>> Adrienne: TONIGHT A
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY THAT IS
TOTALLY OUT OF THIS WORLD.
>> WE HAVE SEEN WHAT WE THOUGHT
WAS UNSEEABLE.
>> Adrienne: FOR THE FIRST
TIME SCIENTISTS HAVE CAPTURED AN
IMAGE OF A BLACK HOLE.
>> THIS MARKS THE BEGINNING OF
A NEW ERA IN ASTRONOMY.
>> Adrienne: WHAT THAT SINGLE
SHOT MEANS FOR SCIENCE HERE ON
EARTH.
(*)
>> PLEASE, DO NOT WASTE THIS
TIME.
>> Rosemary: ANOTHER TWIST IN
THE BREXIT DRAMA.
THE E.U. AGREES TO AN EXTENSION
UNTIL OCTOBER 31st.
IS IT A TRICK OR A TREAT FOR THE
U.K.?
(*)
>> Adrienne: AND BILLIONS FOR
TRANSIT.
>> WE ARE BUILDING SUBWAYS, MY
FRIENDS.
>> Adrienne: THE AMBITIOUS
PLAN TO EASE CONGESTION IN
CANADA'S LARGEST CITY, BUT WILL
IT EVER HAPPEN?
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>>> EVEN FOR PHYSICISTS, BLACK
HOLES CHALLENGE THE IMAGINATION.
EINSTEIN'S OWN EQUATIONS
PREDICTED THEM BUT HE DOUBTED
THEY EXISTED.
AND A BLACK HOLE HAS NEVER
ACTUALLY BEEN SEEN, NOT
DIRECTLY, UNTIL NOW.
NOW WE HAVE AN IMAGE OF SPACE
AND TIME BENT TOWARDS INFINITY.
A HOLE THAT SWALLOWS EVERYTHING,
EVEN LIGHT.
AND IN THAT DARKNESS SCIENTISTS
SEE A NEW DAWN FOR OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE.
KAS ROUSSY EXPLAINS THE PICTURE
AND THE WAVES THAT IT'S MAKING.
>> Reporter: FOR ONE OF THE
DEEPEST MYSTERIES IN THE
UNIVERSE...
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> TO SHARE IN THIS
EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT...
>> Reporter: THE REVEAL WAS A
GLOBAL EVENT WITH SIMULTANEOUS
NEWS CONFERENCES AROUND THE
WORLD.
>> HERE IT IS.
[Applause]
>> Reporter: THE FIRST EVER
IMAGE OF A BLACK HOLE.
>> WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE
TO REPORT TO YOU TODAY THAT WE
HAVE SEEN WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS
UNSEEABLE.
>> Reporter: SCIENTISTS
DESCRIBE IT AS A MONSTER.
>> A SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE
THAT IS ALMOST THE SIZE OF OUR
ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM.
>> Reporter: THIS BLACK HOLE
WAS FOUND IN A GALAXY CALLED
M87, 55 MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY
FROM EARTH.
THE IMAGE, A BIT FUZZY BUT IT
DOES SHOW THE INNER HOLE OF THE
BLACK HOLE, THE SO-CALLED EVENT
HORIZON, WHERE THE GRAVITATIONAL
PULL IS SO STRONG THAT EVEN
LIGHT CAN'T ESCAPE.
SURROUNDING THIS IS A BRIGHT
ORANGE RING OF FIRE CAUSED BY
SUPER HEATED GASES AND DUST.
>> TO SEE SOMETHING FOR THE
FIRST TIME, TO KNOW THAT YOU
HAVE UNCOVERED PART OF THE
UNIVERSE THAT WAS OFF-LIMITS TO
US.
WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT IS AN
EXTRAORDINARY FEELING.
>> Reporter: TO CAPTURE THIS
FIRST EVER IMAGE -- NOT ONE BUT
A NETWORK OF EIGHT GIANT
TELESCOPES WERE SCATTERED AROUND
THE GLOBE, CREATING AN
EARTH-SIZED TELESCOPE AND
COLLECTING MILLIONS OF GIGABYTES
OF ERA.
>> THIS IS A NEW ERA OF RESEARCH
INTO GRAVITY AND WE ARE STANDING
AT THE THRESHOLD TODAY.
>> AT NEARLY LIGHT SPEED...
>> Reporter: THE IMAGE
CONFIRMS WHAT THE SCIENTISTS HAD
BELIEVED WHAT A BLACK HOLE WOULD
LOOK LIKE.
BUT IT ALSO SHOWS THAT ALBERT
EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF GENERAL
RELATIVITY WAS RIGHT ALL THOSE
YEARS AGO.
KAS ROUSSY, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: SO THERE'S NO ONE
BETTER TO TALK TO ON A DAY LIKE
THIS THAN BOB McDONALD.
SO, BOB, FOR SURE THIS SEEMS
LIKE A MARVEL BUT WHY IS
DIRECTLY SEEING A BLACK HOLE SO
IMPORTANT FOR SCIENCE?
>> WELL, ADRIENNE, IT SHOWS US
THAT THEY'RE REALLY OUT THERE.
WE HAVE FINALLY SEEN ONE.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE BEEN
THEORIZING ABOUT THESE THINGS
FOR SO MANY YEARS, AND
PREDICTING WHAT THEY WOULD BE
LIKE.
BUT UNTIL YOU SEE
ONE IN NATURE YOU DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'RE RIGHT.
SO, YEAH, THE SCIENTISTS ARE
RIGHT.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ALL JUMPING
UP AND DOWN AND THEY'RE SO HAPPY
ABOUT IT.
BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THAT PICTURE
AND I SEE THAT FUZZY DOUGHNUT,
THE DARK SPACE IN THE MIDDLE, I
SEE THE LIMITS OF OUR KNOWLEDGE.
BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES
ON IN THERE BECAUSE ONCE YOU
PASS THAT EVENT HORIZON, ALL OF
THE LAWS OF PHYSICS THAT WE KNOW
IN OUR UNIVERSE JUST BREAK DOWN.
SO IT'S KIND OF EXCITING THAT
NOW WE CAN SEE BLACK HOLES IN
ACTION AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT ONE
OF THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL FORCES
IN NATURE -- GRAVITY.
THAT'S HOLDING YOU IN YOUR CHAIR
RIGHT NOW.
IT REACHES OUT TO THE EDGE OF
THE UNIVERSE BUT WE CAN'T
CONTROL IT.
AND MAYBE BY UNDERSTANDING IT A
LITTLE BETTER, SOMEDAY, WHO
KNOWS, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TURN
IT OFF.
>> Adrienne: SO IF WE KNOW
THAT IT'S REAL AND WE HAVE SEEN
IT, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THAT
INFORMATION?
>> WELL, THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL
SCIENCE, IT'S BASIC SCIENCE,
JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW
THE UNIVERSE WORKS.
BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT WE
LEARNED WHEN WE FOUND OTHER
FORCES -- LOOK WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN WE FOUND MAGNETISM AND WE
COULD MAKE COMPASSES AND SAIL
OVER THE HORIZON.
OR WE DISCOVERED ELECTRICITY, MY
GOD, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED WITH
THAT STUFF.
SO GRAVITY IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE
FORCES THAT IS OUT THERE AND WE
CAN'T CONTROL IT.
BUT IF WE COULD OR
IF WE COULD INTEGRATE IT WITH
THE OTHER FORCES IN THE UNIVERSE
WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT WILL BRING.
IT WILL BE FUTURE GENERATIONS,
GRANDCHILDREN FROM NOW, WHO WILL
BENEFIT FROM IT.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE JUST WANT TO
UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS AND
TODAY WAS A BIG MILESTONE BY
ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO SEE IT
WORK IN ACTION FOR REAL.
>> Adrienne: THERE ARE NO
LIMITS TO YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
BOB McDONALD, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
>> OKAY, ADRIENNE.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO WHAT
LIES INSIDE OF THE BLACK HOLE?
AND IF YOU COULD GET TO THE EDGE
OF ONE AND DIP IN -- NOT THAT
YOU COULD -- BUT STILL, WHAT
WOULD HAPPEN THEN?
THE ANSWER IS A MATTER OF HEATED
DEBATE.
ONCE YOU PIERCE THE EVENT
HORIZON THERE'S REALLY NO
TURNING BACK.
