 >> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING.
 I'M ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
 ANDREW IS OFF.
 TONIGHT, A POWERFUL EXPLOSION 
 ROCKS BEIRUT.
 DOZENS KILLED INSTANTLY, 
 HOSPITALS OVERWHELMED WITH THE 
 INJURED, THE DAMAGE DESCRIBED 
 AS CATASTROPHIC. 
 >> YOU ALMOST FELT DEATH, AND 
 YOU WERE ALMOST, LIKE, 
 BREATHLESS.
 >> Adrienne: THE HORROR ON THE 
 GROUND, AND THE MATERIAL THAT 
 SPARKED IT ALL.
 >>> BACK TO SCHOOL.
 THE CLASH OVER COHORTS AND JUST
 WHO SHOULD BE WEARING MASKS.
 >>> CANADA'S NEW PLAN TO TREAT 
 OBESITY, AND IT'S NO LONGER 
 ABOUT COUNTING CALORIES OR EVEN
 THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE.
 >>> AND AFTER 62 DAYS IN ORBIT,
 INSIDE A HISTORIC SPLASHDOWN. 
 >> IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A 
 MACHINE, IT SOUNDS LIKE 
 AN ANIMAL. 
 >> Adrienne: COULD THEIR 
 EXPERIENCE BE THE FUTURE OF 
 SPACE FLIGHT?
 THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
 >>> TONIGHT, THE PEOPLE OF 
 BEIRUT ARE REELING FROM A 
 MASSIVE AND DEADLY EXPLOSION IN
 THE CITY'S PORT AREA.
 IT LOOKED APOCALYPTIC, AND IT 
 UNLEASHED A WAVE OF 
 DESTRUCTION.
 THE GOVERNMENT SAYS 70 PEOPLE 
 ARE DEAD OR INJURED, BUT THAT 
 NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE.
 THE IMPACT WAS FELT HUNDREDS OF
 MILES AWAY AND HAD THE IMPACT 
 OF A 3.3 EARTHQUAKE.
 NOW, THE AIR ITSELF MAY BE 
 DANGEROUS TO BREATHE BECAUSE OF
 THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND THAT WAS 
 IGNITED, SO A TERRIFYING PLACE 
 TO BE RIGHT NOW.
 RENEE PHILIPPONI HAS THE STORY.
 IT ALL STARTED LIKE THIS.
 >> Reporter: IN VIDEOS POSTED 
 ON-LINE, A HUGE FIRE CAN BE 
 SEEN BURNING IN THE PORT.
 THEN, A LARGE EXPLOSION, A 
 MASSIVE MUSHROOM-LIKE CLOUD, 
 AND A SHOCK WAVE, CAUSING A 
 POWERFUL BLAST.
 BALCONIES WERE BLOWN OFF 
 BUILDINGS, GLASS SHATTERED 
 EVERYWHERE.
 I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, 
 SAID THIS MAN WHO WAS FISHING 
 AT THE TIME.
 I HEARD THERE WAS A FIRE.
 I TURNED TO HEAD HOME AND HEARD
 SOMETHING EXPLODE.
 ACROSS THE CITY, WITNESSES, 
 INCLUDING THIS CANADIAN 
 VISITING BEIRUT SAID THEY HAD 
 NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE IT. 
 >> IT WAS AN OUT-OF-BODY 
 EXPERIENCE.
 YOU FELT IT WAS ALMOST LIKE 
 DEATH.
 IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. 
 >> Reporter: RESCUE CREWS 
 CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR PEOPLE 
 TRANNED IN -- TRAPPED IN THE 
 RUBBLE.
 2,750 TONNES OF AMMONIUM 
 NITRATE, SEIZED SIX YEARS AGO 
 AND STORED AT THE PORT SINCE 
 THAT TIME.
 TODAY'S EVENTS WERE TRIGGERING 
 FOR SOME, TAKING THEM BACK TO 
 THE 2005 CAR BOMBING 
 ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRIME 
 MINISTER HARIRI.
 LIFE WAS ALREADY A STRUGGLE, 
 WITH THE COUNTRY ALREADY FACING
 ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, MADE WORSE 
 BY COVID-19. 
 >> PEOPLE ARE REALLY, REALLY 
 HURTING, SO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, 
 I COULDN'T IMAGINE WHAT ELSE 
 THIS -- THIS HAPPENED, I 
 COULDN'T IMAGINE WHAT ELSE THIS
 COUNTRY COULD GO THROUGH THAT'S
 WORSE THAN THE SITUATION NOW.
 >> Reporter: TONIGHT, HOSPITALS
 ARE OVERWHELMED, AND SOME ARE 
 TURNING PATIENTS WAY AS THE 
 SEARCH FOR VICTIMS CONTINUES 
 THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
 TOMORROW WILL BE THE FIRST OF 
 TWO NATIONAL DAYS OF MOURNING.
 RENEE PHILIPPONI, CBC NEWS, 
 LONDON.
 >> Adrienne: SO LET'S TAKE A 
 LOOK AT BEIRUT FROM GROUND 
 LEVEL AND FROM SOMEBODY WHO 
 WORKS THERE.
 CBC REPORTER REBECCA COLLARD 
 LIVES AND WORKS THERE.
 >> Reporter: AS THE ARMY IS ON 
 THE STREET, WE'RE STILL HEARING
 AMBULANCES GO BY AND PEOPLE 
 BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THE SITE.
 AS YOU CAN SEE, THE POWER IS 
 OUT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND 
 ALSO IN MY OWN APARTMENT.
 THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT 
 DOES HAVE POWER, BUT YOU CAN 
 SEE THE WHOLE FRONT ENTRANCE 
 HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SMASHED 
 OUT, AND THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF 
 THE BUILDINGS IN THIS 
 NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK LIKE THIS FAR
 FROM THE BLAST SITE.
 EVEN ON THE UPPER FLOORS, A 
 DOZEN FLOORS, 20 FLOORS UP, YOU
 SEE THAT THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN 
 COMPLETELY SMASHED OUT.
 YOU KNOW, I WAS IN MY APARTMENT
 WHEN THE EXPLOSION TOOK PLACE.
 I HEARD THE RUMBLE AND WENT 
 INTO AN INTERNAL HALLWAY IN MY 
 APARTMENT, AND I FELT THE 
 SHAKING.
 WHEN I WENT OUT, I SAW THAT THE
 WINDOWS HAD BEEN COMPLETELY 
 SMASHED OUT AND THAT FURNITURE 
 HAD BEEN TOSSED COMPLETELY 
 ACROSS THE APARTMENT, AND 
 THAT'S STILL THE SITUATION 
 THERE NOW, AND I STILL HAVE NO 
 POWER.
