>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M 
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
TONIGHT, MORE CHARGES IN THE 
KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD.
>> WE GOT ALL FOUR! 
WE GOT ALL FOUR! 
>> Adrienne: ALL FOUR OFFICERS 
INVOLVED NOW ARRESTED AND 
CHARGED.
BUT WILL JUSTICE BE SERVED?
>> ALL THE WORLD IS WATCHING. 
>> Adrienne: AND A STUNNING 
REBUKE TO THE PRESIDENT'S 
ACTIONS FROM TRUMP ALLIES. 
>> I DO NOT SUPPORT INVOKING THE
INSURRECTION ACT. 
>> Andrew: I'M ANDREW CHANG.
ALSO TONIGHT, DEMANDS FOR 
JUSTICE HERE IN CANADA.
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF UNKNOWN 
QUESTIONS OUT THERE THAT WE 
DESERVE TO KNOW AS FAMILY.
>> Andrew: GROWING CALLS FOR AN 
INQUIRY MORE THAN A MONTH AFTER 
THE HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING IN 
NOVA SCOTIA.
>>> AND FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN 
VIRTUAL MEETINGS ALL DAY?
>> I DO FEEL LIKE EVERY TIME I 
GOT OFF OF A ZOOM CALL I HAD TO 
GO LIE DOWN. 
>> Andrew: TURNS OUT ZOOM 
FATIGUE IS REAL.
WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
*
*
>> Adrienne: IT'S BEEN NINE DAYS
SINCE GEORGE FLOYD DIED AT THE 
HANDS OF POLICE, NINE DAYS OF 
PROTESTS AND CALLS FOR JUSTICE 
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, AND 
TONIGHT A STEP IN THAT 
DIRECTION.
>> Andrew: ALL FOUR FORMER 
MINNEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICERS 
INVOLVED HAVE BEEN CHARGED AND 
ARE NOW IN CUSTODY.
IT IS A CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT FOR
FLOYD'S FAMILY MOURNING, FOR A 
COUNTRY STILL TRYING TO FIND A 
CONSTRUCTIVE WAY FORWARD, AND 
WHILE TONIGHT THERE IS STILL 
ANGER AND FRUSTRATION ON THE 
STREETS, THERE'S ALSO HOPE THAT 
THIS COULD REPRESENT A TURNING 
POINT.
NOW, CROWDS HAVE BEEN GATHERING 
ALL DAY IN FRONT OF A MAKESHIFT 
MEMORIAL IN MINNEAPOLIS WHERE 
GEORGE FLOYD DIED, AND THAT 
CITY, LIKE SO MANY OTHERS ONCE 
AGAIN TONIGHT FACING A CURFEW.
THAT'S WHERE SUSAN ORMISTON 
BEGINS OUR COVERAGE.
SUSAN?
>> Reporter: SO, ANDREW, ON THE 
FIRST EVE OF THE OFFICIAL 
MEMORIAL FOR GEORGE FLOYD HERE 
IN MINNEAPOLIS, THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL IN THIS STATE SAID HE 
WAS NOT SWAYED BY PUBLIC OPINION
BUT BELIEVES HE HAS THE EVIDENCE
TO SUPPORT MURDER CHARGES FOR 
ALL FOUR OF THOSE POLICE 
OFFICERS.
THIS SETS IN MOTION SOME HIGHLY 
SENSITIVE CRIMINAL CASES WHICH 
WILL BE UNDER INTENSE SCRUTINY 
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
*
AN ANTHEM TO OPPRESSION AT THE 
GROWING SHRINE TO GEORGE FLOYD 
THE MOMENT THEY LEARNED ALL FOUR
POLICE OFFICERS WILL BE CHARGED 
FOR MURDER.
>> MINNEAPOLIS IS SENDING A 
MESSAGE TO THE WORLD THAT WE ARE
DONE DYING.
THIS IS HISTORY.
ALL 50 STATES ARE NOW DEMANDING 
JUSTICE IN SOLIDARITY AND UNITY.
>> Reporter: FLOYD'S SMOULDERING
GAZE LOOKS OUT NOW ON THE 
PAVEMENT WHERE HE DIED GASPING 
FOR AIR, DEREK CHAUVIN KNEELING 
ON HIS NECK.
HE'LL GET A MORE SERIOUS 
SECOND-DEGREE MURDER CHARGE.
TWO OTHER OFFICERS WHO PRESSED 
THEIR WEIGHT ON HIS LEGS AND 
BACK, AND A THIRD, ALL WHO 
FAILED TO INTERVENE, WILL BE 
CHARGED WITH AIDING AND ABETTING
MURDER.
[ Chanting ].
ANSWERING LOUD CALLS FOR 
CRIMINAL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EACH
OF THEM.
>> WE ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THAT HE
WAS TORTURED IN THE LAST EIGHT 
MINUTES AND 46 SECONDS OF HIS 
LIFE. 
