>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
ANDREW IS OFF TONIGHT.
>>> UNREST IN WISCONSIN TURNS
DEADLY.
TWO PEOPLE KILLED, AN ARMED
TEENAGER ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
AS KENOSHA RAGES OVER THE POLICE
SHOOTING OF A BLACK MAN, A
RECKONING OVER RACE TAKES HOLD
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
>>> TORONTO POLICE ARE CLEARED
IN THE DEATH OF A BLACK WOMAN
THAT SPARKED PROTESTS ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY.
>> WE'RE ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED
WITH THE OUTCOME.
JUSTICE WASN'T SERVED TODAY.
>> Adrienne: THE STORM IS
BEING CALLED UNSURVIVABLE.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ARE NOW
TRYING TO FLEE IN THE MIDDLE OF
A PANDEMIC.
>> WE GOT TURNED DOWN FOR
BUSES BECAUSE MY MOTHER HAS
CORONA.
>> Adrienne: OTTAWA GIVES THE
PROVINCES $2 BILLION FOR BACK TO
SCHOOL.
>> WE NEED TO SEE REDUCED CLASS
SIZES.
>> Adrienne: SO IS IT ENOUGH?
AND DEALING WITH AN OUTBREAK IN
THE CLASSROOM.
>> WE HAVE THE SAFEST AND THE
MOST CAUTIOUS PLAN IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY.
>> Adrienne: WHAT IT WOULD
TAKE TO SHUT A WHOLE SCHOOL
DOWN.
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>>> THREE DAYS AFTER THE POLICE
SHOOTING OF A BLACK MAN, JACOB
BLAKE, THERE ARE COMPETING CALLS
FOR CALM AND PROTESTS IN
WISCONSIN THIS EVENING AFTER THE
DEADLY VIOLENCE ON THE STREETS
OVERNIGHT.
>> WE HAVE A COMMUNITY TODAY
THAT IS LITERALLY ON FIRE.
SET ON FIRE BY THE DEEP
DIVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN FUELLED
BY A NUMBER OF FORCES THAT ARE
BROUGHT TO BEAR IN THIS CASE,
RIGHT?
>> Adrienne: THE QUESTION
TONIGHT IS WHETHER THOSE
DIVISIONS WILL ERUPT AGAIN,
DESPITE AN IMPOSED EARLIER
CURFEW PUT IN PLACE TO PREVENT
THE VIOLENCE BETWEEN PROTESTERS
AND ARMED CITIZENS.
AND AS AUTHORITIES TRY TO
CONTAIN THOSE TENSIONS, PROTESTS
ARE SPREADING WELL BEYOND THE
SMALL CITY OF KENOSHA, EVEN
REACHING THE WORLD OF PRO
SPORTS, LED BY
NBA PLAYERS, TEAMS BOYCOTTING
PLAYOFF GAMES IN SOLIDARITY WITH
THE BLAKE FAMILY.
LATE TONIGHT THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE ANNOUNCED IT IS OPENING
UP A CIVIL RIGHTS
INVESTIGATION INTO JACOB BLAKE'S
SHOOTING.
BUT LET'S BEGIN IN WISCONSIN,
WHERE OVERNIGHT TWO PEOPLE WERE
KILLED AND A THIRD INJURED.
WE'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE
YOUNG MAN WHO WIELDED AN ASSAULT
RIFLE IN THE CHAOS LAST NIGHT.
AND ABOUT THE SHOOTING OF BLAKE
THAT SPARKED ALL OF THIS UNREST.
SUSAN ORMISTON LEADS OUR
COVERAGE TONIGHT.
>> Reporter: ONE QUESTION
ANSWERED FINALLY -- WHY WERE
POLICE CALLED OUT LAST SUNDAY?
>> AFTER A FEMALE CALLER
REPORTED THAT HER BOYFRIEND WAS
PRESENT AND WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO
BE ON THE PREMISES.
DURING THE INCIDENT THE OFFICERS
ATTEMPTED TO ARREST JACOB S.
BLAKE, AGED 29.
>> Reporter: BLAKE DID NOT
HAVE A GUN, BUT AS HE LEANED
INTO HIS CAR, OFFICER RUSTEN
SHESKEY
SHOT HIM
SEVEN TIMES IN THE BACK,
SETTING OFF NIGHTS OF
VIOLENCE.
A YOUNG WHITE MAN CARRYING A
SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE LAST NIGHT,
CHASES DOWN THE STREET, STUMBLES
AND FALLS AND THEN SHOOTS.
A MAN GOES DOWN.
THE SHOOTER ESCAPES, WITH THE
NATIONAL GUARD ROARING TO THE
SCENE.
>> SOMEONE IS INJURED AHEAD.
>> Reporter: KYLE RITTENHOUSE
IS NOW UNDER ARREST.
HE'S JUST 17, A LIFEGUARD FROM
ILLINOIS.
HIS FACEBOOK PAGE, NOW DELETED,
PRAISED POLICE
AND REFERENCED BLUE LIVES
MATTER.
BUZZFEED SAYS THAT HE WAS FRONT
ROW AT A TRUMP RALLY IN JANUARY
AND POSTED ABOUT IT.
HE'S THE GUY IN THE BALLCAP WITH
THE GUN SEEN HERE WITH A GROUP
OF VIGILANTES IN KENOSHA LAST
NIGHT.
>> THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME
THAT I SAW HIM.
>> Reporter: BRENDAN SAW THEM
SEVERAL TIMES.
>> PEOPLE WOULD ASK THEM WHAT
GROUP ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU
OUT HERE FOR, AND THEY SAID
WE'RE
NOT ANYBODY'S FRIEND.
WE'RE JUST HERE TO PROTECT THE
CITY.
>> Reporter: A LOCAL GROUP,
THE KENOSHA GUARD, INVITED
PEOPLE TO JOIN THEM.
>> COME, WEAR YOUR BLACK
OUTFITS, WEAR BLACK MASKS AND
BRING YOUR BACKPACKS.
>> Reporter: THE SHERIFF SAID
THAT HE WAS BEING PRESSURED.
>> YESTERDAY I HAD A PERSON CALL
ME AND SAY WHY DON'T YOU
DEPUTIZE CITIZENS WHO HAVE GUNS
TO COME OUT AND TO PATROL THE
CITY OF KENOSHA.
AND I AM LIKE, OH, HELL NO.
AND WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND
I THINK THAT CHIEF MISKINIS IS
GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT, IS
PROBABLY THE PERFECT REASON THAT
I WOULDN'T.
>> Reporter: BUT IN VIDEO
EXPLODING ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
WISCONSIN'S NATIONAL GUARD HANDS
OUT WATER TO THE MALITIA AND
THANKS THEM.
>> WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS, WE
REALLY DO.
>> Reporter: HOURS LATER,
ANTHONY HOOVER,
26, IS DEAD HOURS LATER.
THE GOVERNOR HAS CALLED IN MORE
NATIONAL GUARD, DOUBLING THE
FORCE, AS
KENOSHA BRACES, AND CAUGHT UP IN
MORE RAGE OVER ANOTHER POLICE
SHOOTING.
>> THE UNDERLINING MESSAGE IS
ABOUT RACIAL TENSION AND POLICE
VIOLENCE.
WHEN THINGS BECOME VIOLENT THAT
MESSAGE IS LOST.
>> Reporter: APPEALS FOR CALM
ARE BEING ANSWERED BY MANY, BUT
NOT EVERYONE ON ALL SIDES.
SUSAN ORMISTON, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: THE VIOLENCE IN
WISCONSIN LOOMS LARGE OVER THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
WHICH IS NOW IN ITS THIRD NIGHT.
DELIVERING A MESSAGE THAT IS
ALREADY PLAYING A BIG ROLE --
LAW AND ORDER.
THE SAME MESSAGE THAT DONALD
TRUMP CAMPAIGNED ON FOUR YEARS
AGO.
PAUL HUNTER EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: WITH FENCING
GOING UP AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE
AGAIN TODAY, AMID WORRIES THAT
DEMONSTRATIONS PLANNED FOR
FRIDAY COULD GET OUT OF HAND
AGAIN, THE VIOLENCE THAT HAS
SHAKEN WISCONSIN MAY BE A
THOUSAND KILOMETRES AWAY, BUT IN
A SENSE IT'S FRONT AND CENTRE AS
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION HOLDS EVENTS IN THE
U.S. CAPITAL.
