 >> Lien:  TONIGHT ON CBC 
VANCOUVER NEWS.
>> THE
HOME SALES SURGE.
[ We apologize for the technical
difficulties ]
[♪♪♪]
>> Lien:  GOOD EVENING.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
THE PROVINCE HIT ITS HIGHEST 
NUMBER OF ACTIVE COVID-19 CASES 
SINCE MAY, BACK IN STAGE ONE OF 
THE PANDEMIC RESPONSE.
351 ACTIVE CASES NOW.
THAT'S JUST ONE SIGN OF CONCERN 
FROM TODAY'S UPDATE ON THE 
VIRUS.
SIX PEOPLE ARE IN CRITICAL CARE.
THAT'S THE HIGHEST NUMBER IN SIX
WEEKS.
A TOTAL OF 9 PEOPLE ARE NOW IN 
HOSPITAL.
47 NEW CASES HAVE BEEN 
CONFIRMED.
THE BIGGEST JUMP SEEN IN THE 
FRASER HEALTH AND VANCOUVER 
COASTAL HEALTH REGIONS.
THE SILVER LINING, THOUGH.
THERE WERE NO NEW DEATHS IN THE 
PAST 24 HOURS.
BC'S TOTAL REMAINS AT 195 
PEOPLE. 
>> Dan:  NO NEW OUTBREAKS HAVE 
BEEN ANNOUNCED.
BUT A NATION SOUTH OF KITIMAT IS
LOOKING ITSELF DOWN DUE TO A 
SUSPECTED CASE OF THE VIRUS.
RESIDENTS ARE ASKED TO WEAR A 
MASK AT ALL TIMES IF THEY LEAVE 
THE HOUSE AND TO ONLY LEAVE 
THEIR HOUSES IF THEY ABSOLUTELY 
HAVE TO.
>> Lien:  PROPER CONTACT TRACING
OF THE VIRUS BECOMES MORE 
IMPORTANT, WHICH IS WHY THE 
PROVINCE IS FORMALLY ASKING FOR 
FEDERAL HELP IN ACCESSING 
CRITICAL FLIGHT DATA DURING THE 
PANDEMIC.
BC'S TRANSPORTATION MINISTER 
SENT A LETTER THIS MORNING, A 
DAY AFTER Dr. BONNIE HENRY 
ADDRESSED THE CHALLENGES THEY 
ARE FACING.
AT ISSUE IS JUST HOW MUCH 
INFORMATION THE PROVINCIAL 
GOVERNMENT IS GETTING FROM THE 
AIRLINES.
HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE HOPING TO 
GET MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT 
PASSENGERS IN ORDER TO BETTER 
FACILITATE CONTACT TRACING, AND 
THAT FLOW OF INFORMATION NEEDS 
TO BE FACILITATED BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
>> I AM REGULARLY REMINDED BY 
THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY THEY ARE 
FEDERALLY REGULATED, BUT 
COVID-19 ISN'T FEDERALLY 
REGULATED OR PROVINCIALLY 
REGULATED.
IT JUST IS.
CONTACT TRACING AND THE BETTER 
AND MORE INFORMATION WE GET, THE
BETTER AND MORE QUICKLY, THE 
BETTER WE CAN KEEP THE PUBLIC 
SAFE.
THAT'S IN EVERYBODY'S INTEREST. 
>> Lien:  IN THEIR DEFENCE, AIR 
CANADA SAYS IT'S BAFFLED BY Dr. 
HENRY'S COMMENTS.
THE AIRLINE SAYS IT HASN'T HAD A
REQUEST FROM BC SINCE MARCH.
WESTJET SAYS IT HASN'T HAD ANY 
REPORTED CASES OF TRANSMISSION 
ALSO SINCE MARCH.
>> Dan:  DESPITE COVID-19 
GRINDING MANY PARTS OF OUR 
ECONOMY TO A HALT, ONE INDUSTRY 
APPEARS TO BE DOING VERY WELL.
REAL ESTATE.
>> Lien:  AS JOE BALLARD 
REPORTS, HOME SALES HAVE 
REBOUNDED ON THE LOWER MAINLAND,
AND THEY ARE RACKING UP SOME BIG
NUMBERS. 
>> PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. 
>> Reporter:  MANY IN THE 
INDUSTRY WERE BRACING FOR A 
ROUGH SUMMER AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE PANDEMIC, BUT HOME SALE 
NUMBERS FROM JULY ARE TELLING A 
DIFFERENT STORY.
IN GREATER VANCOUVER, BUYERS 
PURCHASED MORE THAN 3100 HOMES 
IN THE LAST MONTH, A JUMP OF 
MORE THAN 22% COMPARED TO THE 
SAME TIME LAST YEAR, AND BOTH 
REALTORS AND THEIR CLIENTS HAVE 
HAD TO ADAPT TO A NEW WAY OF 
BUSINESS.
>> BUYERS ARE MORE COMFORTABLE 
WITH ALL THE PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE
BEEN PUT IN 
>> -- A PROMISELING SIGN, HE 
SAYS, FOR BOTH BUYERS AND 
SELLERS.
JOE BALLARD, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER. 
>> Lien:  BC PARAMEDICS 
RESPONDED TO MORE OVERDOSE CALLS
IN JULY THAN ANY MONTH IN THE 
PROVINCE'S RECORDED HISTORY.
AN AVERAGE OF 87 PER DAY 
PAINTING A GRIM PICTURE OF THE 
OVERDOSE CRISIS AMID THE 
PANDEMIC.
JUST OVER 2700 CALLS COMPARED TO
THE MONTHLY AVERAGE AROUND 
2,000.
VANCOUVER SAW THE MOST CALLS 
WITH 739 FOLLOWED BY SURREY WITH
244 AND VICTORIA WITH 139.
THE BC EMERGENCY HEALTH SERVICE 
SAYS THE SURVIVAL RATE WAS 
AROUND 95%, BUT THEY DID NOT 
REPORT DEATH STATISTICS, WHICH 
IS THE JOB OF THE BC CORONER'S 
SERVICE. 
>> Dan:  METRO VANCOUVER'S 
LATEST HOMELESS COUNT SHOWS MORE
OLDER PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT A PLACE
TO LIVE WHILE YOUNGER PEOPLE 
HAVE FOUND HOUSING.
BUT THE COUNT WAS DONE AT THE 
BEGINNING OF MARCH RIGHT BEFORE 
COVID-19 HIT WITH FULL FORCE.
SO THE NUMBERS MAY NOT REFLECT 
THE CURRENT REALITY.
THE COUNT SHOWS 3,634 PEOPLE 
WERE HOMELESS, ABOUT THE SAME 
NUMBER AS 2017, BUT THE NEW 
FIGURES INDICATE THOSE OLDER 
THAN 55 NOW MAKE UP ONE QUARTER 
OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION.
THAT'S UP 2% FROM 2017.
BUT THE NUMBER OF THOSE LIVING 
UNDER 25 ON THE STREETS HAS BEEN
CUT IN HALF FROM 16 TO 8%.
VANCOUVER, LANGLEY, AND SURREY 
RECORDED THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF 
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING 
HOMELESSNESS.
>> Lien:  VANCOUVER POLICE ARE 
LOOKING FOR A SUSPECT WHO WAS 
ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN A VIOLENT 
SEXUAL ASSAULT IN OPPENHEIMER 
PARK IN APRIL.
SHE FAILED TO RETURN TO A 
HALFWAY HOUSE, AND NOW POLICE 
ARE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO FIND
HER.
33-YEAR-OLD NICOLE EDWARDS AND 
ANOTHER SUSPECT FACE 15 CHARGES 
IN RELATION TO THE OPPENHEIMER 
INCIDENT.
SHE WAS LAST SEEN JULY 20TH AT A
HALFWAY HOUSE IN SURREY.
SHE IS DESCRIBED AS 5'3", AROUND
125 POUNDS.
EDWARDS HAS BROWN HAIR AND A TOO
ON HER NECK.
ANYONE WITH INFORMATION IS ASKED
TO CALL VPD IMMEDIATELY.
[♪♪♪]
>> Dan:  A STATE OF EMERGENCY 
HAS NOW BEEN DECLARED IN BEIRUT 
AFTER YESTERDAY'S DEVASTATING 
EXPLOSION.
>> Lien:  THE LEBANESE 
GOVERNMENT IS CALLING OF THE 
BLAST A CATASTROPHE. 
>> Dan:  REPORTER REBECCA 
COLLARD IS IN BEIRUT WITH THE 
LATEST ON WHAT'S HAPPENING 
THERE.
>> Reporter:  I'M VERY CLOSE 
NOW, ABOUT 500 METRES AWAY FROM 
BEIRUT'S PORT.
IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 24 HOURS 
SINCE THE EXPLOSION TOOK PLACE, 
AND THERE ARE STILL VOLUNTEERS 
JUST CLEANING UP THE RUBBLE AND 
GLASS OFF THE STREETS.
IT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY A DISASTER
STILL DOWN HERE.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE 