ONE THEORY IS THAT YOU'RE
ENVELOPED IN DARKNESS AND AT
FIRST MIGHT NOT FEEL ANYTHING AT
ALL BUT SOON ENOUGH
GRAVITATIONAL FORCES PULL YOU,
STRETCHING YOU LIKE A NOODLE.
A PROCESS THAT IS ACTUALLY
CALLED SPAGHETTIFICATION AND
YOU'RE SWITCHED INTO AN
INFINITELY SMALL POINT.
OR IT MAY GET WORSE.
SOME THEORIZE THAT BEYOND THE
EVENT HORIZON THERE'S A WALL OF
FIRE THAT WOULD INCINERATE YOU
LONG BEFORE YOU TURNED INTO
SPAGHETTI.
SO SHORT ANSWER, JUST DON'T GO
INTO A BLACK HOLE.
SO FORGIVE ME, ROSY, BUT WHILE
WE TALK ABOUT POINTS OF NO
RETURN, U.K. IS HEADING TOWARDS
BREXIT WITH NO DEAL BUT THERE
MIGHT BE A REPRIEVE?
>> Rosemary: HOPEFULLY NOT A
BLACK HOLE THOUGH, ADRIENNE.
THERE WAS A BIG ASK TO DELAY
THE U.K.'S BREXIT AGAIN.
THE E.U.'S ANSWER TONIGHT HAS A
SPOOKY RING TO IT --
OCTOBER 31st, A DEADLINE THAT
BUYS THERESA MAY SOME
DESPERATELY NEEDED TIME.
BUT AS THOMAS DAIGLE TELLS US,
IT DOESN'T SOLVE MAY'S
CONSIDERABLE PROBLEMS AT HOME.
>> Reporter: SHE'S BEEN HERE
BEFORE.
THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER IN
BRUSSELS TO ASK FOR A LITTLE
MORE TIME AND PATIENCE IN A
PLACE THAT IS RUNNING LOW ON
BOTH.
>> I KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE
FRUSTRATED THAT THIS IS TAKING
PLACE AT ALL, BECAUSE THE U.K.
SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE E.U. BY
NOW.
>> Reporter: LEADERS FROM
ACROSS
EUROPE AGAIN PUT EVERYTHING ON
HOLD TO COME TO DEAL WITH
BRITAIN'S MESSY E.U. DIVORCE.
THE MAIN POWER BROKERS,
APPARENTLY SPLIT OVER WHETHER TO
GIVE IN TO BRITAIN'S DEMAND OR
MAKE THE BREXITERS SWEAT A
LITTLE.
>> THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR ANGELA
MERKEL ASKING TO DISCUSS THE
BRITISH PRIME MINISTER'S REQUEST
WITH AN OPEN MIND.
LURKING IN THE BACKGROUND, THE
THREAT OF A NO-DEAL BREXIT ON
FRIDAY AND THE FRENCH PRESIDENT
ADOPTING A HARDLINE STANCE.
>> [Speaking French]
>> Reporter: NOTHING SHOULD BE
TAKEN FOR GRANTED, SAID EMMANUEL
MACRON, CERTAINLY NOT A LONG
EXTENSION.
THERE'S AN AIR OF EXASPERATION
HERE.
JUST ASK THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT'S LONGEST SERVING
MEMBER ELMAR BROK.
>> PEOPLE ARE FED UP AND SOMEONE
WANTS TO GO OUT OF AN ENTITY,
YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE HOW.
>> Reporter: IT SOUNDS TIRING.
>> IT'S TIRING.
>> Reporter: E.U. LEADERS
SPENT HOURS IN THIS ROOM
DEBATING THE LENGTH OF THE
BREXIT DELAY, AGREEING ONLY WELL
AFTER MIDNIGHT ON A NEW DEADLINE
OF OCTOBER 31st.
>> I DO NOT PRETEND THAT THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS WILL BE EASY OR
THERE'S A SIMPLE WAY TO BREAK
THE DEADLOCK IN PARL.
>> Reporter: THE NEW TARGET
DATE, SIX MONTHS
AWAY, WILL REMOVE THE PRESSURE
ON M.P.s IN LONDON TO ACCEPT
MAY'S UNPOPULAR BREXIT DEAL.
THE PRESSURE ON HER THOUGH WILL
ONLY RAMP UP.
THE PRIME MINISTER HAD ALREADY
PLEDGED TO RESIGN SOON AND NOW
AFTER FAILING TO DELIVER BREXIT
ON TIME TWICE, SHE COULD BE
FORCED OUT THE DOOR EVEN SOONER
THAN PLANNED.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS,
BRUSSELS.
>> Rosemary: SO WHAT COULD
HAPPEN IN SIX MONTHS?
MAYBE A LOT -- PERHAPS A DEAL,
PERHAPS A LEADERSHIP REVIEW,
PERHAPS A NEW VOTE.
OR PERHAPS WE ALL MIGHT NEED TO
LEARN A NEW BREXIT WORD --
"BREXITENSION" THAT SOME ARE
MUTTERING TONIGHT BECAUSE THE
E.U. HAS NOT ENTIRELY RULED OUT
NOW THAT
OCTOBER 31st MIGHT NOT BE A
FINAL DEADLINE.
>>> OKAY, NOW TO A CBC NEWS
INVESTIGATION
WHERE OUR "GO PUBLIC" TEAM FIRST
BROUGHT YOU STORIES ABOUT
AGGRESSIVE SALES TACTICS AT THE
BIG BANKS AND THE BANK REGULATOR
LOOKED INTO IT AND ISSUED A
REPORT.
BUT NOW THERE ARE QUESTIONS
ABOUT HOW INDEPENDENT THAT
REPORT REALLY WAS.
AS ERICA JOHNSON TELLS US,
INTERNAL GOVERNMENT
DOCUMENTS SHOW THAT THE BANKS
THEMSELVES WEIGHED IN AND SO DID
THE FEDERAL FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
>> A CLOUD OF ALLEGATIONS...
>> Reporter: THE PRESSURE WAS
ON FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DO
SOMETHING AFTER REPORTS OF
AGGRESSIVE SALES PRACTICES AT
CANADA'S BIG BANKS.
>> THE CALLS FOR ACTION ARE
GROWING.
>> Reporter: BANK EMPLOYEES
WERE TELLING "GO PUBLIC," THEY
LIED ABOUT MORTGAGE
RATES, CREDIT CARD FEES,
INVESTMENT PRODUCTS TO TRY TO
HIT SALES TARGETS.
>> YOU FEEL PRETTY AWFUL KNOWING
THAT YOU COULD HAVE CAUSED
SERIOUS HARM TO THEM ALL IN THE
NAME OF PROFIT FOR A BANK.
>> Reporter: THE BANKING
REGULATOR, THE FINANCIAL
CONSUMER AGENCY OF CANADA,
ISSUED ITS REPORT LAST YEAR,
SAYING THAT THERE WAS A SHARP
FOCUS ON SALES.
BUT IT DID NOT FIND WIDESPREAD
MISSELLING.
NOW INTERNAL GOVERNMENT
DOCUMENTS REVEAL THAT REGULATOR
SENT A DRAFT COPY OF ITS REPORT
TO THE BANKS THEMSELVES WEEKS
BEFORE RELEASING A FINAL REPORT.
>> THEY HAVE DISPROPORTIONATE
ACCESS AND PERHAPS
DISPROPORTIONATE INFLUENCE AND
IT'S TOO MUCH BEHIND THE SCENES
AND NOT ENOUGH OUT IN THE OPEN.
>> Reporter: REGULATORS SAY
THAT IT GAVE THE BANKS THE
REPORT SO THEY COULD "IDENTIFY
FACTUAL ERRORS."
THE DOCUMENTS REVEAL THAT THE
REGULATOR SENT THE FINANCE
MINISTER A DRAFT COPY.
IT'S HARD TO SAY WHAT HAPPENED
BUT THE NEXT VERSION OF THE
REPORT WAS WEAKENED.
>> THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT IT
SAID THAT REQUIRES THE BANKS TO
DO THIS AND THAT, REALLY
EFFECTIVE REQUIREMENTS, WERE
CHANGED INTO SUGGESTIONS.
>> Reporter: A LINE THAT WOULD
REQUIRE THE BANKS TO WORK IN THE
"BEST INTEREST OF THEIR
CUSTOMERS" DISAPPEARED.