>> Reporter: BUT NOW STRONG 
EMOTIONS MUST BE CHECKED AGAINST
PROVABLE FACTS, ESTABLISHING 
INTENT AND THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
>> TRYING THIS CASE WILL NOT BE 
AN EASY THING.
WINNING A CONVICTION WILL BE 
HARD. 
>> Reporter: ESPECIALLY WHEN 
PROSECUTING POLICE.
>> THIS IS A PIECE OF PAPER.
THIS WILL NOT DISAPPEAR UNLESS 
WE CHANGE THE WAY WE THINK AND 
HOW WE FEEL ABOUT ONE ANOTHER. 
>> Reporter: BUT HERE, SPIRITS 
HAVE LIFTED, THAT AT LEAST THE 
ARRESTS ARE A FIRST STEP TOWARDS
THE JUSTICE THEY SEEK. 
>> GIVE EVERYBODY A LITTLE HOPE 
ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT STEP COULD 
BE, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN 
CONTINUE TO, YOU KNOW, JUST KEEP
THE PRESSURE ON.
>> Reporter: WHILE SENTIMENTS 
ARE STRONG. 
>> ALL THE WORLD IS WATCHING!
ALL THE WORLD IS WATCHING!
ALL THE WORLD IS WATCHING!
>> Reporter: IT APPEARS THAT 
MINNEAPOLIS HAS MOVED BEYOND THE
VIOLENT CLASHES BETWEEN LOOTERS 
AND POLICE JUST DAYS AGO.
THIS SCENE HERE TONIGHT IS VERY 
PEACEFUL.
MORE AND MORE FLOWERS AT THE 
SHRINE FOR GEORGE FLOYD.
THEY KEEP COMING AND COMING.
BUT IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT EVEN 
THESE CHARGES WILL GO A LONG WAY
TO QUIETING LOUD DEMANDS FOR AN 
EXCAVATION OF RACIAL 
INEQUALITIES IN THIS COUNTRY 
BEYOND POLICING, ANDREW.
>> Andrew: AND SO, SUSAN, WHAT 
DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD EXPECT 
TOMORROW AND NEXT WEEK?
>> Reporter: YEAH, WELL, 
TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A 
MEMORIAL HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS, A 
LARGE GATHERING.
FAMILY HAS COME IN FROM ALL 
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A 
THOUSAND PEOPLE THERE, AND THAT 
IS THE FIRST OF SEVERAL 
MEMORIALS TO GEORGE FLOYD.
HIS BODY WILL BE ULTIMATELY SENT
TO HOUSTON FOR HIS FUNERAL THERE
IN THE CITY WHERE HE GREW UP ON 
TUESDAY.
>> Andrew: SUSAN ORMISTON, 
THANKS SO MUCH.
>> Adrienne: IN WASHINGTON,
PROTESTERS HAVE GATHERED JUST 
STEPS AWAY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE 
TODAY WHERE CRACKS HAVE BEGUN TO
EMERGE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND
THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
PAUL HUNTER JOINS US FROM 
WASHINGTON NOW.
PAUL?
>> Reporter: ADRIENNE, THE WORD 
THEY ARE USING HERE TONIGHT IS 
REVOLUTION.
HERE'S THE SCENE.
MASSIVE LOUD BUT PEACEFUL CROWD.
IF YOU PAN THE CAMERA TO THE 
LEFT YOU'LL SEE THE POLICE LINES
JUST PAST THESE SIGNS.
AND THEN ABOUT A HALF A BLOCK 
FURTHER TO THE LEFT IS THE WHITE
HOUSE.
INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP INCREASINGLY 
FACING ESCALATING CONDEMNATION.
>> BLACK LIVES MATTER!
>> BLACK LIVES MATTER!
>> Reporter: JUST BLOCKS FROM 
THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN TODAY, 
FURY. 
>> STOP KILLING BLACK PEOPLE. 
>> Reporter: TARGETING NOT JUST 
AMERICA'S DEEP RACIAL DIVISIONS,
BUT AS WELL SPECIFICALLY THE 
OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE JUST
DOWN THE STREET.
>> TRUMP DON'T CARE ABOUT US, 
PERIOD.
ALL HE THINKS ABOUT IS HIMSELF.
ALL HE THINK ABOUT 
HE'S BEEN AGAINST ALL OF US EVER
SINCE HE'S BEEN THE PRESIDENT. 
>> WE DONE.
WE WANT TO FORCE THIS RIDICULOUS
ADMINISTRATION TO SPEAK UP AND 
TO SUPPORT BLACK PEOPLE FOR WHAT
THEY DESERVE.
>> Reporter: ON CAPITOL HILL, 
ANOTHER PROTEST, EQUALLY 
FORCEFULLY HELD IN SILENCE.
[SILENCE]
THOUGH THE QUIET WAS BROKEN BY 
CHEERS FOR SUPPORT FROM THE 
OTHER SIDE, FIRST ONE OFFICER, 
AND THEN ANOTHER.