SEARCH-AND-RESCUE CREWS ARE 
STILL GOING THROUGH BUILDINGS IN
THIS MASSIVE RADIUS THAT HAS 
BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS BLAST, 
LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE
INJURED AND TRYING TO TAKE THEM 
TO HOSPITALS HERE IN BEIRUT.
WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE 
HOSPITALS ARE COMPLETELY 
OVERWHELMED.
THE GOVERNMENT IS NOW SAYING AS 
MANY AS 5,000 PEOPLE ARE 
INJURED, MORE THAN 130 PEOPLE 
ARE DEAD, AND THAT NUMBER, 
UNFORTUNATELY, IS LIKELY TO RISE
THROUGHOUT TONIGHT AND POSSIBLY 
EVEN INTO TOMORROW AS MORE 
PEOPLE ARE UNACCOUNTED FOR AND 
AS THESE RESCUE CREWS CONTINUE 
TO GO THROUGH THESE BUILDINGS.
ALL DAY TODAY VOLUNTEERS WERE 
COMING FROM ALL AROUND THE 
COUNTRY TO BEIRUT TO HELP CLEAN 
UP THE STREETS, BECAUSE I DON'T 
KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, 
EVEN THIS -- THIS IS NOT AS 
BADLY AS AFFECTED BUT THIS IS 
ALL JUST GLASS.
ALL OVER THE GROUND.
THERE IS BARRIERS SET UP HERE.
THERE IS -- DOWN THE STREET, 
THERE IS MANY SHOPS THAT HAVE 
THEIR WINDOWS SMASHED OUT AND 
EVEN APARTMENTS IN THIS 
NEIGHBOURHOOD, WHICH IS ABOUT 4 
KILOMETRES AWAY FROM THE BLAST 
SITE.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE I'M TALKING 
TO ARE SAYING THEY ABSOLUTELY 
BLAME THE GOVERNMENT AND THEY 
PLAN, AS SOON AS THIS RUBBLE IS 
PICKED UP, THAT THEY ARE GOING 
TO BE BACK IN THE STREETS, 
PROTESTING, BECAUSE THEY SAY 
THIS IS THE SORT OF 
MISMANAGEMENT AND CORRUPTION AND
NEGLECT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN 
SUFFERING FOR DECADES AND THEY 
ARE NOT GOING TO STOP THEIR 
PROTESTS.
THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE ON.
REBECCA COLLARD, CBC NEWS, 
BEIRUT.
>> Lien:  THE TRAGIC AFTERMATH 
OF THAT DEADLY EXPLOSION IN 
BEIRUT IS BEING FELT AROUND THE 
WORLD AND HERE IN BC.
>> Dan:  ONE SURVIVOR WAS IN THE
PROCESS OF JOINING HER HUSBAND 
HERE IN VANCOUVER. 
>> Lien:  AS ANDREA ROSS 
REPORTS, SHE SAYS A DREAM OF A 
BETTER LIFE HAS TAKEN ANOTHER 
HIT. 
>> I WAS SCREAMING, I DON'T WANT
TO DIE, PLEASE GOD, BE WITH ME.
>> Reporter:  SHE WAS AT HOME 
WITH HER HUSBAND'S FAMILY WHEN 
THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED.
INITIALLY, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS 
AN EARTHQUAKE. 
>> EVERYONE WAS, LIKE -- 
EVERYONE WAS SCREAMING AND 
RUNNING FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE 
LIVING ROOM. 
>> Reporter:  THEN SHE REALIZED 
IT WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING SHE'D 
EVER EXPERIENCED.
>> BIG, PINK CLOUD, AND I DON'T 
KNOW, BUT, I MEAN, UNTIL NOW, 
I'M SHIVERING.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENED 
LAST NIGHT. 
>> Reporter:  THE FAMILY LIVES 
JUST A FIVE MINUTE DRIVE FROM 
THE BLAST BUT MIRACULOUSLY NONE 
OF THEM WERE INJURED.
SHE APPLIED FOR PERMANENT 
RESIDENCY IN CANADA IN MARCH, 
HOPING TO JOIN HER HUSBAND IN 
VANCOUVER.
BUT SHE HAS HEARD NOTHING SINCE 
THE PANDEMIC BEGAN, AND SHE SAYS
SHE IS DESPERATE TO LEAVE A 
COUNTRY SHE FEELS HAS FAILED ITS
CITIZENS.
>> IT'S REALLY SAD, ANDREA.
I'M JUST 24.
AND YOU FEEL LIKE EVERY PLAN IN 
YOUR LIFE, GONE.
NOT BECAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION 
ONLY.
WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS,
LIKE, YEARS BEFORE.
YEARS AND YEARS.
THE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPTED. 
>> Reporter:  FARAGE LEFT 
LEBANON FOR CANADA IN 1971.
HIS FAMILY IS STILL THERE, AND 
HE SAYS THEIR HOMES WERE BADLY 
DAMAGED IN THE EXPLOSION. 
>> I FELT LIKE IT'S ONE OF THE 
BIGGEST TRAGEDIES THAT LEBANON 
EVER WENT THROUGH.
IT'S TOO SAD.
WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH 
TRAGEDY AFTER TRAGEDY FOR THE 
LAST 30, 40 YEARS.
AND STILL GOING.
>> Reporter:  THE COUNTRY IS 
FACING ECONOMIC COLLAPSE THAT 
HAS BEEN WORSENED BY COVID-19.
HE SAYS IT WILL TAKE A GLOBAL 
EFFORT FOR LEBANON TO RECOVER 
FROM THE LATEST BLOW.
>> WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP.
WE WILL REBUILD BEIRUT AND 
BEIRUT WILL COME BACK.
WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE GOOD 
INTERNATIONAL LEADERS ALL OVER 
THE WORLD. 
>> Reporter:  OTHERS ARE LOOKING
FOR HELP ON A MORE LOCAL LEVEL.
>> I WOULD HIKE TO CALL ON -- ON
THE BC MINISTRY OF HEALTH, ON 
THE BC GOVERNMENT, ON THE 
CANADIAN NGO, BC CHARITIES TO 
START HELPING LEBANON. 
>> Reporter:  ADRIAN DIX WAS 
ASKED TODAY ABOUT COMMITMENTS TO
HELPING LEBANON, AND HE SAID 
YES, AND THAT HE WOULD CONSULT 
THE PREMIER ON THE NEXT STEPS. 
>> WE'RE LIVING IN AN AGE -- AND
I THINK SOME PEOPLE IN SOME 
PARTS OF THE WORLD FORGET THIS, 
WHERE EVENTS IN ONE PART OF THE 
WORLD AFFECT ALL OF US.
>> Reporter:  ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN
A DIFFICULT YEAR.
ANDREA ROSS, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Dan:  MORE ON THE DESTRUCTION
OF BEIRUT COMING UP AT THE 
BOTTOM OF THE HOUR, AND TONIGHT,
A PLAN AT THE VANCOUVER ART 
GALLERY.
MORE ON THAT GATHERING ON OUR 
LATE NEWS AT 11. 
>> Lien:  BUSINESSES LOOKING TO 
BUY ELECTRIC VEHICLES COULD SEEN
BE ELIGIBLE FOR REBATES WORTH AS
MUCH AS $50,000.
THE PROVINCE ANNOUNCED $2 
MILLION IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING 
FOR THE CLEAN BC INITIATIVE 
PROGRAM TODAY.
FROM ELECTRIC BUSES TO 
MOTORCYCLES AND TRUCKS, THEY ARE
ALL COVERED.
THE REBATES RANGE FROM $1,700 TO
$50,000 PER VEHICLE.
THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR 
BUSINESSES, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, 
AND NON-PROFITS PURCHASING FIVE 
OR FEWER VEHICLES.
>> OUR LEADERSHIP IN THE 
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SECTOR NOT ONLY
SUPPORTS OUR CLEAN BC GOALS, IT 
SUPPORTS THE CREATION OF GOOD 
JOBS HERE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
>> Lien:  HARBOUR AIR HAS 
ALREADY USED THE REBATE TO BUY A
ZERO-EMISSION SHUTTLE BUS. 
>> Announcer:  THE WEATHER 
UPDATE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY 
FORTISBC.
USING MORE ENERGY THESE DAYS?
