IN HIS BOOK, JOHN BOLTEN SAYS
ONE INFLUENTIAL VOICE TRIED TO
KEEP CANADA OUT.
JEAN CHRÉTIEN WAS ARGUING CANADA
SHOULD NOT ABIDE BY OUR
EXTRADITION TREATY AND TRUMP
OFFICIALS URGED CANADA TO STAND
FIRM, STRESSING WE WOULD SUPPORT
THEM EVERY WAY WE COULD,
INCLUDING DIRECTLY RAISING WITH
CHINA THE MISTREATMENT OF
CANADIAN CITIZENS.
NONO ONE HAS COMMENTED.
LET'S GET MORE CONTEXTS FROM
JANICE STEIN FROM GLOBAL AFFAIRS
AND PUBLIC POLICY AND WHAT STOOD
OUT FOR YOU FROM JOHN BOLTEN?
>> IF HE'S CORRECT, IT CHANGES
OUR UNDERSTANDING.
WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS WAS THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE STORY AND
CLEARLY ENCASED IN FRAMEWORK.
WHAT BOLTEN'S SORE SUGGEST STORY SUGGESTS,
THERE WAS HIGH-LEVEL DISCUSSIONS
BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT'S PEOPLE
AND THE PRIME MINISTER'S PEOPLE
AND THAT SUGGESTS AN OVERLAY BUT
NO EVIDENCE OF THE PRIME
MINISTER INTERVENING ANY WAY IN
THESE LEGAL PROCESSES.
>> AND THERE'S A QUOTE THAT
INTRIGUES YOU?
>> ONE OTHER QUOTE JUMPED OUT AT
ME WHERE BOLTEN SAYS THEY
REASSURED CANADIAN OFFICIALS
THEY WOULD RAISE WITH CHINA
DIRECTLY THE MISTREATMENT OF
CANADIAN CITIZENS.
WE KNOW, IAN, THAT THE PRIME
MINISTER ASKED THE PRESIDENT TO
DO THAT AND TO DO IT FIRMLY
BEFORE HE INCLUDED HIS TRADE
AGREEMENT WITH CHINA.
WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE
THAT THE PRESIDENT KEPT HIS
WORD.
>> JANICE STEIN, THANK YOU.
>> SO WELCOME.

BEHIND THE UNEASY SMILES, THE
TALKS WERE STRAINED AND THIS WE
ALREADY NEW BUT JOHN BOLTEN'S
TELL-ALL BOOK WAS A PEEK INTO

THIS WAS FAR FROM AMICABLE AND
TRUMP DIDN'T LIKE MA CHRO MACRON OR
TRUDEAU AND THEY RESPONDED IN
KIND, PLAYING ALONG TO NOT BEING
A PERMANENT TIFF WITH THE U.S.
PRESIDENT.
BUT THEN, THIS INFAMOUS STRUGGLE
TO GET EVERYONE ON BOARD, TO
SIGN OFF ON THE FINAL COMMUNIQUE
TOOK OVER AND TRUMP'S CHIEF OF
STAFF EVEN WALKED OUT SAYING
THIS IS A DISASTER.
THE LEADERS EVENTUALLY AGREED
BUT THEN --
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau:  AS
CANADIANS, WE'RE POLITE,
REASONABLE AND BUT WILL NOT BE
PUSHED AROUND.
>> Reporter:  THAT SET TRUMP
OUT, BOLTEN SAYS, PULLING OUT OF
THE COMMUNIQUE AND TRUMP THREW A
FIT, INFURIATED, JUST GO AFTER
TRUDEAU, DON'T KNOCK THE OTHERS,
TRUDEAU IS A BEHIND-THE-BACK
GUY.
>> HE REALLY STABBED US IN THE
BACK.
THERE'S A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL
FORNY FOREIGN LEADER THAT
ENGAGES IN BAD FAITH WITH
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.