AND SIGNIFICANTLY TWO DAYS AFTER
DONALD TRUMP THREATENED TO PUT 
DOWN THE PROTESTS BY CALLING IN 
THE AMERICAN MILITARY TO TARGET 
AMERICAN CITIZENS ON AMERICAN 
SOIL, TODAY A STUNNING REJECTION
FROM TRUMP'S OWN SECRETARY OF 
DEFENSE.
>> THE OPTION TO USE ACTIVE DUTY
FORCES IN A LAW ENFORCEMENT ROLE
SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS A MATTER 
OF LAST RESORT AND ONLY IN THE 
MOST URGENT AND DIRE OF 
SITUATIONS.
WE ARE NOT IN ONE OF THOSE 
SITUATIONS NOW.
I DO NOT SUPPORT INVOKING THE 
INSURRECTION ACT. 
>> Reporter: ON MONDAY NIGHT, AS
CBC NEWS WATCHED, MARK ESPER MET
WITH SOME OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN 
PROTECTING THE WHITE HOUSE.
THAT VISIT BY ESPER CAME JUST 
AFTER HE'D BEEN WITH TRUMP AT 
THAT CHURCH WHERE PROTESTERS HAD
JUST BEEN FORCIBLY CLEARED FROM 
THE AREA TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE 
PRESIDENT.
ESPER TODAY ACKNOWLEDGED IT WAS 
JUST A PHOTO OP, AND AS FOR 
TRUMP'S THREAT TO SOON USE U.S. 
TROOPS, HE SAID THEY SHOULD 
INSTEAD BE USED TO PROTECT THE 
RIGHTS OF AMERICANS TO ASSEMBLE.
>> BLACK LIVES MATTER!
>> Reporter: AND TONIGHT, MORE 
SUPPORT FOR DEMONSTRATORS, THIS 
TIME FROM FORMER PRESIDENT 
BARACK OBAMA.
>> I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU 
MATTER.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR 
LIVES MATTER.
>> Reporter: IN A LIVE STREAMED 
DISCUSSION ON RACIAL INJUSTICES,
OBAMA SUGGESTED THE 
DEMONSTRATIONS ARE HAVING AN 
EFFECT, HIGHLIGHTING THE 
COUNTRY'S DEEP CHALLENGES.
RECENT DAYS HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT 
AND SCARY, HE SAID, BUT BECAUSE 
OF THOSE PROTESTS . . . 
>> THEY'VE ALSO BEEN AN 
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR 
PEOPLE TO BE AWAKENED TO SOME OF
THESE UNDERLYING TRENDS.
AND THEY OFFER AN OPPORTUNITY 
FOR US TO ALL WORK TOGETHER TO 
TACKLE THEM, TO TAKE THEM ON, TO
CHANGE AMERICA.
>> Reporter: AND BESIDES ALL 
THAT, ADRIENNE, BESIDES THE 
MESSAGE FROM THIS GIANT CROWD 
OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE, A 
REBUKE TONIGHT, AN EXTRAORDINARY
REBUKE FROM DONALD TRUMP'S 
FORMER DEFENCE SECRETARY JAMES 
MATTIS.
I'M GOING TO READ IT TO YOU.
HE WROTE TONIGHT: "DONALD TRUMP 
IS THE FIRST PRESIDENT IN MY 
LIFETIME WHO DOES NOT TRY TO 
UNITE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHO 
DOESN'T EVEN PRETEND TO TRY."
HE SAYS "WE'RE WITNESSING THE 
CONSEQUENCE OF THREE YEARS 
WITHOUT MATURE LEADERSHIP."
AND JAMES MATTIS THEN LIKENS 
TRUMP'S ACTIONS LATELY, 
ADRIENNE, TO THOSE OF NAZI 
GERMANY.
REMARKABLE.
>> Adrienne: EXTRAORDINARY.
PAUL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Andrew: THIS IS THE NINTH 
NIGHT OF PROTESTS, BUT THE 
CROWDS ARE NOT DISSIPATING, AND 
NOW THAT MORE CHARGES HAVE BEEN 
LAID, FOR SOME THE FOCUS IS 
SHIFTING TO HOW ACTION ON THE 
STREETS CAN LEAD TO LASTING 
CHANGE.
LET'S HEAD TO STEVEN D'SOUZA IN 
NEW YORK.
STEVE, YOU'RE WITH ANOTHER GROUP
OF PROTESTERS THAT HAD A PLAN 
THAT POLICE THWARTED.
TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING.
>> Reporter: YEAH, SO ANDREW, 
THIS CROWD WANTED TO SEND THEIR 
MESSAGE DIRECTLY TO THE MAYOR.
THEY WENT TO HIS OFFICIAL 
RESIDENCE, BUT POLICE COMPLETELY
SURROUNDED IT.
THEY HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO 
GO TO THE MAYOR'S RESIDENCE, BUT
THE POLICE BLOCKED IT OFF.
NOW THEY ARE MARCHING THROUGH 
THE STREETS.
AS THEY MARCH THROUGH THESE 
CAVERNS OF APARTMENTS, PEOPLE 
HAVE BEEN BANGING POTS IN 
SUPPORT OF THEM.
