY.
HE'S 8 YEARS OLD FROM NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND PLAYS GOALIE AND
HE FACED AN ABSOLUTE BAAGE.
-- BARRAGE.
NOW EVENTUALLY ARCHIE'S TEAM
LOST 10-0 BUT THERE'S A LOT MORE
TO THIS STORY THAN JUST THE
FINAL SCORE.
FROM THE STAND A TEAM, THE
DARTMOUTH WHALERS, WATCHED
ARCHIE PLAY AND WHAT HAPPENED
NEXT IS TONIGHT'S "MOMENT."
>> HE WAS MAKING SAVE AFTER SAVE
AFTER SAVE AND THE TEAM FROM THE
DARTMOUTH WHALERS HAD A GAME
DIRECTLY AFTER HIM AND SO THEY
WERE GETTING READY, YOU KNOW,
THEY WERE ALL SUITED UP IN THEIR
GEAR AND THEY WERE STANDING
BEHIND THE GLASS AND OUR BOYS
VERY QUICKLY REALISED HOW HARD
HE WAS WORKING.
>> HE WAS MAKING SAVE AFTER
SAVE.
AND I COULD HEAR HER TALKING TO
HIM LIKE, YOU KNOW, GOOD JOB AND
SUPPORTING HIM.
AND SHE WAS USING HIS NAME AND I
SAID IS HIS NAME ARCHIE AND SHE
SAID, YES.
AND I SAID YOU MUST BE HIS MOM.
AND I TOLD THE BOYS WHAT HIS
NAME WAS, AT WHICH POINT THEY
STARTED
CHEERING HIS NAME.
>> THEY STARTED CHEERING FOR HIM
AND CHANTING HIS NAME AND
BANGING ON THE GLASS AND STUFF
AND IT WAS JUST GREAT.
>> OUR BOYS GO BACK TO THE
DRESSING ROOM TO GET DRESSED AND
THEY WERE STILL IN THERE
CHANTING HIS NAME.
AND I ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD
LIKE TO COME IN AND MEET OUR
TEAM.
>> ARCHIE!
ARCHIE!
>> HE WALKED IN AND THEY JUST
CHEERED AND CLAPPED AND FIST
BUMPED AND CHANTED HIS NAME.
IT WAS CRAZY AND AWESOME.
IT JUST REALLY RESTORES MY FAITH
IN HUMAN GOODNESS.
>> Ian: NO KIDDING.
AS SOMEONE WHO SPENT A LOT OF
TIME AT RINKS WHEN MY KIDS WERE
A LOT YOUNGER, A COUPLE THING
COMES TO MIND.
FIRST OF ALL,
TO BE A GOALIE AT A TOURNAMENT
GAME WHERE YOUR TEAM IS
OUTMATCHED THAT HAS TO BE THE
LONELIEST PLACE FOR A KID TO BE.
BUT THE OTHER THING IS THAT ME
-- PEEWEE TEAM, THE DARTMOUTH
WHALERS,
THEY'RE 11 AND 12 YEARS OLD, I
DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S A LOT
OF PEEWEE TEAMS THAT WOULD HAVE
RESPONDED THE WAY THAT THESE
KIDS DID.
AND EVERYONE WAS GENUINELY
TOUCHED BY IT.
>> Rosemary: AND CORRECT ME IF
I'M WRONG BUT 10-0 WHICH IS WHAT
THE END OF THE GAME WAS, THAT'S
A VERY HIGH SCORE FOR HOCKEY.
BUT ARCHIE DID MANAGE TO STOP A
LOT MORE SHOTS SO I WAS
VERY IMPRESSED WITH THAT WHOLE
STORY.
>> Andrew: AND, IAN, I WILL
SAY THAT I THINK THAT YOU NAILED
IT RIGHT ON.
BECAUSE ANYONE WHO
HAS THE GRITS AND RESOLVE TO
PLAY GOALIE, PERIOD, HAS MY
RESPECT.
ON A GOOD DAY YOU HAVE TO FEEL
GOOD.
BUT ON THE BAD DAYS IT'S GOT TO
BE SO TOUGH.
ARCHIE, IF YOU ARE WATCHING, A,
IT'S PAST YOUR BEDTIME SO YOU
SHOULD PROBABLY GO TO BED.
BUT, B, KEEP PLAYING AND KEEP
SMILING AND KEEP GETTING BETTER.
YOU'RE AMAZING.
>>> THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
THIS FEBRUARY 20th.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
>> Rosemary: GOODNIGHT.
>> Ian: GOODNIGHT.