WE HAVE GOT ENERGY-SAVING TIPS, 
EASY UPGRADES, HOW-TO VIDEOS AND
MORE.
>> Dan:  TIME FOR THE FIRST 
CHECK IN WITH THE WEATHER.
METEOROLOGIST -- EASY FOR ME TO 
SAY -- JOHANNA WAGSTAFFE NOW 
WITH THE FORECAST.
GARDENERS HAPPEN WITH A BIT OF A
REFRESH, JO.
>> Johanna:  I DON'T THINK IT'S 
JUST GARDENERS BUT PARTICULARLY 
GARDENERS.
THINGS ARE LIKELY MIGHTY DRY OUT
THERE.
RAIN IS FINALLY COMING.
ABOUT IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW, 
BUT A ONE-DAY HIT WE'RE GETTING,
BUT IT'S MOVING IN QUICKLY.
LET ME START OFF WITH A LOOK AT 
THE TEMPERATURES BECAUSE IT IS 
ANOTHER GORGEOUS VERY 
SUMMER-LIKE DAY ACROSS THE SOUTH
COAST.
25 AT YVR, FEELING MORE LIKE 27,
28 IF YOU ARE AWAY BY THE WATER.
JUST BY A FEW BLOCKS, EVEN.
SO ANOTHER HOT ONE OUT THERE.
THAT IS THANKS TO THIS HIGH 
PRESSURE, BUT CHECK OUT THAT 
COLD FRONT.
VERY QUICKLY TRACKING DOWN 
ACROSS THE ISLAND.
IN FACT, ALREADY BRINGING 
SHOWERS TO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL 
SECTIONS OF THE ISLAND, AND THAT
IS WHAT WE'LL BE FILLING IN FOR 
METRO VANCOUVER LATER ON 
TONIGHT.
SO LET ME JUST BREAK IT DOWN FOR
YOU.
I THINK WE'LL BE DRY THROUGH THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS BUT LOOK 
FOR INCREASING CLOUDS.
STILL ANOTHER MUGGY, HOT 
OVERNIGHT.
THE RAIN BEGINNING TO FILL IN.
MOST MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD 
AGREEMENT BETWEEN 12 AND 2 A.M.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHEN THE FIRST
RAIN WILL START.
FOLLOWING THE HEAVIEST IN 
QUOTATION MARKS AROUND 8 A.M. 
BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A SOAKER.
TALK ABOUT AMOUNTS COMING UP.
BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS, THIS 
SYSTEM IS ALREADY STARTING TO 
TAPER AND MAY GET SOME SUNNY 
BREAKS.
I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE AMOUNTS
AND WHAT THE RAIN WILL DO TO THE
INTERIOR, WHERE THEY ALSO NEED 
IT COMING UP, BUT BELIEVE IT OR 
NOT, THE RAIN WILL BE HERE IN 
THE NEXT 12 HOURS.
>> Lien:  OKAY.
WE'LL BE WATCHING FOR IT.NG 
THANKS FOR THAT, JO. 
>>> AND A REMINDER, YOU CAN 
WATCH THIS NEWSCAST LIVE ON CBC 
GEM.
THE FREE APP IS ALSO WHERE YOU 
CAN FIND OTHER CBC PROGRAMS. 
>> Dan:  CBC VANCOUVER IS ALSO 
ON YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, AND 
INSTAGRAM.
>> Lien:  COVID-19 VACCINE 
TRIALS ARE WELL UNDERWAY AROUND 
THE WORLD, AND CANADA HAS SIGNED
DEALS FOR MILLIONS OF DOSES ONCE
THEY ARE READY.
DETAILS COMING UP.
[♪♪♪]
>> Lien:  THANKS FOR WATCHING US
ONLINE, AD-FREE DURING THE 
REGULAR TV COMMERCIAL BREAKS. 
>> Dan:  AN EXCITING TRIP TO THE
DISNEY STORE TOOK A TURN 
RECENTLY FOR A GIRL.
SHE HAD TROUBLE WEARING A MASK 
INSIDE, SO HER FAMILY WAS ASKED 
TO LEAVE. 
>> Lien:  THE MOTHER SAYS THE 
STORE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 
UNDERSTANDING OF HER DAUGHTER'S 
CONDITION.
>> ELSA IS MY FAVOURITE. 
>> Reporter:  RUBY LOVES DISNEY.
HER ROOM STANDS AS A TESTAMENT 
TO THAT.
>> YES.
>> YEAH.
>> Reporter:  SHE RECENTLY LOST 
HER FIRST TOOTH AND HER MOTHER 
SARAH THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD
EXCUSE TO HEAD TO THE DISNEY 
STORE. 
>> THEY WANTED TO TAKE THE TOOTH
FAIRY MONEY AND GET A TOY WITH 
IT. 
>> Reporter:  EARLIER THIS WEEK,
THEY TOOK THE TWO-HOUR TRIP FROM
WINDSOR TO LONDON TO VISIT THE 
SHOP.
HER DAUGHTER STRUGGLES WEARING 
MASKS BECAUSE SHE HAS AUTISM.
IN LONDON, CHILDREN UNDER THE 
AGE OF 12 ARE EXEMPT FROM THE 
BYLAW AS ARE THOSE WITH 
UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS. 
>> BUT WE BROUGHT IT ANYWAY.
WE HAVE BEEN PRACTICING AT HOME.
>> Reporter:  AT THE ENTRANCE 
THEY WERE TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE 
TO SANITIZE THEIR HANDS AND WEAR
A MASK.
>> SO WE EXPLAINED TO THE WOMAN 
AT THE FRONT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE 
HAVE MY DAUGHTER -- HAS AUTISM, 
SO WE'RE -- SENSORY ISSUES.
SO THE WOMAN SAID TO TRY YOUR 
BEST AND GO AHEAD.
SHE KEPT IT ON FOR A COUPLE 
MINUTES AND THEN IT STARTED TO 
FALL UNDERNEATH HER NOSE.
SO WE KEPT TRYING TO FIX IT. 
>> Reporter:  THE FAMILY SAYS IT
WAS APPROACHED BY SEVERAL STAFF 
MEMBERS INFORMING THEM RUBY MUST
WEAR A MASK.
SHE SAYS SHE EXPLAINED HER 
DAUGHTER'S CIRCUMSTANCES EACH 
TIME, BUT AS SHE FOUND OUT, IT 
WAS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.
>> YEAH, SHE SAYS, I KNOW PEOPLE
ON THE SPECTRUM, SO THEY CAN 
WEAR A MASK.
SO SHE SHOULD AS WELL.
WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IS 
SHE IS 6 YEARS OLD.
SHE IS -- EVEN AT THAT AGE IN 
GENERAL, IF YOU ARE A TYPICAL 
CHILD, IT'S HARD TO WEAR.
FOR HER IT WAS A WHOLE OTHER 
ISSUE. 
>> Reporter:  EVEN SO, THEY 
TRIED TO KEEP THE MASK ON BUT 
EVENTUALLY IT CAME OFF 
ALTOGETHER, AND A STAFF MEMBER 
TOLD THEM THEY HAD FIVE MINUTES 
TO MAKE THEIR PURCHASES AND 
LEAVE THE STORE.
SHE SAYS SHE WANTED TO MAKE THE 
INCIDENT PUBLIC TO RAISE 
AWARENESS. 
>> I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THE 
PLATFORM THAT I DO HAVE AND, YOU
KNOW, TELL PEOPLE TO EDUCATE 
THEMSELVES, ASK QUESTIONS.
WE WILL ANSWER THEM IF YOU ASK.
>> Reporter:  WE DID ASK DISNEY 
ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND A 
SPOKESPERSON SAID "ALL OF THEIR 
STORES REQUIRE PEOPLE TO WEAR 
FACE COVERINGS AND THEY REGRET 
THE FAMILY WAS DISAPPOINTED." 
SHE SAYS THE STORE HAS INVITED 
THE FAMILY BACK, BUT SHE SAYS 
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
>> AN APOLOGY WOULD HAVE WENT A 
LONG WAY AND EVEN JUST -- YOU 
KNOW, WE'RE SPEAKING TO THE 
STAFF AND EDUCATING THEM, AND 
THEY DIDN'T DO THAT. 
>> Reporter:  JACOB BARKER, CBC 
NEWS, WINDSOR. 
>> Dan:  TOUGH SITUATION FOR A 
FAMILY.
WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT IF
YOU HAVE TO PUT ON A MASK, YOU 
PUT ON A MASK BECAUSE WE DON'T 
DEAL WITH THAT. 
>> Lien:  RIGHT.
I KNOW.
MANY OF US MAY NOT THINK ABOUT 
THE KIDS, IT'S TOUGH ENOUGH AND 
THEN A CHILD WITH CERTAIN 
CONDITIONS MAKES IT EVEN HARDER,
RIGHT?
>> Dan:  ABSOLUTELY. 
>> Lien:  M'MM-HMM.
STAY WITH US.