THE RESOLVE IS STRONGER THAN 
EVER.
THERE ARE PROTESTS AND THEN 
THERE ARE MOVEMENTS.
WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE STREETS 
OF NEW YORK SHOWS NO SIGN OF 
SLOWING DOWN.
[ Crowd Noise ]
A MARCH LAST NIGHT STRETCHED AS 
FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.
>> AS LONG AS I CAN WALK, I'M 
GOING TO BE HERE.
>> Reporter: CORDEL WATTS HAS 
BEEN OUT EVERY DAY SINCE THE 
PROTESTS BEGAN. 
>> I FEEL LIKE IF I'M NOT HERE 
DOING MY PART, I CAN'T TALK 
LIBERATION, I CAN'T TALK BLACK 
LIVES MATTER. 
>> Reporter: EDITH CHASE CAME 
OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. 
>> I NEEDED TO ADD MY VOICE TO 
THE CONVERSATION. 
>> Reporter: THAT DESIRE TO BE 
HEARD CONTINUES TO BE EXPRESSED 
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
FROM PHILADELPHIA TO LOS ANGELES
TO MILWAUKEE AND DOZENS 
IN-BETWEEN.
WORD OF NEW CHARGES DID LITTLE 
TO SLOW THINGS DOWN TODAY.
TOO MANY HERE HAVE SEEN POLICE 
OFFICERS CHARGED, ONLY TO BE 
EXONERATED LATER.
>> WE SEE HISTORY BEING REPEATED
EACH AND EVERY TIME SOMETHING 
LIKE THIS HAPPENS.
AN ARREST IS NOT ENOUGH.
WE NEED YOU TO GO TO TRIAL.
WE NEED YOU TO BE SENTENCED.
AND WE NEED YOU TO GO TO JAIL.
AND WE WON'T -- I DON'T THINK WE
SHOULD STOP MARCHING UNTIL THOSE
THINGS HAPPEN.
>> AND I DON'T SAY STOP THE 
PROTESTS, NO.
THE PROTESTS MUST GO ON.
>> Reporter: BUT THE MARCH TO 
JUSTICE IS LONG AND DIFFICULT.
GWENN CARR KNOWS THAT BETTER 
THAN MOST.
HER SON, ERIC GARNER, DIED AFTER
HE WAS PUT IN A CHOKEHOLD IN AN 
-- DURING AN ARREST.
THE OFFICER INVOLVED WASN'T 
CHARGED AND WAS ONLY FIRED FIVE 
YEARS LATER AFTER MULTIPLE 
INVESTIGATIONS.
>> WE GOT TO WAKE UP AMERICA.
WE ALL LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE, 
BUT WE ARE TREATED DIFFERENTLY.
>> Reporter: SHE'S TRYING TO 
BUILD SUPPORT FOR NEW LAWS IN 
NEW YORK, TO MAKE CHOKEHOLDS 
ILLEGAL, BRING MORE TRANSPARENCY
AROUND WHO POLICE ARREST, AND 
MORE DISCLOSURE WHEN OFFICERS 
ARE ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT.
BUT LAWS AREN'T ALL PROTESTERS 
WANT CHANGED.
>> I JUST WANT US, YOU KNOW, AS 
COLOURED PEOPLE TO BE LOOKED AT 
THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE.
>> Reporter: SO THIS IS HOW 
NIGHT ENDED FOR MANY OF THE 
PROTESTERS.
AS YOU CAN SEE, A MASS ARREST IS
TAKING PLACE HERE.
WE HAVE TWO LARGE CORRECTION 
BUSES THERE THE ARRESTED PEOPLE 
ARE GOING TO BE PUT INTO -- 
MAYOR'S HOUSE THE MESSAGE IN 
PART OF CUTTING THE BUDGET OF 
THE NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THE MAYOR WAS ASKED ABOUT THAT 
EARLIER TODAY.
ANDREW?
>> Andrew: ALL RIGHT, STEVEN 
D'SOUZA IN NEW YORK FOR US 
TONIGHT.
THANKS.
>> Adrienne: AND THE OUTRAGE 
CONTINUES ITS GLOBAL SPREAD. 
IN CITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD 
PROTESTERS HAVE BEEN STREAMING 
INTO THE STREETS, SOME IN 
SOLIDARITY WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN THE U.S., AND SOME TO BRING 
ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEMS IN 
THEIR OWN COUNTRIES.
WE BEGIN WITH MARGARET EVANS IN 
LONDON.
>> Reporter: CENTRAL LONDON, 
STREETS EMPTIED THESE LONG WEEKS
BECAUSE OF COVID-19 TODAY FILLED
WITH GRIEF, OUTRAGE AND 
SOLIDARITY WITH GEORGE FLOYD.
>> HE COULD BE YOUR DAD.
HE COULD BE YOUR SON.
IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO HIM, IT 
CAN HAPPEN TO ANYBODY.