ANOTHER LINE WAS ADDED, SAYING
THAT "THE REGULATOR DID NOT FIND
WIDESPREAD MISSELLING DURING ITS
REVIEW."
>> THE LINE THAT THE AGENCY
DIDN'T FIND WIDESPREAD PROBLEM
IS ACTUALLY CONTRADICTED BY WHAT
IS IN THE
REST OF THE REPORT.
>> Reporter: THE MINISTER'S
OFFICE TOLD "GO PUBLIC" IT "DID
NOT PROVIDE COMMENTS OR REQUEST
ANY EDITS TO THE FCAC'S REPORT."
HOWEVER NOTES IN THE MARGIN OF A
DRAFT COPY SHOW THAT THE FINANCE
MINISTER'S DEPARTMENT WEIGHED IN
AT LEAST SIX TIMES.
THE FINANCE MINISTRY SAID THAT
IT WAS ROUTINE TO SHARE
DOCUMENTS AND TO CONFIRM FACTS.
>> Rosemary: AND ERICA IS
JOINING US NOW.
ALL RIGHT.
ANY COMMENT FROM THE FINANCE
MINISTER OR THE BANK, ERICA?
>> Reporter: WE ASKED FOR AN
INTERVIEW WITH THE MINISTER OF
FINANCE, BILL MORNEAU, BUT WE
WERE
TOLD THAT HE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
WE ASKED THE BANKS ABOUT WHAT
APPEARED TO BE THEIR RESPONSE TO
THE DRAFT REPORT FROM THE
REGULATOR.
PAGES AND PAGES COMPLETELY
BLACKED OUT.
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S IN THEM.
AND THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE BANK
WOULDN'T ELABORATE.
>> Rosemary: OKAY, SO DESPITE
ALL OF THIS THOUGH, THERE ARE
SOME NEW CONSUMER PROTECTION
COMING AT SOME POINT?
>> Reporter: THERE ARE.
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SAID
AFTER THE BANK REVIEW THEY
DECIDED TO ADD SOME MORE
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS IN THE BANK 
ACT WHICH WAS RECENTLY PASSED.
AND AMONGST THOSE PROTECTIONS
ARE
NEW RULES TO PROHIBIT BANKS FROM
ENGAGING IN HIGH PRESSURE SALES
TACTICS.
AND THE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT
IT'S NOW WORKING ON IMPLEMENTING
THOSE NEW PROTECTIONS.
>> Rosemary: OKAY, ERICA
JOHNSON, THANK YOU.
>> Reporter: THANK YOU.
>> Adrienne: FROM FRUSTRATION
OVER SALES TACTICS AT THE BANKS
TO SOMETHING ELSE THAT HAS SO
MANY COMPLAINING -- A CROWDED
COMMUTE.
HERE IN THE TORONTO AREA, THE
GOVERNMENT LAID OUT A
$28 BILLION PLAN TO FIX TRANSIT
IN CANADA'S BIGGEST CITY.
ON THE WORST DAYS THIS IS THE
TRANSIT REALITY IN TORONTO.
THOSE SUBWAY PLATFORMS
DANGEROUSLY BUSY AND PASSENGERS
JUST PACKED IN LIKE CATTLE.
THE DEBATE OVER WHAT TO DO ABOUT
IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS
AND TODAY AS PART OF THAT NEW
TRANSIT EXPANSION PLAN,
SOMETHING THAT PREMIER DOUG FORD
SAYS IS A GAME-CHANGER, A NEW,
ONTARIO LINE,
STRETCHING FROM EAST TO WEST,
RUNNING RIGHT THROUGH THE
DOWNTOWN.
AND THE PRICE TAG ON THAT ONE
LINE IS
NEARLY $11 BILLION.
WHICH IS ABOUT HOW MUCH THE
PROVINCE IS COMMITTING TO THE
WHOLE PROJECT.
BUT MONEY ISN'T ALL THAT'S
REQUIRED.
NICOLE IRELAND LOOKS AT THE NEED
AND THE POLITICS AT PLAY.
>> THE PEOPLE OF ONTARIO HAVE
WAITED LONG ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH.
>> Reporter: THE WAIT HAS BEEN
DECADES AND TRANSIT USERS FEEL
IT.
>> IF WE WEREN'T BUILDING MORE
TRANSIT, IT WOULD JUST BE MORE
CONGESTION.
SO THAT REACHES A CRITICAL MASS
AT SOME POINT.
AND THAT'S JUST ASKING FOR
FAILURE.
>> I THINK THAT IT'S A GREAT
IDEA AND WHETHER IT WILL COME TO
FRUITION OR NOT IS ANOTHER THING
ALL TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: TORONTO'S
POPULATION HAS BEEN BOOMING.
AND ENGINEERS HAVE LONG WARNED
THAT THE PUBLIC TRANSIT ISN'T
KEEPING UP.
>> WE HAVEN'T INVESTED THE WAY
THAT WE NEEDED FOR THE LAST 30
YEARS OF GROWTH.
WE'RE FACING ANOTHER 30 YEARS OF
GROWTH ON TOP OF THAT.
IT GETS ACTUALLY KIND OF SCARY
AND DAUNTING TO SAY CAN WE CATCH
UP.
>> Reporter: HERE'S FORD'S
$28 BILLION PLAN -- RELIEVE
CONGESTION IN AN EXISTING LINE
AND EXTEND THREE OTHERS.
HE EXPECTS THAT THE REST TO BE
PAID FOR BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT
AND PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WASN'T CONSULTED ON
THIS PLAN.
FINANCE BILL MORNEAU ISN'T
IMPRESSED.
>> The Hon. Bill Morneau: WE
HAVE ALREADY PUT SIGNIFICANT
FUNDING AND WE HAVE FOUND IT
DIFFICULT TO ACTUALLY GET THESE
PROJECTS GOING BECAUSE THE
ONTARIO GOVERNMENT IS NOT
AT THE TABLE TRYING TO GET THOSE
PROJECTS
HAPPENING.
AND, FRANKLY, JOBS ARE ON THE
LINE.
>> Reporter: THIS TRANSIT
ADVOCATE WORRIES THAT NOT ONLY
WILL FORD'S
PROMISES NOT BE FULFILLED BUT
THEY'LL SET BACK PROGRESS THAT
THE CITY OF TORONTO WAS ALREADY
MAKING.
JUDGE, THIS IS BASICALLY RIPPING
UP OUR CITY'S TRANSIT PLANS AND
SENDING US BACK TO SQUARE ONE.
>> Reporter: THE FIRST OF THE
BIG TICKET ITEMS, A LONG-AWAITED
DOWNTOWN RELIEF LINE, WOULDN'T
BE COMPLETED UNTIL AT LEAST
2027.
AND THAT'S ASSUMING THAT ALL OF
THE POLITICAL PLAYERS CAN GET
ALONG.
NICOLE IRELAND, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: RIGHT NOW THE
SUBWAY LINE THAT GOES INTO THE
HEART OF DOWNTOWN TORONTO RUNS
AT OR ABOVE CAPACITY EVERY
WEEKDAY, ACCORDING TO THE T.T.C.
THE RESULT OF SO FEW LINES
SERVING SO MANY PEOPLE.
AFTER NEW YORK CITY AND MEXICO
CITY, TORONTO HAS THE THIRD
BUSIEST TRANSIT SYSTEM IN NORTH
AMERICA.
A BIG PART OF IT IS STREETCAR
SERVICE.
BUT CLEAR THAT AWAY AND YOU SEE
JUST HOW SMALL THE SUBWAY
COVERAGE REALLY IS.
TORONTO'S THREE SUBWAY LINES
STRETCH FOR JUST OVER 70
KILOMETRES.
COMPARE THAT TO
MEXICO CITY WHERE 12 LINES RUN
FOR MORE THAN 200 KILOMETRES.
AND NEW YORK CITY WHERE 22
SUBWAY ROUTES COVER MORE THAN A
THOUSAND KILOMETRES.
ENOUGH TO TAKE YOU TO CHICAGO IF
THE TRACKS WERE LAID END-TO-END.
AFTER TODAY'S CASH COMMITMENT
FROM ONTARIO YOU CAN EXPECT
MORE.
TOMORROW THE FORD GOVERNMENT IS
PUTTING OUT ITS FIRST BUDGET.