AROUND THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

>> Dan:  THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 
HAS NOW SIGNED DEALS WITH TWO 
BIG DRUG MAKERS TO HELP SECURE 
MILLIONS OF DOSES OF COVID-19 
VACCINES.
THE DEALS ARE WITH PFIZER AND 
MODERNA.
BOTH ARE ALREADY WORKING ON 
VACCINES.
EVAN DYER WITH MORE. 
>> WE ARE EXTREMELY PLEASED TO 
BE AMONG THE FIRST COUNTRIES TO 
ESTABLISH THESE AGREEMENTS.
>> Reporter:  THE TWO COMPANIES 
CANADA HAS CONTRACTED WITH, 
PFIZER AND MODERNA CAN BOTH SHOW
ENCOURAGING EARLY RESULTS.
PFIZER IS WORKING ON FOUR 
DIFFERENT VACCINE TRACKS THAT 
ALSO SHOW PROMISE.
>> SO WE HAVE GOT INITIAL HINTS 
OF A WINNING PRODUCT.
WE'RE JUST NOT -- WE'RE JUST NOT
THERE YET.
>> Reporter:  THE GOVERNMENT 
ISN'T SAYING HOW MUCH IT'S 
BUYING OR HOW MUCH IT'S PAYING.
>> THE INFORMATION THAT WE CAN 
REVEAL AT THE CURRENT TIME 
REGARDING DOSES IN PARTICULAR IS
BEING KEPT CONFIDENTIAL BECAUSE 
WE ARE TAKING A PRUDENT APPROACH
TO THE NEGOTIATIONS WHILE WE ARE
ENGAGED WITH OTHER SUPPLIERS.
>> Reporter:  BUT THE TERMS OF 
PFIZER'S DEAL WITH WASHINGTON 
ARE PUBLIC.
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WILL PAY 
PFIZER NEARLY 2 BILLION U.S. 
DOLLARS FOR 100 MILLION DOSES OF
VACCINE, WITH AN OPTION TO BUY 
HALF A BILLION MORE.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT CANADA HAS 
ORDERED 75 MILLION SYRINGES, OR 
ABOUT TWO FOR EVERY CANADIAN.
SHE SAYS GOVERNMENTS HAVE NO 
CHOICE TO COVER THEIR BETS AS 
BEST THEY CAN. 
>> LET'S SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, NINE 
MONTHS FROM NOW, IT BECOMES VERY
CLEAR THAT A VACCINE THAT WE 
DON'T HAVE, THAT WE DIDN'T 
PREORDER, TURNS OUT TO BE THE 
BEST VACCINE.
THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE IN LINE 
WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, TRYING TO 
GET A HANDLE ON IT. 
>> CANADA HAS BEEN BURNED 
BEFORE, WORKING WITH CANSINO ON 
A VACCINE, WITH TRIALS TO BE 
DONE IN THIS COUNTRY, ONLY TO 
HAVE THE GOVERNMENT OF CHINA 
BLOCK THE DELIVERY OF THAT DRUG 
TO CANADA EVER SINCE.
EVAN DYER, CBC NEWS, QUEBEC. 
>> Lien:  MANY CANADIANS SAY 
THEY WON'T BE FIRST IN LINE TO 
GET THE VACCINE, THOUGH.
A NEW SURVEY SHOWS AROUND A 
THIRD OF RESPONDENTS WANT TO 
HOLD OFF AND AS LAUREN PELLEY 
EXPLAINS, THAT COULD DERAIL 
EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE MOST 
VULNERABLE.
>> I WOULD GET THE FLU SHOT 
EVERY YEAR.
WHY WOULDN'T I GET A VACCINE IF 
THERE IS ONE. 
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO
CAUSE COMPLICATIONS LATER. 
>> Reporter:  ASK PEOPLE IF 
THEY'LL BE FIRST IN LINE FOR THE
COVID-19 VACCINES WILL. 
>> I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THE
VACCINE. 
>> Reporter:  RESPONSES ALL OVER
THE MAP. 
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE 
FIRST, YOU KNOW. 
>> Reporter:  A NEW ANGUS REID 
SURVEY FOUND THAT HALF OF 
CANADIANS SAY THEY'LL GET IT AS 
SOON AS IT'S AVAILABLE BUT 
AROUND A THIRD OF RESPONDENTS 
WANT TO WAIT A WHILE.
14% SAY THEY DON'T WANT TO GET 
VACCINATED AT ALL AND ANOTHER 8%
JUST AREN'T SURE. 
>> PEOPLE NEED TO WIDELY ACCEPT 
IT, AND WE KNOW FROM OTHER 
VACCINES THAT THERE IS A LOT OF 
DISCONTENT AND FEAR.
>> Reporter:  IN THIS CASE, FEAR
MAY STEM FROM JUST HOW QUICKLY 
COVID VACCINE CANDIDATES ARE 
BEING DEVELOPED AND TESTED.
THE SURVEY FOUND AMONG THOSE 
HESITANT ABOUT GETTING A 
VACCINE, THREE QUARTERS ARE 
WORRIED ABOUT POSSIBLE SIDE 
EFFECTS.
>> CLINICAL TRIALS, THE 
MONITORING BOARDS, WHICH REVIEW 
ALL OF THE DATA TO ENSURE THAT 
THE VACCINES ARE SAFE.
>> Reporter:  CANADIAN VACCINE 
EXPERTS STRESS ALL VACCINES ARE 
RIGOROUSLY TESTED ON THOUSANDS 
OF PEOPLE.
>> THOSE ARE BIG NUMBERS AND 
SHOULD ALLOW US TO GET A REALLY 
GOOD HANDLE ON SAFETY 
CONSIDERATIONS FOR -- FOR REALLY
LARGE PORTIONS OF THE 
POPULATION.
>> Reporter:  THOSE EFFORTS MAY 
NOT BE ENOUGH TO EASE ALL 
WORRIED MINDS.
SO IF A LARGE CHUNK OF THE 
POPULATION OPTS TO NOT GET 
VACCINATED, THAT COULD LEAVE 
SOME OF SOCIETY'S MOST 
VULNERABLE AT RISK.
THAT'S BECAUSE THOSE AT RISK OF 
THE MOST SEVERE COVID-19 
IMPACTS, LIKE THE ELDERLY AND 
PEOPLE WITH COMPROMISED IMMUNE 
SYSTEMS, ARE ALSO THE LEAST 
LIKELY TO GAIN PROTECTION FROM 
VACCINATIONS. 
>> ELDERLY PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, ARE
NOTORIOUSLY HARD TO VACCINATE 
BECAUSE THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM 
BECOMES WHAT WE CALL -- IT JUST 
DOESN'T REACT AS STRONGLY AS IT 
DID WHEN THEY WERE A YOUNGER 
AGES.
>> Reporter:  EXPERTS SAY IT'S 
UP TO EVERYONE ELSE TO GET A 
VACCINE IF WE WANT TO HAVE 
WIDESPREAD IMMUNITY.
LAUREN PELLEY, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Dan:  A COVID-19 TRAVEL BAN 
IMPOSED BY NEWFOUNDLAND AND 
LABRADOR BACK IN MAY IS NOW 
BEING CHALLENGED ON 
CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS.
THE RULES AT THAT TIME THAT A 
NOVA SCOTIA WAS DENIED ENTRY 
EVEN AFTER HER MOTHER DIED.
AS HEATHER GILLIS REPORTS, SHE 
IS NOW TAKING THE PROVINCE TO 
COURT. 
>> THIS WAS MY MOTHER.
MY MOTHER, WHO I WAS EXTREMELY 
CLOSE TO.
>> Reporter:  KIM TAYLOR'S 
MOTHER UNEXPECTEDLY DIED ON MAY 
5TH IN ST. JOHN'S, A DAY AFTER 
THE TRAVEL BAN TOOK EFFECT.
THE BAN ONLY ALLOWED PERMANENT 
RESIDENTS ASYMPTOMATIC ESSENTIAL
WORKERS AND THOSE WITH 
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES TO 
ENTER THE PROVINCE.
TAYLOR, WHO LIVES IN NOVA 
SCOTIA, HAD A SELF-ISOLATION 
PLAN AND E-MAILED ASKING FOR AN 
EXEMPTION TO GO TO HER MOTHER'S 
FUNERAL.
BUT WAS DENIED AFTER WAITING 
DAYS.
>> I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS 
THOUGHT I WOULD GET A "NO."
>> Reporter:  TAYLOR SAID THE 
REJECTION BROUGHT MORE STRESS TO
AN ALREADY BRUTAL SITUATION, 
GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A LOVED 
ONE.
>> NO OTHER FAMILY SHOULD HAVE 
TO SUFFER WHAT WE WENT THROUGH.
>> Reporter:  TAYLOR IS 
CHALLENGING THE 
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE TRAVEL 
BAN IN SUPREME COURT.
JOHN DROVER IS ARGUING HER CASE 
PRO BONO.
HIS CLIENT ISN'T SEEKING DAMAGES
OR FINANCIAL COMPENSATION. 
>> IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY AND 
THAT'S WHY I NEVER SOUGHT 
MONETARY DAMAGES.
IT'S ABOUT, YOU KNOW, AS A 
CANADIAN CITIZEN, I SHOULD HAVE 
BEEN ABLE TO GET ON THAT PLANE 
THE VERY -- THAT VERY NIGHT, THE
VERY NEXT DAY, WHENEVER I CHOSE 
TO GO AS LONG AS I FOLLOWED THE 
RULES. 
>> Reporter:  MEANWHILE, THIS 
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CANADIAN
CIVIL LIBERTIES ASSOCIATION IS 
PUSHING TO TAKE PART IN THE 
CASE.
SHE SAYS THE TRAVEL BAN IS 
UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND IT SHOULD 
BE FEDERAL JURISDICTION AND IT 
INFRINGES ON CANADIANS' MOBILITY
RIGHTS UNDER THE CHARTER.
SHE SAYS POWERS THAT ALLOW 
POLICE TO SEARCH, DETAIN, AND 
REMOVE PEOPLE FROM THE PROVINCE 
WITHOUT DUE PROCESS ARE ALSO 
PROBLEMATIC.
>> WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT 
FOR SOMEONE'S CHARTER RIGHTS TO 
BE BREACHED.
JUST BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN USED
DOESN'T MEAN IT'S 
CONSTITUTIONAL. 
>> Reporter:  LAWYERS FROM THE 
PROVINCE ARGUE THE CIVIL 
LIBERTIES ASSOCIATION SHOULDN'T 
TAKE PART IN THE CASE AND THAT 
THE CHARTER ALLOWS PEOPLE TO 
MOVE OR TAKE UP RESIDENCE, NOT 
TO VISIT.
THE CASE TO DETERMINE WHETHER 
THE PROVINCE'S TRAVEL BAN IS 
CONSTITUTIONAL WILL BE HEARD AT 
SUPREME COURT ALL WEEK.
WITNESSES ARE EXPECTED TO 
INCLUDE CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER OF
HEALTH, Dr. JANICE FITZGERALD.
HEATHER GILLIS, CBC NEWS, ST. 
JOHN'S.
>> Lien:  EVEN WITH PROSPECTS OF
A VACCINE, COVID-19 HAS STILL 
PROVEN TO BE A MAJOR DISRUPTOR 
IN AMERICAN POLITICS.

>> Reporter:  HILLARY CLINTON'S 
WAS NO DIFFERENT.
THE CONVENTIONS AND THOSE 
SPEECHES RALLY PARTY WORKERS AND
MOTIVATE VOTERS BIG TIME.
SO CONSIDER THE NEWS TODAY THAT 
JOE BIDEN WILL NOT BE ATTENDING 
HIS CONVENTION IN MILWAUKEE, 
THAT HIS SPEECH WILL BE ON VIDEO
ONLY FROM HIS HOME STATE 
DELAWARE.
WHY?
COVID. 
>> I THINK IT'S AN INDICATION OF
THE SERIOUSNESS OF WHICH HE 
JUDGES THE SITUATION. 
>> Reporter:  DEMOCRATIC SPEAKER
OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI TODAY 
APPLAUDED BIDEN FOR STEERING 
CLEAR OF BIG GATHERINGS DURING

DEMANDS THAT WE KEEP OUR 
DISTANCES.