>> Reporter: THE OTHER MESSAGE 
CARRIED ON THE AIR HERE THAT 
BRITAIN IS FAR FROM IMMUNE TO 
RACISM.
>> THE SYSTEM IS ALL OVER THE 
WORLD.
THE FACT IS YOU CAN'T GO TO A 
SHOP WITHOUT BEING FOLLOWED 
AROUND THE STORE. 
>> Reporter: TODAY THE BRITISH 
PRIME MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON WAS
CRITICIZED BY OPPOSITION LEADERS
FOR FAILING TO COMMENT ON THE 
EVENTS ROCKING THE UNITED 
STATES.
>> BUT I DO HOPE THAT NEXT TIME 
HE SPEAKS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP HE 
WILL CONVEY TO HIM THE U.K.'S 
ABHORRENCE ABOUT HIS RESPONSE. 
>> AND AT THE VERY LEAST, PRIME 
MINISTER, SAY IT NOW.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
>> MR. SPEAKER, OF COURSE BLACK 
LIVES MATTER, AND I TOTALLY 
UNDERSTAND THE ANGER, THE GRIEF 
THAT IS FELT, NOT JUST IN 
AMERICA BUT AROUND THE WORLD, 
AND IN OUR COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: THE PROTESTS HERE 
COME A DAY AFTER A GOVERNMENT 
REPORT CONFIRMED THAT BLACK, 
ASIAN AND MINORITY ETHNIC GROUPS
ARE FAR MORE LIKELY TO DIE OF 
COVID-19 IN ENGLAND THAN WHITE 
PEOPLE.
BUT IT FAILED TO EXPLAIN WHY OR 
OFFER A SOLUTION.
>> THEY DIDN'T COME UP WITH A 
SINGLE RECOMMENDATION.
>> Reporter: ANALYSTS SAY IT'S 
NO SURPRISE GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATH
IS RESONATING AROUND THE WORLD.
>> THE REASON IT HAS CAPTURED 
THE HEARTS AND MINDS IS BECAUSE 
IT IS THE SAME FUNDAMENTAL 
ISSUE.
IT IS THE ISSUE THAT BLACK AND 
ETHNIC MINORITY PEOPLE ARE 
OVER-POLICED AND UNDER 
PROTECTED.
>> Reporter: MANY SAY THE 
PANDEMIC IS EXPOSING THE 
ENTRENCHED INEQUALITIES THAT 
PEOPLE CAME OUT TO PROTEST 
AGAINST TODAY.
>> AND IT'S VERY IRONIC THAT THE
PEOPLE DYING ARE USUALLY 
ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND ESSENTIAL 
WORKERS ARE BLACK.
MINORITY BLACK PEOPLE.
AND SO -- INCLUDING MY PARENTS. 
>> Reporter: IT IS NOT A LEGACY 
ONE GENERATION SHOULD BE ASKED 
TO HAND TO THE NEXT.
MARGARET EVANS, CBC NEWS, 
LONDON.
>> Adrienne: AND PROTESTS, OF 
COURSE, PLAYED OUT TODAY IN 
OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD, 
INCLUDING GREECE.
[ Crowd Noise ]
THAT VIOLENT SCENE OUTSIDE THE 
U.S. EMBASSY IN ATHENS.
DEMONSTRATORS THREW FLASH BOMBS 
TOWARDS RIOT POLICE.
THEY IN TURN FIRED TEAR GAS 
HOPING, IT SEEMS, TO DISPERSE 
THE ANGRY CROWD.
>> I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
TO SHOW SOME KIND OF SUPPORT, 
AND FOR ALL OF US TO STAND 
AGAINST SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW 
IS NOT RIGHT.
>> Adrienne: AND A SMALL BUT 
PASSIONATE CROWD IN CAPE TOWN.
THESE PROTESTERS STAGED A VERY 
PEACEFUL RALLY OUTSIDE SOUTH 
AFRICA'S PARLIAMENT.
SOME LEFT FLOWERS TO MARK GEORGE
FLOYD'S DEATH.
OTHERS CARRIED POSTERS. 
>> Andrew: OF COURSE THE KILLING
HAS AFFECTED CANADIANS AS WELL, 
AND AT THE CORE, THAT VIDEO, 
SHOWING THE OFFICER'S KNEE ON 
GEORGE FLOYD'S NECK.
SINCE THEN, OTHER VIDEOS HAVE 
EMERGED OF CANADIAN POLICE USING
SIMILAR MOVES.
RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN LOOKS AT A 
COUPLE OF THOSE CASES AND HOW 
THEY HAVE BEEN JUDGED.
>> IN PARTICULAR AT THIS TIME 
IT'S OUR BLACK AFRICAN CANADIAN 
COMMUNITY. 
>> Reporter: A MESSAGE OF 
SOLIDARITY FROM EDMONTON POLICE 
AFTER THE KILLING OF GEORGE 
FLOYD.
>> THEY'RE HURTING.
IT'S OUR JOB TO WALK SHOULDER TO
SHOULDER.
>> Reporter: BUT JUST HOURS 
APART, THIS VIDEO WENT ONLINE AS
WELL.