WE WILL BE CRUNCHING THOSE
DETAILS TOMORROW NIGHT.
>> Rosemary: HERE'S SOME OF
THE OTHER STORIES THAT WE'RE
FOLLOWING TONIGHT...
>>> A WOMAN HAS DIED AFTER SHE
WAS STABBED IN TORONTO'S
UNDERGROUND PATH SYSTEM TONIGHT.
IT HAPPENED JUST BEFORE 8:00 IN
THE KING AND BAY AREA OF
DOWNTOWN.
THE VICTIM IS BELIEVED TO BE
BETWEEN 20 AND 30 YEARS OLD.
POLICE SAY THAT A MALE SUSPECT
FLED ON FOOT.
>> I THINK THAT SPYING DID OCCUR 
OCCUR.
AND THE QUESTION IS WHETHER IT
WAS ADEQUATELY PREDICATED AND I
WASN'T SUGGESTING THAT.
>> Rosemary: THE U.S. ATTORNEY
GENERAL WILLIAM BARR SPARKED
CONTROVERSY TODAY SAYING THAT HE
BELIEVED THAT INTELLIGENCE
AGENCIES SPIED ON THE 2016 TRUMP
CAMPAIGN.
HE WAS SPEAKING IN FRONT OF A
CONGRESSIONAL HEARING THAT WAS
DOMINATED BY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
RUSSIA INVESTIGATION.
AND DEMOCRATS ARE NOW FURIOUS
AND
DEMANDED THAT BARR RETRACT HIS
COMMENTS UNLESS HE HAS SPECIFIC
EVIDENCE TO BACK THEM UP.
>>> MORE THAN FOUR MILLION
PEOPLE ARE UNDER BLIZZARD
WARNINGS TONIGHT, BUT DON'T
WORRY, IT'S IN THE U.S. MIDWEST.
THEY ARE BRACING FOR A POTENTIAL 
POTENTIALLY
RECORD-BREAKING SPRING STORM AND
HIGH WINDS AND WRITEOUTS ARE
EXPECTED TO LAST UNTIL TOMORROW.
AND ALREADY MORE THAN 700
FLIGHTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN
CANCELLED.
IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM THERE.
MEANWHILE QUÉBECERS ARE STILL
RECOVERING FROM THEIR OWN STORM
TWO DAYS AFTER THE PROVINCE WAS
WHALLOPPED WITH FREEZING RAIN.
THE CREWS ARE MAKING PROGRESS,
NOW JUST TENS OF THOUSANDS ARE
WITHOUT POWER.
AT THE BLACKOUT PEAK, 613,000
CUSTOMERS WERE IN THE DARK.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON
"THE NATIONAL"... THE DAY AFTER
THE ELECTION HOW DO ISRAELIS
FEEL ABOUT THEIR CHOICE?
>> Rosemary: BUT JUST DAYS
BEFORE
ALBERTANS HEAD TO THE POLLS, NEW
QUESTIONS RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT
HOW THE UNITED CONSERVATIVES
CHOSE ITS LEADER.
>> Adrienne: AND, LATER...
FIGHTING HATE WITH FRIENDSHIP.
THE UNLIKELY BOND THAT HAS THESE
TWO MEN PUSHING FOR CHANGE.
>> WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT OUR
DADS AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT
OUR DAUGHTERS.
AND WE FOUND OUT THAT AS WE WERE
SHARING STORIES OF OUR LOVED
ONES, LIKE, HOW SIMILAR -- NOT
ONLY OUR LOVED ONES WERE, BUT
HOW SIMILAR WE WERE.
(*)
(*)
>> AND, YOU KNOW, FOLKS, ALBERTA
ELECTIONS, THEY HAVE A WAY OF
SURPRISING PEOPLE.
AND I THINK THAT THIS ONE MIGHT
JUST DO THAT AS WELL.
>> IF YOU WANT A GOVERNMENT THAT
WILL WITHOUT APOLOGY STAND UP TO
JUSTIN TRUDEAU AND THE
FOREIGN-FUNDED SPECIAL INTERESTS
AND REALLY FIGHT LIKE NEVER
BEFORE FOR THE INDUSTRY THAT IS
CREATED SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY FOR
US, THEN, PLEASE, WORK HARD IN
THE NEXT SIX DAYS.
>> Rosemary: JUST SIX DAYS
FROM NOW ALBERTA VOTERS WILL
CHOOSE THEIR NEXT GOVERNMENT.
TONIGHT CBC NEWS REVEALED
DOCUMENTS THAT RAISED QUESTIONS
ABOUT HOW THE FRONT-RUNNING
PARTY CHOSE ITS LEADER BACK IN
2017.
MEMBERS OF THE UNITED
CONSERVATIVE PARTY NEEDED
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS,
PINS, TO CAST THEIR VOTES
ONLINE.
WE FOUND THAT FRAUDULENT EMAIL
ADDRESSES WHICH INCLUDED THE
NAMES OF REAL PARTY MEMBERS
WERE USED TO SEND OUT SOME OF
THOSE PINS.
THE REAL MEMBERS NEVER
RECEIVED THEM, BUT THOSE VOTES
WERE CAST.
THE RCMP IS NOW INVESTIGATING.
AND CAROLYN DUNN TAKES US
THROUGH THIS CBC NEWS
INVESTIGATION.
>> Reporter: IN A BUSTLING
COFFEE SHOP, A MAN THAT WE'LL
CALL "ROG" MET CBC NEWS ON TWO
CONDITIONS -- THAT WE DON'T
PHOTOGRAPH HIM AND WE DISGUISE
HIS RECORDED VOICE.
HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT THE
RAMIFICATIONS OF SPEAKING
PUBLICLY WITHIN HIS TIGHT
INDO-CANADIAN COMMUNITY.
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY THAT A
JOURNALIST TELLS YOU THAT
SOMEONE CAST A VOTE IN YOUR NAME 
NAME.
CBC NEWS LOOKED AT 49 PARTY
CONSERVATIVE PARTY MEMBERSHIPS
INCLUDING THOSE OF
ROG AND HIS FAMILY BECAUSE THEY
WERE LINKED TO
SUSPICIOUS-LOOKING EMAIL
DOMAINS.
WITH LINKED LISTS AND
VOTER REGISTRATIONS AND VOTER
CONFIRMATIONS THAT WE WERE ABLE
TO PIECE TOGETHER A
DISCONCERTING PICTURE.
ALL OF THE EMAIL DOMAINS HAD
BEEN PURCHASED ANONYMOUSLY FROM
A COMPANY CALLED BLUEHOST.
ALL WERE PURCHASED WITHIN FIVE
WEEKS OF THE U.C.P. LEADERSHIP
VOTE.
NONE OF THE DOZENS OF THE U.C.P. 
MEMBERS WE HAD MANAGED TO REACH
HAD EVER HEARD OF THE BOGUS
EMAIL ADDRESSES.
NONE KNEW THAT A P.I.N. WHICH
ALLOWS A MEMBER TO VOTE ONLINE,
HAD BEEN ISSUED TO THE FAKE
EMAIL BEARING THEIR NAME.
NONE KNEW A VOTE HAD BEEN CAST
IN THEIR NAME.
OF THE 31 VOTES CAST, USING FAKE
EMAIL ADDRESSES, WE MANAGED TO
REACH 12 MEMBERS WHOSE NAMES ARE
IN THOSE ADDRESSES.
THEY ALL CONFIRM THEY HAD NEVER
CAST A VOTE.
WE CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN WHO
BOUGHT THE EMAILS OR WHO CAST
THE VOTES.
WE ALSO CAN'T DETERMINE HOW
WIDESPREAD OR ISOLATED THE VOTE
RIGGING REALLY WAS.
AFTER ALL, THERE WERE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS REGISTERED
TO VOTE.
BUT THE SUSPICIOUS EMAILS ARE
PART OF THE RCMP'S INQUIRY INTO
THE U.C.P. LEADERSHIP CONTEST.
CBC NEWS HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE
MOUNTIES HAVE INTERVIEWED
NUMEROUS PEOPLE IN CONNECTION TO
THE VOTE RIGGING.
INCLUDING ROG AND HIS FATHER.
>> MY DAD WAS FLUSTERED, SCARED.
THEY SAID, WAS THERE A P.I.N.
EMAILED TO YOU?
AND I SAID, NO.