TRUMP ACCEPT HIS NOMINATION?
HE TOO HAS SAID IT WON'T BE AT 
HIS PARTY'S CONVENTION IN NORTH 
CAROLINA, NOTING TODAY HIS 
PREFERRED CHOICE AS IT WAS ON 
THE 4TH OF JULY IS IN HIS OWN 
SYMBOLICALLY SUPERPOWERED 
BACKYARD.
>> President Donald Trump: IF I 
USE THE WHITE HOUSE, WE SAVE 
TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR 
THE GOVERNMENT IN TERMS OF 
SECURITY, TRAVELLING. 
>> Reporter:  SAY CRITICS IT 
ALSO WRONGLY TURNS THE WHITE 
HOUSE INTO A DONALD TRUMP 
RE-ELECTION WEAPON. 
>> BY COMPLETELY POLITICALIZING 
IT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE 
REJECTED RIGHT OUT OF HAND.

RIGHT HERE -- BOTH CONVENTIONS 
ARE CERTAIN TO BE LIKE NO OTHER,
LIKEWISE NO DOUBT THE CAMPAIGNS 
TO FOLLOW.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,

ADVISORY BODY IS WARNING OF THE 
LIKELIHOOD OF A SECOND WAVE OF 
THE CORONAVIRUS THIS FALL OR 
WINTER, AND THE NUMBER OF 
INFECTIONS HAS RISEN OVER THE 
PAST TWO WEEKS.
SOME OTHER FRENCH CITIES HAVE 
ALREADY ORDERED MASKS BE WORN ON
BUSY STREETS.
IN PARIS, TALKS ARE ALREADY 
UNDERWAY AS TO WHICH 
NEIGHBOURHOODS MIGHT ADOPT THAT 
NEW RULE.
IT COULD BE SHOPPING STREETS, 
THE BANKS OF THE RIVER EINE AND 
CITY PARKS AND GARDENS. 
>> Lien:  IN AUSTRALIA, RECORD 
NUMBERS OF CASES IN THE STATE OF

LATEST CASUALTY OF MELBOURNE'S 
STAGE FOUR RESTRICTIONS.
SHUTTING UP SHOP FOR AT LEAST 
THE NEXT SIX WEEKS AS PART OF 
TOUGHER MEASURES IN A BID TO 
STOP CORONAVIRUS FROM SPREADING.
THE STREETS OF AUSTRALIA'S 
SECOND LARGEST CITY HAVE LARGELY
EMPTIED SINCE A HARDER LOCKDOWN 
AND NIGHTLY CURFEW KICKED IN ON 
SUNDAY.
WIDELY SEEN AS SHORT-TERM PAIN 
FOR LONG-TERM GAIN.
>> WE ALL CONTINUE TO DO AS WE 
SHOULD, MAKING BETTER CHOICES, 
THEN WE'LL KEEP OUR COMMUNITY 
SAFE, AND WE WILL GET TO THE 
OTHER SIDE OF THIS.
THE ALTERNATIVE IS THOSE 
RESTRICTIONS LASTING FOR MUCH 
LONGER THAN THEY SHOULD.
>> Reporter:  AUTHORITIES ALSO 
WARN OF A CRACKDOWN FOR THOSE 
WHO BREAK THE RULES.
PEOPLE FOUND BREACHING ISOLATION
ORDERS COULD BE SLAPPED WITH A

>> IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, A 
SPECIAL SUMMER CAMP WAS HELD 
THIS WEEK FOR FAMILIES WITH 
CHILDREN WHO ARE DEAF.
THE FOCUS WAS ON COMMUNICATION 
IN AN ATMOSPHERE THAT MIXING FUN
WITH LEARNING.
HERE'S A REPORT. 
>> Reporter:  A SUMMER'S DAY IN 
PARADISE VALLEY, AND THE FAMILY 
HEADS OUT FOR A STROLL.
NORMALLY THEY LIVE AND WORK IN 
VANCOUVER.
STEVE IS A POLICEMAN AND PATTY 
IS A REGISTERED NURSE.
THE PRANGELS COULD EASILY BE ON 
THE IDEAL FAMILY ON VACATION, 
BUT NOT QUITE.
THEY ARE AT A LEARNING CAMP FOR 
DEAF CHILDREN.
TWO YEARS AGO, BOTH THEIR 
DAUGHTERS WERE DIAGNOSED AS 
PROFOUNDLY DEAF.
THEIR PARENTS EACH HAPPEN TO 
CARRY A RECESSIVE GENE FOR 
DEAFNESS.
>> WHEN YOU DREAM ABOUT HAVING 
DREAM, YOU DON'T DREAM ABOUT 
HAVING DEAF CHILDREN AND WHAT 
YOU ARE GOING TO DO WITH THEM.
YOU DREAM ABOUT HAVING HEARING 
CHILDREN AND ALL THE HOPES AND 
EXPECTATIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR 
THESE CHILDREN.
SO THAT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT TO 
ACCEPT AT FIRST, THAT BOTH OF 
THESE CHILDREN WERE DEAF.
>> ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH GRIEVANCE
BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
NOW TO FEEL YOU ARE LOSING YOUR 
CHILD AND IT TELL YOU YEARS 
BEFORE SIMPLE IDEAS CAN GET 
ACROSS.
>> HOW MANY?
>> Reporter:  KRISTEN IS 3 AND A
HALF NOW.
WHEN SHE WAS 2, SHE DISCOVERED 
SHE WASN'T LIKE HER MOMMY AND 
DADDY.
KRISTEN COULDN'T HEAR WHAT THEY 
WERE SAYING, AND SHE HAD NO WAY 
OF TELLING THEM WHAT SHE WANTED 
AND HOW SHE FELT.
>> IF SHE WANTED A DRINK OF MILK
OR A BOTTLE, SHE HAD NO WAY OF 
TELLING US, EXCEPT FOR PULLING 
US AND POINTING.
IF WE DIDN'T GET THE RIGHT 
THING, IT WOULD  UPSET HER AND 
ME BECAUSE I FELT I WAS LETTING 
HER DOWN. 
>> Reporter:  THIS IS AN 
ADVANCED SIGN LANGUAGE CLASS FOR
THE PARENTS AT THE CAMP.
>> THERE ARE DEAF PEOPLE, AND WE
ARE NOT.
AND IT'S HARD FOR US TO THINK 
LIKE THEY DO AND TO BE DEAF.
>> Reporter:  ERIN IS JUST TWO.
SHE IS JUST STARTING TO LEARN 
HOW TO SIGN.
THE PARENTS WORK AT MAKING 
THINGS EASIER, EVEN WHEN THEY 
TALK AMONGST THEMSELVES, STEVE 
AND PATTY ALWAYS USE THEIR 
HANDS. 
>> THIS WAY, EVEN IF WE'RE ONLY 
TALKING WITH EACH OTHER, THEY 
ARE STILL WATCHING US SIGN AND 
THEY ARE STILL PICKING UP 
VOCABULARY AND BRINGS LIKE THAT 
FROM THAT. 
>> Reporter:  IT'S A CONSTANT 
LEARNING PROCESS FOR THE ENTIRE 
FAMILY.
IN THIS CASE, WATCH HOW KRISTEN 
PUTS HER SKILLS TO THE TEST.
ONCE SHE DISCOVERS ERIN IN HER 
SEAT.
>> MOVE PLEASE.
[ Laughter ]
>> WHERE?
MAYBE YOU CAN CHANGE AND SIT IN 
ERIN'S CHAIR. 
>> NO, ERIN HAS DECIDED TO MOVE.
>> WITHOUT FIGHTING. 
>> GOOD GIRL.
GOOD GIRL!
>> Reporter:  THE MESSAGE?
KIDS WILL BE KIDS NO MATTER WHAT
THEIR LANGUAGE.