SIFA NGIZE FILMED IT AND POSTED 
IT.
THAT'S HER HUSBAND BEING 
IMMOBILIZED BY AN EDMONTON 
POLICE OFFICER.
SHE SAYS THE KNEE WAS ON HER 
HUSBAND'S NECK FOR FOUR MINUTES.
>> THE COP GOT SO MAD AND JUST 
SAID IF YOU DON'T LEAVE I'M 
GOING TO ARREST YOU.
>> Reporter: SHE SAID HE HAD 
JUST COME TO CHECK ON HER AFTER 
SHE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND 
DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE AFTER 
POLICE WERE ON SIGHT.
>> THAT DAY I FEAR FOR MY LIFE.
I WAS WORRIED FOR MY KIDS.
>> Reporter: THAT TYPE OF 
RESTRAINT JUST SHOULDN'T HAPPEN,
SAYS THIS FORMER POLICE CHIEF.
>> YOU DON'T NEED TO KNEEL ON 
THEM.
IF THEY ARE STRUGGLING IN SUCH A
WAY THAT THEY NEED TO BE FURTHER
RESTRAINED, YOU CAN ALWAYS PUT A
KNEE ON THEIR SHOULDER BLADE OR 
ON THE SHOULDER.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS CANADIAN 
POLICE HAVE MOVED AWAY FROM THE 
TECHNIQUE BECAUSE IT'S 
DANGEROUS.
THE RCMP SAYS IT DOESN'T ALLOW 
IT.
MONTREAL POLICE REFERRED US TO A
COLLEGE TRAINING PROGRAM, SAYING
IT COULDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION 
TODAY.
BUT IN ONTARIO . . . 
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> Reporter: THIS VIDEO WAS 
TAKEN A YEAR AGO.
>> GET OFF OF HIM. 
>> Reporter: AN OVERSIGHT BODY 
CLEARED THIS POLICE OFFICER'S 
USE OF FORCE, AND THREE YEARS 
AGO IT CITED AN EARLIER 
CORONER'S INQUEST RECOMMENDATION
RE-REINFORCE THROUGH REGULAR AND
REFRESHER TRAINING THE RISK OF
DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF
NECK RESTRAINT TECHNIQUES. 
>> I SENT A COMPLAINT IN RIGHT 
THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T 
SLEEP.
>> Reporter: IN THE EDMONTON 
CASE, POLICE SAY THEY ONLY 
RESTRAINED THE MAN WHEN HE 
REFUSED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE 
SCENE, AND THE ONLY OFFICER 
DISCIPLINE WAS FOR PROFANITY 
USED DURING THE ARREST.
BUT EDMONTON POLICE SAY THEY DO 
NOT TRAIN THEIR OFFICERS TO 
PLACE A KNEE ON SOMEONE'S NECK.
SMALL COMFORT IN THIS CASE. 
>> THAT GUY WAS COMING TO HURT 
ME. 
>> Reporter: RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN,
CBC NEWS, EDMONTON.
>> Adrienne: LET'S TURN NOW TO 
THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
CANADA HAS MORE THAN 93,000 
CASES.
ONTARIO REPORTED MORE THAN 300 
NEW INFECTIONS TODAY.
THAT IS THE HIGHEST INCREASE IN 
THE COUNTRY.
ROUGHLY HALF CAME FROM THE 
TORONTO AREA, WHICH IS STILL 
SEEING AN AVERAGE OF 150 NEW 
CASES A DAY.
QUEBEC FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND 
WITH JUST UNDER 300 NEW 
INFECTIONS.
>> Andrew: WE ARE STARTING TO 
GET SOLID EVIDENCE ON WHETHER AN
ANTI-MALARIA DRUG CAN BE USED TO
HELP COVID PATIENTS.
THE FIRST CAREFULLY CONTROLLED 
STUDY INVOLVING 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE HAS JUST BEEN
RELEASED AND THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION IS RESUMING ITS OWN
CLINICAL TRIAL.
CHRISTINE BIRAK HAS THAT STORY.
>> Reporter: QUESTIONS 
SURROUNDING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE 
ARE DIZZYING.
DOES THE DRUG HELP PREVENT 
COVID-19?
CAN IT BE USED AS A TREATMENT?
OR IS IT KILLING SICK PATIENTS?
>> I THINK THAT WE FINALLY HAVE 
THE TYPE OF EVIDENCE THAT WE 
WERE LOOKING FOR TO ANSWER ONE 
OF THE MAIN QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: CANADIAN SCIENTISTS
CO-LED A STUDY EXAMINING WHETHER
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE IS 
PROTECTIVE.
THE TRIAL INCLUDED MORE THAN 800
ASYMPTOMATIC ADULTS WHO HAD COME
IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH A COVID-19
PATIENT.
ABOUT 100 PARTICIPANTS DEVELOPED
THE DISEASE.
NEARLY HALF HAD BEEN GIVEN 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE.