SINCE IT MAKES SENSE THAT WE
DIDN'T GET A P.I.N. BECAUSE THE
EMAILS THEY SHOWED US WERE NOT
REAL.
OR THEY WERE REAL, I GUESS, BUT
NONE OF OURS.
>> Reporter: IN TELE-VOTE, THE
COMPANY WHOSE ONLINE SYSTEM WAS
USED FOR THE LEADERSHIP VOTE
SAID THAT
EVERYTHING ON ITS END WAS FINE.
>> SOMEONE HAS A VALID P.I.N. IN
ITS HAND AND IT'S USED TO CAST A
BALLOT AND THE SYSTEM IS
PERFORMING EXACTLY THE WAY THAT
IT'S SUPPOSED TO.
THTHE QUESTION IS, DID SOMEONE DO
SOMETHING ILLEGAL
OR NEFARIOUS TO GET THEIR HANDS
ON PINS THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD
THEIR HANDS ON?
>> Reporter: U.C.P. LEADER
JASON KENNEY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE
THIS WAY...
>> IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO DIDN'T
VOTE AUTHENTICALLY, THAT
CONCERNS ME, ONLY.
BUT I AS A CANDIDATE ENSURE THAT
OUR TEAM COMPLIED WITH THE
RULES.
THAT'S WHAT OUR CAMPAIGN
MANAGEMENT DID.
AND I BELIEVE IN THE CREDIBILITY
OF OUR WHOLE PROCESS.
>> Reporter: AND HIS PARTY
SAYS THAT IT'S CONFIDENT IN
KENNEY'S DECISIVE VICTORY TO
LEAD IT.
CAROLYN DUNN, CBC NEWS, CALGARY.
>> Rosemary: AS THE ELECTION
APPROACHES "THE NATIONAL" WILL
HAVE SPECIAL COVERAGE OF JUST
WHAT IS AT STAKE FOR THE
PROVINCE AND, YES, THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY.
THERE'S ANGER OVER THE PLIGHT OF
THE OIL INDUSTRY, APPLAUDING THE
ECONOMY THAT SHED THOUSANDS OF
JOBS AND THAT QUESTION OF HOW TO
DEAL WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
IN OTTAWA.
I'LL BE IN BATTLEGROUND CALGARY
ON SUNDAY AS ALBERTANS PREPARE
TO DECIDE THEIR FUTURE AND
WE WILL, OF COURSE, HAVE RESULTS
RIGHT HERE ON "THE NATIONAL" ON
TUESDAY.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON
"THE NATIONAL"... RACIST
VIOLENCE BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER.
HOW TWO MEN WERE ABLE TO BUILD A
PRETTY UNCOMMON FRIENDSHIP.
>> Rosemary: AND, LATER, IT'S
THE VIRAL PHOTO THAT HAS COME TO
SYMBOLIZE THE CURRENT PROTEST IN
SUDAN.
WE HEAR FROM THE WOMAN BEHIND
THE LENS.
>> I'M PROUD TO BE WITH THE
PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO MAKE SUDAN
HISTORY, OKAY?
BUT CAPTURING THIS
(*)
>> MR. SPEAKER, WE ARE
ULTIMATELY HERE BECAUSE 50
PEOPLE DIED AND THEY DO NOT HAVE
A VOICE.
>> Adrienne: TODAY THE NEW
ZEALAND PARLIAMENT VOTED TO
TIGHTEN UP THE COUNTRY'S GUN
LAWS WEEKS AFTER A DECLARED
WHITE SUPREMACIST OPENED FIRE IN
TWO MOSQUES.
AND IN CANADA TODAY A WARNING
FROM THE HEAD OF THE SPY
SERVICE...
>> WE ARE MORE AND MORE
PREOCCUPIED BY THE NUMBER OF
ULTRA RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS AND
THE WHITE NATIONALISM, AND WHITE
SUPREMACISTS.
>> Adrienne: THE THREAT IS
CLEAR, BUT CAN WE EVER TRULY
UNDERSTAND THE UGLY MOTIVATION?
WELL, YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR FROM
A FORMER WHITE NATIONALIST WHO
DOESN'T HOLD BACK ABOUT THE
HATRED THAT FESTERED IN HIS
MIND.
BUT, FIRST, LET'S MEET THE SIKH
MAN WHO BECAME HIS UNLIKELY
FRIEND IN THE WAKE OF ANOTHER
COLD-BLOODED ATTACK.
NICK PURDON TELLS US THEIR
STORY.
>> MY FATHER DIED.
HE DIED FIGHTING AGAINST A
RACIST GUNMAN.
HE DIED IN A PLACE THAT HE
HELPED TO BUILD.
HE MIGHT HAVE LOST THAT FIGHT,
BUT WE CONTINUE ON IN THAT
BATTLE.
>> Reporter: THE SHOOTING
STILL PLAYS OUTSIDE OF PARDEEP
KALEKA'S HEAD.
AUGUST 5th, 2012.
A GUNMAN BURST INTO THE TEMPLE
AND STARTS KILLING.
HE MURDERS SIX PEOPLE.
I'VE COME HERE TO THE SIKH
TEMPLE OF MILWAUKEE TO ASK THOSE
WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH THESE
KINDS OF TRAGEDIES HOW THEY CAN
BE STOPPED.
AMONG THE DEAD THAT DAY WAS
PARDOPE'S FATHER.
WHERE WAS HE?
>> HE WAS IN THIS ROOM OVER
HERE.
AS WERE SOME OF THE OTHER
PRIESTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND SO HE TOOK HIS FINAL BREATH,
AND THE SHOOTER COMES INTO HERE
AND THERE'S ANOTHER MAN AND
HIMSELF AND THEN ANOTHER PRIEST
IN HERE.
AND DAD WAS TRYING TO WRESTLE
HIM DOWN BECAUSE HE SUE AN
OPPORTUNITY WHEN THE SHOOTER RAN
OUT OF BULLETS AS THE TIME TO
COUNTER AN ATTACK.
AS HE IS TRYING TO ATTACK THE
SHOOTER IS ABLE TO GET HIS
MAGAZINE RELOADED AND THAT'S
WHEN DAD SUFFERED THE FIVE SHOTS
TO HIS SIDE.
DAD FELT A DEEP SENSE OF
RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS
CONGREGATION.
HE ALSO KNEW THAT MY MOM WAS
INSIDE OF THE TEMPLE AT THE
TIME.
HE WASN'T GOING TO LEAVE.
THIS IS THE BULLET HOLE AND IT
BASICALLY SAYS UNDERNEATH HERE
"WE ARE ONE, AUGUST 5th,
2012".
AND IT'S THE FIRST WORDS IN OUR
SCRIPTURE, WHICH IS THAT "WE ARE
ONE," WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE
AND WE'LL RETURN TO BEING ONE.
>> Reporter: AFTER THE
SHOOTING PARDEEP DID EVERYTHING
THAT HE THOUGHT HIS FATHER WOULD
HAVE DONE.
HE MADE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR
PEOPLE, AND HE TRIED TO MAKE
SENSE OF THE EVENTS OF THAT DAY.
>> WE WEREN'T SURPRISED THAT A
WHITE SUPREMACIST WOULD DO
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I GUESS THAT IT JUST HURT
BECAUSE OF -- BECAUSE PEOPLE
WERE TRYING SO HARD TO BECOME
PART OF THE AMERICAN FABRIC, TO
BE TOLD THAT YOU'RE NOT AMERICAN
ENOUGH HURTS.
I WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THIS
SHOOTER DID WHAT HE DID.
WHY DID HE COME TO THAT TEMPLE
AT THAT DAY ON THAT MORNING AND
KILL THE PEOPLE THAT HE DID?
>> Reporter: PARDEEP DIDN'T
KNOW IT BUT THERE WAS SOMEONE
ELSE IN MILWAUKEE AT THAT TIME
WHO WAS ALSO DESPERATE TO FIND
OUT MORE ABOUT THE KILLER.
ARNO MICHAELIS HAD LEFT THE
WRITE SUPREMACIST MOVEMENT IN
WISCONSIN.
>> ON THE EVENING OF THE
SHOOTING IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT
THE SHOOTER WAS AN
AFFILIATED WHITE SUPREMACIST.
IN SO MANY WAYS THIS GUY WAS
EXACTLY WHO I USED TO BE.