CONSIDER SOME OF WHAT'S BEEN
EMPHASIZED HERE THIS WEEK.
>> SO DEFUNDING THE POLICE IS
NOT AN OPTION.
EVERYTHING STARTS WITH SAFETY
AND SECURITY.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE LAW
AND ORDER PRESIDENT.
>> AND WE'LL ALWAYS SUPPORT LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND YOUR RIGHT TO
KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
>> Reporter: IT'S BEEN CLEAR
REPUBLICANS WANT TO UNDERLINE
IF AMERICANS WANT TO FIND A
WAY PAST THREATS OF VIOLENCE,
REAL OR PERCEIVED, THE ONLY
ANSWER IS TRUMP.
EVEN THAT COUPLE FROM ST. LOUIS
WHO WAVED THEIR GUNS AT BLACK
LIVES MATTER DEMONSTRATORS
MARCHING
PEACEFULLY LAST MONTH WERE GIVEN
SCREEN TIME AT THE CONVENTION
AND ON MESSAGE.
>> NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE YOUR
FAMILY WILL NOT BE SAFE IN THE
RADICAL DEMOCRATS' AMERICA.
>> Reporter: BUT AS
REPUBLICANS WAIT TO HEAR FROM
DONALD TRUMP TOMORROW NIGHT,
CONSIDER THE SUMMER OF 2016 WHEN
U.S. STREETS THEN SAW
DEMONSTRATIONS AFTER THE
SHOOTINGS OF BLACK AMERICANS AND
VIOLENCE IN TURN AGAINST POLICE.
>> THERE CAN BE NO PROSPERITY
WITHOUT LAW AND ORDER.
>> Reporter: ONLY HE SAID THEN
CANDIDATE TRUMP, CAN TURN THAT
AROUND.
>> ANY POLITICIAN WHO DOES NOT
GRASP THIS DANGER IS NOT FIT TO
LEAD OUR COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: NOW FOUR YEARS
INTO HIS PRESIDENCY, LITTLE HAS
CHANGED IN TRUMP'S TONE, NOR ON
U.S. STREETS.
>> IS THIS WHAT WE WANT AMERICA
TO BE?
IS THIS THE COUNTRY THAT WE
SHOULD BE?
>> Reporter: JOE BIDEN, WHO
HAS PLEDGED TO REFORM U.S.
POLICING, TODAY RELEASED THIS
VIDEO.
HIS MESSAGE FOCUSED ON WHAT HE
TOLD THE FAMILY OF JACOB BLAKE
IN WISCONSIN.
>> I TOLD THEM JUSTICE MUST AND
WILL BE DONE.
>> Adrienne: SO, PAUL, TONIGHT
THE HEADLINER WAS VICE PRESIDENT
MIKE PENCE.
WHAT DID HE HAVE TO SAY ON THIS?
>> Reporter: WELL, IT WAS MORE
THAN 20 MINUTES INTO HIS SPEECH
BUT WHEN HE GOT TO IT MIKE
PENCE, YOU KNOW, ECHOED THE
MESSAGE THAT WE HAVE HEARD ALL
WEEK AT THE CONVENTION -- THAT
DONALD TRUMP IS
THE ONLY WAY FORWARD FOR THIS
COUNTRY IF VOTERS HERE WANT TO
GUARANTEE, YOU KNOW, SAFETY AND
SECURITY AMID AS PENCE PUT IT,
THE RIOTING AND THE LOOTING.
HERE'S A CLIP.
>> THE VIOLENCE MUST STOP.
WHETHER IN MINNEAPOLIS, PORTLAND
OR KENOSHA.
TOO MANY HEROS HAVE DIED
DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM TO SEE
AMERICANS STRIKE EACH OTHER
DOWN.
WE WILL HAVE LAW AND ORDER ON
THE STREETS OF THIS COUNTRY FOR
EVERY AMERICAN OF EVERY RACE AND
CREED AND COLOUR.
[Cheers and Applause]
>> Reporter: AND, AGAIN, THIS
IS ALL IN THE SHADOW OF WHAT IS
PLAYING OUT IN WISCONSIN
TONIGHT.
YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE A POWERFUL
MESSAGE FOR VOTERS, ADRIENNE,
AND ESPECIALLY AS IT IS TONIGHT
IN A STATE THAT IS ABSOLUTELY A
BATTLEGROUND, PERHAPS A DIVISIVE
BATTLE GROUND COME NOVEMBER.
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT,
PAUL HUNTER IN WASHINGTON
TONIGHT.
>> ATHLETES FROM MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL AND SOCCER, WILL NOT
STAND AGAINST SYSTEMIC RACISM.
DEVIN HEROUX HAS THAT STORY.
>> WE ARE BEING TOLD NOW HERE
THAT THE BUCKS HAVE BOYCOTTED
THIS GAME.
>> Reporter: AN UNPRECEDENTED
MOMENT IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS.
FIRST, THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS NOT
TAKING TO THE COURT FOR THEIR
GAME.
AND THEN THE REST FOLLOW.
>> WE'RE CALLING FOR JUSTICE FOR
JACOB BLAKE AND DEMAND THE
OFFICERS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
>> Reporter: THE BREAKING
POINT -- THE SHOOTING OF JACOB
BLAKE.
>> WE'RE THE ONES GETTING
KILLED.
WE'RE THE ONES GETTING SHOT.
ALL YOU DO IS KEEP HEARING OUR
FEAR.
IT'S AMAZING.
WHY WE KEEP LOVING THIS COUNTRY
AND THIS COUNTRY DOES NOT LOVE
US BACK.
>> Reporter: EVERY NBA PLAYOFF
GAME BOYCOTT THE AS
OUTRAGE SPREAD ACROSS THE
LEAGUE.
SOME OF THE BIGGEST VOICES IN
THE GAME LETTING THEIR
THOUGHTS BE KNOWN, AND IT'S
NOW SPREADING BEYOND BASKETBALL.
A NUMBER OF MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL GAMES ALSO BOYCOTTED.
>> RACISM HAS BEEN EMBEDDED IN
OUR SOCIETY.
>> Reporter: AND BEFORE
TONIGHT'S NHL PLAYOFF
GAME BETWEEN BOSTON AND TAMPA
BAY, A MOMENT OF REFLECTION.
>> THERE'S ALWAYS TIME IN
EVERYONE'S LIFE WHEN YOU HAVE TO
STAND UP AND YOU RAISE YOUR HAND
AND BE ACCOUNTED FOR.
YOU CAN'T STAND IN THE BACK AND
BE SILENT.
YOU CAN'T HOPE AND WISH THAT
THIS GOES AWAY.
>> Reporter: THE DEFENDING
CHAMPION, THE TORONTO RAPTORS,
THE FIRST TO SUGGEST THAT THIS
WAS COMING.
>> I HAD A COUPLE OF REALLY DEEP
HEARTFELT DISCUSSIONS WITH A FEW
OF THESE GUYS HERE THIS MORNING.
YOU KNOW, ABOUT PLAYING, NOT
PLAYING --
BEING IN THE BUBBLE, LEAVING THE
BUBBLE, COMING INTO THE BUBBLE.
>> I THINK THAT THINGS HAPPEN
FOR A REASON.
BUT DEFINITELY THINGS LIKE THAT
HAPPENING MAKE ME FRUSTRATED,
YOU KNOW.
IT MAKES ME
QUESTION MY DECISION AND MAKES
ME QUESTION IF IT WAS THE RIGHT
DECISION OR, YOU KNOW, ARE WE
REALLY MAKING A CHANGE.
>> Reporter: THAT IS THE
QUESTION DEBATED IN TONIGHT'S
PLAYERS' ONLY MEETING.
DEVIN HEROUX, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: AND ALL THREE
WNBA GAMES HAVE BEEN POSTPONED
TONIGHT AS PROTESTS SPREAD
ACROSS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL.
ONE TEAM LITERALLY WEARING THAT
MESSAGE.