THE OTHER HALF, A PLACEBO.
THE DRUG DIDN'T APPEAR TO 
PROTECT ANYONE, BUT IT ALSO 
WASN'T HARMFUL. 
>> FROM HERE WE STILL DON'T KNOW
IF WE CAN GIVE THE MEDICATION AS
TREATMENT, EITHER IN THE 
COMMUNITY OR IN THE HOSPITAL.
THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT 
REMAIN TO BE ANSWERED. 
>> President Donald Trump: A 
COUPLE WEEKS AGO I STARTED 
TAKING IT.
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOOD.
I'VE HEARD A LOT OF GOOD 
STORIES. 
>> Reporter: DESPITE THE LACK OF
SUPPORTING SCIENCE, DONALD TRUMP
REVEALED IN MID MAY HE WAS 
TAKING THE MALARIA DRUG TO 
PROTECT AGAINST THE CORONAVIRUS.
THEN A STUDY PUBLISHED IN A 
LEADING MEDICAL JOURNAL 
SUGGESTED HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE WAS
POTENTIALLY DEADLY FOR SEVERELY 
ILL COVID-19 PATIENTS, A STUDY 
SO CONCERNING THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION PAUSED A MAJOR 
CLINICAL TRIAL.
THE JOURNAL NOW ACKNOWLEDGES 
THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THAT 
DATA, AND TOP SCIENTISTS ARE 
CALLING FOR A RETRACTION.
>> THE LEVEL OF CONFUSION OUT 
THERE IN THE PUBLIC IS NOT 
SURPRISING BECAUSE THEY ARE 
GETTING THESE CRAZY MESSAGES. 
>> Reporter: DR. MICHAEL HILL 
HAD ALSO PAUSED HIS STUDY 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AS A 
TREATMENT FOR COVID-19.
>> I HOPE WE GET STRONGER AND 
STRONGER OVERSIGHT OF THE 
SCIENCE, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT 
HAPPENS NEXT. 
>> Reporter: IN THIS PANDEMIC, 
THE SPEED OF QUALITY SCIENCE 
CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE RUSH FOR 
ANSWERS.
BUT SCIENTISTS INSIST THEY ARE 
COMING.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: THERE ARE GROWING 
CALLS TONIGHT FOR A PUBLIC 
INQUIRY INTO THAT HORRIFIC MASS 
SHOOTING IN NOVA SCOTIA.
>> YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO STOP
WHAT HAPPENED IN OUR COMMUNITY, 
BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE ON AS
LONG AS IT DID. 
>> Adrienne: NEXT THIS SURVIVOR 
SHARES HIS STORY AND JOINS 
OTHERS DEMANDING ANSWERS.
>> Andrew: AND LATER, INSIDE 
RUSSIA'S SECRET UNDERGROUND BARS
AND GYMS, WHERE PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING RULES DON'T APPLY.
>> Adrienne: AND TIRED OF ALL 
THOSE VIRTUAL MEETINGS AND VIDEO
CALLS?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 
>> I DO FEEL LIKE EVERY TIME I 
GOT OFF OF A ZOOM CALL I HAD TO 
GO LIE DOWN. 
>> Adrienne: COMBATTING ZOOM 
FATIGUE.
WE'RE BACK IN TWO.
>> Adrienne: SIX WEEKS AFTER 
GABRIEL WORTMAN KILLED 22 PEOPLE
IN RURAL NOVA SCOTIA, THE 
COMMUNITY IS STILL HAUNTED BY 
SOME BIG UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, 
INCLUDING WHY SO MANY WERE LEFT 
IN THE DARK ABOUT WHAT WAS 
HAPPENING AS THE HORROR UNFOLDED
AROUND THEM.
KAYLA HOUNSELL NOW WITH THE 
GROWING CALL FOR A PUBLIC 
INQUIRY.
>> GET A STICK!
>> Reporter: THIS IS HOW LEON 
JOUDREY SPENDS HIS TIME THESE 
DAYS.
HE SAYS HE CAN'T GO BACK TO 
PORTAPIQUE.
HE WAS THERE AS THE MASS 
SHOOTING UNFOLDED, DRAWN OUT OF 
HIS HOME BY THE FIRES SET BY THE
GUNMAN, WHOSE GIRLFRIEND LATER 
CAME BANGING ON JOUDREY'S DOOR.
HE CALLED 911.
>> THEY TOOK HER AND I WENT BACK
TO MY HOUSE.
THEY DIDN'T TAKE ME WITH THEM OR
TELL ME ANYBODY WAS MURDERED.
THEY DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING.
THEY JUST LEFT ME THERE.
>> Reporter: JOUDREY IS JOINING 
FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE 22 PEOPLE 
KILLED IN DEMANDING A PUBLIC 
INQUIRY. 
>> THERE'S A LOT OF UNKNOWNS 
QUESTIONS OUT THERE THAT WE 
DESERVE TO KNOW AS FAMILY.
>> COULD BE A UNIQUE AND NEW 
APPROACH.
