>> ADRIENNE: ON THIS WEDNESDAY 
NIGHT, BRITAIN SAYS ENOUGH WITH 
THE KREMLIN.
DEFIANCE AND TAKES ACTION.
THERESA MAY SAID THE 
DIPLOMATS...
SOME SAY IT IS TOO MUCH 
RESPONSE.
>> THE U.S. HIGH SCHOOLERS 
WALKED OUT ON MASS.
WE ARE ON THE GROUND IN 
PARKLAND, FLORIDA.
>> WE WILL REMEMBER THE LIFE OF
INCOMPARABLE STEPHEN HAWKINS.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> ADRIENNE: A SERIOUS 
PROVOCATION AND ABSOLUTELY
UNACCEPTABLE.
THOSE WORDS CAN CERTAINLY 
DESCRIBE LONDON'S ANGER WITH THE
KREMLIN.
THEY WERE USED TODAY BY RUSSIA'S
AMBASSADOR TO THE U.K. 
AIMED AT THERESA MAY FOR 
--
RETALIATORY ACTION.
>> THE U.K. SHOULD HOLD 
TO
INTERNATIONAL LAW.
WE ARE NOT READY TO TALK.
>> ADRIENNE: EARLIER, THE PRIME 
MINISTER MAY ANNOUNCED TOUGH 
RETALIATORY
MEASURES AGAINST MOSCOW.
AFTER THE KREMLIN MISSED THE 
DEADLINE TO EXPLAIN HOW A 
RUSSIAN DEVELOPED NERVE GAS WAS 
USED TO POISON A FORMER RUSSIAN 
SPY AND HIS DAUGHTER.
>> THIS REPRESENTS AN UNLAWFUL 
USE OF FORCE BY
THE RUSSIAN STATE IN THE UNITED 
KINGDOM.
>> Adrienne: MAY SAID 23
RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS WILL BE 
EXPELLED.
THE LARGEST SINCE THE COLD WAR.
MEASURES ALSO INCLUDE FREEZING 
RUSSIAN STATE ASSETS AND NOT 
SENDING THE ROYALS OR THE 
BRITISH M.P.S TO THE BRITISH 
SOCCER WORLD CUP.
THIS SUMMER.
MAY VOWED TO ROOT OUT RUSSIAN 
CRIMINALS AND CORRUPT ELITES.
>> THERE IS NO PLACE FOR THESE 
PEOPLE OR THEIR MONEY IN OUR 
COUNTRY.
>> ADRIENNE: THE ESCALATION OF 
TENSION BETWEEN THE TWO 
COUNTRIES IS RATTLING THE 
RUSSIANS.
THAT CALL THE U.K. HOME.
AS THOMAS DAIGLE TELLS US, THEY 
FEAR THEY ARE ALL PAINTED WITH 
THE SAME BRUSH.
>> REPORTER: WITH MONEY IN THIS 
NEIGHBOUR LIKE KENSINGTON AND 
MAYFAIR, LONDON KNOWS HOW
TO CATER TO THE SUPER RICH.
ATTRACTING EXILES, FULL OF 
RUSSIAN MONEY, THEY CALL IT 
LONDONGRAD AND MOSCOW ON THAMES.
ALL THE BETTER FOR THIS MAN.
AND HIS WINE SHOP.
STOCKING BOTTLES ONLY THE 
WEALTHY
CAN AFFORD.
THE CHANGE OF PACE FROM THE 
PREVIOUS CAREER AS A MOSCOW 
CELLPHONE TYCOON WHO SPOKE OUT A
LITTLE TOO LOUDLY AGAINST 
CORRUPTION IN RUSSIA AND LEFT IN
A HURRY.
>> I AM WORRIED ABOUT MYSELF AND
MY FAMILY OF COURSE.
IT IS TEN TIMES SAFER THAN IN 
RUSSIA.
>> REPORTER: THE ATTACK ON 
SERGEI AND YULIA AND THE FALLOUT
HAS BEEN BAD NEWS ALL AROUND FOR
RUSSIAN LONDONERS.
>> PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO SAY 
THOSE GUYS BROUGHT CHEMICAL 
WEAPONS.
AND
THIS IMPACTS ON THE RUSSIANS 
LIVING HERE.
THEY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS 
SUPPOSEDLY BARBARIC POLICY.
>> REPORTER: ANNOUNCING 
BRITAIN'S RETALIATION TODAY, THE
PRIME MINISTER AIMED CAREFULLY.
>> MANY RUSSIANS HAVE MADE THIS 
COUNTRY THEIR HOME.
ABIDE BY OUR LAWS AND MAKE AN 
IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO OUR 
COUNTRY WHICH WE MUST CONTINUE 
TO WELCOME.
BUT TO THOSE WHO SEEK TO DO US 
HARM, MY MESSAGE IS SIMPLE, YOU 
ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.
>> REPORTER: SHE SET HER SIGHTS 
MOST
PRESSINGLY HERE ON THE RUSSIAN 
EMBASSY.
A CENTER OF WHAT MAY CALLED AN 
ESPIONAGE NETWORK IN THE U.K. 
NOT EVERY RUSSIAN IN LONDON IS A
SPY.
THOUGH,
SOME SENSE THEY ARE CAST AS THE 
ENEMY.
THIS MAN WILL BE HOME WITH HIS 
SON
TONIGHT.
HE SAID,
HE IS NOT MADE TO FEEL AT HOME 
HERE...
>> WE ARE RUSSIANS.
I AM A RUSSIAN.
I AM SURE SHE MEANS ME TOO.
>> REPORTER: HE NEEDED TO FIND A
NEW HOME AFTER THIS IN 2010.
GETTING BEAT TO A PULP IN MOSCOW
AFTER CRITICIZING A PUTIN ALLY.
AS MUCH AS BRITAIN CAN STAND UP 
TO THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT, HE 
SAID IT SERVES TO EMBOWL -- 
EMBOLDEN PUTIN AND HIS
VIEW OF THE WEST.
TONIGHT, LONDON POLICE ESCORTED 
VEHICLES FROM THE EMBASSY.
WHETHER DIPLOMATS OR SPIES, THEY
ARE ON THE WAY OUT.
WHILE THE CRISIS ONLY SEEMS TO 
BE GROWING.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, LONDON.
>> ADRIENNE: WHILE RUSSIAN 
EX-PATS MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO FEEL
ABOUT ALL OF THIS, THE POWER 
PLAYERS IN LONDON AND MOSCOW DO.