THE WASHINGTON MYSTICS ARRIVED
IN SPECIAL WHITE T-SHIRTS
EARLIER TONIGHT, EACH WITH ONE
LETTER SPELLING OUT JACOB BLAKE.
EVEN MORE POWERFUL -- THE BACK
OF THOSE SHIRTS.
EACH RIDDLED WITH SEVEN HOLES
SYMBOLIZING THE NUMBER OF TIMES
BLAKE WAS SHOT AT.
>>> HERE IN CANADA, THE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE DEATH OF
A BLACK WOMAN THAT SPARKED
OUTRAGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WRAPPED UP TODAY.
REGIS KORCHINSKI-PAQUET FELL TO
HER DEATH FROM AN APARTMENT
BALCONY AFTER A CONFRONTATION
WITH TORONTO POLICE BACK IN MAY.
WELL, TODAY ONTARIO'S POLICE
WATCHDOG CLEARED THE OFFICERS
INVOLVED OF CRIMINAL WRONGDOING.
MARK KELLEY HAS THE FURIOUS
REACTION FROM HER FAMILY.
>> Reporter: THE FAMILY OF
REGIS KORCHINSKI-PAQUET AND
THEIR LEGAL TEAM SPENT MORE THAN
2 1/2 HOURS WITH THE S.I.U.
INVESTIGATORS PORING OVER THEIR
REPORT.
THE FAMILY THEN EMERGED AFTER
LEARNING ALL SIX TORONTO POLICE
OFFICERS WERE CLEARED OF ANY
WRONGDOING.
>> WE'RE ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED
WITH THE OUTCOME.
PEOPLE ARE HIDING THINGS AND
THAT'S HONESTLY MY TRUE BELIEF.
>> Reporter: AT ISSUE IS WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER POLICE ARRIVED,
ANSWERING MULTIPLE 911 CALLS
AFTER A FIGHT BETWEEN REGIS AND
HER BROTHER.
WHEN POLICE SHOWED UP AT THE
24th FLOOR APARTMENT, REGIS
WAS IN THE HALLWAY DEEPLY
DISTRESSED.
SHE ASKED TO USE THE WASHROOM
INSIDE THE FAMILY'S APARTMENT.
SHE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY SEVERAL
OFFICERS.
MINUTES LATER SHE WAS SEEN ALONE
ON THE BALCONY.
THE REPORT CLAIMS SHE SLIPPED
WHILE TRYING TO CLIMB TO THE
NEIGHBOUR'S BALCONY.
BUT REGIS' MOTHER CLAUDIA
CLAYTON-BEALS BLAMED POLICE.
>> POLICE KILLED MY DAUGHTER,
CAME IN MY APARTMENT AND SHOVED
HER OFF THE BALCONY.
>> Reporter: HER DEATH SPARKED
PEACEFUL PROTESTS IN TORONTO,
ALL PART OF A WIDESPREAD
MOVEMENT ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
DENOUNCING POLICE VIOLENCE
AGAINST RACIALIZED COMMUNITIES.
KORCHINSKI-PAQUET WAS AN
AFRO-INDIGENOUS WOMAN.
S.I.U. DIRECTOR JOSEPH MARTINO
FOCUSED ON THE SPECIFIC
ALLEGATION AGAINST THE POLICE.
>> THERE WERE ALLEGATIONS IN
THE WAKE OF MISS
KORCHINSKI-PAQUET'S DEATH THAT
SHE WAS PUSHED OFF THE BALCONY
BY POLICE.
THE EVIDENCE ESTABLISHES THAT
THIS DID NOT OCCUR.
>> Reporter: BUT REGIS'
BROTHER SAYS THAT THE
HEAVY-HANDED POLICE PRESENCE
PROMPTED HER DEATH.
>> THE DECISION IS BULLSHIT,
STRAIGHT UP, IT'S BULLSHIT, BUT
IT'S WHAT THEY CAME BACK AND
SAID.
>> Reporter: THE FAMILY'S
LEGAL TEAM REMAINS CONVINCED
THAT POLICE FAILED TO PROVIDE
DUTY OF
CARE TO THE 29-YEAR-OLD WOMAN.
AND THEY CONTINUE TO EXPLORE ALL
LEGAL OPTIONS, BOTH CIVIL AND
CRIMINAL, TO ACHIEVE WHAT
THEY'VE SOUGHT ALL ALONG --
JUSTICE FOR REGIS.
MARK KELLEY, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: TO COVID-19 NOW
AND THE EVER INCREASING
ANXIETIES OF PARENTS, TEACHERS
AND OFFICIALS OVER THE SAFE
REOPENING OF SCHOOLS.
WELL, THAT IS A PROVINCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY, AND TODAY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED UP
TO $2 BILLION TO HELP OUT.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT RESOURCES WEREN'T AN OVERLY
LIMITING FACTOR IN DOING THINGS
TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE.
>> Adrienne: THE MONEY WILL BE
ALLOCATED BASED ON THE NUMBER OF
SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN IN EACH
PROVINCE OR TERRITORY.
THEY CAN DECIDE HOW BEST TO USE
IT SO LONG AS IT'S TOWARD SCHOOL
SAFETY.
HALF OF THE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE
NOW AND THE OTHER HALF EARLY
NEXT YEAR.
BUT RECEIVING THAT SECOND CHUNK
DEPENDS ON SHOWING HOW THE FIRST
CHEQUE WAS SPENT.
WHICH RAISES THE QUESTION FOR
PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES AND
THEIR SCHOOL BOARDS -- WHAT ARE
THEIR GREATEST NEEDS?
NOT SURPRISINGLY THE ANSWER
VARIES FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON TAKES A
LOOK.
>> Reporter: THEY'RE NORMALLY
FOR FUN AND IMAGINATION, BUT
TODAY CHALK DRAWINGS ARE A
SYMBOL OF PROTEST.
>> I'M WORRIED, AND I HOPE THAT
THE CLASS SIZES CAN BE SMALLER.
>> SO WE NEED TO SEE REDUCED
CLASS SIZES.
WE NEED TO SEE IMPROVED
VENTILATION STANDARDS IN OUR
SCHOOLS.
AND WE NEED TO SEE THE FUNDING
TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
>> Reporter: EVEN WITH TODAY'S
FEDERAL ANNOUNCEMENT, SOME OF
THE UNCERTAINTY WILL STILL
REMAIN, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE.
HOW, WHERE AND WHEN THE
PROVINCES WILL ALLOCATE THIS
MONEY AMONG THE INDIVIDUAL
SCHOOL BOARDS HAS YET TO BE
DETERMINED.
CLASS SIZE IS KEY IN
SASKATCHEWAN AND MANY OTHER
PROVINCES, BUT THERE ARE OTHER
PRIORITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
>> NEW FUNDING PROVIDED
PROVINCIALLY FOR 1.5 MILLION
NON-MEDICAL MASKS AND
ADDITIONAL
HANDWASHING STATIONS AND
PHYSICAL BARRIERS AND CLEANING
SUPPLIES AS WELL AS HIRING MORE
CUSTODIANS.
>> ADAPTATION OF LEARNING
SPACES, IMPROVING AIR SYSTEMS IN
SCHOOLS, INCREASED HAND
SANITIZATION, HYGIENE AND
TESTING.
>> Reporter: NEWFOUNDLAND IS
ALSO AMONG MANY PROVINCES WHERE
STUDENTS AND PARENTS RELY
HEAVILY ON SCHOOL BUSES.
THAT IS CERTAINLY TRUE IN
QUÉBEC.
>> THE HEALTH REQUIREMENTS HAVE
REDUCED THE CAPACITY IN OUR
BUSES, SO WE CAN'T MOVE AS MANY
KIDS AS WE USED TO.
SO WE NEED MORE BUSES AND WE
NEED MORE BUS DRIVERS.
>> Reporter: IF THE NEEDS ARE
CLEAR, WHAT MOST PEOPLE NEED TO
KNOW NOW IS WHEN IS THE MONEY
COMING?