>> Reporter: DID YOU FEEL
RESPONSIBLE IN SOME LEVEL?
>> I DID LAY AWAKE THAT NIGHT
AND WONDERING IF IT WAS SOMEONE
THAT I RECRUITED OR, YOU KNOW,
SOMEONE THAT I KNEW FROM BACK IN
THE DAY.
I HAD THIS REALLY SINKING
FEELING FROM THE GET-GO THAT,
LIKE, I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH
IT.
>> Reporter: FOR SEVEN YEARS
ARNO LIVED AND BREATHED RACISM.
HE WAS A FOUNDER AND LEADER OF A
WORLDWIDE SKINHEAD MOVEMENT.
>> FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILD
CHILDREN.
>> Reporter: HE SANG IN A
WHITE POWER BAND, IT'S HOW HE
GOT INVOLVED IN WHITE SUPREMACY
AT 16.
>> WELL, THE LYRICS WERE ABOUT
RACE AND NATION AND BLOOD AND
SOIL.
LIKE ALL OF THESE REALLY
SEDUCTIVE THEMES THAT ADOLF
HITLER USED TO CORRUPT THE MINDS
OF SO MANY GERMANS IN THE
1930s AND 1940s.
AND TO ME ALL OF THAT LANGUAGE
REALLY RESOUNDED WITH ME.
I DIDN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT
ANYTHING UP TO THEN.
>> Reporter: IF I MET YOU BACK
THEN WHAT WERE YOU LIKE?
>> I PRETTY MUCH RADIATED
HOSTILITY.
AND IF I MET A WHITE GUY I WOULD
IMMEDIATELY START GOING INTO MY
RACIST DIATRIBE AND TRY TO LIKE
RECRUIT THEM.
IF PEOPLE DIDN'T RESPOND WELL DO
IT I'D ATTACK THEM ON THE SPOT.
>> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
>> I'D PUNCH THEM.
I'D HIT THEM.
>> Reporter: ARNO DOESN'T SHY
AWAY FROM ADMITTING WHAT HE DID.
HE WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT A WHITE SUPREMACIST IS
CAPABLE OF.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
WHERE WE WOULD JUST -- THERE
WOULD BE 10 OF US WALKING DOWN
THE STREET.
AND IF WE SAW ONE LONE GUY, AND
IT WAS JUST A TARGET OF
OPPORTUNITY, AND WE'D JUST JUMP
ON HIM AND BEAT THE MESS OUT OF
HIM.
BEAT HIM TO A BLOODY PULP.
AND SOMETIMES IT WAS BECAUSE
THEY WERE BLACK OR SOMETIMES WE
THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE GAY.
AND WE'D JUST JUMP ON THEM AND
BRUTALLY BEAT THEM AND LEAVE
THEM FOR DEAD.
>> Reporter: IN THOSE DAYS DID
YOU EVER THINK OF GOING TO A
PLACE OF WORSHIP AND SHOOTING
PEOPLE?
>> I HAD GUNS AND WE ALL -- BY
THE END WE ALL HAD A TONNE OF
GUNS AS WE WERE KIND OF PREPPING
FOR AN IMPENDING RACE WAR THAT
WE SAW.
HAD I NOT GOTTEN OUT, HAD I
CONTINUED DOWN THAT PATH, IT
CERTAINLY WOULD BE IN THE REALM
OF POSSIBILITY THAT THE IDEOLOGY
WOULD HAVE BEEN ME SO MISERABLE
THAT NOTHING BUT HOMICIDE
FOLLOWED BY SUICIDE SEEMED TO
MAKE SENSE.
>> Reporter: BUT ARNO SAYS
WHAT PREVENTED THAT IS THE BIRTH
OF HIS DAUGHTER.
AS MORE AND MORE RACISTS AROUND
HIM WERE ENDING UP DEAD OR IN
JAIL HE BECAME A FATHER.
HE GOT A JOB.
HE THOUGHT THAT HE'D LEFT THE
WORLD OF WHITE SUPREMACY BEHIND.
THEN THE SHOOTING HAPPENED AT
THE SIKH TEMPLE ONLY A FEW
KILOMETRES AWAY AND IT CAME
RUSHING BACK.
THE SHOOTER WAS A MEMBER OF THE
SAME RACIST GROUP ARNO HELPED TO
START.
>> SO I CERTAINLY FELT A REAL
URGENT RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE OF
THE ACTUAL HANDS ON ROLE THAT I
HAD IN BRINGING THAT GROUP TO
LIFE.
>> Reporter: AT THE SAME TIME
PARDEEP, STILL DEALING WITH THE
DEATH OF HIS FATHER, WANTED
ANSWERS.
SO HE CONTACTED ARNO.
>> AND I THOUGHT THAT HE MIGHT
KNOW THE SHOOTER AND THAT HE
MIGHT GET INTO THE INTRICACIES
OF THE DAY OR THE DAY BEFORE,
AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OF WHY HE
CHOSE THAT PLACE.
SO I WAS REALLY LOOKING FOR AN
EXPLANATION.
BUT I KNEW THAT THERE WAS A PART
OF ME THAT WAS LIKE, WHAT AM I
DOING?
BECAUSE PART OF YOU THINKS THAT
ONCE A WHITE SUPREMACIST, ALWAYS
A WHITE SUPREMACIST.
>> Reporter: ARNO AND PARDEEP
SPOKE ON THE PHONE A FEW TIMES
AND THEN DECIDED TO MEET.
THEY CHOSE THIS RESTAURANT IN
DOWNTOWN MILWAUKEE.
>> WHEN I ASKED ARNO WHY THE
SHOOTING HAPPENED HE RESPONDED
QUITE SIMPLY, TO HURT OTHER
PEOPLE.
AND, YOU KNOW, HE WAS HONEST TO
SAY THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO THE
SHOOTER WAS, BUT THE SHOOTER WAS
VERY MUCH WHO HE USED TO BE.
>> HE WAS KIND OF SUSPICIOUS OF
MY TURNAROUND AS WERE A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN HIS FAMILY.
AND I CAN'T BEGRUDGE ANYBODY
THAT BECAUSE I'VE DONE HORRIBLE
THINGS.
I LOVE THE RAP THEME...
>> Reporter: AGAINST ALL ODDS
PARDEEP AND ARNO FORMED AN
UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP.
>> WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT OUR
DADS AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT
OUR DAUGHTERS.
AND WE FOUND OUT AS WE'RE
SHARING STORIES OF OUR LOVED
ONES, LIKE, HOW SIMILAR NOT ONLY
OUR LOVED ONES WERE BUT HOW
SIMILAR WE WERE.
[laughter]
>> Reporter: AND THEY
COMMITTED TO WORKING TOGETHER TO
STOP THE RACIST VIOLENCE THAT
HAD BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER.
>> I KNEW RIGHT THEN THAT
PARDEEP WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT
PART OF MY LIFE.
>> WHEN WE GO TO PALO ALTO, DO
WE HAVE SOME TIME
AVAILABLE?
>> Reporter: THEY TRAVEL THE
WORLD TELLING THEIR STORY OF HOW
FRIENDSHIP OVERCAME HATE.
>> WE CAN START OFF BY JUST
TALKING ABOUT STORYTELLING AND
THE IMPORTANCE OF STORYTELLING.
>> Reporter: THEY MEET
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, STUDENTS,
POLITICIANS AND THEY PUSH THEM
TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST RACISM.
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> Reporter: WITH THE RISE OF
WHITE SUPREMACY AROUND THE WORLD
SOMETIMES THEY CAN'T HELP BUT
FEEL
DISCOURAGED.
>> IT FEELS THAT ALL OF THE WORK
THAT WE DID IS JUST FOR NOTHING.
I MEAN, I KNOW THAT WE CAN'T BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT PEOPLE IN
CHRISTCHURCH DO, BUT IT FEELS
THAT WE HAVE FAILED KIND OF.
>> Reporter: BUT THEY'RE NOT
GIVING UP.
>> OKAY, MAN, LET'S GET OUT OF
HERE.
>> Reporter: IN FACT, THEY
FEEL THAT
THEIR WORK IS MORE URGENT THAN
OTHER.
>> SEE YOU LATER TONIGHT.
>> Reporter: TONIGHT THEY'RE
SPEAKING AT A LOCAL THEATRE.