AS SUSAN ORMISTON EXPLAINS,
YOU CAN EXPECT BOTH SIDES TO 
START SWINGING AT EACH OTHER 
EVEN HARDER.
>> Reporter: AS IF BY DESIGN, 
BRITAIN TOSSED
THE RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS, PUTIN 
SENT TO HUGS TO CRIMEA ON THE 
CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
CRIMEA, ONE OF THE BIGGEST 
IRRITANTS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE
WEST.
MOSCOW WILL THROW OUT BRITISH 
DIPLOMATS IN EQUAL NUMBERS.
AS IT FORECASTS FREEZING 
RELATIONS.
THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY TWEETING...
WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF COLD 
WEATHER.
BUT DID MAY'S REACTION RATTLE 
RUSSIA?
NO.
>> IF THEY WANTED TO DO 
SOMETHING,
THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO 
IT.
THEY SHOULD GO OUT AND FREEZE 
AND SEIZE PROPERTY IN THE U.K. 
WHICH AMOUNTS TO A LOT OF THE 
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS 
THERE AND KREMLIN CONNECTED 
ALL -- OLGUARDS.
>> REPORTER: EXPULSIONS ARE THE 
WAY ANGRY COUNTRIES PUNISH EACH 
OTHER.
THE BIGGEST NEARLY 50 YEARS AGO.
WHEN THE U.K. KICKED OUT 90 
INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS.
MOST RECENTLY, PRESIDENT OBAMA 
OUSTED 35 RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS FOR 
INFLUENCING THE U.S. ELECTION.
THERE WAS NOT TIT FOR TAT.
MOSCOW CHOSE NOT TO ANTAGONIZE 
TRUMP.
RUSSIAN RELATIONS HAVE SUNK 
SINCE THEN.
>> THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE ACT 
OF TERRORISM
BY VLADIMIR PUTIN.
AND 23 IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET.
>> THIS IS A QUESTION OF THE 
CULPABILITY OF THE RUSSIAN 
STATE.
>> Reporter: IN THIS CASE, THE 
U.K. HAS INDICATED THE
EXPULSIONS ARE THE FIRST STEP.
>> THE RESPONSE, SENDING A 
MESSAGE TO DOMESTIC AUDIENCES TO
SAY THAT DESPITE THE LEADERSHIP,
SHE IS PREPARED TO ACT ON.
>> REPORTER: THE TIMING MATTERS 
FOR PUTIN TO MOVE.
HE MUST CALCULATE RUSH WHY'S 
RESPONSE
WITH ONE EYE ON THE ELECTION.
>> ADRIENNE: THERESA MAY HAS 
OPTIONS WHAT ELSE CAN SHE DO?
>> SHE COULD BOYCOTT THE WORLD 
CUP IN RUSSIA.
SHE COULD RESTRICTED RUSSIAN
TELEVISION IN BRITAIN.
THE KREMLIN SAID IT WOULD EXPEL 
JOURNALISTS IN MOSCOW.
OR
SHE WOULD WORK ON SEIZURE OF 
ASSETS.
THAT COULD COME.
>> ADRIENNE: ALL THE TALKS WERE 
GOING ON AT THE U.N. TODAY.
>> THE AMBASSADOR FROM THE U.S. 
TO THE U.N. HAD THIS TO SAY.
>> IF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT 
STARTS USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS TO
ASSASSINATE ITS ENEMIES, AND IF 
RUSSIA COOPERATED WITH THE 
ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE 
PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS 
BY TURNING OVER ALL INFORMATION
RELATED TO THE NERVE AGENT, WE 
WOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM.
>> ADRIENNE: THAT IS STRIKINGLY 
HARSH.
WHAT ABOUT THE CANADIANS?
>> TRUDEAU SPOKE TO BRITAIN AND 
CHRYSTIA FREELAND'S OFFICE 
ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING THAT 
ALL
STATES SHOULD COOPERATE WITH THE
BRITISH INVESTIGATION.
AND SAID
IT WAS RUSSIA'S LIKELY 
INVOLVEMENT AND CONDEMNED THEM 
FOR THAT.
>> Adrienne: THANK YOU.
>> Ian: TURNING YOUR MOMENT INTO
A MOVEMENT.
THE KIDS OF MARJORY DOUGLAS 
STONE MAN HIGH LED NATIONWIDE 
PROTESTS TODAY.
WE WILL GO TO FLORIDA IN A 
MINUTE.
A LOOK AT THE TENS OF THOUSANDS 
OF TEENAGERS SAYING ENOUGH IS 
ENOUGH.
>> DEMAND COMMON SENSE...
>> NEVER AGAIN.
>> ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...
>> Ian: THE ORGANIZERS HOPED 
3,000
SCHOOLS WOULD TAKE PART, THE 
STUDENTS WALKING OUT FOR 17 
MINUTES.
ONE FOR EACH OF THE 17 PEOPLE 
KILLED AT THE HIGH SCHOOL IN 
FLORIDA EXACTLY ONE MONTH AGO.
>> THE NRA HAS GOT TO GO!
>> Ian: AT COLUMBINE HIGH 
SCHOOL,
HUNDREDS REMEMBERED THEIR OWN 
DEAD.
12 STUDENTS AND A TEACHER KILLED
IN 1999 WHEN SUCH ATTACKS WERE A
RARITY.
STUDENTS IN CANADA WALKED OUT IN
A GESTURE OF
SOLIDARITY.
AND WHERE IT BEGAN IN FLORIDA, 
THEY REMAIN PASSIONATE AND 
DETERMINED.
>> I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW STONE 
-- STONEMAN
MAN DOUGLAS IS THE LAST SCHOOL 
IT HAPPENED TO.
WE WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE.
WE WANT TO BE THE GENERATION 
THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
>> THE PROTESTS ECHOING THE 
WORDS OF
MARJORY STONEMAN...
>> IAN: AT THE SCHOOL NAMED 
AFTER THE LATE 
ENVIRONMENTALIST, THEY
REMEMBERED THE 17 PEOPLE WHO 
WON'T BE COMING BACK.
AND THE LAWMAKERS WHO THE 
STUDENTS FEEL LET THEM DOWN.
MANY OF THE SURVIVORS ARE NOT 
OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE YET.
THEY PROMISE THEY WILL HAVE LONG
MEMORIES.
AS WE LEARNED,
THEY VOWED NOT TO GIVE UP UNTIL 
THEY SEE NEW CHANGE.
-- REAL CHANGE.
>> Reporter: ALWAYS HIS DREAM TO
BE A BROADWAY STAR.
NOW THE DREAM IS A REALITY.