>> IF THE PROVINCE DOESN'T MAKE
SURE THAT THE SCHOOL BOARDS CAN
ACCESS THAT CASH AND PUT IT TO
WORK AS FAST AS POSSIBLE FOR THE
SAFETY OF OUR KIDS AND OUR
TEACHERS AND OUR COMMUNITIES,
THEN THAT WOULD BE THE BIGGEST
FAILURE OF ALL.
>> Reporter: A CONCERN FELT IN
MANY PROVINCES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
SCHOOLS IN SOME PLACES ARE
SUPPOSED TO OPEN AS EARLY AS
NEXT WEEK.
DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: NEWFOUNDLAND AND
LABRADOR'S ENGLISH SCHOOL
DISTRICT IS HIRING MORE STAFF AS
IT PREPARES TO WELCOME BACK
STUDENTS NEXT MONTH.
SO THAT INCLUDES 25 MORE
CUSTODIANS WHO WILL WORK LONGER
HOURS AND 25 MORE GUIDANCE
COUNSELLORS.
IT'S ALSO ADDING ADMINISTRATIVE
POSITIONS.
THIS WILL ALL BE FUNDED BY THE
FEDERAL SUPPORT ANNOUNCED TODAY.
THE PROVINCE IS GETTING
$26 MILLION.
>>> AND ALL 60 OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA'S SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE
NOW RELEASED THEIR
BACK-TO-SCHOOL PLANS.
MANY ARE MOVING TO A QUARTERLY
SYSTEM.
TEACHING STUDENTS FEWER SUBJECTS
A DAY FOR BLOCKS OF TIME.
SOME LARGE SECONDARY SCHOOLS
WILL ALSO OFFER A BLEND OF
IN-CLASS AND DISTANCE LEARNING.
STUDENT ORIENTATION STARTS
SEPTEMBER 10th.
SO BEYOND CLASS SIZES AND ONLINE
LEARNING, A BIG CONCERN FOR MANY
PARENTS IS WHAT IF A STUDENT
TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19?
ONTARIO RELEASED ITS PLAN FOR
THAT TODAY.
CHRISTINE BIRAK TAKES US THROUGH
THE DETAILS.
>> GET IN.
>> Reporter: FOR MOST THREATS,
SCHOOLS HAVE PROCEDURES.
STUDENTS GO INSIDE CLASSROOMS
AND EVERYTHING IS LOCKED SHUT
AND PARENTS RECEIVE ALERTS.
BUT MANY AREN'T SURE WHAT
HAPPENS IF THERE'S A COVID-19
OUTBREAK AT THEIR SCHOOL.
>> WE HAVE THE SAFEST AND THE
MOST CAUTIOUS PLAN IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: ONTARIO'S PLAN TO
DEFINE AN OUTBREAK IS TWO OR
MORE
LAB CONFIRMED CASES IN A SCHOOL
THAT ARE LINKED.
WHEN STUDENTS OR STAFF TEST
POSITIVE, LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH
UNITS DO CONTACT TRACING AND
DECIDE IF ENTIRE CLASSES OR
GROUPS SHOULD BE SENT HOME OR IF
THE SCHOOL SHOULD BE CLOSED
ENTIRELY.
IF A CHILD IS SENT HOME WITH
POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS, IT'S
RECOMMENDED THAT THEY GO SEE A
DOCTOR.
BUT NOT REQUIRED.
IF PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMS THE
SCHOOL OF A POSITIVE CASE, IT
MUST BE POSTED ON TO A WEB PAGE.
BUT NO PROOF OF A NEGATIVE TEST
RESULT IS REQUIRED FOR ANYONE
GOING BACK TO CLASS.
>> IT MAY BE AN EAR INFECTION.
THEY MAY HAVE A HISTORY OF THAT.
SO WE WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO
THE FACT THAT CHILDREN DON'T
ALWAYS GET SICK FROM COVID.
>> Reporter: SOME PARENTS SAY
THAT THE PLAN DOESN'T SET OUT
CLEAR RULES.
>> I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT
THEY'VE PUT INTO PLACE SO FAR IS
STILL VERY GREY AND, AGAIN, WITH
ALL OF THE, YOU KNOW, PARENTS
ARE SUGGESTED -- IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED -- THAT SAYS TO ME
THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE A
CHOICE.
>> Reporter: IN GERMANY,
STUDENTS WENT BACK TO CLASS
WEEKS AGO.
THERE HAVE BEEN INFECTIONS, BUT
NO MAJOR OUTBREAKS.
MANY CREDIT QUICK TESTING,
CONTACT TRACING AND MANAGING
COMMUNITY SPREAD.
BUT SOME DOCTORS WARN THERE'S
ALWAYS RISKS.
>> WE SHOULD EXPECT CASES.
WE SHOULD EXPECT MAYBE A COUPLE
OF CLASSES TO BE PUT ONLINE FOR
A WEEK OR TWO AS INVESTIGATIONS
OCCUR.
THAT SHOULD NOT CAUSE PANIC.
>> Reporter: HE ADDS INSTEAD
OF HAVING WEB PAGES TELL
PARENTS THAT THERE'S A POSITIVE
CASE AT THEIR SCHOOL, HAVING
CLEAR FIRM RULES FOR EVERYONE
WOULD GIVE FAMILIES FAR MORE
PEACE OF MIND.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: TONIGHT PEOPLE IN
TEXAS AND LOUISIANA ARE BRACING
FOR A MONSTER HURRICANE SET TO
MAKE LANDFALL ALONG THE GULF
COAST.
WITH IT WILL COME A STORM SURGE
SO HIGH THAT IT IS OFFICIALLY
DESCRIBED AS UNSURVIVABLE.
HURRICANE LAURA IS A CATEGORY 4
RIGHT NOW.
AFTER KILLING MORE THAN 20
PEOPLE IN HAITI AND THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, IT IS
EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL IN THE
U.S. TONIGHT OR EARLY TOMORROW
MORNING, AND THEN HEAD NORTH.
KATIE SIMPSON WITH THE PUSH TO
GET EVERYONE OUT OF ITS WAY IN
TIME.
>> Reporter: THE VIEW FROM
SPACE, THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY
GET A SENSE RIGHT NOW OF JUST
HOW POWERFUL THIS STORM IS.
HURRICANE LAURA GROWING IN SIZE
AND INTENSITY OVER THE GULF ON
THE APPROACH TO THE
TEXAS-LOUISIANA BORDER.
HALF A MILLION PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
ORDERED TO LEAVE AHEAD OF THE
COUNTRY'S FIRST MAJOR STORM OF
THE SEASON.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THE WORD
"UNSURVIVABLE" TO DESCRIBE THE
STORM SURGE THAT WE ARE
EXPECTING.
>> Reporter: THAT UNSURVIVABLE
STORM SURGE COULD REACH SIX
METRES AND TRAVEL 50 KILOMETRES
INLAND.
IT'S THE KIND OF POWER THAT HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO CARVE A SWATH
OF DAMAGE SO SEVERE THAT EVEN
EXPERTS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME
DESCRIBING IT.
>> I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF THE
RIGHT WORDS -- CATASTROPHIC AND
LIFE THREATENING.
>> Reporter: BUILDINGS AND
HOMES ARE BEING BOARDED UP,
SANDBAGS FILLED IN THE HOPES OF
STAVING OFF THE WORST.
>> WE WAS GOING TO STAY BUT WHEN
THEY SAID CATEGORY 4, THAT WAS
IT.
EVEN THOUGH THE HOUSE IS
SUPPOSED TO BE -- NAH, I DON'T
THINK SO.
>> Reporter: PEOPLE IN BOTH
STATES HAVE LIVED THIS TRAUMA
BEFORE.
HURRICANE HARVEY CAUSED BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE IN TEXAS
THREE YEARS AGO.
AND THIS WEEK MARKS THE 15th
ANNIVERSARY OF HURRICANE
KATRINA.
MAKING THINGS ALL THE MORE
COMPLICATED THIS TIME IS COVID.
THE EVACUATION PROCESS HAS BEEN
ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT FOR THE
SICK.
>> I HAVE CALLED TWO NUMBERS AND
WE GOT TURNED DOWN FOR BUSES
BECAUSE MY MOTHER HAS CORONA.
>> Reporter: EMERGENCY
SHELTERS ARE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW
PHYSICAL DISTANCING PRACTICES.