>> MY PURPOSE WAS TO SAVE ALL OF
THE WHITE PEOPLE FROM THESE EVIL
BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW AND RED
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KILL ALL OF
THE WHITE PEOPLE.
SO I WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE, I
HATE YOU, BUT I HATE THIS
SCHOOL, AND I
HATE POLICE AND I HATE THE
GOVERNMENT AND I HATE SOCIETY.
LIKE ROAR, ROAR.
KEEP THE HATE COMING.
AND FOR SEVEN YEARS WE RADIATED
HATE AND VIOLENCE OUT INTO THE
WORLD.
>> WE SUFFERED ON AUGUST 5th,
2012, WHEN A WHITE SUPREMACIST
GUNMAN WALKED INTO THE SIKH
TEMPLE IN WISCONSIN AND MURDERED
SIX PEOPLE AS THEY WORSHIPPED
THAT DAY.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT WAS TAKEN
THAT DAY WAS MY FATHER AND
TEMPLE PRESIDENT, SATWANT SINGH
KALEKA.
FOR ME PERSONALLY THAT DAY WAS
AN AWAKENING.
IT WAS AN AWAKENING TO WHAT ARE
YOU GOING TO DO WHEN SOMETHING
HAPPENS TO YOU.
AND THE PERSON THAT I REACHED
OUT TO WAS THE MOST UNLIKELIEST
OF ALLIES.
THE PERSON THAT I REACHED OUT TO
WAS ARNO.
PEOPLE OFTENTIMES ASK US AND ASK
ME WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
THE MAIN REASON THAT I DID THAT
WAS TO UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DO
WHAT THEY DO AND THE MORE
IMPORTANT THING -- WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
[Applause]
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Reporter: IT'S BEEN SEVEN
YEARS SINCE PARDEEP'S FATHER
DIED TRYING TO STOP A RACIST
GUNMAN HERE INSIDE THEIR TEMPLE.
AND EVERY DAY SINCE HE'S BEEN
WORKING TO STOP IT HAPPENING
AGAIN.
>> DAD'S LIFE WAS ONE OF
CONNECTION AND IT WAS ONE OF
LOVE.
AND I LOOK AT ME AND ARNO'S
JOURNEY TOGETHER AS AN EXTENSION
OF THAT LOVE.
THE LASTING MESSAGE FROM WHAT
HAPPENED ON AUGUST 5th IS NOT
GOING TO BE THE SHOOTER'S
RAMPAGE.
>> Reporter: NICK PURDON, CBC
NEWS, MILWAUKEE.
>> Rosemary: WHAT AN
INCREDIBLE STORY.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL"... WE HEAD TO ISRAEL
TO TAKE THE PULSE AFTER
YESTERDAY'S ELECTION AND ASK
JUST WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
>> I MEAN, IT'S EXTRAORDINARY IN
THE SENSE THAT HE'S BEEN
RE-ELECTED NOW FIVE TIMES.
I THINK THAT IS THE REALLY
STRIKING PART OF IT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 26% OF
VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR HIM,
ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT
TALLIES.
THAT'S NOT A MAJORITY.
(*)
(*)
>> Rosemary: WE'RE FOLLOWING
THE LATEST ESCALATIONS BETWEEN
THE U.S. AND VENEZUELA.
VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE TOOK
AIM AT VENEZUELA'S ENVOY TO THE
UNITED NATIONS TODAY.
>> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
MR. AMBASSADOR, YOU SHOULDN'T BE
HERE.
YOU SHOULD RETURN TO VENEZUELA
AND TELL NICOLÁS MADURO THAT HIS
TIME IS UP.
>> Rosemary: PENCE ALSO CALLED
FOR F
FOR FORMAL RECOGNITION AS JUAN
GUD AS THE RIGHTFUL LEADER OF
VENEZUELA, WHICH HE CALLED A
FAILED STATE.
HE SAYS THAT THE U.S. IS
DETERMINED TO RESTORE DEMOCRACY
TO THE COUNTRY, THROUGH
DIPLOMATIC AND ECONOMIC
PRESSURE, BUT THAT ALL OPTIONS
ARE STILL ON THE TABLE.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Rosemary: IN HIS FIRST
SPEECH TO THE NATION IN MORE
THAN THREE MONTHS THE CUBAN
LEADER RAUL CASTRO SAYS THAT
RESIDENTS SHOULD BRACE FOR
WORSENING SHORTAGES DUE TO THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION POLICIES.
IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY HARD
FOR CUBANS TO FIND BASIC GOODS.
THE U.S. INDICATED THAT IT'S SET
TO ANNOUNCE ADDITIONAL ACTION
AGAINST CUBA FOR ITS SUPPORT OF
VENEZUELA'S NICOLÁS MADURO.
>>> AND INDIAN OFFICIALS ARE
MAKING LAST-MINUTE PREPARATIONS
FOR WHAT IS SET TO BE THE
BIGGEST ELECTION IN THE
COUNTRY'S HISTORY.
THE FIRST WAVE OF, GET THIS,
900 MILLION ELIGIBLE VOTERS IS
SET TO HIT THE POLLS IN A MATTER
OF HOURS.
PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI IS
SEEN
AS THE FRONT-RUNNER AND
CAMPAIGNING ON HIS NATIONAL
SECURITY RECORD.
BUT THE RACE HAS BECOME TIGHTER
THAN ANTICIPATED.
>> Adrienne: TO THE AFTERMATH
OF ISRAEL'S ELECTIONS NOW.
OFFICIALLY THE FINAL TALLY ISN'T
IN YET BUT THE U.S. PRESIDENT
HAS ALREADY CONGRATULATED HIS
STAUNCH ALLY.
>> President Donald Trump:
BIBI NETANYAHU, IT LOOKS LIKE
THAT RACE HAS BEEN WON BY HIM.
EVERYBODY SAID THAT YOU CAN'T
HAVE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
WITH ISRAEL AND THE
PALESTINIANS.
I THINK THAT WE HAVE A CHANCE.
AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE NOW A
BETTER CHANCE WITH BIBI HAVING
WON.
>> Adrienne: OKAY, SO IN
MENTIONING
PEACE, TRUMP SEEMS TO SUGGEST
THAT BIG CHANGES ARE COMING.
AFTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, OFTEN
KNOWN BY HIS NICKNAME BIBI,
SECURES A WIN.
BUT IN TERMS OF LEADERSHIP,
CHANGE IS WHAT NOT MANY ISRAELIS
VOTED FOR YESTERDAY.
NETANYAHU IS NOW ON TRACK TO BE
THE LONGEST SERVING PRIME
MINISTER IN ISRAEL'S HISTORY.
AND AS SUSAN ORMISTON TELLS US,
WHILE THE ELECTION IS OVER,
THOSE
DIVISIONS REMAIN.
>> Reporter: AN INCOMING TIDE
DELIVERED BENJAMIN NETANYAHU THE
CHANCE ONCE MORE TO FORM A
GOVERNMENT.
SHE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.
>> THE ECONOMY IS GOOD AND TODAY
IS MY BIRTHDAY.
AND SO IT'S A VERY GOOD PRESENT
FOR ME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Reporter: THE WAVE OF
CHANGE FACING NETANYAHU WAS
POWERFUL BUT NOT ENOUGH.
AS TEL AVIV ABSORBED THE
PROSPECT OF A FIFTH TERM, OMAR
ROSEN WASN'T HAPPY.
>> NETANYAHU IS NOT THE BIG
PROBLEM.
THE PROBLEM IS NOW REALLY THE
OLDER RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE
A LOT OF POWER, ESPECIALLY WHEN
THEY FORCE THEIR IDEOLOGY ON US
THOUGH.
SO FOR US, THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE
THAT NETANYAHU IS TAKING WITH
HIM IS THE BIG PROBLEM.
>> Reporter: OVERNIGHT
POLITICAL FORTUNES CHURNED,
FIRST BENNY GANTZ, THE BLUE AND
WHITE PARTY, PREMATURELY BOASTED
THEY HAD WON.
AND FOLLOWED IN THE WEE HOURS BY
A LIKUD VICTORY PARTY.
BY MORNING, THE PARTIES WERE
TIED WITH 35 SEATS EACH, BUT
THAT IS NOT THE ONLY KEY TO
GOVERNING.
THE PATH TO POWER HERE AT
KNESSET IS COMPLICATED.