IMPRESSED BY THEIR
THE ACTIVISM, THEY INVITED 
STUDENTS FROM MARJORY STONEMAN 
DOUGLAS TO JOIN THEM IN A 
PERFORMANCE.
IT WAS A NATURAL FIT.
GIVING THEY WERE DRAMA STUDENTS.
>> MY FRIENDS WERE DRAMA PEOPLE.
BUT WE ALWAYS WANTED TO CHANGE 
THE WORLD.
I THINK
THAT IS SOMETHING EVERYBODY 
WISHES FOR.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE IT.
>> REPORTER: THEY ARE TAKING 
CENTER STAGE.
FORCING A RENEWED DEBATE AROUND 
GUN CONTROL IN FLORIDA TO THE 
WHITE HOUSE.
>> WE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER TO 
MAKE SCHOOLS SAFER.
>> REPORTER: THE FLORIDA 
GOVERNOR SIGNED A NEW LAW MAKING
THE MINIMUM AGE TO BUY A FIREARM
TO 21.
A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT GIVEN 
THE HISTORY.
THE STUDENTS WERE NOT SATISFIED.
THEY DON'T WANT TEACHERS ARMED
THEY WANT A BAN ON ASSAULT STYLE
WEAPONS AND TIGHTER BACKGROUND 
CHECKS.
>> President Donald Trump: IN 
THE AFTERMATH OF THE TERRIBLE 
TRAGEDY,
WE ARE TAKING VERY STRONG ACTION
AS YOU KNOW...
>> REPORTER: DONALD TRUMP 
ANNOUNCED HIS GUN CONTROL 
MEASURES EARLIER THIS WEEK.
>> WE KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING SO 
HE COULD SAY HE DID SOMETHING.
THIS IS FLUFF.
>> Reporter: INSPIRING CHANGE HE
LOCAL LEVEL.
THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO BAN GUNS 
ON CITY PROPERTY.
CREATING THEIR OWN GUN 
REGULATIONS.
>> THEY ARE AN INSPIRATION.
AND SHOULD BE AN INSPIRATION TO 
ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO CARES 
ABOUT THE ISSUE.
>> REPORTER: THE STUDENTS ARE 
DETERMINED THAT WHILE THE 
FLOWERS AND MEMORIALS WILL FADE.
THEIR ACTIVISM IS NOT
GOING AWAY.
AFTER THE WALK OUT, THE NEXT 
MAIN EVENT IS A MARCH IN 
WASHINGTON ON THE 24TH.
THEY ARE EXPECTING HALF A 
MILLION PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO 
PRESS FOR STRICTER GUN CONTROL.
>> WE ARE PUSHING EACH OTHER.
IT IS A FAMILY THAT WE KIND OF 
CREATED.
A FAMILY THAT RUNS THE MOVEMENT.
>> Reporter: A MOVEMENT TAKING 
ADVANTAGE OF
EVERY STAGE THEY HAVE.
>> FOR A WHILE I DIDN'T KNOW WHY
I WAS ON
THIS PLANET.
I LIKE TO ACT AND I LIKE TO BE 
AN...
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS 
COMING TO.
I GUESS I FORGOT THAT USING MY 
VOICE IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN 
ALWAYS DO.
I FORGOT THAT THESE PEOPLE USING
THEIR VOICES AND US SPEAKING 
TOGETHER, WE ARE AMAZING.
>> Ian: LAST MONTH A DAY AFTER 
THE SHOOTING, I WENT TO A VIGIL 
IN
PARKLAND AND SPOKE TO SOME OF 
THE STUDENTS INCLUDING A STUDENT
IN GRADE 9 WHO SAID SHE WANTED 
TO TALK ABOUT SEEING HER BEST 
FRIEND ALYSSA WHO WAS SHOT AND 
KILLED IN FRONT OF HER.
>> THE SHOOTER SHOOTS AND THEN 
THE NEXT THING I KNOW, MY BEST 
FRIEND FALLS BACK AND SHE IS 
LIKE STOPS AND SHE IS LIKE 
SCREAMING AND I HEAR SILENCE.
ALL I CAN THINK OF IS LIKE SHE 
DIED.
>> Ian: I WAS CURIOUS HOW SHE IS
DOING ONE MONTH LATER.
I ASKED HER WHAT IT HAS BEEN 
LIKE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.
>> IT IS VERY HARD BECAUSE, YOU 
KNOW, IT ALL COMES BACK TO ME.
WHEN
I SIT IN CLASS, AND LIKE, THE 
KIDS WHO I HAD CLASSES WITH ARE 
NO LONGER THERE.
I MEAN, LIKE IN MY BIOLOGY, I 
SAT BEHIND ALLEN, HE IS NOT 
THERE ANYMORE.
AND GINA WAS IN THAT CLASS TOO.
IT IS SO HARD TO THINK THAT 
THESE KIDS ARE GONE.
YOU THINK THEY ARE ON VACATION.
THEY WERE SHOT AND THEY ARE 
DEAD.
>> IAN: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE 
HOW THE STUDENTS AS A GROUP ARE 
DOING ONE MONTH LATER?
>> RIGHT NOW, IT IS KIND OF JUST
LIKE WE ARE ALL BROKEN.
WE ARE ALL, YOU KNOW, 
TRAUMATIZED AND WE ARE ALL 
GRIEVING, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE 
ALL ADAPTING.
WE ARE ALL A FAMILY.
SOME OF US -- WHEN WE LOOK 
AROUND AND THERE ARE CAMERAS ALL
OVER.
YOU KNOW LIKE WE WANT TO GET THE
STORY OUT THERE AND EVERYTHING, 
FOR US, I KNOW A LOT OF MY 
FRIENDS, THEY JUST WANT TO GO 
BACK TO NORMALCY.
FOR US IT IS SO OUT OF LIKE ANY 
ONE OF US CAN IMAGINE.
WE WANT TO GET BACK ON TRACK AND
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO NOT -- DO 
THE THINGS NORMALLY WE DID 
BEFORE.
>> IAN: HOW LONG DO YOU THINK 
THAT IS GOING TO TAKE?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT, YOU KNOW,
EVERYTHING WILL GO BACK TO 
NORMAL FOR A WHILE.
BUT I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, MAYBE 
IN A FEW WEEKS, IT WILL START TO
DIE DOWN A LITTLE.
I THINK RIGHT NOW, THIS TOPIC IS
THE ONLY CONVERSATIONS I HAVE.
WHEN I TALK TO A FRIEND, IT IS
ONLY ABOUT THE SHOOTING.