BUT THERE IS STILL FEAR THIS
STORM WILL MAKE THE ONGOING
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS WORSE.
ADDING TO THE MISERY OF TWO
STATES HIT BRUTALLY HARD BY THE
PANDEMIC.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: A TORONTO-AREA
WOMAN HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR
ALLEGEDLY TRYING TO JOIN ISIS.
UP NEXT, SHE AND HER NEW HUSBAND
WERE ARRESTED IN TURKEY LAST
YEAR AND CAME HOME 10 MONTHS
AGO.
SO WHY AN ARREST NOW?
>>> PLUS, SPAIN'S COVID BOUNCE
BACK.
>> IT'S TERRIBLE PSYCHOLOGICALLY
FOR THE HEALTH CARE WORKERS,
IT'S VERY HARD.

AS SPANISH
OFFICIALS TRY TO CRACK DOWN ON A
SURGE OF CASES.

>> Adrienne: A TORONTO-AREA
WOMAN HAS BEEN
ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY LEAVING
CANADA TO JOIN THE ISLAMIC STATE
IN SYRIA.
WE FIRST TOLD YOU ABOUT HALEEMA
MUSTAFA LAST YEAR WHEN SHE AND
HER HUSBAND WERE DETAINED IN
TURKEY.
NOW EIGHT MONTHS AFTER HIS
ARREST IN CANADA, SHE'S FACING
CHARGES OF HER OWN.
KATIE NICHOLSON EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: THERE WAS HER
FLAIR FOR FASHION AND HER
GROWING UNIVERSITY LIFE, AND HER
NEW HUSBAND.
HALEEMA MUSTAFA'S FUTURE WAS
LOOKING BRIGHT.
TODAY A VERY DIFFERENT REALITY.
RCMP ARRESTED HALEEMA MUSTAFA
AROUND NOON KNOW NEAR PICKERING,
ONTARIO.
THE PROSECUTION SERVICE
CONFIRMED SHE HAS BEEN CHARGED
WITH PARTICIPATION IN THE
ACTIVITIES OF A TERRORIST GROUP
AND LEAVING CANADA TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES OF
A TERRORIST GROUP, THE SAME
CHARGES AS HER HUSBAND.
THIS TIME LAST YEAR IKAR MAO AND
HALEEMA MUSTAFA WERE BOTH IN
TURKISH CUSTODY.
THE COUPLE WAS IN SOUTHERN
TURKEY, ACCORDING TO DOCUMENTS
OBTAINED BY CBC NEWS, THE FAMILY
ALERTED THE AUTHORITIES THEY
WERE AFRAID THAT THE NEWLYWEDS
HAD BECOME RADICALIZED AND WERE
ABOUT TO SLIP ACROSS THE BORDER
INTO SYRIA AND JOIN ISIS.
CANADA BROUGHT THEM HOME IN
OCTOBER.
TWO MONTHS LATER MAO WAS
ARRESTED ON TWO TERROR RELATED
CHARGES AND HE'S BEEN IN CUSTODY
EVER SINCE.
THE COURT HAS HEARD DETAILS WHY
MAO WAS ARRESTED BUT THAT
INFORMATION IS PROTECTED BY A
PUBLICATION BAN.
IT IS UNUSUAL FOR WOMEN TO FACE
TERROR RELATED CHARGES IN
CANADA, BUT NOT UNHEARD OF.
AND THE TREND IS INCREASING.
>> AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF
FOREIGN FIGHTERS AND THE MALE TO
FEMALE RATIO, RESEARCH SHOWS
THAT IT'S AROUND 10%.
>> Reporter: AS TO WHY MUSTAFA
IS BEING CHARGED NOW, HE SAYS
THAT
INVESTIGATIONS INTO ALLEGED
FOREIGN FIGHTERS ARE COMPLICATED
AND INVOLVE MULTIPLE
INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES.
MUSTAFA IS EXPECTED TO BE IN
COURT ON THURSDAY MORNING, ALSO
WHEN WE'RE EXPECTED TO HEAR MORE
FROM THE RCMP.

AT TWO MOSQUES IN CHRISTCHURCH,
NEW ZEALAND, LAST YEAR HAS
RECEIVED AN UNPRECEDENTED
SENTENCE.
HE WILL SPEND LIFE IN PRISON
WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF
PAROLE.
IT IS THE HARSHEST SENTENCE
ALLOWED BY LAW IN NEW ZEALAND.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT IT'S
BEEN IMPOSED.
THE ATTACKS TARGETING PEOPLE OF

A PICTURE OF TWO AMERICAS AND A
STARK CONTRAST TO ONGOING CALLS
FOR RACIAL JUSTICE IN THE
STREETS OF THE UNITED STATES.
SO FOR A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS

SO, ERINN, LET'S START WITH YOU.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING
NOW, THE SHOOTINGS, THE PROTESTS
AND THE BOYCOTTS,
IN YOUR ESTIMATION DOES THIS DO
ANYTHING TO ALTER THE POLITICAL
LANDSCAPE NOW, OR ARE THE
POSITIONS SO SET?
>> WELL, I THINK THAT WHAT IT
DOES IS THAT IT SHOWS THAT THE
NATIONAL RECKONING ON RACE IS
HAPPENING, WHETHER THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
WANTS TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR NOT.
THE CONVENTION OPENED THIS WEEK
AS JACOB BLAKE WAS SHOT BY
POLICE IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN.
AND THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND
IN WISCONSIN HAS BEEN
ESCALATING, EVEN AS THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS SURROGATES
HAVE REALLY NOT ADDRESSED EITHER
THAT SHOOTING OR THE LARGER
ISSUE OF SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY IN
POLICING.
YOU HAD THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
JOE BIDEN SAYING THAT HE'S
SPOKEN WITH THE FAMILY TODAY,
ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES.
BUT I THINK THAT WHAT IS
APPARENT IS THAT THIS ELECTION
IS EXESSENTIAL FOR A LOT OF THE
BLACK VOTERS THAT I TALK TO AND
THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM WHOEVER
IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT
PRESIDENT ABOUT WHAT THEIR PLAN
IS TO KEEP THEM SAFE IN THE DUAL
PANDEMIC OF THE CORONAVIRUS AND
SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY.
>> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT, SO
WE'RE ON NIGHT THREE OF THIS
CONVENTION, ONE MORE TO GO.
AS A REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST,
MICHAEL, WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT
THIS MOMENT CHANGES FOR
REPUBLICANS IN PARTICULAR?
>> I THINK THAT THERE HAS TO BE
SOME ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF IT.
AND THERE'S MANY REPUBLICANS,
AND INDEPENDENTS, WHO MAYBE
RELUCTANTLY VOTED FOR THE
PRESIDENT LAST TIME SEEING HIM
AS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO
HILLARY CLINTON.
BUT ALSO I DO HAVE MAJOR ISSUES
WITH SOME OF THE KIND OF RACISM
THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE AND
SYSTEMICALLY DON'T WANT TO DEAL
WITH IT, AND DON'T WANT TO SEE
THEMSELVES AS PART
OF A RACIST PARTY.
I THINK THAT THE REPUBLICANS
TRIED TO ADDRESS THAT A BIT
DURING THIS CONVENTION BUT THEY
DO NEED TO DO MORE OF IT.
AND TIM SCOTT WERE EXCELLENT
SPEAKERS AND THEY SHOWED THAT.
BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE HAS TO
BE AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THAT.
AND YOU MENTIONED CORONAVIRUS,
THAT ALSO I THINK THAT NEEDS TO
BE A BIT MORE FRONT AND CENTRE
IN THE NEXT TWO NIGHTS I THINK.
>> Adrienne: BUT IF WE STAY ON
THE MATTER OF THE OUTRAGE IN THE
UNITED STATES OVER WHAT IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, I HEAR WHAT
YOU'RE ALL SAYING, BUT, DAVID,
HOW TOP OF MIND DO YOU THINK
THAT THIS IS FOR THE ELECTORATE?
DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE OF GAUGING
THAT, AND WHETHER IT WILL STAY
TOP OF MIND?