THE TREND IN SOME STATES IS
CONCERNING.
THERE WERE MORE THAN 23,000 NEW
KNOWN CASES ACROSS THE UNITED

>> THESE THINGS HAVE TO REVIEW
ALL OF THE TIME BECAUSE EVEN THE
ACTIVITY OF COVID-19 IS CHANGING

FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH

MEDICAL CARE AND WE WOULD WANT
THEM TO BE ISOLATED, NOT
TRANSMITTING THIS INFECTION TO
OTHER PEOPLE.
WHILE THERE MIGHT BE ON THE LINE
IN TERMS OF A HOCKEY GAME, THERE
ALSO ARE PEOPLE'S HEALTH THAT'S
ON THE LINE AND THAT'S GOT TO BE
ADDRESSED, AS WELL, AND THAT'S
MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING
ELSE.
>> LET'S GO FROM ONE HIGH
PROFILE CONVERSATION TO ONE THAT
CONTINUES TO GET A LOT OF
ATTENTION.
SHOULD MASKS BE MANDATORY WHEN
YOU GO OUTSIDE?
>> YEAH, OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A
VERY CONTENTIOUS SUBJECT AND
PEOPLE HAVE, OBVIOUSLY, STRONG
OPINIONS ON THIS MATTER.
WE REALLY TAKE A STEP BACK
THINKING ABOUT WHAT ARE THE
PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDELINES NOW?
IT'S CLEAR AND WE'RE TOLD WE
SHOULD -- ACTUALLY, WE'RE
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT WE
WEAR MASKS IN AREAS WHERE WE
CAN'T PRACTISE PHYSICAL
DISTANCING, ESPECIALLY IN-DOOR
AREAS, SUCH AS GROCERY STORES OR
IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
PRETTY CLEAR.
THIS ISSUE OF MANDATING MASKS IS
RATHER CONTENTIOUS, BECAUSE IF
WE MANDATE MASKS, WE I HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS.
ARE YOU NOT GOING TO LET SOMEONE
ON A BUS OR A SUBWAY BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE A MASK?
THAT BRINGS UP EQUITY ISSUES.
THIS IS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
AND IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.
IF YOU MANDATE THEM, YOU HAVE TO
GIVE THEM OUT FOR FREE.
THE OTHER ISSUE COMES UP IS
ENFORCEMENT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
WILL YOU HAVE BYLAW OFFICERS
WRITING FINES AND TICKETS FOR
PEOPLE?
THAT MIGHT BE HARD TO
RECOGNISED, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE
SEE CANADA IS A MASSIVE PLACE
AND SUCH AS THE GTA AND IS UNDER
CONTROL NOW, BUT WHAT ABOUT
MANITOBA, WHERE THERE'S SEVEN
ACTIVE CASES OR THOMPSON,
MANITOBA, WHERE THERE'S ZERO
CASES, WILL YOU MANDATE MASKING
THERE?
THERE'S A LOT THAT NEED TO BE
CONSIDERED BEFORE THAT STEP IS
TAKEN, I THINK.
>> LOTS TO BE CONSIDERED, AS YOU
SAY AND REGIONAL DIFFERENCES,
SOMETIMES WE GLOSS ON THESE
THINGS TALKING ABOUT COVID.
ALWAYS NICE TO TALK TO YOU.
>> ANY TIME.
>> WE ASK YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT
COVID-19 ON THIS PROGRAMME.
YOU CAN MESSAGE US ON INSTAGRAM
OR SEND US AN
EMAIL@COVID@CBC.CA.
>>> THE PAST FEW MONTHS HAVE
BEEN AGONIZING FOR FAMILIES WITH
LOVED ONES IN CARE.
WE'VE MURDE HEARD FROM ADULT CHILDREN
BARRED FROM VISITING ELDERLY
PARENTS BUT THIS IS A REVERSE
STORY.
>> Reporter:  FAMILY LA
LIBRALESSO HAS NOT SEEN HER SON
SINCE MARCH.
HE'S USED TO SPENDING EVERY
WEEKEND WITH HIS FAMILY AND IN
THE SUMMER, THAT MEANT PLAYING
IN THE POOL, HIS FAVOURITE
THING.
EVERYDAY WITHOUT HIM NOW TAKES A
TOLE.
HE WOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO
UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYBODY HAS
DISAPPEARED.
>> Reporter:  THERE'S ONLY ONE
OTHER CHILD LIVES INSIDE WITH
STAFF ROTATING THROUGH.
>> I HAVE NO SEEN ANY EVIDENCE
THAT WE WOULD BE ANY MORE OF A
RISK THAN THE STAFF THAT ARE
ALREADY GOING IN AND OUT.
>> Reporter:  BUT ACCESS INSIDE
IS RESTRICTED TO ESSENTIAL
VISITORS ONLY, DEFINED BY THE
PROVINCE AS SOMEONE NECESSARY TO
MAINTAIN THE HEALTH, PELLNESS
AND SAFETWELLNESSAND SAFETY OF A RESIDENT.
THAT'S UP TO HOMES TO INTERPRET
AND THEY'RE KEEPING HIS PARENTS
OUT, IT SAYS, FOR HEALTH AND
SAFETY.
>> IT'S PAINFUL FOR THE FAMILY
CAREGIVERS BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT
WE DO.
>> Reporter:  LIBRALESSO'S SON
STRUGGLES WITH VIDEO CALLS AND
FEARS OUTDOOR VISITS.
>> IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY
DISTRESSING TO SEE US IN THE
FLESH AND NOT BE ABLE TO COME TO
US.
>> Reporter:  SHE HAS FILED A
COMPLAINT WITH THE HUMAN RIGHT'S
TRIBUNAL SAYING THAT SIMCO S COULD
SAFELY PROVIDE FOR ACCESS.
>> WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE
UNDERSTANDS AND CAN ONLY ASSUME
HOW STRESSFUL IT CAN BE ON HIM.
>> Reporter:  THIS PROFESSOR
SAYS RESTRICTIONS ARE CAUSING
MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
>> ALL THEY WERE DOING IS
FEARING THE RISK OF VIRAL
TRANSMISSION AND THEY WEREN'T
THINKING ABOUT THE DEADLY RISKS
OF ISOLATION.
>> Reporter:  FOR NOW LIBRALESSO
IS DREAMING OF THE FUTURE.
>> WHE WILL CLIMB ON US AND
CUDDLE WITH US AND NOT LEAVE AND
THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO MOST.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," TALKING ABOUT RACISM
ON A DIFFICULT ANNIVERSARY.
>> PRIVILEGE AND TALKING ABOUT
IT, UNCOMFORTABLE, SURE, BUT IT
HAS TO BE DONE.

STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE AND LATER

PAVING THE WAY F
>>> SHE'S MADE THIS COUNTRY
PROUD, A TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION
HURDLELER, WHAT TWO-TIME
OLYMPIAN AND CANADIAN CHAMP TEN
TIMES OVER.
BUT AS RACISM IS GETTING
ATTENTION, SHE WANTS TO GIVE YOU
HER PERSPECTIVE AS A BLACK WOMAN
AND MOTHER LIVING IN CANADA.
>> SO IT'S JUNETEENTH, A DAY TO
HONOUR THE EMANCIPATION OF
ENSLAVED BLACK PEOPLE AND A DAY
THAT CELEBRATES PEOPLE, BUT I
HAVE TO BE HONEST, WHEN I LOOK
AROUND AT ALL OF THE RACIAL
TURMOIL HAPPENING, I QUESTION
JUST HOW FAR WE'VE MOVED THE
NEEDLE ON THE SUBJECT OF RACE IN
THE LAST CENTURY AND A HALF.
IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE MUCH.
AS CANADIANS, WE THINK WE'RE
BETTER THAN AMERICANS ON THIS
ISSUE OF RACISM.
HERE IS WHAT I KNOW, RACISM
DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OUR BORDERS.
AND HERE IS ANOTHER TRUTH, THIS
ONE I'M NOT SO PROUD OF, AS A
BLACK WOMAN, I QUESTION IF
RACISM IS EVEN SOMETHING THAT WE
CAN BEAT.
IS IT EVEN SOMETHING THAT WE CAN
CONQUER?
THE CONVERSATIONS AND PROTESTING
AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY AND
ANSWER BLACK INDIGENOUS RACISM
IN THE LOUDEST IT'S EVER BEEN IF
MY LIFETIME AND THAT GIVES ME
HOPE.
I'M SO PROUD OF THIS GENERATION
WHO IS RAGING AGAINST THIS
RACIAL EQUALITY, THROWING FLAMES
AT IT AND STONE.
THEY'RE DEMANDING CHANGE,
DIS-MANTLING WITH FISTS HELD
HIGH AND SOLIDARITY.
SO WHAT I WONDER IS IF THIS CAN
BE FIXED.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT I CAN LET MY
DAUGHTER, THERE'S NO WAY THAT
YOU SHOULD LETTER AND THE NEXT
GENERATION TO COME INHERIT THIS
BATTLE.
I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP OUT OF
THIN AIR.
IT'S REAL.
TALKING ABOUT PRIVILEGE AND
TALKING ABOUT IT, UNCOMFORTABLE?
SURE.
BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE END THIS
AND GET RID OF THIS STAIN
FOREVER.
AND SO, DO I BELIEVE I COULD WIN
EVERY RACE?
NO, NOT ALWAYS.
BUT THIS IS A RACE I BELIEVE WE
CAN WIN.
IT'S A RACE I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO
WIN.
 FOR THE NEXT GENERATION SO
THIS ISN'T A THING ANY MORE.
THIS RACIAL DIVIDE, I HOPE
YOU'RE SICK OF IT BECAUSE I AM.
>> WHEN WE COME BACK, CHANGING
THE GAME.
>> TODAY THE DEVELOPERS ARE
LISTENING, THE ACCESSIBILITY IS
BECOMING MORE IMPORTANT FOR
THOSE PEOPLE WHO, REGARDLESS OF
QUARANTINE, MAYBE DON'T LEAVE
THEIR HOUSE VERY MUCH.
>> HOW A NEW VIDEO GAME IS
IMPROVING DIVERSITY AND
>> Ian:  A NEW VIDEO GAME SET IN
A POST PANDEMIC WORLD IS
BREAKING BARRIERS CALLED THE
LAST OF US, TOO.
AND IT NOT ONLY HAS A KEY LGBT
CHARACTER BUT MADE WITH
PREVIOUSLY OVERLOOKED GAMERS IN
MIND.
>> KNEETHESE ARE SOME OF THE PRESETS
FOR HEARING ACCESSIBILITY.