DID YOU SEE ALEX...
I DID.
A LOT OF US WANT TO FIGURE OUT.
I THINK THAT IN A FEW WEEKS IT 
WILL START TO NOT BE THE MAIN 
PRIORITY IN
CONVERSATION.
>> IAN: THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING 
WITH US.
>> OF COURSE.
>> Ian: SHE IS 15 YEARS OLD.
THERE IS ANOTHER BIG EVENT 
AHEAD, MARCH 24th, THE
SATURDAY AFTER NEXT, THOUSANDS 
ARE EXPECTED IN WASHINGTON FOR 
WHAT IS CALLED MARCH FOR OUR 
LIVES.
ANDREW, LET'S MOVE ON TO A STORY
THAT AFFECTS CHILDREN IN THE 
COUNTRY.
>> ANDREW: A DIFFERENT WAY.
CBC NEWS HAS LEARNED SOME 
TROUBLING ALLEGATIONS INVOLVING 
A FOSTER CARE OPERATOR IN 
MANITOBA.
THE CORE QUESTION, ARE HIGH RISK
KIDS PROPERLY BEING TAKEN OF.
-- BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
PARTICULARLY IN A SYSTEM WHERE 
ALMOST EVERY SINGLE CHILD IS 
INDIGENOUS.
AS WE ARE SHOWN, GETTING A CLEAR
ANSWER HAS PROVEN TO BE ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE.
>> CHILDREN IN CARE...
>> REPORTER: THE OPPOSITION 
CRITIC FOR CHILD WELFARE.
SHE USED TO BE A CLIENT.
TODAY, THAT MEANT CALLING OUT 
THE MINISTER RESPONSIBLE FOR 
CHILD WELFARE AFTER ALLEGATIONS 
AGAINST A FOSTER CARE OPERATOR.
>> THIS MINISTER STILL HAS NOT 
ANSWERED MY QUESTION.
>> REPORTER: FOR 8 YEARS, 
MANITOBA DAKOTA CHILD AND FAMILY
SERVICES
SENT HIGH NEED CHILDREN TO 
PRIVATE SERVICE PROVIDER CALLED 
SPECIALIZED FOSTER HOMES IN 
BRANDON.
TWO YEARS AGO, IT FELL APART.
THE REASON, NOW CLEAR.
IN COURT FILINGS, THE INDIGENOUS
FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY ALLEGES 
SPECIALIZED FOSTER HOMES LET 
CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE ENGAGE IN
ILLEGAL ACTIVITY AND DO DRUGS...
>> IF THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE 
PROVEN TO BE TRUE, IT IS 
TROUBLING.
>> REPORTER: ALSO TROUBLING TO 
SMITH, THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 
FIVE PROVINCIAL INVESTIGATIONS 
INTO THE FOSTER HOME OPERATOR, 
SINCE 2014.
AND ONE BY THE MANITOBA CHILDREN
ADVOCATE.
YET, NONE OF THE FINDINGS HAVE 
BEEN MADE PUBLIC.
THE FIRST NATION
FAMILY ADVOCATE MORGAN WORRIES 
ABOUT THE PRIVACY AROUND THE 
INVESTIGATION KEEPS THE PUBLIC 
IN THE DARK ABOUT THE PROBLEMS 
IN THE SYSTEM.
>> YOU KNOW I WANT TO BELIEVE 
THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING TO THE 
CHILDREN.
>> REPORTER: SPECIALIZED FOSTER 
HOMES, THE FIRST PRIORITY FOR US
AND THE TEAM HAS BEEN THE SAFETY
AND WELL-BEING OF THE CHILDREN 
WAS SAID.
THE OWNER CONTINUES TO PROVIDE 
OTHER SERVICES FOR VULNERABLE 
KIDS.
INCLUDING TEMPORARY HOMES FOR 
CHILDREN IN CRISIS.
IN FACT,
IT RECEIVED MORE THAN 
1.5 MILLION FROM THE PROVINCE 
LAST YEAR.
WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO THE 
MANITOBA QUESTION PERIOD.
>> WHY IS THE MINISTER 
CONTINUING TO PAY SOMEONE 
ACCUSED OF PUTTING KIDS AT RISK.
>> VULNERABLE CHILDREN IS 
SOMETHING WE TAKE SERIOUSLY.
>> REPORTER: THE MINISTER OF 
FAMILIES PRODUCED THE LETTER AND
TWO YEARS AGO TO THE CHILDRENS 
ADVOCATE, DEMANDING IT LOOK INTO
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE FOSTER 
HOMES.
THE MINISTER SAID THAT RESULTED 
IN RECOMMENDATIONS.
THE REPORT WILL NOT BE MADE 
PUBLIC.
>> ANDREW: ONE MORE THING I WANT
TO SHOW YOU ABOUT THIS.
THERE ARE ABOUT 11,000 CHILDREN 
IN FOSTER CARE RIGHT NOW IN 
MANITOBA.
THAT IS ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT IT 
WAS TEN YEARS AGO.
AND 90% OF THOSE KIDS ARE 
INDIGENOUS.
>>> LET'S LOOK AT WHAT ELSE IS 
ON THE NATIONAL.
A NARROW AND UNLIKELY WIN FOR 
THE DEMOCRATS IN THE 
PENNSYLVANIA SPECIAL ELECTION.
IS THAT A BATTLE FOR DONALD 
TRUMP?
>> IAN: CBC LEARNED HOW BAD 
THINGS ARE INSIDE 24 SUSSEX AND 
HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO FIX IT.
>> ADRIENNE: AND WE CONTINUE OUR
SPECIAL CBC NEWS SERIES ABOUT 
THE WORLD WATER SHORTAGE.
TONIGHT, WE MEET PEOPLE LOOKING 
FOR SOLUTIONS.
>> AN IMPORTANT WIN IN A SPECIAL
ELECTS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
IT WAS A CLOSE ONE.
THEY CAME OUT AHEAD BY 627 
VOTES.
A FRACTION OF 1% OF THE VOTE.
NOW, THE RESULTS ARE NOT
OFFICIAL.
MILITARY AND
OVERSEAS BALLOTS HAVE TO BE 
COUNTED.
IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO CHANGE 
THE RESULT.
AS PAUL HUNTER SHOWS US, IT IS A
BIGGER PICTURE, THE MOMENTUM HAS
REPUBLICANS WORRIED.
>> IT TOOK LONGER THAN WE 
THOUGHT.
WE DID IT.