 WE ALSO DON'T HAVE A LOT OF 
 CLARITY ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY 
 HAPPENED.
 AT FIRST, THE GOVERNMENT SAID 
 THIS WAS SOME SORT OF A 
 FIREWORKS STORAGE THAT WAS 
 CAUGHT ON FIRE, AND THAT SCENE,
 OF COURSE, UNREALISTIC 
 CONSIDERING HERE WE ARE, TWO, 
 THREE KILOMETRES AWAY FROM THE 
 BLAST SITE SEEING SUCH DAMAGE.
 THEY'RE NOW SAYING THERE WERE 
 CHEMICALS STORED IN THAT 
 FACILITY AND THAT'S WHY WE SAW 
 SUCH A MASSIVE BLAST.
 WITH ALL THE AMBULANCES GOING 
 BY, WE'RE LIKELY TO SEE THE 
 NUMBER OF DEAD AND INJURED RISE
 DRAMATICALLY TONIGHT AND INTO 
 TOMORROW.
 REBECCA COLLARD, CBC NEWS, 
 BEIRUT.
 >> Adrienne: WITH THOUSANDS OF 
 LEBANESE LIVING IN CANADA, MANY
 PEOPLE GO BACK AND FORTH, AND 
 WE KNOW NOW THAT ONE CANADIAN 
 IS AMONG THOSE WHO DIED. 
 >> STEPHANIE MAGNUM'S FIRST 
 SIGHT OF THE VIDEO WAS BY A 
 COUSIN WHO SENT HERE A VIDEO OF
 IT. 
 >> I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS 
 HAPPENING UNTIL I SAW THE 
 MUSHROOM CLOUD, AND THEN I 
 SCREAMED.
 >> Reporter: MAGNUM HAS MORE 
 THAN 30 RELATIVES LIVING IN 
 LEBANON.
 SHE KNOWS THAT SOME ARE SAFE 
 BUT STILL ARE WAITING TO HEAR 
 FROM OTHERS. 
 >> YOU CAN'T CALL THE POLICE, 
 YOU CAN'T CALL THE GOVERNMENT, 
 YOU CAN'T CALL ANYONE, AND YOU 
 JUST FEEL THAT YOU'RE REALLY 
 ALONE AND THAT YOU'RE HELPLESS.
 >> Reporter: AT LEAST ONE 
 VICTIM DID HAVE A CANADIAN 
 CONNECTION.
 FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF 
 MONTREAL-BASED BUSINESSMAN 
 NIZAR NIJARIAH KILLED IN THE 
 BLAST. 
 >> HE WENT TO TRY TO MAKE 
 LEBANON BETTER, AND FINALLY HE 
 DIED TRYING.
 >> Reporter: THERE WERE 
 MESSAGES OF SUPPORT FROM THE 
 CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.
 ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC NEWS COMING 
 OUT OF BEIRUT WROTE PRIME 
 MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU ON 
 TWITTER.
 >> IT'S A VERY SAD DAY FOR 
 BEIRUT. 
 >> Reporter: THE DIASPORA, MORE
 THAN 200,000 PEOPLE IN CANADA 
 WITH ROOTS IN LEBANON, STILL 
 TRYING TO GET A PICTURE OF THE 
 DEVASTATION. 
 >> VERY DEVASTATING, BUT YOU 
 KNOW WHAT?
 WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE 
 DISASTER, AND IT DOESN'T HELP 
 TO JUST WATCH IT.
 YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO 
 HELP, AND THEN, WE'RE WILLING 
 TO DO IT.
 WE'RE WILLING TO DO IT.
 AND LEBANESE ARE VERY STRONG 
 PEOPLE, AND THEY'LL PULL OUT OF
 IT AND REBUILD. 
 >> Reporter: BUT LEBANESE 
 CANADIANS KNOW THAT REBUILDING 
 WON'T COME EASY AFTER A 
 DISASTER OF SUCH TERRIFYING 
 FORCE.
 TOM PERRY, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
 >> Adrienne: TURNING NOW TO THE
 DEVASTATING CRISIS UNLEASHED BY
 THE CORONAVIRUS.
 TODAY, THE U.N. REPORTED THAT 
 GETTING STUDENTS BACK TO SCHOOL
 WAS KEY TO AVOIDING A 
 GENERATIONAL CATAS
 GENERATIONAL CATASTROPHE. 
 >> GETTING STUDENTS BACK INTO 
 SCHOOL AND SEE LEARNING 
 INSTITUTIONS AS SOON AS 
 POSSIBLE MUST BE A TOP 
 PRIORITY.
 >> Adrienne: WITH SCHOOLS 
 CLOSED IN MORE THAN 160 
 COUNTRIES, HE SAID IT'S A MAJOR
 PRIORITY.
 >>> CANADIAN PARENTS AND 
 TEACHERS ARE PREPARING FOR 
 SCHOOL TO RESUME NEXT MONTH, 
 AND NOT WITHOUT SOME ANXIETY.
 TODAY, ONTARIO'S LARGER SCHOOL 
 BOARD RELEASED ITS PLAN FOR 
 STUDENTS.
 DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON HAS MORE.
 >> Reporter: AFTER FIVE MONTHS 
 AT LEAST, NELSON CARTER IS 
 READY TO GET SOME OF HIS HIGH 
 SCHOOL EXPERIENCE BACK. 
 >> IT'S HARD BECAUSE ESPECIALLY
 WITH TEENAGERS, THEY WANT TO 
 SEE THEIR FRIENDS.
 IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG TIME. 
 >> Reporter: HIS MOTHER, JOY 
 HENDERSON, IS NOT AS THRILLED.
 NELSON IS A STUDENT AT TORONTO 
 DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD, ONE OF 
 MANY FINALIZING THEIR PLANS TO 
 GET STUDENTS BACK TO CLASS.
 THE PROVINCE DELIVERED ITS 
 GUIDELINES FOR REOPENING NEXT 
 WEEK W HIGH SCHOOLS CHANGING 
 THE MOST. 
 >> GROUPS OF 15 STUDENTS ARE 
 ALTERNATE BETWEEN ATTENDING 
 CLASS IN PERSON AND ON-LINE. 
 >> Reporter: IT'S A HYBRID 
 EXPOSURE, BUT A LOGISTICAL 
 CHALLENGE FOR SCHOOLS TRYING TO
 FIGURE OUT HOW TO ROTATE 
 STUDENTS IN A WAY THAT'S SAFEST
 AND BEST FOR LEARNING.