>> Lien:  AND HERE ARE SOME OF 
THE STORIES WE'RE FOLLOWING 
TONIGHT ON CBC VANCOUVER NEWS.
BC'S COVID CASE COUNT IS UP.
WE HAVE 351 ACTIVE CASES, THE 
HIGHEST SINCE MAY.
NINE PEOPLE ARE IN HOSPITAL.
SIX OF THEM IN INTENSIVE CARE.
THANKFULLY NO ONE HAS DIED FROM 
THE DISEASE IN THE PAST DAY.
BUT WE HAVE LOST ALMOST 200 
PEOPLE.
>> AS PEOPLE RETURN TO WORK, YOU
HAVE GOT A PAYCHEQUE COMING IN.
IT GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO 
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOUR HOUSING
NEEDS REALLY ARE, AND HOUSING 
NEEDS DON'T GO AWAY JUST BECAUSE
THERE IS A VIRUS OUT THERE.
>> Dan:  THE LOWER MAINLAND IS 
SEEING A BOOM IN REAL ESTATE 
EVEN AMID THE PANDEMIC.
HOME SALES IN GREATER VANCOUVER 
SPIKED 22% COMPARED TO JULY 
AFTER LAST YEAR.
THAT NUMBER JUMPED TO 44% OF THE
FRASER VALLEY.
INDUSTRY INSIDERS BELIEVE 
PENT-UP DEMAND AND LOW INTEREST 
RATES HAVE LED TO THIS SUDDEN 
SURGE. 
>> I'M JUST 24, AND YOU FEEL 
LIKE AS IF EVERY PLAN YOU HAD 
YOUR LIFE, POOF AND GONE.
NOT BECAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION 
ONLY.
WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS,
LIKE, YEARS BEFORE.
YEARS AND YEARS.
>> Lien:  SURVIVORS OF BEIRUT'S 
DEADLY EXPLOSION SAY THEIR 
DREAMS OF A BETTER LIFE HAVE 
TAKEN ANOTHER HIT.
THIS WOMAN IS IN THE PROCESS OF 
APPLYING FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCY
TO JOIN HER HUSBAND HERE IN 
VANCOUVER.
SHE SAYS DESPITE HER LOVE FOR 
LEBANON, SHE IS DESPERATE TO 
LEAVE THE COUNTRY SHE FEELS HAS 
FAILED ITS CITIZENS.
NOW SHE IS UNSURE OF WHEN SHE'LL
BE ABLE TO LEAVE. 
>> Dan:  RESCUERS ARE STILL 
DIGGING THROUGH THE RUBBLE 
TONIGHT AFTER YESTERDAY'S DEADLY
BLAST KILLED AT LEAST 135 
PEOPLE. 
>> Lien:  THE CITY HAS A LONG 
ROAD AHEAD, BUT AS RENEE 
FILIPPONE REPORTS, THE FOCUS IS 
STILL ON THE DESPERATE SEARCH 
FOR MISSING LOVED ONES.
[ Sirens ]
>> Reporter:  A DAY AFTER THE 
BLAST THAT CATASTROPHICALLY 
SHOOK BEIRUT, THE TRUE SCALE OF 
THE DISASTER EMERGED.
THROUGHOUT THE DAY, MORE BODIES 
ARE PULLED FROM THE RUBBLE AND 
MORE FAMILIES' FEARS ARE 
CONFIRMED.
RESCUE WORKERS CONTINUE TO 
SEARCH FOR THE MISSING WHILE 
THEIR FAMILIES HOLD OUT HOPE.
>> (Speaking Alternate 
Language). 
>> Reporter:  WE HAVE BEEN ALL 
OVER, EVERY HOSPITAL IN BEIRUT, 
SAYS A MAN RELENTLESSLY LOOKING 
FOR HIS 27-YEAR-OLD SON, WE 
DON'T KNOW IF HE IS DEAD OR 
ALIVE.
THAT DESPERATION HAS MANY 
REACHING OUT ONLINE, SHARING 
IMAGES OF MISSING LOVED ONES, 
LOOKING FOR ANY INDICATION THEY 
SURVIVED THE BLAST.
THE EXPLOSION WAS SO POWERFUL 
OFFICIALS SAY IT DAMAGED HALF 
THE CITY AND WAS FUELLED BY 
2,750 TONNES OF AAMMONIUM 
NITRATE.
THE CHEMICALS WERE STORED 
UNSAFELY IN A WAREHOUSE FOR 
YEARS, ACCORDING TO A GOVERNMENT
OFFICIAL.
WE ARE DETERMINED TO INVESTIGATE
AND REVEAL WHAT HAPPENED AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE, HE SAYS.
SEVERAL PORT OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN
PLACED UNDER HOUSE ARREST.
MYRNA NAVIGATES THROUGH THE 
DEBRIS INSIDE HER HOME SHE GREW 
UP.
HER MOTHER WAS INJURED DURING 
THE BLAST BUT NOTHING COMPARED 
TO WHAT SHE SAW YESTERDAY. 
>> I SAW PEOPLE WALKING LIKE 
GHOSTS IN THE STREET.
THERE IS -- THEY WERE FULL OF 
BLOOD.
SOME PEOPLE WERE LYING DOWN ON 
THE STREETS, UNABLE TO -- TO GET
UP.
MAYBE THEY WERE -- MAYBE THEY 
DIED.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> Reporter:  THE BLAST ALSO 
DESTROYED A LARGE GRAIN SILO, 
CONTAINING CRITICALLY IMPORTANT 
FOOD RESERVES, AND THE DAMAGE 
LEFT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS 
HOMELESS AT A TIME WHEN THE 
COUNTRY IS DEALING WITH AN 
ONGOING POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC 
CRISIS AND, OF COURSE, THE 
CORONAVIRUS.
LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS ARE 
RALLYING TO HELP THOSE IN NEED.
SOME SAY THEY HAVE LOST FAITH IN
THE GOVERNMENT.
>> PEOPLE ARE THERE FOR EACH 
OTHER.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR SOME
GOVERNMENT ENTITY TO COME AND 
FIX THINGS FOR US.
THEY NEVER DID FOR THE PAST 30 
YEARS.

THE RESIGNATION OF THE LEBANESE 
PEOPLE CAPTURED IN THIS VIDEO OF
AN ELDERLY WOMAN PLAYING PIANO 
IN HER DAMAGED APARTMENT AS

THE WEARY CARRY ON.
THIS IS THE GRIM REALITY IN A 
DEEPLY SCARRED BEIRUT.
RENEE FILIPPONE, CBC NEWS, 
LONDON.
>> Lien:  AND THERE ARE STILL 
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF 
HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE AMMONIUM 
NITRATE THAT BLEW UP IN BEIRUT 
AND HOW IT GOT THERE. 
>> Dan:  THOMAS DAIGLE REPORTS 
ONE HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCATE CLAIM 
OFFICIALS IGNORED WARNINGS THAT 
IT WAS DANGEROUS.
[ Sirens ]
>> Reporter:  AMID THE CHAOS OF 
THE BLAST CAME A CLEAR CLUE AS 
TO ITS ORIGIN.
THAT LINGERING REDDISH SMOKE.
A TELL-TALE SIGN OF AMMONIUM 
NITRATE.
A FAIRLY COMMON SUBSTANCE THAT 
THIS EXPERT CONSIDERING MORE 
DANGEROUS THAN DYNAMITE. 
>> THIS HOUSE WAS (INAUDIBLE) TO
DESTROY IT. 
>> Reporter:  FARMERS USE THE 
CHEMICAL AS FERTILIZER.
IT'S HARMLESS WHEN STORED 
PROPERLY BUT NOT WHEN MIXED WITH
FUEL, THEN LIT.
LIKE IN BEIRUT, WHERE THAT FIRE 
WAS THE FIRST SIGN OF LOOMING 
DISASTER.
>> OH, MY ...
>> THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH 
TO START TO HEAT IT UP.
TO THEN COME INTO THIS CHAIN 
REACTION EVENT THAT IS 
UNSTOPPABLE. 
>> Reporter:  IT ALL COME FROM 
THIS SHIP THAT DOCKED IN 2013.
IT WAS FORCED TO UNLOAD ALL THE 
AMMONIUM NITRATE IT WAS CARRYING
BUT THEN THE CARGO WAS STORED AT
THE PORT AND NEVER MOVED.
>> WE ARE REALLY A DEVASTATED 
COUNTRY BECAUSE NO ONE WANTED TO
TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY.
>> Reporter:  HUMAN RIGHTS 
ACTIVISTS OBTAINED A LETTER THAT
APPEARS TO SHOW SOME OFFICIALS 
REPEATEDLY WARNED OF THE RISK.
IN OCTOBER 2017 THE DIRECTOR OF 
CUSTOMS IN THE COUNTRY URGED A 
JUDGE TO ORDER REMOVAL OF THE 
MATERIAL DUE TO THE DANGER OF 
LEAVING THESE GOODS IN A PLACE 
THEY ARE AND TO THOSE WORKING 
THERE. 
>> THEY DID A LOT OF I WOULD SAY
PAPERWORK TO COVER THEMSELVES, 
BUT NO ONE TOOK AN ACTION TO 
PROTECT THE POPULATION.
>> Reporter:  THE CHEMICAL HAS 
CAUSED DEATH AND DESTRUCTION 
BEFORE.
THINK BACK TO THE '95 OKLAHOMA 
CITY BOMBING.
THE ATTACKER USED TWO AND A HALF
TONNES OF AMMONIUM NITRATE.
POLICE DEMONSTRATED HOW JUST ONE
TONNE OF AMMONIUM NITRATE COULD 
DO DAMAGE IN ANOTHER TRIAL.
IN BEIRUT THERE WAS A STAGGERING
AMOUNT IN ONE PLACE.
2750 TONNES IN ONE PLACE.
IT TOOK A HUGE LOAD TO CAUSE 
THIS MUCH DESTRUCTION BUT IT 
TOOK NEGLIGENCE TO CLAIM THIS 
MANY LIVES.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Lien:  SHE WAS KNOWN FOR 
BEING NICE AND CARING BUT WHY IS
ELLEN DEGENERES NOW APOLOGIZING.
COMING UP, A LOOK AT THE 
ALLEGATIONS OF A TOXIC WORK 
ENVIRONMENT.
>> Dan:  AND IT'S 6:40, ALMOST 
41.
THERE IS A LIVE LOOK AT TOFINO'S
CRYSTAL COVE RESORT.
THEY HAVE A BEACH THERE.
CLOUDS ALREADY COMING ASHORE 
AHEAD OF SOME RAIN AND THAT 
MUCH-NEEDED PRECIPITATION IS 
COMING TO THE LOWER MAINLAND AS 
WELL.
JOHANNA WILL BE BACK WITH THE 
DAMP, FULL FORECAST AFTER THIS.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
>> ONE ELEMENT OF THE HOUSE IS 
IT HAS A TREE-LIKE CONFIGURATION
TO IT.
WHAT WE TRIED TO DEVELOP WAS THE
NOTION THAT THE HOUSE IS PART OF
THE LANDSCAPE.
>> HI!
COME ON IN.
COME ON IN.
>> HI.
>> HI.
I'M GREG.
WELCOME TO THE TREEHOUSE.
EACH FLOOR IS IN A WAY MEANT TO 
REPRESENT DIFFERENT COMPONENTS 
OF THE FOREST LAYERS.
THE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY IS ONE OF 
A JOURNEY, AND THIS IS THE 
BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY FROM 
DARKNESS INTO LIGHT.
I WAS LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT 
LOOKED LIKE WATER DROPS.
HAD THE APPEARANCE OF FALLING 
WATER AND THIS WAS MEANT TO BE 
WHEN THE RAIN COMES AND THE 
WATER STREAMS THROUGH THE 
DIFFERENT LAYERS OF THE FOREST.
WE WERE DOING THE RENOVATIONS.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, THERE WAS
THIS ROCK WALL BEHIND THIS.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TRY TO 
HIDE THIS.
BASICALLY KIND OF MEANT TO BE A 
PLACE OF SOLITUDE AND 
REFLECTION.
ADDED BONUS THAT WE DIDN'T 
REALIZE AT THE TIME THAT IT 
COMES WHEN IT RAINS HERE -- 
ENJOY THE WATER.
>> LIKE, BRIGHT AND AIRY AND YOU
CAN SEE THE SUNLIGHT STREAMING 
IN.
YOU CAN REALLY FEEL THE SEASONS 
AND THE TREES AND YOU CAN 
ACTUALLY SEE THE CANOPY OF THE 
TREES. 
>> AND CERTAINLY HAS THE MOST 
OPEN -- OPEN VIEWS. 
>> THESE PILLARS ARE LIKE 
TORCHES.
SO IN THE EVENING TIME, IF YOU 
JUST HAVE THOSE ON, THEN IT 
LOOKS LIKE THERE IS FIRE INSIDE 
THE HOUSE.
THE MOON ACTUALLY COMES DOWN IN 
THROUGH THE GLASS OF THE -- OF 
THE BATHROOM AND STRAIGHT INTO 
THE BATHTUB.
SO IT'S LIKE YOU ARE BATHING IN 
MOONLIGHT. 
>> IN THE KITCHEN, TWO OPPOSING 
VIEWS.
ONE IS YOU ARE FACING USING THE 
COOKTOP -- FACING TOWARDS THE 
WATER.
YOU HAVE A PANORAMIC VIEW 
BASICALLY OF THE WATER AND THE 
MOUNTAINS.
BUT IF YOU TURN 180 DEGREES, NOW
FACED WITH THE FOREST, WHICH IS 
A VIEW OF SOLITUDE AND KIND OF 
CONFINEMENT, JUST BY RELOCATING 
SLIGHTLY, YOU HAVE THIS 
DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT MINDSET.
>> THE HOUSE IS REALLY WONDERFUL
WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN IT'S 
STORMY.
QUITE LOUD ON -- IN THIS AREA.
SO YOU CAN HEAR IT, SEE IT.
THE PINE CONES HIT THE HOUSE, 
THE METAL CLANGS WHEN IT'S 
WINDY.
DRAMATIC.
I LIKE TO DECORATE WITH NATURAL 
ITEMS.
THIS IS A CHINESE GOURD.
THAT'S DRIED.
AND MY FATHER GREW THIS IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE CITY.
HE DESCRIBED A POEM ABOUT THE 
FLEETINGNESS OF LIFE.
AS ALL THINGS PASS AWAY, THE SUN
AND THE MOON AND THE SEASONS, 
AND LIKE THIS GOURD, HE KNOWS 
THAT WE SHOULD TREASURE EVERY 
MOMENT. 
>> YOU FEEL THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 
WHEN IT'S STORMY AGAIN.
THE HOUSE IS INTERESTING.
YOU CAN WATCH THE STORMS ROLL 
IN.
MANY WAYS OVER TIME THE ACTUAL 
BACK IS BECOMING MY FAVOURITE.
IT'S A STEEPLY RATED BACKYARD.
JUST STRAIGHT OUT, YOU JUST SEE 
FOREST.
EVERYONE I THINK HAS A DIFFERENT
REACTION TO THE HOUSE.
SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY FIND IT 
INTERESTING.
WONDER WHY. 
>> WHY. 
>> IT'S NOT THE MOST PRACTICAL 
OF PLACES TO MOVE.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE 
BEEN IN THE HOUSE, THEY EITHER 
LOVE IT OR THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THE -- IF I HAVE 
INVITED YOU, THEY UNDERSTAND 
THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE -- THIS 
IS A HOUSE THAT FITS US.
>> WHEN YOUR BACKYARD IS 
BURNING, IS ANYWHERE SAFE?
I'M THE HOST OF A NEW PODCAST 
"WORLD ON FIRE."