>> CONNOR LAMB WON A SEAT IN 
CONGRESS, PENDING A RECOUNT.
HE DID IT WHERE 16 MONTHS AGO, 
VOTERS TURNED OUT IN FORCE FOR 
DONALD TRUMP.
AND THE REPUBLICANS.
YOU DID IT.
THE VOTERS TURN OUT NOW WITH 
SECOND THOUGHTS ON TRUMP.
>> I DID VOTE FOR TRUMP.
I DIDN'T SEE WHAT I WANTED TO 
SEE.
I VOTED FOR CONNOR FOR THE 
HONESTY AND INTEGRITY.
>> President Donald Trump: HE IS
A COMPETENT PERSON.
>> Reporter: TRUMP RALLIED 
ALONGSIDE THE REPUBLICAN 
CANDIDATE LAST WEEKEND.
AND THIS IS A DISTRICT THAT SO 
FAVOURS REPUBLICANS, 
PENNSYLVANIA COURT HAS ORDERED 
THE ELECTORAL MAP REDRAWN FOR 
FUTURE ELECTIONS.
BUT SAID REPUBLICANS NOW...
>> IT IS CLEAR NO MATTER WHAT, 
WE HAD A MAJOR HIT.
>> Reporter: ALREADY FELT IN 
ALABAMA WHERE A SCANDAL PLAGUED 
REPUBLICAN, AND THE MESS OF 
OTHER THINGS.
>> THIS IS A TREND FOR SPECIAL 
ELECTIONS.
>> Reporter: AS CBC NEWS SAW, 
EVEN IN STAUNCHLY REPUBLICAN 
TEXAS, THE DEMOCRATS ARE 
WONDERING CAN THEY WIN HERE TOO.
>> WE CAN WIN BIG AND ACHIEVE 
IT.
IT IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE.
IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE
LIKELY.
>> Reporter: IS THIS REALLY 
HAPPENING IN MID-TERMS AS THE 
MID-TERMS LOOM CLOSER.
SOME PROMISE A DEMOCRAT WAVE.
IT IS CLEAR, THE VOTERS ARE FED 
UP WITH THE WAY THE COUNTRY IS 
RUN.
AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE BRACING 
UNDER TRUMP.
>> Andrew: THE MID-TERM 
ELECTIONS, 8 MONTHS FROM NOW.
THE VICTORY IN PENNSYLVANIA IS 
SHORT-LIVED PERHAPS.
IN NOVEMBER, ALL 435 SEATS IN 
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES GO 
RIGHT BACK UP FOR GRABS.
AS THEY ARE EVERY TWO YEARS.
AS PAUL SAID, PENNSYLVANIA AND 
DISTRICT WILL NOT EXIST AS IS.
THE CONGRESSIONAL MAP IS BEING 
REDRAWN.
STILL AHEAD, ARTISTS FROM AROUND
THE WORLD INTRODUCED TO STEPHEN 
HAWKINGS.
>> Andrew: TONIGHT ON "THE 
NATIONAL", ANOTHER WINTER WALLOP

A POWERFUL NOR'EASTER HIT THE 
AREA.
BRINGING SNOW AND HIGH WINDS.
IN NEW BRUNSWICK, ALL SCHOOLS 
WERE CLOSED FOR THE DAY.
THERE ARE WIDESPREAD POWER 
OUTAGES AND DELAYS FOR ANYONE 
TRYING TO GET JUST ABOUT 
ANYWHERE.
>>> SEARCHERS IN MONTREAL 
SCOURED RIVER BANKS NEAR THE 
HOME OF A 10-YEAR-OLD BOY GONE 
MISSING.
HE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN FOR DAYS 
NOW.
EVER SINCE HE LEFT THE HOUSE ON

THE POLICE ARE ASKING ANYONE

WE CAN.
WE WILL NOT REST FOR A SECOND.
WE WILL SPEAK TO AS MANY PEOPLE 
AS WE CAN.
>> Andrew: THE SONS OF A
CANADIAN PROFESSOR WHO DIED LAST
MONTH IN AN IRANIAN PRISON.
THEY FLED THE COUNTRY LAST WEEK.
THEIR MOTHER WAS HELD BACK.
HER PASSPORT CONFISCATED.
THEY HAVE GONE TO THE U.N. IN 
NEW YORK TO MEET WITH THE 
FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER 
FREELAND TO ASK FOR HELP.
THEY BELIEVE THE IRANIAN 
GOVERNMENT IS
TRYING TO INTIMIDATE AND SILENCE
THEIR FAMILY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
TO THEIR FATHER.
>> WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT 
THE WATER CRISIS IN CANADA AND 
AROUND THE WORLD.
IT STARTED IN CAPE TOWN, SOUTH 
AFRICA.
SURROUNDED BY WATER, YET RUNNING
OUT OF WATER.
A SITUATION SO DESPERATE.
THE TECHNOLOGY USED TO DRILL FOR
OIL IS NOW BEING USED FOR FRESH

THE WATER SHE COLLECTS WASHES 
CLOTHES AND DISHES.

USE LEFT OVER WATER ON THE 
PLANTS.
AS FOR SHOWERING, THE PEOPLE

SHOWERS, BATHING OUT OF A BUCKET

WORLD.
IMAGINING IS THE FIRST STEP.
MARGARET EVANS, CBC NEWS, CAPE 
TOWN.
>> ADRIENNE: CAPE TOWN ON THE 
SOUTHERN TIP OF AFRICA IS
THE EXTREME EXAMPLE OF A WATER 
CRISIS.
THE PLANET IS ENDURING WATER 
STRETCHES.
AFRAID OF BEING THE NEXT CAPE 
TOWN.
THE QUESTION IS,
WHO IS GETTING IT RIGHT?
WELL, LET'S LOOK AT SOLUTIONS 
COMING FROM A PLACE WITH ITS OWN
PROBLEM.
RIGHT HERE, SINGAPORE.
POPULATION AROUND 5.5 MILLION.
TECHNICALLY, AN ISLAND.
THE FRESH WATER HAS 
TRADITIONALLY COME ALMOST 
EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE RESERVOIR 
IN MALAYSIA.
WAY UP HERE.
BETWEEN DROUGHT AND THE POLITICS
OF A NEIGHBOUR THAT USES CONTROL
OVER THE RESERVOIR AS LEVERAGE,
SINGAPORE HAD TO GET SMARTER TO 
SURVIVE.
FROM THE MOMENT IT WAS 
ESTABLISHED, BACK IN 1959, 
SINGAPORE KNEW IT HAD A PROBLEM 
AND HAD TO RATION WATER.