 SO MUCH SO THAT THE TORONTO 
 DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD ALREADY 
 MADE THEN CHANGED ITS PROPOSED 
 SCHEDULE, FROM STUDENTS 
 ATTENDING FOR HALF A DAY EACH 
 DAY TO DIFFERENT GROUPS OF 15 
 ATTENDING ON FULL ALTERNATE 
 DAYS.
 >> WE WERE CONCERNED NOT ONLY 
 WITH STUDENTS TRAVELLING BACK 
 AND FORTH EVERY DAY, BUT WE 
 WERE ALSO CONCERNED WITH HOW 
 CLEANING WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED 
 IN THE SHORT TURNAROUND TIME 
 BETWEEN THE MORNING COHORT AND 
 THE AFTERNOON. 
 >> Reporter: STILL, THIS NEW 
 MODEL COMES WITH ITS OWN 
 CHALLENGES. 
 >> THE CHANGES THAT WE SEE 
 TODAY ARE CHANGES THAT INCREASE
 A RELIANCE ON OR A FOCUS ON 
 SYNCHRONOUS ON-LINE LEARNING. 
 >> Reporter: AND THAT'S JUST 
 ONE SCHOOL BOARD'S PLAN, A PLAN
 THAT WILL LIKELY CHANGE BEFORE 
 SEPTEMBER. 
 >> WE'RE WAITING UNTIL THE END 
 OF AUGUST TO BE CONCRETE IN 
 WHAT OUR DECISION'S GOING TO 
 BE. 
 >> Reporter: A WAITING GAME AS 
 PARENTS, POLITICIANS AND 
 EDUCATORS TRY TO WEAVE THEIR 
 WAY THROUGH COVID'S TANGLED 
 PAST.
 DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON, CBC 
 NEWS, TORONTO.
 >> Adrienne: AND TODAY, ONTARIO
 ANNOUNCED ITS STRATEGY IN 
 MAKING MASKS MANDATORY, BUT NOT
 IN THE ONE PLACE THAT PEOPLE 
 THOUGHT WOULD HAVE THE MOST 
 HELP: IN THE CLASSROOM.
 RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN HAS MORE.
 >> Reporter: WHEN 
 EIGHT-YEAR-OLD WILL CANTOR 
 RETURNS TO SCHOOL IN THREE 
 WEEKS, HE WON'T HAVE TO WEAR A 
 MASK, BUT HIS OLDER BROTHER 
 WILL BE REQUIRED TO.
 THEIR MOM IS ALSO WORRIED ABOUT
 WILL'S ASTHMA, WHICH COULD MAKE
 HER MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO 
 COVID-19 THAN OTHERS. 
 >> WOULD I LIKE TO SEE EVERYONE
 HAVING A MASK, AND MAYBE IF 
 THEY FEEL THAT THE YOUNGER KIDS
 WON'T WELL THEM, THEN SHIELDS 
 OR SCREENS IN BETWEEN THEM. 
 >> Reporter: UNTIL THIS 
 MORNING, THE ALBERTA GOVERNMENT
 WAS NOT GOING TO MANDATE MASKS 
 AT ALL, JUST PHYSICAL 
 DISTANCING AND MORE CLEANING.
 TODAY, THAT CHANGED. 
 >> WE HAVE COMMITTED TO 
 REFINING OUR GUIDELINES TO MAKE
 SURE THEY REFLECT CURRENT 
 MEDICAL EVIDENCE. 
 >> Reporter: THAT REVISION 
 INCLUDES SUPPLYING ALL PUBLIC 
 SCHOOL STUDENTS AND STAFF WITH 
 TWO WASHABLE MASKS AND HUNDREDS
 OF THOUSANDS OF LITRES OF HAND 
 SANITIZER.
 THE MASKS WILL ONLY BE 
 MANDATORY IN COMMON AREAS, AND 
 IF YOU CAN'T KEEP A TWO METRE 
 DISTANCE FOR THOSE WHO ARE TEN 
 OR OLDER.
 BUT THERE IS STILL NO CAP ON 
 CLASS SIZES. 
 >> WE TALKED ABOUT DIFFERENT 
 OPTIONS FOR ARRANGING DESKS SO 
 THAT STUDENTS ARE NOT FACING 
 EACH OTHER.
 >> Reporter: NOT GOOD ENOUGH 
 FOR ONE SCHOOL BOARD IN 
 EDMONTON, WHICH WARNS SOME OF 
 ITS CLASSES HAVE UP TO 40 
 STUDENTS. 
 >> WE NEED TO GO JUST A LITTLE 
 BIT FURTHER BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 
 ABLE TO PHYSICALLY DISTANCE, WE
 WILL BE REQUIRING STUDENTS TO 
 WEAR MASKS WHEN THEY ARE IN 
 CLASSROOMS.
 >> Reporter: HILLARY CANTOR'S 
 KIDS AREN'T PART OF THAT CLASS,
 BUT THEY'LL BE DOING THE SAME.
 SHE HOPES THE COMING YEAR WILL 
 BE AS NORMAL AS POSSIBLE.
 RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN, CBC NEWS, 
 EDMONTON.
 >> Adrienne: SASKATCHEWAN WILL 
 ALSO SEND STUDENTS BACK TO 
 SCHOOL FULL-TIME WITHOUT MAJOR 
 CHANGES IN THE CLASSROOM, AT 
 LEAST FOR NOW. 
 >> THE KEY TO THIS IS TO ENSURE
 THAT STUDENTS RETURN TO SCHOOL 
 IN AS NORMAL A SITUATION AS 
 POSSIBLE, AND WE WANT TO MAKE 
 SURE THAT STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO 
 SOCIALIZE WITH THEIR FRIENDS.
 >> Adrienne: SO NO MANDATORY 
 MASKS OR DECREASED CLASS SIZES,
 BUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS 
 THEY'RE BUYING MASKS AND ARE 
 PLANNING FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING,
 BUT THAT'S ONLY AS A LAST 
 RESORT.
 >> Adrienne: AND DR. BONNIE 
 HENRY WANTS AIRLINES TO 
 COOPERATE WITH CONTACT TRACING,
 BUT THE AIRLINES INSIST THEY 
 ARE HELPING.
 >> Reporter: FOUR MONTHS INTO 
 THE PANDEMIC, AND B.C.s 
 PROVINCIAL HEALTH OFFICER IS 
 STILL SURPRISED BY HOW LITTLE 
 CONTACT INFORMATION AIRLINES 
 PROVIDE WHEN SOMEONE TESTS 
 POSITIVE ON BOARD. 