A TOP-LEVEL ALERT TO THE TYPHOON
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
BY THEN, GUSTS RECORDED AT 115 
KILOMETRES PER HOUR AND SWOLLEN 
RIVERS WERE OVERFLOWING THEIR 
BANKS, WASHING OUT ROADS.
DOZENS OF HOMES WERE EVACUATED 
IN THE REGION AS FAR AS 140 
KILOMETRES INLAND.
OTHER PEOPLE WERE WARNED TO STAY
INDOORS.
ALMOST 700 TOURISTS WERE 
STRANDED IN THE AREA.
>> Announcer:  THE WEATHER 
UPDATE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY 
FORTISBC.
USING MORE ENERGY THESE DAYS?
WE HAVE GOT ENERGY-SAVING TIPS, 
EASY UPGRADES, HOW-TO VIDEOS, 
AND MORE.
BEEN WATCHING THAT TYPHOON VERY 
CAREFULLY.
SO JO, THAT TYPHOON NOW MOVING 
ON FROM CHINA, HEADING NORTH 
TOWARDS KOREA, RIGHT?
>> Johanna:  THAT'S RIGHT, LIEN,
AND RESTRENGTHENING AS IT HIT 
THE WATER AGAIN.
WATCHING THIS CLOSELY OVER THE 
NEXT 24 HOURS, ACTUALLY WANT TO 
SHOW YOU A SATELLITE IMAGE AS 
THIS TYPHOON MOVES BACK OVER 
INTO THE OPEN WATER.
YOU CAN SEE THAT CLOSED 
CIRCULATION OF THE EYE.
IT IS WEAKENING AND IT IS GOING 
TO MERGE WITH A SYSTEM IN SOUTH 
KOREA, BUT THIS IS ALSO A PLACE 
THAT HAS BEEN INUNDATED BY 
RAINFALL.
FOR THE PAST SIX WEEKS IN FACT.
SO HIGH ALERT FOR THE PENINSULA 
AND WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON 
THAT.
IT'S JUST MOVING IN AS WE SPEAK.
WE'RE WATCHING A DIFFERENT 
SYSTEM, OF COURSE, HERE ON THE 
WEST COAST.
WE'RE WATCHING THE APPROACH OF 
THE RAIN AND JUST GETTING 
REPORTS THAT IT HAS STARTED 
RAINING IN TOFINO.
THAT COLD FRONT IS TRACKING DOWN
TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST.
27 HUMIDEX IN THROUGH YVR.
IT IS MUGGY ONCE AGAIN ACROSS 
THE SOUTH COAST.
THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE 
DRAMATICALLY, THOUGH.
NOT JUST AS FAR AS THE RAIN, BUT
THOSE TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE
A BIT COOLER FOR THE WHOLE 
PROVINCE.
WE'RE TALKING 5 TO 10º.
OKAY, HERE'S THE RAINFALL MAP 
THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
THE DARK GREENS TO THE YELLOWS, 
THAT'S THE 20 TO 60 MILLIMETRE 
RANGE.
FOR METRO VANCOUVER, THAT'S 
REALLY THE TOP END OF WHAT WE 
MIGHT GET, CLOSER TO THE 20 
MILLIMETRE.
MORE LIKELY 5 TO 10.
AND THEN ALL EYES ON THE 
INTERIOR, WHERE WE REALLY NEED 
IT, THE KOOTENAYS LOOKING TO GET
GOOD RAINFALL BUT THE OKANAGAN, 
MAYBE 5 TO 10 MILLIMETRES AND 
THAT WILL COME WITH A GUSTY COLD
FRONT THAT ALSO MEANS NEW 
LIGHTNING STRIKES.
SO POSSIBLE NEW FIRE STARTS IN 
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
BUT THEN LOOK AT THIS 
TEMPERATURE COOLDOWN.
THAT IS REALLY GOING TO HELP THE
FIRE SITUATION.
THIS IS FOR TOMORROW.
YOU CAN SEE GOING FROM 37 IN 
THROUGH OSOYOOS TODAY TO 27 
TOMORROW.
AND STAYING IN THAT COOLER RANGE
AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY AS WELL.
SO A MUCH-NEEDED DROP IN 
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE 
PROVINCE.
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT GETTING 
THE SOAKING RAIN.
WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE NORTH 
IF WE HAVE A MINUTE COMING UP.
21 TOMORROW FOR METRO VANCOUVER.
THAT -- I'M SORRY.
THAT'S TONIGHT.
20 FOR TOMORROW.
THAT'S THE BREAKDOWN AS WE HEAD 
INTO THE FORECAST.
DEFINITELY COOLER.
SO THERE'S THE NORTH, 17 UP 
TOWARDS SMITHERS.
15 IN THROUGH PRINCE GEORGE.
AS I TAKE YOU THROUGH FRIDAY, 
STICKING IN THAT COLD AIR MASS 
FOR ANOTHER DAY.
SO OUR ONE-HIT WONDER COMING 
TOMORROW MIGHT END UP WITH SUNNY
BREAKS BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY
AND LOOK AT THAT.
NICE REBOUND AS WE HEAD INTO 
ANOTHER GOOD-LOOKING WEEKEND.