ITS RIVERS, CLEANING THEM UP WAS
SMART BUT NOT ENOUGH.
IT HAD TO TURN TO TECHNOLOGY AND
TO A SHIFT IN THINKING.
>> A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION.
>> Adrienne: THEY HAVE BEEN 
TALKING ABOUT WATER IS A VALUE 
AND WASTING IS UNACCEPTABLE.
THERE IS DAILY MONITORING OF 
USAGE AND APPS TO WARN WHEN IT 
GETS TOO HIGH.
>> YOU TOO CAN SAVE WATER AT 
HOME.
>> REPORTER: THERE ARE GADGETS 
FOR MORE AND A COMPLEX SYSTEM.
ON AVERAGE, THEY USE 143 LITRES 
PER PERSON PER DAY.
KEEP IN MIND,
A CANADIAN USES 250 LITRES PER 
PERSON A DAY.
IN JULY, THE COST IS GOING UP.
SINGAPORE PEOPLE WILL PAY 
ROUGHLY $50 A
MONTH FOR USAGE.
AND THE WATER CONSERVATION TAX.
THE TAX ON THE NUMBER OF TOILETS
THEY HAVE AND A TAX TO PAY TO 
CLEAN THE USED WATER.
IT MAY SOUND STRANGE.
TRY OF IT THIS WAY,
SINGAPORE CONSIDERS THE WATER.
ANY DROP IS REUSED.
>> 100% IS TREATED.
SAME QUALITY, SAME AMOUNT.
THE OFFICIAL TERM FOR TREATED 
WATER IS NEW WATER.
THE PLAN IS FOR THE NEW WATER TO
MEET 55% OF SINGAPORE'S DEMAND 
BY 2016.
IT IS A HUGE INVESTMENT TO MAKE 
THAT HAPPEN.
A DEEP TUNNEL SEWAGE SYSTEM 60 
METRES BELOW GROUND.
8,000 KILOMETRES OF DRAINS.
FEEDING INTO RESERVOIRS TO TRY 
TO COLLECT ALL THE RAINWATER.
ALSO INVESTED IS THE PLANTS, BUT
IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND TOO 
ENERGY INTENSIVE.
THERE IS A BOLD NEW PLAN, COPY 
WHAT HAPPENS IN NATURE.
>> DEVELOPING SO THEY CAN TAKE 
WATER USING LESS ENERGY AND 
WATER [INDISCERNIBLE].
>> Adrienne:
SINGAPORE HAS BASICALLY GONE 
FROM A PLACE OF NEED TO ONE 
POSITIONING ITSELF AS THE 
SILICON VALLEY OF WATER.
IT IS EXPORTING TECHNOLOGY AND 
DRAWING INVESTMENT AND STARTING 
TO BOOST THE AMOUNT OF TREATED 
WATER IT SENDS BACK.
TO MALAYSIA.
THE SPECIAL WATER COVERAGE 
CONTINUES WITH DEREK STOFFEL ON 
SUNDAY.
ON "THE NATIONAL."
>> WATER IS NOT GOING TO GET 
BETTER.
>> ADRIENNE: DEREK LOOKS HOW 
ISRAEL AND THE NEIGHBOURS ARE 
PUTTING POLITICS ASIDE TO WORK 
TOGETHER IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S 
DRIEST REGIONS TO CAPTURE EVERY 
DROP OF WATER THEY CAN.
>> Andrew: TONIGHT, THE POLICE 
HAVE A MAN IN CUSTODY AFTER 
MAKING A GRISLY DISCOVERY AT A 
HOME IN AJAX, ONTARIO.
THEY FOUND A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL 
BADLY HURT AND TWO BODIES.
THE TEENAGE BOY AND A 
39-YEAR-OLD MOTHER.
LATER, THE 13-YEAR-OLD DIED IN 
HOSPITAL.
THE POLICE ARE CALLING IT A 
HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION.
THEY BELIEVE THE MAN THEY HAVE 
IN CUSTODY AND THE MOTHER FOUND 
DEAD WERE IN A ROMANTIC 
RELATIONSHIP.
>>> ALSO, NORTH AMERICA RECALLS 
62,000 VEHICLES IN CANADA.
THE PROBLEM IS STEERING WHEELS 
COMING LOOSE ON FORD FUSIONS AND
LINCOLN MK MODELS MADE BETWEEN 
2014 AND 2018.
ACCORDING TO FORD, THE PROBLEM 
CAUSED AT LEAST TWO CRASHES AND 
ONE INJURY.
>>> AND A TEACHER IN CALIFORNIA 
IS PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE 
LEAVE AFTER ACCIDENTALLY FIRING 
A GUN IN CLASS AND INJURING 
THREE STUDENTS.
>> AND I LOOKED DOWN MY SHIRT 
LIKE THAT AND THERE WAS BLOOD ON
MY SHIRT.
>> Andrew: BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT
HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A GUN 
SAFETY LESSON.
THE TEACHER WAS POINTING TO MAKE
SURE IT WAS NOT LOADED AND IT 
WENT OFF.
THE STUDENT WAS TAKEN TO 
HOSPITAL.
>> Ian: AT HOME, THE FEDERAL 
N.D.P. LEADER FACED TOUGH 
QUESTIONS TODAY, THE VIDEO 
SURFACED OF JAGMEET SINGH HAD A 
SIKH INDEPENDENCE RALLY THREE 
YEARS AGO IN SAN FRANCISCO.
HE SAID THE APPEARANCE DOES NOT 
MEAN HE SUPPORTS SEPARATISM OR 
EXTREMISM.
DAVID COCHRANE EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: THE CHANTS MAKE IT 
CLEAR WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.
A CALL FOR AN INDEPENDENT SIKH 
STATE KNOWN AS CALIPHATE.
THE SIGNS CALLED IT A POVERTY 
RALLY.
A POSTER CALLING THE LEADER OF A
VIOLENT SIKH EXTREMIST GROUP A 
SAINT.
THE STAGE WHERE JAGMEET SINGH 
GAVE HIS SPEECH.
>> IF YOU ARE TARGETED BECAUSE 
OF THE WAY YOU LOOK, YOUR 
APPEARANCE, YOUR BELIEFS...
>> REPORTER: THE SPEECH DID NOT 
MENTION CALIPHATE.
IT FOCUSSED ON THE CYCLE OF 
VIOLENCE ON
SIKH EXTREMIST BY THE MILITARY.