 >> IT WOULD SHOCK YOU TO SEE 
 WHAT WE GET FROM -- FROM THE 
 AIRLINES WHEN WE REQUEST A 
 FLIGHT MANIFEST. 
 >> Reporter: BONNIE HENRY SAYS 
 ONCE THE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS 
 AND CONTACT TRACING CAME INTO 
 PLAY, THEY STOPPED GATHERING 
 THE INFORMATION. 
 >> WE NEED THAT INFORMATION TO 
 FIND OUT WHO'S AROUND, ALL WE 
 KNOW IS IT'S SOMEBODY WHO PAID 
 $66 FOR THAT SEAT.
 >> Reporter: IN THE LAST TWO 
 WEEKS, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVEN 
 POSITIVE CASES ON FLIGHTS TO 
 B.C., AND OTHERS ACROSS THE 
 COUNTRY.
 AIR CANADA IS SAYING THAT 
 THEY'
 THEY'
 THEY'RE BAFFLED BY DR. HENRY'S 
 CONCERNS AS THEY PROVIDE ANY 
 INFORMATION ON REQUEST AS PART 
 OF A ROBUST PROCESS FOR 
 INFORMATION GATHERING.
 THEY SAY THEY'VE REACHED OUT TO
 DR. HENRY'S OFFICE ON SEVERAL 
 INSTANCES, AND THEY HAVE YET TO
 GET BACK TO THEM. 
 >> PEOPLE CAN JUDGE WHOSE 
 POSITION IS MORE IMPORTANT.
 I THINK IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT DO
 THE CONTACT TRACING.
 >> Reporter: CANADA'S TOP 
 DOCTOR STRESSES THERE HASN'T 
 BEEN A CASE OF CONTACT 
 INFECTION ON A FLIGHT.
 TRANSPORT CANADA SAYS FLIGHT 
 MANIFESTS LIMIT INFORMATION FOR
 PRIVACY REASONS.
 THE AGENCY SAYS IT'S WORKING 
 WITH THE PROVINCES TO 
 STRENGTHEN CONTACT TRACING.

 EXTENDED CLOSURE OF THE 
 CANADA-U.S. BORDER.
 PORTER IS WAVING FEES AND 
 CANCELLATION FEES.
 THEY SUSPENDED OPERATION IN 
 MARCH BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
 >>> AND NORWEGIAN HAS SUSPENDED
 THEIR OPERATIONS BECAUSE OF 
 COVID.
 TODAY, THE NUMBER OF CASES ON 
 THE ROLD AMUNDSEN REACHED 43, 
 AND THAT COULD HAVE DEVASTATING
 CONSEQUENCES FOR BUSINESSES 
 THAT RELY ON IT.
 >> Reporter: KURT IS PREPARING 
 ORDERS FOR DELIVERY.
 >> I STILL HAVE NINE EMPLOYEES 
 THAT I CAN'T BRING BACK BECAUSE
 WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SALES.
 >> Reporter: IT'S BECAUSE SO 
 MUCH OF HIS BUSINESS USUALLY 
 COMES FROM CRUISE SHIPS.
 EACH YEAR, HALIFAX ALONE 
 WELCOMES AROUND 350,000 
 PASSENGERS.
 THE WORRY IS THAT NOW, NEWS OF 
 MORE OUTBREAKS AT SEA WON'T 
 BRING THEM BACK. 
 >> IT'S SIMPLY ANOTHER, YOU 
 COULD SAY, CROWN ON OUR 
 PARTICULAR BAD YEAR. 
 >> Reporter: THIS GLOBAL 
 STUDIES PROFESSOR SAYS THE 
 NORWEGIAN SHIP, THE H.M.S.
 H.M.S. ROLD AMUNDSEN, WAS 
 TESTING THE WATERS.
 IT DIDN'T WORK.
 THE SHIP ALSO SERVES AS A LOCAL
 FERRY, SO THERE'S A CONCERN 
 SOME PASSENGERS MAY HAVE 
 DISEMBARKED UNAWARE AND SPREAD 
 THE VIRUS TO COMMUNITIES ALONG 
 THE ROUTE.
 THE CRUISE LINE HAS APOLOGIZED 
 AND ADMITTED IT MADE MISTAKES.
 THE SHIP IS NOW TIED UP, AND 
 NORWAY HAS CLOSED ITS PORTS TO 
 SHIPS CARRYING MORE THAN 100 
 PEOPLE FOR TWO WEEKS.
 NOVA SCOTIA HAS CANCELLED ITS 
 SEASON UNTIL THE END OF 
 OCTOBER, EFFECTIVELY CANCELLING
 THE SEASON UNTIL 2021. 
 >> THERE IS WORRY THAT PEOPLE 
 HAVE ENOUGH DISCRETIONARY 
 INCOME TO TRAVEL. 
 >> Reporter: STILL, HE BELIEVES
 IT'S POSSIBLE FOR THE INDUSTRY 
 TO REBOUND NEXT YEAR, BUT KURT 
 ISN'T CONVINCED. 
 >> UNFORTUNATELY, I FEEL THAT 
 PART OF THE INDUSTRY MAY BE 
 BROKEN FOR A LONG TIME, IF NOT 
 FOREVER. 
 >> Reporter: SAD NEWS FOR 
 BUSINESS OWNERS WHO, LIKE THE 
 CRUISE INDUSTRY, ARE JUST 
 TRYING TO STAY AFLOAT.
 HOU
 KAYLA HOUNSELL, CBC NEWS, 
 TORONTO.
 >> WE CAN'T JUST PUT ALL OF OUR
 FOCUS ON THE HOPES THAT THIS IS
 THE SILVER BULLET SOLUTION.
 >> Adrienne: DR. TAM SAYS 
 PEOPLE STILL NEED TO PRACTICE 
 MEASURES LIKE MASK WEARING, 
 PHYSICAL DISTANCING, AND HAND 
 WASHING.
 OVER THE LAST SEVEN DAYS, 
 CANADA HAS SEEN AN AVERAGE OF 
 400 NEW CASES A DAY.
 THAT'S DOWN FROM MORE THAN 500 
 LAST WEEK.
 >>> ONTARIO IS ONE OF THOSE 
 REGIONS ON THE DOWNWARD TREND, 
 BUT WINDSOR ESSEX IS NOT, SO 
 IT'S STUCK IN STAGE TWO 
 REOPENING.
 NUMEROUS TEMPORARY WORKERS HAVE
 TESTED POSITIVE, AND SOME SAY 
 THEIR RIGHTS ARE BEING 
 VIOLATED.
 >> Reporter: WE WORKED 16 HOURS
 A DAY, THIS WORKER SAYS.