DEMONSTRATING SOME OF THE ACCESS
ABILITIES.
>> I CAN CLIMB UP A ROPE.
>> Reporter:  THE TORONTO GAMER
IS BRIANIS BLIND, HE WAS A CONSULTANT
FOR THE PLAY STATION 4 GAME.
>> THE BAR WAS HERE AT A CERTAIN
POINT FOR ACCESSIBILITY AND NOW
PART TWO IS WAY UP HERE.
>> Reporter:  THE CHARITY-ABLED
GAMERS CALLS THIS A MILESTONE
ESTIMATING MILLIONS OF GAMERS
WITH MILLIONS OF DISABILITIES
ACROSS THE U.S. AND CANADA.
>> TODAY, DEVELOPERS ARE LISTENS
AND ACCESSIBILITY IS BECOMING
MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT,
REGARDLESS OF QUARANTINE, THEY
DON'T LEAVE THEIR HOUSE OR GO TO
A CONCERT OR OUT TO A BAR OR
CLUB AND MAYBE VIDEO GAMES ARE
HOW THEY STAY CONNECTED.
>> Reporter:  THE LAST OF US
FOLLOWS ELLIE IN A POST APOL
POSTAPOCALYPTIC WORLD, THE
CHARACTER IS UNIQUE FOR ANOTHER
REASON, AS WELL.
SHE'S OPENLY GAY.
>> ON A SCALE OF 1-10, HOW DO
YOU RATE OUR KISS FROM LAST
NIGHT?
>> IT IS EXTREMELY RARE IN VIDEO
GAMES.
THE REPRESENTATION OF QUEER
WOMEN HAS NOT BEEN GREAT OVER
THE YEARS AND AS A QUEER WOMEN
MYSELF, I'M EXCITED TO SEE A
CHARACTER LIKE ELLIE.
>> Reporter:  THE GAME IS NOT
WITHOUT ITS CRITICS AND SOME
CALL THIS TOO BLOODY.
AND THE STORYLINE NOT THAT
DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST.
BUT SAYLOR SAYS THE LGBTQ
REPRESENTATION ON SCREEN AND
ACCESSIBILITY MAKES THE GAME AND
THE GAME CHANGER.

AND THE 22-YEAR-OLD HUMAN
RIGHT'S ACTIVIST SAYS IT WAS
HARD TO EXPRESS HER JOY AND
GRATITUDE.
AND OTHER STUDENTS ARE FINISHING
THEIR SCHOOL YEAR AND FOR MOST,
IT'S ALL BEEN DONE ON LINE.
ONE TORONTO STUDENT DID HER
FINAL PROJECT IN A CREATIVE WAY
BY MAKING A SHORT FILM ON WHAT
IT'S LIKE TO AND STUDENT DURING
THIS QUARANTINE AND THAT IS OUR
"MOMENT."
>> IT WAS ORIGINALLY A SCHOOL
PROJECT GIVEN TO ME BY MY ART
PROJECT AND I HAD BEEN MAKING A
LOT OF QUARANTINED ART AND I
WANTED TO DO SOMETHING RELATED
TO QUARANTINE AND SO I DECIDED
TO DO THE IDEA OF EXPLORING HOW
ISOLATION CAN AFFECT YOUR MENTAL
HEALTH AND THAT FEELING AND,
LIKE, MY MOVIE IS A LITTLE BIT
MORE OF A GENERALIZATION OF HOW
WE'RE ALL FEELING.
YOU'RE JUST ALONE, IN LOCKDOWN
AND YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE AND
YOU'RE JUST FEELING ALONE AND
SAD AND NOTHING ELSE TO DO AND
YOU JUST FEEL NUMB.
IT'S REALLY BEEN DIFFICULT NOT
TO SEE MY FRIENDS.
I MEAN, I'M IN GRADE 9 AND I
FINALLY FOUND A GOOD GROUP OF
FRIENDS.
IT TOOK ME AROUND TWO TO THREE
WEEKS TO DO THE WHOLE THING.
WHEN I HANDED IT IN, MY TEACHER
SAID THAT HE WAS PRETTY
IMPRESSED.
>> NO KIDDING, I CAN'T WAIT TO
SEE THE KIND OF ART SHE'S ABLE
TO DO AS SHE GETS OLDER.
WHEN I WAS HER AGE, I THING
POSTERBOARD AND A COLLAGE FROM
MAGAZINES WAS THE EXTENT OF MY
ART.
ANYWAY, SO MUCH FOR ME.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
JUNE 19th.
GOODNIGHT.
NEW BRUNSWICK.