SOLDIERS KILLED HUNDREDS OF 
ARMED MILITANTS WHO OCCUPIED THE
GOLDEN TEMPLE.
IN RETALIATION, THE SIKH 
BODYGUARDS ASSASSINATED THE 
INDIAN PRIME MINISTER.
IT WAS FOLLOWED BY ANTI-SIKH 
RIOTS THAT LED TO THE DEATH OF 
THOUSANDS.
>> WE ARE TARGETED AND PEOPLE 
-- OUR PEOPLE
ARE MASSACRED.
A GENOCIDE.
>> Reporter: THE POSTER, THE 
LEADER OF THAT
SIKH EXTREMIST GROUP THAT 
OCCUPIED THE GOLDEN TEMPLE AND 
ALSO MASSACRED HUNDREDS.
IN A STATEMENT, SINGH SAID HE 
WAS AT THE RALLY AS...
TO FOCUS ON HELPING SIKHS MOVE 
THROUGH THE PAIN AND TRAUMA OF 
THE 1984 MASSACRE.
HE DID CONDEMN ALL ACTS OF 
TERRORISM.
BUT HE DID NOT SPECIFICALLY 
DENOUNCE THE EXTREMIST ON THE 
POSTER BEING COMMEMORATED AS A 
SAINT.
IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SINGH 
HAS PARSED CRITICISM OF SIKH 
EXTREMISM.
>> IT IS SOMETHING WE DENOUNCED.
>> Reporter: SINGH CONDEMNED THE
AIR INDIA
BOMBING, THE WORST MASS MURDER 
IN CANADIAN HISTORY.
HE REFUSED TO CONDEMN THE 
MASTERMIND OF THE ATTACK.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHO IS 
RESPONSIBLE.
I THINK WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHO 
IS TRULY RESPONSIBLE.
>> REPORTER: CONCERNS THAT 
CANADA IS SOFT ON SIKH EXTREMISM
DOGGED THE PRIME MINISTER ON HIS
TRIP TO INDIA.
IT IS AN ISSUE FOR THE N.D.P. TO
MANAGE TOO.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> IAN: TONIGHT, THE OFFICIAL 
RESIDENCE OF THE PRIME MINISTER 
IS MAKING HEADLINES.
CBC LEARNED 24 SUSSEX IS IN SUCH
BAD SHAPE, THE ESTIMATED COST TO
FIX IT DOUBLED.
IN THE LAST DECADE.
AS CATHERINE CULLEN REPORTS,
THAT IS IN PART BECAUSE OF WHAT 
IS HIDING BETWEEN THE CEILINGS 
AND THE WALLS.
>> REPORTER: IT WENT FROM FIT 
FOR THE QUEEN...
AND GLOBAL SUPER POWERS.
TO A DRAFTY HOUSE THAT IS THE 
BUTT OF JOKES.
NOW, CBC NEWS LEARNED THAT 24 
SUSSEX ASBESTOS PROBLEM IS WORSE
THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT.
ACCORDING TO AN ENGINEERING 
REPORT OBTAINED THROUGH ACCESS 
TO INFORMATION...
THEY
KNEW ABOUT IT, PIPE 
INSTALLATION, DRYWALL COMPOUND 
AND FLOOR TILES.
THE REPORT SAID THEY CAN'T BE 
LEFT ALONE AS LONG AS THE 
BUILDING IS MAINTAINED.
KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER,...
>> NOW, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE 
EXPOSED TO IT DOES NOT MEAN
YOU WILL DEVELOP AN ASBESTOS 
RELATED DISEASE.
THE LONGER YOU ARE EXPOSED, THE 
POTENTIAL RISK GROWS.
>> REPORTER: FROM GENERATION, 
THE POLITICIANS HAVE MADE SUSSEX
HOME.
IT IS CLEAR,
THEY DID NOT ALL LOVE IT.
LISTEN TO WHAT PEARSON'S WIFE 
THOUGHT.
>> IT WOULD BE MORE PRACTICAL TO
TEAR IT ALL DOWN.
>> REPORTER: A DECADE AGO, THE 
AUDITOR GENERAL SAID REPAIRS 
WOULD COST NEARLY $10 MILLION.
THE DOCUMENT CBC NEWS OBTAINED
MENTIONED MORE FIXES ARE NOW 
NEEDED AT AN ESTIMATED 
$26 MILLION.
AS PRIME MINISTER, JUSTIN 
TRUDEAU REFUSED TO MOVE IN.
AND EARLIER THIS YEAR, HE 
ACKNOWLEDGED TO CBC NEWS THE 
POLITICS OF FIXING UP THE PLACE.
>> PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN 
TRUDEAU: NO PRIME MINISTER 
WANTED TO SPEND A PENNY OF 
TAXPAYER DOLLARS ON UPKEEPING 
THE
HOUSE.
I AM RESIGNED NOT TO NOT LIVE IN
THE HOUSE.
>> REPORTER: HE WANTS A CROWN 
CORPORATION TO MAKE THE 
POLITICALLY TRICKY DECISIONS 
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF 24 SUSSEX.
IN THE MEANTIME, THE HOUSE HE 
GREW UP IS IN IDLE.
-- SITS IDLE.
>> ADRIENNE: STILL AHEAD, 
REMEMBERING STEVEN HAWKING.
WE TAKE YOU TO THE ONLY BUILDING
IN THE WORLD TO BEAR HIS NAME IN
WATERLOO, ONTARIO.
>>
>> Andrew: CAMBRIDGE 
UNIVERSITY'S FLAGS ARE AT 
HALF-MAST WITH STUDENTS LINING 
UP TO PAY TRIBUTE IT ONE OF THE 
MOST GIFTED SCIENTISTS EVER TO 
WANDER THE HALLS.
STEPHEN HAWKING DIED IN THE 
SMALL HOURS OF THIS MORNING, HIS
MARK ON SCIENCE WAS IMPRESSIVE.
HIS MARK ON CULTURE, INDELIBLE.
HE WAS PERHAPS THE ONLY 
MODERN-DAY FIPHYSICIST WITH GLOBAL
RECOGNITION.
A SUPERSTAR.
>> Interpretor: I KNEW FROM THE 
AGE OF 9 OR 10 THAT I WANTED TO 
BE A SCIENTIST.
>> Andrew: SCIENCE WILL REMEMBER
HOW HAWKING HELPED TO DEFINE 
MODERN COSMOLOGY, BLACK HOLES TO
THE BIG BANG.
EVEN MORE REMARKABLE, BRINGING 
THAT TO THE PUBLIC.