 THE HOUSING CONDITIONS WEREN'T 
 GOOD.
 SOME WORKERS NOW SAY THEIR 
 EMPLOYERS ARE CONFINING THEM TO
 THE FARMS WHERE THEY WORK.
 ASKING THEM TO SIGN AGREEMENTS 
 THAT PREVENT THE WORKERS FROM 
 LEAVING EVEN TO PREVENT WORKERS
 FROM GETTING GROCERIES OR SEND 
 MONEY BACK HOME.
 [SPEAKING SPANISH LANGUAGE]
 >> Reporter: MIGRANT WORKERS 
 NATIONWIDE LIVE IN OFTEN 
 CRAMPED DORMITORIES WHERE 
 PHYSICAL DISTANCING IS 
 IMPOSSIBLE.
 THE GOVERNMENT HAS PLEDGED MORE
 THAN 58 DP$58 MILLION TO IMPROVE 
 CONDITIONS, SAYS THE FEDERAL 
 MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE. 
 >> WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN.
 WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW DIVERSE 
 AGRICULTURE IS IN CANADA, YOU 
 MIGHT HAVE A DAIRY FARM, YOU 
 MIGHT HAVE A GREENHOUSE, YOU 
 MIGHT HAVE A MUSHROOM FARM, AND
 EACH OF THOSE HAS DIFFERENT 
 REQUIREMENTS FOR LABOUR AND 
 DIFFERENT SITUATIONS IN THE 
 DAY-TO-DAY WORK.
 >> Reporter: FRANKLY, WHAT'S 
 NEEDED, SAID WORKER ADVOCATES, 
 IS PERMANENT RESIDENCY STATUS. 
 >> THIS SHOWS IN A TEMPORARY 
 IMMIGRATION SITUATION, 
 EMPLOYERS CAN CONTINUE TO USE 
 AND EXPLOIT PEOPLE.
 >> THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, CREATING 
 A SEPARATE SET OF RULES FOR A 
 SPECIFIC GROUP OF WORKERS ISN'T
 FAIR.
 >> Reporter: STILL, ONE WORKER 
 IS PROUD HE WENT PUBLIC, IF 
 ONLY FOR ONE OF HIS FRIENDS WHO
 DIED OF THE VIRUS.
 ELLEN MORROW, CBC NEWS,

 CBC NEWS HAS LEARNED HUNDREDS 
 OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY

 BENEFITS, AND THAT'S BECAUSE 
 IDENTITY THIEVES ARE MAKING ALL
 SORTS OF CLAIMS UNDER THEIR

 LAUREN PELLEY SHOWS US HOW THEY

 >> I WAS LIKE UH-OH, THIS 
 JUST -- I JUST HAD A FEELING 
 THIS WASN'T GOOD.
 >> Reporter: TWO MONTHS AGO, 
 THE GOVERNMENT DENIED TAMARA 
 CATERs APPLICATION FOR SUPPORT.
 SHOCKED BECAUSE SHE HAD ALREADY
 APPLIED FOR THREE ROUNDS SINCE 
 APRIL.
 GOVERNMENT RECORDS SHOW SHE HAD
 ALSO FILED FOR UNEMPLOYMENT 
 APPOINTMENTS FOR A JOB THEY 
 NEVER HELD. 
 >> EVENTUALLY, THEY FIGURED OUT
 THAT SOMEONE HAD APPLIED FOR 
 E.I. BENEFITS UNDER MY NAME.
 >> Reporter: SHE'S ONE OF 
 HUNDREDS OF CANADIANS WHO'S HAD
 HER IDENTITY STOLEN AND APPLIED
 FOR BENEFITS UNDER HER NAME 
 DURING THE PANDEMIC.
 384 REPORTS CAME FROM QUEBEC.
 ANOTHER 172 WERE FROM ONTARIO,

 THEFT CALLS.
 THEY ALSO NOTED ANYONE ELSE 
 ELIGIBLE FOR CERB ARE ELIGIBLE 
 FOR THEIR MISSED PAYMENTS. 
 >> NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN IT'S
 GOING TO BE RESOLVED.
 I'VE BEEN ABLE TO BORROW MONEY 
 FROM PEOPLE TO PAY MY RENT, BUT
 THAT'S AN UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING
 WHEN PEOPLE ARE ALREADY UNDER 
 STRESS.
 >> Reporter: FOR NOW, CATER 
 SAYS SHE'S STUCK IN A POSITION 
 FEELING STRESS WITH NO 
 SOLUTION.
 >> Adrienne: AND PEOPLE IN 
 FLORITHE 
 STATES HUNKERED DOWN AS A 
 HURRICANE PUMMELLED THE EAST

 ISAIAS HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED TO A

 JUAN CARLOS SHOCKED THE COUNTRY
 YESTERDAY, ANNOUNCING THAT HE

 ABOUT HIS DESTINATION.
 HE IS THE SUBJECT OF A GROWING 
 SCANDAL THAT HAS SPARKED

 SOME SPECULATE THAT HE'S GONE

 THAT HASN'T BEEN CONFIRMED.

 BEFORE THE WORLD WAS SWEPT UP 
 BY COVID -19, A MAN FROM REGINA 
 WON AWARDS FOR HIS UNDERWATER

 ANDREW SPOKE WITH HIM IN THE 
 BAHAMAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC 
 HIT.
 >> Andrew: THIS IS A PLACE 
 HUMAN EYES DON'T OFTEN SEE, BUT
 HUMANITY'S IMPACT HERE, 
 UNDENIABLE.
 IT IS OFTEN HIDDEN, OUT OF 
 SIGHT, BUT NOT TO EVERYONE.
 SHANE GROSS SPENDS MUCH OF HIS 
 TIME IN A PLACE WHERE IT'S EASY
 TO FEEL UNWELCOME, BUT HE FEELS
 AT HOME AND ONE THAT HE SHARES.
 >> I TRY TO TELL LONG FORM 
 STORIES ABOUT THE OCEAN.
 SOMETIMES IT'S A SINGLE FRAME, 
 SOMETIMES IT'S TEN OR 15 
 PICTURES THAT TRY TO TELL A 
 NARRATIVE STORY.
 WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DID HE 
 FEND WHY A CERTAIN -- DEFEND 
 WHY A CERTAIN SPECIES SHOULD BE
 ON THE PLANET, AND BY GETTING 
 THE STORY OUT THERE, MAYBE SOME
 MORE PEOPLE WILL CARE.