>> WE HEAR FROM BOTH PARTIES
THAT THEY'RE SEEING CRIME AND
DISORDER CREEP INTO THE TOP FIVE
ISSUES.
BACK IN THE 1970s WHEN THE
UNITED STATES WAS GRIPPED BY A
CRIME WAVE, CRIME WAS OFTEN IN
ONE EFFORT TOP THREE PLACES.
IN THE 1990s AND 2000s IT
DROPPED, AND IT WASN'T EVEN IN
ONE OF THE TOP 10.
NOW IT'S BACK.
NOW WE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT
VOTERS MEAN WHEN THEY SAY CRIME
IS TOP OF MIND.
BUT THESE DISTURBANCES, THE
POLICE BRUTALITY, THE KILLINGS
AND THEN THE RIOTS AND THE
SCENES OF BURNING AND VIOLENCE,
CERTAINLY, THE REPUBLICANS THINK
THAT IS ONE OF THEIR FEW GOOD
ISSUES GOING INTO 2020.
>> Adrienne: WELL, CERTAINLY,
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PUTTING A
LOT OF MONEY IN THEIR
ADVERTISING, YOU KNOW, INTO
CRIMINAL JUSTICE MATTERS.
AS A VIEWER OF THE R.N.C. IT
LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE TRYING VERY
HARD TO REACH OUT TO AFRICAN
AMERICANS, I MEAN, VISUALLY
HISPANIC AMERICANS AND SUBURBAN
WOMEN.
ERINN, DO YOU SEE THAT?
WHAT IS YOUR SENSE OF THAT
STRATEGY?
>> I MEAN, SURE, OPTICALLY YOU
DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOME
DIVERSITY IN THE LINEUP THIS
WEEK.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE OF COLOUR,
WOMEN, KIND OF FRONT AND CENTRE.
BUT THAT DOES NOT MATCH THE
RHETORIC OR
THE POLICY OR THE REALITY OF THE
LAST FOUR YEARS OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
AND, ADRIENNE, I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT THERE IS A VERY EASY
SOLUTION TO, YOU KNOW, ANYONE
WHO WOULD TAKE ISSUE WITH THE
SCENES OF DESTRUCTION OF
PROPERTY OR VIOLENCE HAPPENING
IN THE STREETS AND THE CITIES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
AND THAT IS SIMPLY TO STOP
KILLING UNARMED BLACK PEOPLE IN
THIS COUNTRY.
YOU KNOW, THAT IS THE ISSUE THAT
THESE PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN TO THE
STREETS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW.
-- OR SEVERAL YEARS, IF I'M
BEING HONEST.
THAT IS WHY YOU SEE ATHLETES
PROTESTING IN THIS MOMENT,
LITERALLY WALKING OFF THE COURT
RATHER THAN TO CONTINUE TO
ENTERTAIN PEOPLE IN THIS MOMENT
OF TRAGEDY AND TRAUMA.
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE
TRYING TO RAISE AWARENESS AROUND
THE FACT THAT EVEN IN THE MIDST
OF A PANDEMIC, BLACK PEOPLE ARE
UNRELENTINGLY BEING SHOT AND
KILLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT, YOU
KNOW, WITHOUT REASON.
>> Adrienne: AND WHEN, YOU
KNOW, JUST LISTENING TO WHAT YOU
TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF WHO
THEY'VE PUT ON DISPLAY AND WHO
THEY'VE OFFERED, YOU KNOW, AS
SPEAKERS, ARE THESE
DEMOGRAPHICS, YOU KNOW, I HATE
TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE AS
DEMOGRAPHICS, BUT POLITICALLY,
MICHAEL, ARE THESE PEOPLE
ACTUALLY IN PLAY FOR
REPUBLICANS?
>> IT DOESN'T SERVE ANYONE WELL
IF, YOU KNOW, IF REPUBLICANS
DON'T TRY TO WIN AFRICAN
AMERICAN VOTES.
IT DOESN'T SERVE ANYBODY WELL.
I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
PEOPLE TO COMPETE FOR VOTES.
I THINK THAT REPUBLICANS WHAT
THEY NEED TO DO IS TO NOT GIVE
UP AND TO TRY TO DO BETTER.
IF WE GET 10% OF THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN VOTE, THE REPUBLICANS
SHOULD TRY TO GET 10% OR 5% THE
NEXT TIME AND TRY TO GROW IT.
AND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE
PARTS OF THE PLATFORM THAT
HAVEN'T GOTTEN PLAY IN TERMS OF
IMPROVING EQUALITY FOR ALL AND
IMPROVING EDUCATION FOR ALL.
AND A BIG PART IS, AGAIN,
SHOWING THAT WE CARE.
PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO CARE WHAT
YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW THAT
YOU CARE.
AND I THINK THAT FOR
REPUBLICANS, I THINK THAT
MELANIA TRUMP WAS ONE OF THE FEW
SPEAKERS LAST NIGHT TO REALLY
ADDRESS WHAT WAS GOING ON,
CERTAINLY, WITH THE PANDEMIC.
AND SHOWING THAT EMPATHY AND
APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING
AND TRYING TO WALK IN SOMEONE
ELSE'S SHOES IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT.
I THINK THAT NEEDS TO COME
ACROSS.
>> Adrienne: DAVID, I CAN KIND
OF FEEL YOU TRYING TO CLIMB
THROUGH THE SCREEN AT THE
MOMENT.
>> WHEN YOU ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT
STRATEGY, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
AND THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM ARE
NOT FULLY RATIONAL ACTORS.
THEY DON'T EXACTLY -- THEY HAVE
IMPULSES.
THEY HAVE STRATEGIES TOO, BUT
THEY ALWAYS LOSE THEIR IMPULSES.
THE PRESIDENT -- AS MELANIA
TRUMP SAID ABOUT THE PRESIDENT,
HE ALWAYS SAYS WHAT HE THINKS.
IF HE DESPISES YOU
AND DISRESPECTS YOU, HE DOESN'T
CONCEAL THAT.
AND THAT IS THE REAL MESSAGE,
AND SO THE FORMAL MESSAGE OF,
HEY, BEFORE CORONAVIRUS WRECKED
THE ECONOMY, LOOK, EMPLOYMENT
SITUATION FOR BLACK AMERICANS
WAS GOOD AND THE EMPLOYMENT
SITUATION FOR WOMEN WAS GOOD --
THAT IS WHAT IS SAID BUT THAT IS
NOT WHAT IS COMMUNICATED.
PEOPLE ARE VERY, VERY ALERT TO
ALL OF THE VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL
WAYS THAT IT IS COMMUNICATED
WHETHER THEY ARE TREATED WITH
RESPECT.
A NUMBER OF THE SPEECHES ON THE
NIGHT -- THE PREVIOUS NIGHTS
WHERE THEY TRIED TO REACH OUT TO
THESE MINORITY GROUPS.
ONE OF THE BIG ARGUMENTS THAT
WAS MADE WAS, MINORITY VIEWER,
YOU ARE WRONG.
YOU ARE IN A PLANTATION.
IF YOU DON'T THINK WELL OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP, THAT'S NOT HIS
FAULT.
THAT'S YOUR FAULT.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER AND YOU
SHOULD BE SMARTER.
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU WIN ANYONE'S
VOTE.
YOU DON'T TELL THEM THEY'RE
WRONG.
YOU TRY TO SHOWCASE THINGS ABOUT
YOUR CANDIDATE THAT REMIND THEM
OF WHY THEY LIKED HIM.
HE'S BEEN PRESIDENT FOR FOUR
YEARS.
YOU CAN'T SELL HIM AT THIS POINT
AND YOU CAN ONLY ACTIVATE
SOMETHING THAT IS THERE.
AND IF THERE IS NOTHING THERE,
AND THERE'S BEEN FOUR
YEARS OF CONTEMPT, AND FOUR
YEARS OF MALTREATMENT, YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYBODY'S
MIND.
AND PUTTING FACES ON THE SCREEN
ACTUALLY IN A WAY BACKFIRES
BECAUSE IT BECOMES ONE MORE SHOW
OF CONTEMPT BECAUSE IT RAISES
THE QUESTION IN THE VIEWER'S
MIND, DO THEY THINK THAT I'M
THAT GULLIBLE.