WITH NO ONE PARTY GAINING A
CLEAR MAJORITY OF THE 120 SEATS,
ISRAEL'S PRESIDENT WILL NOW
ASK ONE OF THE LEADING PARTIES
TO TRY TO FORM A VIABLE
COALITION GOVERNMENT.
AND NEGOTIATIONS COULD TAKE
WEEKS.
IT'S LIKELY THAT THE NOD WILL GO
TO NETANYAHU.
POLITICAL ANN LIFT DAHLIA
SCHEINDIN...
>> IT'S EXTRAORDINARY THAT HE'S
BEEN RE-ELECTED FIVE TIMES AND
THAT'S THE STRIKING PART OF IT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 26% WHO
VOTED FOR HIM ACCORDING TO THE
CURRENT TALLY.
THAT'S NOT A MAJORITY.
THIS IS NOT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY
SWEEPING THE ISRAELI PUBLIC.
>> Reporter: SO NOW WHAT?
THE PRIME MINISTER STILL FACES
POSSIBLE INDICTMENT ON
CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS WHICH HE
DENIES.
WILL HE PICK UP ON A LAST-MINUTE
CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO ANNEX THE3
WILL HE PICK UP ON A LAST-MINUTE
CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO ANNEX THE
JEWISH SETTLEMENTS IN THE
OCCUPIED WEST BANK?
>> NETANYAHU BY SOME ACCOUNTS
WANTS TO MOVE VERY FAST TO
NOWHERE IN TERMS OF THE
ISRAELI PALESTINIAN CONFLICT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF HE'LL SPEED
UP TO FORMAL ANNEXATION, DESPITE
HIS PROMISES.
>> Reporter: PALESTINIANS
EXPECT A NEW RESULT JUST
REFLECTS THE OLD.
>> [speaking foreign
language].
>> Reporter: NETANYAHU'S LEAD,
HE SAYS, CONFIRMS THEY DON'T
WANT PEACE.
THE DAY AFTER ISRAELIS SEEM
RELIEVED OR RESIGNED, NOT HUGELY
SURPRISED.
TAKING A BREATH BEFORE POLITICS
CHURNS UP HERE ONCE MORE.
SUSAN ORMISTON, CBC NEWS, TEL
AVIV.
>> Adrienne: COMING UP ON "THE
NATIONAL"... IT'S HOCKEY PLAYOFF
TIME WHICH IS SERIOUS BUSINESS
FOR FANS, INCLUDING SOME
ELEMENTARY STUDENTS IN WINNIPEG.
>> TO DO WELL IN THE PLAYOFFS
THEY SHOULD DO A COUPLE THINGS
AND THESE ARE THEM...
>> Adrienne: THEIR ADVICE TO
THE
WINNIPEG JETS IS NEXT ON OUR
"MOMENT,."
>>> BUT FIRST, THIS IMAGE OF A
22-YEAR-OLD WOMAN HAS BECOME A
POWERFUL SYMBOL OF
RESISTANCE IN SUDAN.
ALAA SALAH WAS LEADING A CHANT,
EFFECTIVELY CALLING FOR
REVOLUTION AT AN ANTI-GOVERNMENT
DEMONSTRATION.
(*)
FOR MONTHS PROTESTERS HAVE BEEN
CALLING FOR PRESIDENT OMAR AL
BASHEER TO GET OUT.
HE HAS BEEN IN POWER FOR 30
YEARS, ACCUSED OF CRIMES AGAINST
HUMANITY AND GENOCIDE, ALLOWING
HIS COUNTRY TO FALL INTO
ECONOMIC RUIN.
BUT NO PROTEST, NO IMAGE, HAS
CAPTURED THE WORLD'S ATTENTION
QUITE LIKE THIS ONE.
IT'S BEEN SHARED THOUSANDS OF
TIMES ONLINE.
PEOPLE ARE CALLING SALAH A
QUEEN.
AND THE SUDAN STATUE OF LIBERTY.
ON TWITTER TODAY SALAH SAID THAT
SHE WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT
AGAINST RACISM AND TRIBALISM IN
ALL OF ITS FORMS BUT EVERY TIME
PEOPLE RESPONDED WITH REVOLUTION
YOU WOULD GET MORE EXCITED.
SHE SAID THAT SHE'S RECEIVED
DEATH THREATS SINCE HER PICTURE
AND VIDEO WENT VIRAL BUT SHE
WILL NOT BOW DOWN.
AND AS FOR THE WOMAN WHO TOOK
THIS NOW ICONIC PHOTO, SHE
EXPLAINED TODAY THAT SHE IS
PROUD, BUT WON'T BE HAPPY UNTIL
THINGS ACTUALLY CHANGE.
>> I WILL SHARE THE STORY FOR
EVERYONE IN THE WORLD.
AND PRAY FOR US TO BE IN A
BETTER SUDAN.
(*)
>> Rosemary: SO I AM TOLD THAT
IT'S THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE NHL
PLAYOFFS AND I AM TOLD THAT
THERE ARE THREE CANADIAN TEAMS
IN THE MIX -- THE CALGARY FLAMES
AND THE
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS AND THE
WINNIPEG JETS WHO FACE OFF
TONIGHT AGAINST THE ST. LOUIS
BLUES.
LAST YEAR THE JETS MADE IT
PRETTY FAR.
BUT THIS YEAR FANS WANT TO SEE
THEM GO ALL THE WAY.
WITH THAT IN MIND SOME YOUNG
FANS DECIDED TO SHARE TIPS ON
HOW TO WIN THE STANLEY CUP.
AND THEIR ADVICE IS OUR "MOMENT
OF THE DAY."
>> DEAR WINNIPEG JETS...
>> TO DO WELL IN THE PLAYOFFS...
>> TO DO WELL IN THE PLAYOFFS...
>> TO DO WELL IN THE PLAYOFFS...
>> THE JETS SHOULD SHARPEN THEIR
BLADES ON THEIR SKATES SO THEY
DON'T STUMBLE ON THE ICE.
>> EAT HEALTHY FOODS AND
SMOOTHIES AND HAVE A GOOD
NIGHT'S SLEEP.
>> WATCH THEIR OLD GAMES TO SEE
WHAT THEY DID WRONG AND COULD DO
BETTER.
>> SMILE AND DON'T GET PENALTIES
AND WEAR YOUR SEATBELT.
ALSO PRACTISE A TONNE.
>> SHOOT PUCKS ON THE GOALIE,
THE JETS SHOULD CALL THEIR
MOTHERS.
>> AND AN ENERGY DRINK FROM THE
STORE AND ALSO GET THEM HOT
CHEETOS BEFORE THE GAME,
DEFINITELY.
>> GO, JETS, GO!
GO, JETS GO!
GO, JETS, GO!
>> Adrienne: I'M JUST WRITING
THAT
DOWN, ESPECIALLY THE ENERGY
DRINKS AND THE HOT CHEETOS.
>> Rosemary: HOT CHEETOS?
>> Adrienne: BECAUSE I THINK
THAT
THAT WE COULD USE THAT BEFORE A
BIG GAME.
THESE FINE YOUNG MINDS -- I HOPE
THEY ARE ALL SLEEPING NOW -- BUT
THEY'RE FROM ECOLE
LUCKTON SCHOOL IN WINNIPEG,
GRADES ONE AND TWO AND THREE AND
THEY SPENT A GOOD PART OF THE
WEEK WORKING ON THOSE LETTERS SO
I HOPE THAT THE JETS SEND THANK
YOU LETTERS TO THE KIDS.
>> Rosemary: AS YOU KNOW I AM
FROM WINNIPEG AND I HAVE BEEN
BEFORE THE PART OF A WHITEOUT,
EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT THE BIGGEST
HOCKEY FAN NOW, I USED TO BE.
SO I CAN RELATE TO THIS WHOLE
GO, JETS GO, THING.
AND IF PEOPLE
ARE WONDERING WHERE IAN IS
TONIGHT, HE'S TAKEN THE NIGHT
OFF TO SIT AND WATCH THE HOCKEY
GAMES HAPPENING.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE IT'S
ON TWITTER BECAUSE HIS SECRET IS
OUT THERE ANYWAY.
SO HE'S ENJOYING HIMSELF, THAT'S
GOOD.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
APRIL 10th.
GOODNIGHT, EVERYBODY.
>> Adrienne: GOODNIGHT.