 >> Andrew: HUMILITY, IT IS 
 SHANE'S GUIDE, BUT HE'S DRIVEN 
 BY A PASSION TO PROTECT.
 SO CONSIDER WHEN SOMEONE WHO 
 LOVES TO PHOTOGRAPH LIFE HAS TO
 PHOTOGRAPH DEATH. 
 >> YOU KNOW, I'VE SPENT A LOT 
 OF TIME IN THE WATER WITH LIVE 
 STUA
 TURTLES, BUT IT WAS DEPRESSING.
 IT WAS A GREEN TURTLE TANGLED 
 IN FISHING LINE.
 TO SEE LIFE IN THE EYES OF A 
 TURTLE, AND THEN ONE WHERE IT'S
 GONE, ITS EYES HAVE BEEN EATEN 
 OUT BY SCAVENGERS, IT'S 
 HAUNTING.
 IT WAS KILLED FOR NO REASON.
 IT WAS A COMPLETE WASTE.
 IT WOULD HAVE SUFFERED IN ITS 
 FINAL MOMENTS.
 TURTLES NEED TO COME UP TO THE 
 SURFACE TO BREATHE AIR, SO IT 
 WOULD HAVE BEEN ENTANGLED IN 
 THE LINE AND TRIED TO MAKE IT 
 UP TO THE SURFACE AND COULDN'T,
 SO THE TURTLE DROWNED, WHICH 
 MUST HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE WAY 
 TO GO, AS WELL.
 IT'S EMOTIONAL. 
 >> Andrew: DOES IT MAKE YOU 
 ANGRY?
 >> OF COURSE.
 I'M ANGRY ALL THE TIME.
 I'M ANGRY WHEN I LOOK AT A 
 SHORELINE AND I SEE PLASTIC 
 BOTTLES AND PLASTIC BAGS.
 ANGER IN ITS RAW FORM DOESN'T 
 ACCOMPLISH MUCH.
 I TRY TO USE IT AS A MOTIVATION
 TO TRY TO INSPIRE CHANGE. 
 >> >> Andrew: IT'S A PHOTO THAT
 STILL HAUNTS SHANE, BUT ONE 
 THAT WON HIM ATTENTION.
 IT WON AN INTERNATIONAL 
 PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD, BUT SHANE 
 KNOWS THAT GETTING PEOPLE TO 
 TAKE THE SITUATION SERIOUSLY 
 ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN BY 
 ACCIDENT.
 IT TAKES METICULOUS PLANNING.
 WHEN SHANE PREPARES FOR A 
 SHOOT, HE CONSTANTLY CHECKS AND
 RECHECKS, NO DETAIL TOO SMALL.
 TODAY, SHANE'S PACKING FOR A 
 SHOOT AT A SECRET LOCATION ON A
 NEARBY ISLAND, AND HE'S TAKING 
 ME WITH HIM.
 >> Andrew: ALL RIGHT.
 SHANE, WE'RE ON ELUTHRA ISLAND,
 IN THE BAHAMAS.
 WHERE ARE WE?
 >> WE'RE IN SOUTH ELUTHRA, AND 
 THAT'S AS SPECIFIC AS I WANT TO
 GET. 
 >> Andrew: WHY?
 >> WELL, IF TOO MANY PEOPLE 
 COME IN, IT COULD SCARE THE 
 WILDLIFE, AND IT COULD LEAD TO 
 POACHERS KILLING THE WILDLIFE 
 OFF.
 >> Andrew: SO HOW MANY PEOPLE 
 KNOW THE SPOT WE'RE ABOUT TO 
 HEAD TO?
 >> MAYBE A FEW RESEARCHERS AND 
 LOCAL FISHERMEN.
 >> Andrew: AND IT'S JUST RIGHT 
 UP HERE?
 >> YEAH.
 WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A 
 TREK, AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT 
 CHOPPY, SO IT'LL BE A FUN, 
 SPLASHY TREK. 
 >> Andrew: FOR THIS, SHANE 
 PACKS LIGHT.
 HE KNOWS THE SHOT HE WANTS TO 
 GET, ONE OF BABY LEMON SHARKS 
 FREE OF PREDATORS AND PEOPLE. 
 >> THE FIRST TIME I CAME HERE, 
 IT WAS A DISASTER.
 I THOUGHT THE SHARKS WOULD COME
 TO THE CAMERA AGGRESSIVELY LIKE
 PEOPLE THINK SHARKS DO, AND IT 
 WAS A DISASTER.
 THEY WOULDN'T COME CLOSE. 
 >> Andrew: TODAY, HE'S HOPING 
 FOR BETTER LUCK. 
 >> WE'RE SEEING THEM COME IN A 
 COUPLE METRES, AND THEN THEY'RE
 COMING OFF TO DO WHATEVER THEY 
 DO, AND THEN HOPEFULLY, THEY 
 COME BACK.
 >> Andrew: HOW LONG HAVE YOU 
 SPENT WAITING FOR THE PERFECT 
 SHOT?
 >> OH, I'VE SPENT DAYS WAITING.
 TWO OF MY FAVOURITE SHOTS WERE 
 UP HERE.
 ONE OF THEM, I HAD MY CAMERA 
 BELOW THE SURFACE, AND CLOUDS 
 ROLLED IN.
 THEN, THE SUN SHOWN BEHIND THE 
 CLOUDS, AND I GOT IT, AND I 
 JUST LOVE IT.
 THE MOMENTS YOU LIVE FOR, YOU 
 KNOW?
 >> Andrew: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
 OTHER PLACES LIKE THIS AROUND 
 THE AREA?
 >> WELL, WE'RE PRETTY LUCKY 
 THAT WE HAVE SOME REALLY 
 BEAUTIFUL PLACES, AND ONE PLACE
 THAT I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME 
 BECAUSE IT'S JUST STUNNING, I 
 CALL IT THE SAPPHIRE BLUE HOLE.
 IT'S SOME OF THE CLEAREST WATER
 YOU CAN IMAGINE, AND THERE'S 
 ALL KINDS OF WILDLIFE IN THERE,
 BUT NOW, THAT'S CHANGED.
 >> Andrew: SO THIS IS SAPPHIRE 
 BLUE HOLE. 
 >> THIS IS SAPPHIRE BLUE HOLE.
 >> Andrew: THERE'S A WHOLE 
 ECOSYSTEM OF LIFE IN THERE. 
 >> YEAH.
 SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF KEY 
 SPECIES THAT LIVE IN HERE THAT 
 CAN'T LIVE IN OTHER ECOSYSTEMS 
 WHERE THERE WOULD BE LARGE 
 PREDATORS.