>> Adrienne: SO I JUST -- WE
DON'T HAVE
MUCH TIME LEFT AND, ERINN, I'D
LIKE TO PUT SOMETHING TO YOU,
YOU TALKED ABOUT THE DUAL
CRISES, INCLUDING THE PANDEMIC.
WHEN I LOOK AT THE R.N.C. THERE
SEEMS TO BE NO VISUAL
REPRESENTATION OF COVID.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
>> WELL, THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID
THAT HE IS READY TO MOVE ON FROM
THE PANDEMIC, EVEN THOUGH THE
PANDEMIC HAS CERTAINLY NOT MOVED
ON FROM THE UNITED STATES.
BUT, LISTEN, I MEAN, WE KNOW
THAT WOMEN ARE NOT ONLY THE
MAJORITY OF THE ELECTORATE BUT
THEY'RE THE MAJORITY OF THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING IMPACTED BY
AND RESPONDING TO CORONAVIRUS.
AND WE KNOW THAT OUR BLACK
PEOPLE ARE BEING
DISPROPORTIONATELY KILLED BY
THIS CORONAVIRUS AND ARE ALSO
BEING DISPROPORTIONATELY
AFFECTED ECONOMICALLY.
AND YET THE PRESIDENT HAS NO
REAL -- HAS NOT REALLY TALKED
ABOUT A PLAN FOR ADDRESSING
EITHER ONE OF THOSE GROUPS.
WE KNOW THAT BLACK VOTERS FOUR
YEARS AGO OVERWHELMINGLY
REJECTED THIS PRESIDENT,
ALTHOUGH 13% OF BLACK MEN VOTED
FOR HIM.
SO YOU SEE HIM DEFINITELY MAKING
OVERTURES LIKE PARDONING THE MAN
LAST NIGHT OUT OF LAS VEGAS ON
LIVE TELEVISION, AND THEN
HIGHLIGHTING THE CENTENNIAL
SUFFERAGE, WHICH I WOULD BE
REMISS TO
NOT BRING UP BEING THAT MY
NEWSROOM IS NAMED FOR THE 19th
MESSAGE.
BUT THE OMISSION OF BLACK WOMEN
WHO WERE SACRIFICED A HUNDRED
YEARS AGO SO THAT WHITE WOMEN
COULD GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN
THIS COUNTRY.
AND THEY WERE OMITTED AGAIN LAST
NIGHT IN THIS CONVENTION.
SO, AGAIN, THE OPTICS ARE NOT
REALLY LINING UP TO THE REALITY.
TO DAVID'S POINT, THIS IS NOT AN
ELECTION ABOUT WHAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP WILL DO, AS HE PITCHED IN
2016.
IT'S A MESSAGE ABOUT WHAT HE HAS
DONE.
AND VOTERS, PARTICULARLY WOMEN
AND PEOPLE OF COLOUR WHO, YOU
KNOW, ARE SEEING THAT AND
EVALUATING THAT FOR THEMSELVES,
ARE SEEING A MESSAGE THAT IS AT
ODDS WITH THEIR LIVED REALITY.
>> Adrienne: ALL OF YOU, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
DAVID FRUM AND ERRINN HAINES AND
MICHAEL DuHAIME.
THANK YOU.
>>> NEXT UP ON "THE NATIONAL,"
LESSONS FROM SPAIN.
THE COUNTRY IS BEATING BACK A
COVID RESURGENCE AND HOW
OFFICIALS ARE CHANGING THEIR
MESSAGE.
PLUS --
>> ALL THE CHAIRS HAVE BEEN
MARKED SO WE CAN ONLY SIT IN
CERTAIN SEATS.
>> Adrienne: THE FIRST BIG
SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER IS OFFICIALLY
AT THE BOX OFFICE.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
A PARTNER BETWEEN A CHINESE
DRUGMAKER AND A CANADIAN LAB HAS
BEEN SCRAPPED AMIDST THE RISING
TENSIONS BETWEEN THE TWO
COUNTRIES.
A TEAM AT DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY
HAD PARTNERED WITH A CHINESE
COMPANY CANSINO TO BEGIN THE
TESTING OF
THE PROMISING VACCINE IN CANADA
BACK IN MAY, BUT CHINESE CUSTOMS
WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VACCINE TO
BE SHIPPED TO CANADA.
AND THE C.D.C. IN THE UNITED
STATES HAS CHANGED ITS
GUIDELINES ON WHO SHOULD BE
TESTED FOR CORONAVIRUS.
IT NOW SAYS THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE
HAD CLOSE CONTACT WITH A
CONFIRMED CASE DO NOT NEED TO BE
TESTED IF THEY DON'T HAVE
SYMPTOMS.
ITS PREVIOUS GUIDELINES STATED
THAT ANYONE WITH SUSPECTED
EXPOSURE SHOULD GET TESTED.
CHANGE IS BEING MET WITH SOME
SKEPTICISM.
>> I DON'T AGREE WITH THE NEW
C.D.C. GUIDANCE FULL-STOP.
>> Adrienne: AND DR. ANTHONY
FAUCI SAID THAT HE WAS HAVING
THROAT SURGERY WHEN THE CHANGE
WAS DISCUSSED AND HE DISAGREES
WITH IT.
>>> IN SPAIN, INCREASED TESTING
IS ONE WAY THEY ARE TRYING TO
GET A SECOND SPIKE IN
CORONAVIRUS UNDER CONTROL.
AS RENÉE FILIPPONE TELLS US,
JUST LIKE IN CANADA, MANY OF THE
NEW CASES ARE YOUNG PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: IN A MADRID
NEIGHBOURHOOD, RESIDENTS LINE UP
TO GET A FREE COVID TEST.
IT'S A NEW PUSH BY AUTHORITIES
TO TRY AND LOCATE ASYMPTOMATIC
CARRIERS TO STOP THE RAPID
SPREAD OF THE VIRUS.
>> THE MAIN REASON FOR DOING
IN IS THAT THESE ARE THE AREAS
IN
MADRID THAT HAVE INCIDENCES OF
NEW CASES.
>> Reporter: MANY OF THE NEW
TRANSMISSIONS IN SPAIN ARE
HAPPENING BETWEEN YOUNGER AND
LESS VULNERABLE PEOPLE, COMPARED
TO THE OUTBREAK IN THE SPRING
WHERE THE HOSPITALS WERE
OVERWHELMED.
BUT ADMISSIONS ARE RISING.
>> WITH A FEAR THAT THINGS WILL
COME UP AGAIN TO A VERY
PROBLEMATIC SITUATION IS REALLY,
REALLY TERRIBLE -- I MEAN,
PSYCHOLOGICALLY FOR THE HEALTH
CARE WORKERS, IT'S VERY HARD.
>> Reporter: THIS DOCTOR SAYS
WHEN THE LOCKDOWN LIFTED IN
JUNE, THE MESSAGING WASN'T CLEAR
SPECIFICALLY AROUND PHYSICAL
DISTANCING.
>> MOST OF THE NEW OUTBREAKS ARE
RELATED TO MEETINGS, EVEN FAMILY
MEETINGS OR FRIENDS MEETINGS OR
SITUATIONS LIKE THAT.
AND PROBABLY IT WAS NOT THAT
CLEAR FOR MANY PEOPLE THAT THESE
KIND OF MEASURES SHOULD ALSO BE
MAINTAINED IN THOSE SITUATIONS.
>> Reporter: THERE HAS ALSO
BEEN CRITICISM THAT CONTACT
TRACING IS INSUFFICIENT IN PARTS
OF SPAIN.
THE GOVERNMENT IS NOW OFFERING
UP THE ARMY TO HELP.
>> [Speaking Foreign Language]
>> Reporter: "WE HAVE TO TAKE
CONTROL AND BEAT THIS SECOND
CURVE," SAYS PRIME MINISTER
PEDRO SANCHEZ, "THE SOONER AND
THE FASTER THE BETTER."
THEY ARE STEPPING UP
RESTRICTIONS IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
IN CATALONIA THERE'S A NEW BAN
ON GATHERINGS OF MORE THAN 10
PEOPLE.