>> Reporter:  THEN-CEO JOHN 
YOUNG FIRST APOLOGIZED, THEN 
RESIGNED.
THE MUSEUM LAUNCHED AN EXTERNAL 
REVIEW.
LOREL HARRIS'S REPORT IS 
SCATHING.
RACISM WITHIN THE CANADIAN 
MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IS 
PERVASIVE AND SYSTEMIC.
BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND PEOPLE OF
COLOUR HAVE BEEN ADVERSELY 
IMPACTED, PHYSICALLY, 
EMOTIONALLY, AND FINANCIALLY BY 
THEIR EXPERIENCES WITHIN THE 
INSTITUTION.
THE REPORT'S 44 RECOMMENDATIONS 
INCLUDE CHANGES TO RECRUITING 
AND HIRING PRACTICES, CONTENT 
AND INTERACTIONS WITH THE

THE BOARD SAYS IT WILL IMPLEMENT
FIVE IMMEDIATELY.
IT HAS ALSO COMMITTED AT LEAST 
$250,000 FOR TRAINING IN 
ANTIRACISM AND SEXUAL 
HARASSMENT.

THE REPORT WILL CHANGE ANYTHING.

THINGS ARE VERY DIFFERENT.
AND THAT TRUST IS NOT GOING TO 
COME BACK ON MY END UNTIL I SEE 
A DIFFERENCE IN BEHAVIOUR.
>> AT LEAST THE MUSEUM COULD DO 
IS FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THOSE 44 
RECOMMENDATIONS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT, BUT IT'S 
NOT COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS 
BEEN IN THERE AND KNOWS HOW MUCH
WORK ACTUALLY HAS TO BE DONE. 
>> Reporter:  PHASE TWO OF THE 
EXTERNAL REVIEW WILL BEGIN 
SHORTLY AND FOCUS ON EXCLUSION 
AND EQUITY.
IN THE MEANTIME, THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING FOR A NEW 
CEO WHO CAN HELP LEAD THE MUSEUM
THROUGH THIS CRISIS.
KAREN PAULS, CBC NEWS, WINNIPEG.
>> Lien:  WELL, FOR DECADES 
ELLEN DEGENERES HAS BUILT HER 
BRAND ON FUN, KINDNESS, AND 
GENEROSITY. 
>> Dan:  BUT A GROWING NUMBER OF
FORMER STAFFERS SAY THE QUEEN OF
NICE RULED OVER A DOMAIN THAT 
COULD BE MONSTROUS. 
>> Lien:  DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON 
LOOKS AT THE ALLEGATIONS OF 
TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT AND WORSE
THAT ARE NOW THREATENING THAT 
BRAND.
>> LIKE MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER 
MOTHER.
[ Laughter ]
>> Reporter:  ON THE TALK SHOW 
"ELLEN," THEY TRADED BANTER AND 
JOKES EVERY DAY, BUT BEHIND THE 
SCENES, TONY SAID HE DID 
EXPERIENCE AND FEEL THE TOXICITY
OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
ELLEN DEGENERES'S FORMER DEEJAY 
IS THE MOST RECENT STAFFER TO 
ALLEGE THAT THE SHOW BUILT ON 
ITS HOST'S BE KIND MOTTO WAS 
ANYTHING BUT. 
>> I MEAN BE KIND TO EVERYONE. 
>> Reporter:  THE STORY BROKE OF
DOZENS OF FORMER AND SOME 
CURRENT STAFFERS OF ELLEN 
DEGENERES WHO SAID THEY 
EXPERIENCED A TOXIC WORK 
ENVIRONMENT, SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
ONE STAFFER SAID SHE WAS 
SUBJECTED TO RACIST COMMENTS. 
>> HEAD WRITER HAD SAID TO HER, 
OH, I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME, I 
ONLY KNOW THE NAME OF THE WHITE 
EMPLOYEES WHO WORK HERE, AND 
CAME UP AGAINST A LOT OF 
BARRIERS, SHE SAID.
I SPOKE TO FORMER EMPLOYEES WHO 
SAID THEY WERE FIRED AFTER 
ASKING FOR BEREAVEMENT DAYS TO 
ATTEND FAMILY FUNERALS. 
>> Reporter:  WHILE SOME 
STAFFERS SAID ELLEN HERSELF 
COULD BE COLD AND BERATING, THE 
WORST OF THE ALLEGATIONS WERE 
AGAINST HER EXECUTIVE TEAM, NOT 
THE COMEDIAN HERSELF.
>> A LOT OF FORMER EMPLOYEES SAY
THEY FIND IT VERY HARD TO 
BELIEVE ELLEN WAS COMPLETELY 
UNAWARE OF THE ONGOINGS ON THE 
SHOW.
>> ONE OF THE WAYS TO SPREAD 
KINDNESS ...
>> Reporter:  SOMETHING THAT 
COULD DAMAGE THE BRAND OF ME 
BELOVED STAR BUT ESPECIALLY ONE 
WHO BUILT HER EMPIRE ON 
NICENESS. 
>> I THINK HER BRAND IS IN 
DANGER, BUT I THINK SHE CAN 
STILL TURN IT AROUND.
BUT SHE WILL NEED TO TRULY 
DEMONSTRATE HOW. 
>> Reporter:  SOME CELEBRITIES 
LIKE KATY PERRY AND KEVIN HART 
HAS COME TO ELLEN'S DEFENCE ON 
SOCIAL MEDIA.
BUT THIS CANADIAN PR STRATEGIST 
SAYS GETTING ALL THE BIG NAMES 
BACK ON HER SHOW MIGHT BE 
TOUGHER NOW.
>> I JUST WONDER, LIKE, AS A 
CELEBRITY PUBLICIST, WOULD I 
BOOK MY TALENTS ON HER SHOW?
>> WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SHOW 
FROM MY HOUSE SINCE MARCH.
>> Reporter:  ELEN'S SHOW 
RATINGS FELL IN THE LAST FEW 
WEEKS.
WARNER BROTHERS IS CONDUCTING AN
INTERNAL INVESTIGATION BUT THE 
NETWORK HAS NOT INDICATED ITS 
DESIRE TO END THE SHOW.

>> Dan:  YEAH, THAT'S A COYOTE 
WITH ITS HEAD STUCK IN A JAR.
THE RESCUE COMING UP AFTER THIS.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
>> Lien:  WELL, THE FIRST SEAL 
PUPS RESCUED THIS YEAR BY THE 
RESCUE CENTRE HAVE FINISHED 
THEIR REHAB, WHICH MEANS IT'S A 
HAPPY DAY ON BC SHORES.
RELEASE DAY.
HEALTHY, BACK UP TO WEIGHT AND 
EQUIPPED WITH A SEAL TO SURVIVE 
ON THEIR OWN, IT CAN TAKE 
COAXING BUT FOUR YOUNG SEALS 
WERE SET FREE TODAY.
EVEN IF ONE LOOKED LIKE IT 
WASN'T QUITE READY TO LEAVE 
RESCUERS YET.
SEALY DAN OR BACK IN THE OPEN 
OCEAN.
AND BY THE WAY, THAT HESITATION,
APPARENTLY PLENTY OF SEALS GO 
THROUGH THAT.
>> RELEASED, YOU KNOW, THOUSANDS
OF MARINE MAMMALS.
SOME BOLT INTO THE OCEAN.
SOME TAKE THEIR TIME.
JUST DEPENDS.
IT'S A NEW SURROUNDING FOR THEM.
THESE ARE ANIMALS THAT HAVE ONLY
SPENT ONE OR TWO DAYS IN THE 
WILD BEFORE THEY WERE RESCUED.
SO IT'S A TOTALLY NEW 
ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM.
SO NOT UNUSUAL FOR US TO SEE 
THIS TODAY.
>> Lien:  THE CENTRE HAS CARED 
FOR MORE THAN 60 SEALS SO FAR 
THIS YEAR.
>> Dan:  BEST NAME FOR A SEAL 
EVER.
NICELY DONE.
CONSERVATION OFFICERS IN MAPLE 
RIDGE SAVED A COYOTE RECENTLY 
THAT WAS IN OVER ITS HEAD.
YEAH, NOT SO WILEY COYOTE WAS IN
DISTRESS AFTER IT TRIED TO LICK 
SOMETHING INSIDE THAT JAR.
OH, DEAR.
TO SAVE THE PICKLED PUP, 
RESCUERS TRANQUILIZED IT AND 
THEN POURED WATER OVER ITS BODY 
TO COOL IT DOWN.
USING LOTION AND PRIDE  PRIED IT
OFF.
IT BEGAN TO MOVE ON ITS OWN 
AFTER A BIT.
CONSERVATION OFFICERS SAY THIS 
RESCUE UNDERSCORES THE NEED FOR 
YOU TO CLEAN YOUR JARS WHEN YOU 
PUT THEM OUT FOR RECYCLING.
>> Lien:  OH, I'M GLAD IT'S SAFE
AGAIN.
I HAVE WATCHED THAT.
AND I WAS LIKE, OH, ALMOST 
THERE. 
>> Dan:  ALMOST THERE.
SO CLOSE.
GIVE IT TIME.
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT. 
>> Lien:  A GOOD JOB. 
>> Dan:  YES.
>> Lien:  THE WILY COYOTE IS 
SAFE AND SOUND.