 SO THIS IS A CLOSED ECOSYSTEM, 
 WHICH MAKES IT QUITE UNIQUE AND
 IMPORTANT FOR THE TWO SPECIES, 
 THE CAVE RED SHRIMP, AND THE BA
 HBA
  -- BAHAMA SHRIMP.
 >> Andrew: WHERE DO THEY GET 
 THEIR FOOD FROM?
 >> WELL, THERE'S INSECTS, AND 
 THE LEAVES THEMSELVES.
 I'VE SEEN THE SHRIMP EATING THE
 LEAVES AND THE PRAYING MANTISES
 THAT FALL IN THERE. 
 >> Andrew: SO THIS PLACE LOOKS 
 VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST 
 TIME YOU'VE BEEN HERE?
 >> YEAH.
 JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF 
 WEEKS, SOMEONE CUT ALL THE 
 TREES AROUND THE PERIMETRE DOWN
 AND PUT UP THIS FENCE. 
 >> Andrew: THIS FENCE WASN'T 
 HERE?
 >> NO, AS LITTLE AS TWO WEEKS 
 AGO, THIS FENCE WASN'T HERE.
 >> Andrew: AND YOU CAN SEE THE 
 TREES -- 
 >> YEAH, I'M STEPPING ONE RIGHT
 NOW.
 THERE WAS TREES GOING 360° 
 AROUND THE BLUE HOLE.
 I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE GAVE ANY
 CONSIDERATION TO WHAT IMPACT 
 THAT'S GOING TO HAVE ON THE 
 ANIMALS, AND THE INTRODUCTION 
 OF TOURISTS INTO THE AREAS 
 COULD BRING IN THE INTRODUCTION
 OF CHEMICALS, LIKE SUNSCREEN 
 AND INSECT REPELLANT, WHICH 
 COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON
 IT.
 >> Andrew: THE REASON SHANE 
 BROUGHT ME HERE WAS NOT ONLY TO
 SHOW ME HOW THE AREA HAS 
 CHANGED, BUT ALSO A PICTURE 
 THAT HE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET
 AGAIN.
 >> I WANTED TO SHOW THE 
 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FISH 
 AND HIS ENVIRONMENT.
 IT WAS SHOWING THE FISH IN THE 
 WATER WITH THE ENVIRONMENT 
 ABOVE, THE TREES OVERHANGING 
 THE BLUE HOLE.
 YOU CAN SEE HOW FRAGILE IT IS.
 ANY SMALL CHANGE COULD BE 
 CATASTROPHIC FOR THE ANIMALS 
 THAT LIVE IN THERE.
 THERE ARE A LOT OF STILL 
 UNTOUCHED PLACES IN THE BAHAMAS
 COMPARED TO SOME OTHER PLACES 
 IN THE WORLD, BUT THERE ARE 
 DEFINITELY PLACES THAT HAVE 
 BEEN, IN MY OPINION, DESTROYED.
 THE REASON WHY PEOPLE GO TO 
 THESE PLACES IN THE FIRST PLACE
 IS FOR THEIR NATURAL BEAUTY, 
 AND TO ME, WHEN YOU START TO 
 MESS WITH THAT, IT KIND OF 
 DEFEATS ITS OWN PURPOSE.
 >> Andrew: SHANE'S BIGGEST 
 FEAR?
 THAT WE ARE RECKLESSLY ERASING 
 THE ANIMALS LIKE THE LUCY FUGA 
 FROM SPINS. 
 
 >> -- FROM EXISTENCE. 
 >> WHEN I DO HEAR PLANS TO TURN
 A NATURAL AREA IN A MARINA, I 
 GET ANGRY.
 WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEFEND A 
 SPECIES' RIGHT TO SURVIVE ON 
 OUR PLANET.
 THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT RIGHT 
 INHERENTLY.
 I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT.
 >> Andrew: IT'S LONELY WORK, 
 BUT WITH EACH PHOTOGRAPH HE 
 TAKES, SHANE IS DRIVEN TO MAKE 
 A DIFFERENCE. 
 >> WELL, I JUST HOPE IT 
 CONNECTS WITH PEOPLE ON AN 
 EMOTIONAL LEVEL.
 WE ARE CONSTANTLY INUNDATED 
 WITH STATISTICS AND FACTS, AND 
 IT DOESN'T SEEM TO LEAD TO ANY 
 KIND OF CHANGE, BUT AN 
 EMOTIONAL CONNECTION CAN LEAD 
 TO CHANGE.
 >> Andrew: SHANE'S RECENT 
 PRIZE?
 PROOF THAT PEOPLE CARE, BUT THE
 MISSION, THAT NEVER ENDS.
 >> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE 
 NATIONAL," RETHINKING OBESITY 
 IN CANADA. 
 >> I'VE EXPERIENCED SITUATIONS 
 WHERE DOCTORS AND HEALTH 
 PROFESSIONALS KIND OF BRUSH OFF
 MY CONCERNS AND ATTRIBUTE IT TO
 MY WEIGHT. 
 >> Adrienne: SHIFTING AWAY FROM
 COUNTING CALOR
 >> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
 A MAJORITY OF ADULT CANADIANS 
 ARE EITHER OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE,
 A CONDITION THAT CAN LEAD TO 
 SERIOUS HEALTH CHALLENGES, SO 
 NOW, DOCTORS ARE MAKING A MAJOR
 SHIFT IN HOW THEY TREAT OBESE 
 PATIENTS, AND AS THOMAS DAIGLE 
 REPORTS, IT'S MORE THAN JUST 
 ABOUT THE NUMBER ON THAT SCALE.
 >> Reporter: EVERYONE KNOWS 
 HEALTHY HABITS LIKE RIDING A 
 BIKE CAN HELP FIGHT OBESITY, 
 BUT THERE'S MUCH MORE TO IT 
 THAN THAT.
 LISA SCHAFER KNOWS THAT IT'S 
 COMPLICATED.
 HER DOCTORS DIDN'T ALWAYS 
 AGREE. 
 >> THEY FURTHER JUST 
 STIGMATIZED THE ISSUE AND IT IS
 UP TO ME, AND MOVING MORE AND 
 EATING LESS, WHICH WE NOW KNOW 
 IS NOT THE TRUTH.
 >> Reporter: NEW GUIDELINES 
 PUBLISHED IN THE CANADIAN 
 JOURNAL GO BEYOND THE BASIC 
 MEASURES OF EAT LESS AND MOVE 
 MORE.
 THE GUIDELINES WERE WRITTEN BY 
 MORE THAN 60 EXPERTS.