"I THINK THAT IT'S VERY GOOD,"
SAYS THIS WOMAN, "BECAUSE WHAT I 
AM SEEING ON THE STREETS MAKES
ME ASHAMED"
THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN CLEAR
THAT IT DOESN'T WANT ANOTHER
NATIONAL LOCKDOWN.
WORRY THAT THE PANDEMIC COULD
PARALYZE THE COUNTRY'S ECONOMY
YET AGAIN.
RENÉE FILIPPONE, CBC NEWS,
LONDON.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'S
NEW FILM HAS HIT THE BIG SCREEN
--
>> YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT.
TIME IS THE PROBLEM.
GETTING OUT ALIVE IS THE
PROBLEM.
>> Adrienne: SO ANYONE WHO HAS
EVER SEEN ONE OF CHRISTOPHER
NOLAN'S MIND-BENDING FILMS CAN
TELL YOU THE BIG SCREEN IS KEY
TO GETTING THE FULL EFFECT.
HIS HOTLY ANTICIPATED NEW FILM
"TENET" LOOKS TO BE NO
EXCEPTION, BUT THE QUESTION FOR
NOLAN AND THE WHOLE MOVIE
INDUSTRY FOR THAT MATTER IS,
WILL THE CROWDS RISK COVID-19 TO
SEE IT?
THERE HAS BEEN A MAD SCRAMBLE TO
MAKE THEATRES SAFE.
HERE IN CANADA WHERE "TENET"
OPENS TONIGHT AHEAD OF THE U.S.
ELI GLASNER WAS ONE OF THE FIRST
TO SEE THE FILM AND HE ALSO GOT
A GLIMPSE OF WHAT GOING TO THE
MOVIES COULD LOOK LIKE FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
>> ELI GLASNER.
>> GO AHEAD.
>> Reporter: AS IT WILL BE FOR
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THIS SCREENING
OF "TENET" WAS MY FIRST TIME IN
A THEATRE SINCE MARCH.
>> THIS MAKES THE EXPERIENCE
MORE INTENSE.
>> Reporter: FOR THE CRITICS,
PHYSICAL DISTANCING WASN'T THE
ISSUE.
ALL OF THE CHAIRS HAVE BEEN
MARKED SO WE CAN ONLY SIT IN
CERTAIN SEATS.
BUT TONIGHT THEATRES ARE ALREADY
SELLING OUT, ALBEIT AT REDUCED
CAPACITY.
ALL BECAUSE OF --
>> TENET.
>> OPEN THE RIGHT DOORS, SOME OF
THE WRONG ONES TOO...
>> Reporter: THE FIRST FRESH
BLOCKBUSTER IN OVER FIVE MONTHS.
>> WHAT WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE HAS
BEEN -- IT'S BEEN SERIOUS AND IT
WORKS.
>> Reporter: WITH CLEANING AND
DISTANCING PROCEDURES IN PLACE
SINCE JUNE, CINEPLEX SAYS THAT
IT'S READY.
>> WE HAVE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF
COMMENTS THAT PEOPLE, THEY FEEL
SAFER IN A MOVIE THEATRE THAN
THEY ARE ANYWHERE ELSE.
>> Reporter: BUT NOT EVERYONE
AGREES.
>> I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BE
ASKING YOURSELF HOW BADLY DO YOU 
WANT TO GO TO SEE A MOVIE IN A
THEATRE.
>> Reporter: THIS E.R. DOCTOR
SAYS THAT MANY PARTS OF THE
MOVIE EXPERIENCE INCREASE THE
RISK.
>> CONCESSIONS ARE OPEN SO
PEOPLE ARE EATING, SO MASKS ARE
COMING OFF.
IT'S A LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO BE
KEPT IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE.
MOVIES CAN BE EMOTIONAL AND
PEOPLE CAN CRY, PEOPLE CAN
LAUGH.
SO YOU'RE ADDING THE RISK OF
SPREADING SOME OF THOSE
RESPIRATORY DROPLETS.
>> THE WORLD PREMIERE OF
"TROLLS" IS NOW IN YOUR HOME.
>> Reporter: WHILE SOME
SMALLER FILMS HAVE GONE STRAIGHT
TO STREAMING, PART OF THE
PRESSURE TO PUT "TENET" ON THE
BIG SCREEN CAME FROM DIRECTOR
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN.
>> HE'S A HUGE PROPONENT OF THE
MOVIE THEATRE EXPERIENCE AND
WARNER BROTHERS IS A VERY
FILMMAKER CENTRIC STUDIO.
>> Reporter: SO WITH ACTORS
LIKE TOM CRUISE, WHO IS NOT EVEN
IN "TENET" --
>> BACK TO THE MOVIES.
>> Reporter: HYPING UP THE
EXPERIENCE, THE INDUSTRY WAITS
TO SEE IF AUDIENCES WILL
CONSIDER GOING TO THE MOVIES AS
A RISKY BUSINESS.
>> BACK TO THE MOVIE THEATRE,
EVERYBODY.
>> Reporter: ELI GLASNER, CBC
NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: WHEN WE COME
BACK, A PANDEMIC HOBBY FOR THE
RECORD BOOKS.
>> SINCE I WAS BORN I DECIDED TO
COMBINE RUBIK CUBE AND
HULA-HOOPING JUST FOR FUN.
>> 
(*)
>> Adrienne: LIKE SO MANY OF
US, SANKAVI RATHAN GOT A LITTLE
BIT BORED DURING THE PANDEMIC SO
SHE DECIDED TO LEARN A NEW SKILL
-- SOLVING THE RUBIK CUBE AND
THEN SHE ADDED A TWIST OR TWO.
THE RUBIK CUBE ON ITS OWN JUST
WASN'T CHALLENGING ENOUGH FOR
HER, SO SHE TOSSED IN A
HULA-HOOP AND
SET A GOAL OF BREAKING A WORLD
RECORD.
AND THAT IS OUR "MOMENT."
(*)
>> I LOVE SOLVING RUBIK AND
HULA-HOOPING SEPARATELY, BUT
JUST FOR FUN I DECIDED TO
COMBINE IT TOGETHER.
I ONLY STARTED LEARNING THE
RUBIK
CUBE EARLIER THIS SUMMER AND
ONCE I GOT GOOD AT IT, MY
PARENTS SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD
APPLY FOR
A GUINESS WORLD RECORD.
THEY TOLD US THAT THERE WAS A
RECORD CALLED MOST OF SOLVING
THE RUBIK CUBE WITH ONE HAND
WHILE HULA-HOOPING AND I WAS
LIKE MAYBE I COULD BREAK THAT.
THE FIRST TIME I DID IT I WAS
AROUND THE RECORD, AROUND 25.
LIKE ABOUT 20 TO 25 CUBES.
BUT WHEN I ACTUALLY GOT BETTER I
WAS AT LIKE 30 TO 35.
I ONLY PRACTISED DURING THIS
PANDEMIC AND IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT
THREE OR FOUR MONTHS.
I ALWAYS LIKE A CHALLENGE
INSTEAD OF JUST KEEPING IT
SIMPLE.
IT'S MORE FUN TO JUST TAKE IT UP
TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
I WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE MORE
RECORDS IN THE FUTURE.
EVER SINCE I FOUND OUT THAT I
COULD DO A GUINESS WORLD RECORD
I JUST WANT TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING
BIG
AND TO BE AN INSPIRATION TO
EVERYONE.
>> Adrienne: WELL, NO KIDDING,
SANKAVI, THAT YOU ARE.
SO SHE SAYS, AS YOU HAVE HEARD
THERE, IT'S NOT THAT HARD.
I BEG TO DIFFER.
BUT, ANYWAYS, SHE SAYS THAT
HULA-HOOPING IS JUST SHAKING
YOUR HIPS.
IT'S MAYBE A BIT MORE THAN THAT.
AND SHE SAID THAT SHE FIGURED
OUT AN EXACT ALGORITHM TO SOLVE
THE CUBES AND WORKS IT FASTER
AND FASTER EACH TIME.
CALL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IT
IS,
BECAUSE I STILL CAN'T DO IT.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26th.
GOOD NIGHT.