HIS 1998 BOOK WAS TRANSLATED TO 
10,000 LANGUAGES.
WHEREVER HE WENT, HE WAS A 
SENSATION.
EARLY ON, HAWKING BECAME A 
LIVING SYMBOL OF THE POWER OF 
GENIUS.
A GARGANTUAN MIND SOARING BEYOND
THE SMALL, FRAGILE BODY, 
TRANSENDING THAT CLICHE WITH 
WHIT AND A CHESHIRE CAT SMILE.
>> MY ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO SELL 
A BOOK THAT WOULD SELL IN 
AIRPORT TURNSTILES, BUT FOR 
THAT, MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT
A NAKED WOMAN ON THE COVER.
I HAVE BEEN WHEELCHAIR-BOUND FOR
ALMOST FOUR DECADES AND THE 
CHANCE TO FLOAT FREE IN ZERO G 
WILL BE WONDERFUL.
>> Andrew: HE PUSHED AGAINST HIS
OWN LIMITS, CALLING FOR HUMANITY
TO TRANSEND ITS LIMITS, 
SUPPORTING SPACE EXPLORATION.
HE NEVER STOPPED WRITING.
>> STEPHEN HAWKING, WORLD'S 
SMARTEST MAN.
>> PROFESSOR HAWKING, IT'S AN 
HONOUR AND A PRIVILEGE TO MEET 
YOU, SIR.
>> I KNOW.
>> Andrew: WHEN HE WAS DIAGNOSED
WITH ALS, DOCTORS SAID HE WOULD 
NOT LIVE PAST 25.
HAWKING DIED PEACEFULLY AT HOME 
AT THE AGE OF 76.
AMONG HIS MANY MEMORABLE WORDS, 
"IT WOULD NOT BE MUCH OF A 
UNIVERSE IF IT WASN'T HOME TO 
THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE."
>> Ian: HAWKING GENERALLY DIDN'T
WANT PEOPLE TO NAME THINGS AFTER
HIM, BUT HE MADE AN EXCEPTION 
FOR ONE BUILDING AND IT HAPPENS 
TO BE IN CANADA.
RON CHARLES WENT THERE TODAY TO 
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THAT SPECIAL
RELATIONSHIP.
>> Reporter: STEPHEN HAWKING 
LOOMS LARGE AT THE PERIMETER 
INSTITUTE.
BEFORE NEIL TUREK BECAME THE 
INSTITUTE'S DIRECTOR, HE WAS A 
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY COLLEAGUE 
OF HAWKING'S, WHICH IS HOW HE 
CONVINCED HAWKING TO LEND HIS 
SUPPORT AND HIS NAME.
>> STEPHEN WAS THE FIRST PERSON 
TO ACCEPT A VISITING RESEARCH 
CHAIR.
THAT SET THE STANDARD.
>> Reporter: BACK AT CAMBRIDGE 
UNIVERSITY IN THE 1980s, 
CANADIAN RAYMOND LAFLAMME WAS A 
POST-GRADUATE.
TODAY HE HEADS-UP RESEARCH AT 
UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO.
>> WORKING WITH STEPHEN WAS 
MOTIVATING.
HE CHALLENGE THE THE STUDENTS TO
WORK AND THINK DEEPLY.
>> Reporter: HAWKING'S 
RELATIONSHIP TO CANADA WAS NOT 
SOLELY THROUGH THE PERIMETER 
INSTITUTE.
>> MORE THAN LEAVING A VOID, HE 
LEAVES AN INSPIRATION THAT WILL 
STAY AROUND FOR CENTURIES.
IT'S NO EXAGGERATION.
>> Reporter: A WING HAD ALREADY 
BEEN NAMED IN HACKING'S  -- 
HAWKING'S HONOUR.
THE ONLY BUILDING IN THE WORLD 
HE ALLOWED TO BEAR HIS NAME.
RON CHARLES, CBC NEWS, WATERLOO,
ONTARIO.
>> Adrienne: HAWKING'S DEATH 
BROUGHT OUT A MYRIAD OF 
TRIBUTES.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE 
ILLUSTRATIONS QUICK TO MAKE 
THEIR WAY ON-LINE, HIGHLIGHTING 
HAWKING'S UNIVERSE AS THEY SAY 
IT.
WE CAUGHT UP WITH TWO ARTISTS 
AND ASKED THEM HOW HAWKING 
INFLUENCED THEIR LIFE AND WORK.
THIS IS OUR "MOMENT OF THE DAY."
>> IT'S NOT ABOUT PHYSICALITY.
IT'S PERSONALITY.
HIS MIND.
HIS WAY OF THINKING.
STEPHEN HAWKING WAS A HUGE, HUGE
INSPIRATION TO ME AND MY 
CHILDHOOD HERO.
I WAS INTERESTED IN SPACE, 
GALAXY, PLANETS AND STEPHEN 
HELPS ME TO UNDERSTAND IT, 
UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE 
REALITY.
AND THIS IS MY ILLUSTRATION FOR 
HIM.
I DO NOT SHOW HIS WHEELCHAIR.
HE WAS THE BIGGEST THINKER EVER.
>> STEPHEN HAWKING WAS SOMEONE 
THAT LIVED UNTETHERED BY THE 
RULES OF REALITY.
HE LIVED IN DEFIANCE OF WHAT WE 
THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE.
>> Andrew: ONE THING I WILL ADD,
BECAUSE THE ONE ILLUSTRATOR 
TALKED ABOUT NOT WANTING TO SHOW
HIS WHEELCHAIR.
HAWKING IN MANY INTERVIEWS 
TALKED ABOUT HOW HE DIDN'T SEE 
THE WHEELCHAIR OR HIS CONDITION 
AS LIMITING AT ALL.
HE PURSUED EVERYTHING IN LIFE 
THAT HE THOUGHT WAS WORTH 
PURSUING, WHEELCHAIR OR NOT.
>> Adrienne: IN SOME WAYS, IT 
MADE HIM WINGS.
EVERYONE IS NOTING ON-LINE THAT 
THERE IS SOME SYMMETRY IN THE 
DATE OF HIS DEATH.
HE DIED ON EINSTEIN'S BIRTHDAY 
AND ON PI DAY.
>> Ian: AND SPEAKING OF ON-LINE,
I WOKE UP TO SO MANY SOCIAL 
MEDIA MESSAGES, NOT FROM 
SCIENTISTS OR DIPLOMATS, BUT 
FRIENDS OF MINE THAT WERE MOVED 
BY HIS LIFE AND HIS DEATH.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR MARCH 
14.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