 DR. SEAN WHARTON IS ONE OF THE 
 EXPERTS, AND THAT'S NOT THE 
 ONLY BIG CHANGE.
 OBESITY ISN
 OBESITY SHOULDN'T BE DIAGNOSED 
 WITH SIMPLE NUMBERS LIKE 
 SOMEONE'S WAIST SIZE AND BODY 
 MASS INDEX.
 IT'S CAUSED BY EVERYTHING FROM 
 GENETICS TO SURROUNDING, AND 
 THE STIGMA THAT COMES WITH 
 OBESITY NEEDS TO BE TACKLED, 
 TOO. 
 >> I'VE EXPERIENCED SITUATIONS 
 WHERE DOCTORS AND HEALTH CARE 
 PROFESSIONALS BRUSH OFF MY 
 CONCERNS AND ATTRIBUTE IT TO MY
 WEIGHT RATHER THAN ADDRESSING 
 THE CONCERNS. 
 >> Reporter: ROUGHLY 2 MILLION 
 CANADIAN ADULTS ARE CONSIDERED 
 OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE.
 A HEALTHY DIET IS STILL 
 RECOMMENDED, BUT SO ARE MENTAL 
 HEALTH TECHNIQUES, AND 
 SOMETIMES PRESCRIPTION DRUGS 
 AND BARIATRIC SURGERY. 
 >> IT DOESN'T HELP WHEN WE USE 
 TACTICS LIKE JUDGING, 
 HUMILIATION, AND EMBARRASSMENT.
 >> Reporter: THERE ARE OTHER 
 TREATMENTS, BUT SIMPLE BASICS 
 LIKE EXERCISE STILL GO A LONG 
 WAY.
 THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, 
 TORONTO.
 >> Adrienne: NEXT UP, 
 REFLECTIONS ON A
 >> Adrienne: THE FIRST AMERICAN
 ASTRONAUTS TO RIDE TO THE 
 INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
 BA
 BACK ABOARD A COMMERCIAL 
 SPACECRAFT TALKED ABOUT THEIR 
 JOURNEY AND WHERE THEY GO FROM 
 HERE.
 PAUL HUNTER HAS MORE ON THEIR 
 SPACE ODYSSEY. 
 >> Reporter: THERE WAS A TIME, 
 NOT TOO LONG AGO, WHERE WE ALL 
 THOUGHT THAT BY 2001, PUBLIC 
 SPACE TRAVEL WITH A COMPANY 
 LIKE PAN-AM MAY BE NORMAL.
 IT DIDN'T QUITE WORK OUT, BUT 
 WHEN THE SPACE CAPSULE WITH TWO
 AMERICAN ASTRONAUTS ON BOARD 
 CAME BACK TO EARTH ON SUNDAY, 
 IT MADE HISTORY AS IT BOBBED IN
 THE WATERS OFF THE COAST OF 
 FLORIDA, IT MARKED THE END OF 
 THE FIRST U.S. MISSION SENDING 
 PEOPLE INTO ORBIT ON A PRIVATE 
 SPACECRAFT.
 IN SO DOING, BILLIONAIRE OWNER 
 OF SPACEX, ELON MUSK, ANNOUNCED
 THE AGE OF SPACE TRAVEL MAY BE 
 UPON US.
 TODAY, THE TWO ASTRONAUTS ON 
 BOARD, BOTH NASA VETERANS, SAID
 THE WHOLE THING WENT OFF 
 WITHOUT A HITCH.
 62 DAYS IN ORBIT, GETTING SOME 
 WORK DONE ON THE SPACE STATION 
 AND THEN GETTING THEMSELVES 
 BACK HOME, AND WHAT A RIDE THAT
 WAS, THEY SAID.
 CLOUDS, RUSHING BY, EVER 
 FASTER, AND THE SOUND, THEY 
 SAID -- 
 >> IT CAME ALIVE.
 THE ATMOSPHERE STARTS TO MAKE 
 NOISE.
 IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A 
 MACHINE, IT SOUNDS LIKE 
 AN ANIMAL WITH ALL THE PUFFS 
 COMING THROUGH THE THRUSTERS. 
 >> Reporter: BUT THE 
 ASTRONAUTS, IN A SENSE, 
 RUN-OF-THE-MILL.
 MAYBE NOW, THE DREAM OF SENDING
 NONASTRONAUTS UP THERE.
 IF SO, THE TWO ONLY TO HAVE 
 DONE IT ON A SPACEX VEHICLE SO 
 FAR. 
 >> THEY SHOULD BE ON BOARD AND 
 GET THE EXPERIENCE IF THEY'RE 
 LUCKY ENOUGH TO DO IT. 
 >> Reporter: SAYS SPACEX, MAYBE
 NEXT YEAR.
 PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS, "THE 
 NATIONAL." 
 >> Adrienne:
 >> Adrienne: DONATO D. DONATO 
 HAS BEEN A BARBER FOR THE LAST 
 65 YEARS, A FIXTURE IN MONCTON,
 AND NOW, HE'S DECIDED IT'S TIME
 TO RETIRE.
 HE STARTED HIS CAREER IN 1955 
 IN ITALY.
 HIS LAST DAY AFTER A LONG, 
 STORIED CAREER IS OUR "MOMENT."
 >> TODAY, I HAVE A LOT OF MY 
 OLD FRIENDS COMING TO SEE ME TO
 WISH, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, FOR
 MY RETIREMENT.
 I STARTED SCHOOL IN 1955 IN 
 ITALY.
 I WENT TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING
 AND WENT TO CUT HAIR IN THE 
 AFTERNOON.
 I CAME TO MONCTON ON AUGUST 14,
 1965, AND GOOD CUSTOMER, NICE 
 CLEAN BUSINESS.
 WE ENJOY EVERY DAY, COMING TO 
 WORK.
 I LIKE PEOPLE, AND THE PEOPLE 
 LIKE ME.
 I'M PROUD OF MY FAMILY, AND I'M
 PROUD TO BE A GRANDPA.
 THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE 
 PEOPLE OF MONCTON TO SUPPORT ME
 FOR SO MANY YEARS.
 >> Adrienne: AND THANK YOU, 
 DONATO.
 SO WHO WAS HIS CLIENTS ON HIS 
 LAST DAY?
 THERE WAS A MAN, 99 YEARS OLD, 
 DONATO'S GRANDSONS AND SONS, 
 AND HE SAID THE KEY TO BEING 
 SUCCESSFUL ALL THOSE YEARS IS 
 REMEMBERING IN BARBERING WHAT'S
 OLD IS NOW NEW AGAIN.
 THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR 
 TONIGHT, AND CONGRATS.