>> Reporter: NOVA SCOTIA'S 
JUSTICE MINISTER SAYS THERE WILL
BE A REVIEW BUT WOULDN'T COMMIT 
TO A PUBLIC INQUIRY.
>> WE FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEAD.
WE WILL BE A JOINT PARTNER.
>> Reporter: WHY CAN'T YOU CALL 
A PUBLIC INQUIRY?
>> I ACTUALLY CAN.
I HAVE THAT AUTHORITY UNDER THE 
PROVINCIAL MUNICIPALITY 
INVESTIGATIONS ACT.
>> Reporter: SO WHY AREN'T YOU?
>> IT'S LIMITED IN SCOPE.
IT WOULD ONLY BE BINDING ON 
PROVINCIAL JURISDICTION.
>> Reporter: FUREY SAYS BECAUSE 
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVERSEES 
THE RCMP AND CBSA, THE PROVINCE 
COULDN'T COMPEL THEM AS 
WITNESSES. 
>> OUR VIEW IS THAT THAT IS, IN 
FACT, NOT ACCURATE. 
>> Reporter: THIS PROFESSOR IS 
AMONG 34 FROM DALHOUSIE 
UNIVERSITY'S LAW SCHOOL WHO HAVE
PENNED AN OPEN LETTER SAYING THE
PROVINCE IS, IN FACT, BEST 
POSITIONED TO CALL THE INQUIRY. 
>> CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY FOR 
THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE 
RESTS IN THE PROVINCIAL 
GOVERNMENT.
IT'S TRUE THAT THERE ARE FEDERAL
AGENCIES INVOLVED HERE, BUT THEY
ARE ONLY ONE PART OF THIS 
PICTURE. 
>> Reporter: LEON JOUDREY SAYS 
HE IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, BUT HE 
HAS SO MANY QUESTIONS. 
>> YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO STOP
WHAT HAPPENED IN OUR COMMUNITY, 
BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE WENT ON AS
LONG AS IT DID. 
>> Reporter: REGARDLESS OF WHO 
TAKES THE LEAD, TODAY THE 
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAID IT IS 
WORKING WITH THE PROVINCE AND 
VERY CLOSE TO IMPLEMENTING SOME 
KIND OF REVIEW.
WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE AND WHEN 
IT WILL HAPPEN, NO ONE WILL SAY.
KAYLA HOUNSELL, CBC NEWS, 
HALIFAX.
>> Andrew: SOME OTHER STORIES 
WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT ON "THE 
NATIONAL."
>> WHILE WE WERE ABLE TO RECOVER
REMAINS OF SOME OF OUR FALLEN, 
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE 
HAVE NOT YET IDENTIFIED THESE 
REMAINS.
>> Andrew: OFFICIALS HAVE ENDED 
THE RECOVERY OPERATION FOR THE 
CYCLONE HELICOPTER THAT WENT 
DOWN OFF THE COAST OF GREECE IN 
APRIL AFTER PARTS OF THE 
WRECKAGE ALONG WITH HUMAN 
REMAINS WERE RETRIEVED.
ALL SIX CANADIAN FORCES MEMBERS 
ON-BOARD WERE KILLED.
>>> BRITISH POLICE SAY THEY HAVE
A NEW SUSPECT IN THE 
DISAPPEARANCE OF MADELEINE 
McCANN, THE 3-YEAR-OLD WHO 
VANISHED FROM A PORTUGUESE 
RESORT IN 2007, SPARKING AN 
INTERNATIONAL SEARCH.
OFFICIALS ARE APPEALING FOR 
INFORMATION ON A GERMAN MAN WHO 
IS CURRENTLY IMPRISONED ON AN 
UNRELATED MATTER.
>> THERE MIGHT BE PEOPLE IN THE 
PAST WHO HAD BEEN QUITE FEARFUL 
OF COMING FORWARD TO THE POLICE.
MY MESSAGE IS TO ANYBODY THAT 
HAS INFORMATION, THIS IS A GOOD 
TIME TO COME FORWARD.
>> Andrew: POLICE SAY THE MAN 
TRAVELLED AROUND PORTUGAL IN A 
CAMPER VAN AND WAS IN THE AREA 
WHERE McCANN WAS LAST SEEN.
>>> LOOK AT THAT.  
TORRENTIAL RAINS AND STRONG 
WINDS BATTERED PARTS OF INDIA AS
CYCLONE NISARGA MADE LANDFALL ON
THE COUNTRY'S WEST COAST.
ONE DEATH REPORTED AND THE 
EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE STILL BEING
ASSESSED, BUT OFFICIALS SAY 
THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE AS 
THE EYE OF THE STORM NARROWLY 
MISSED MUMBAI, HOME TO MORE THAN
18 MILLION PEOPLE.
>> Adrienne: NEXT, WE TAKE YOU 
INSIDE A SECRET UNDERGROUND 
WORLD WHERE PHYSICAL DISTANCING 
RULES DON'T APPLY.
NO MASKS, CROWDED SPACES, AND A 
COUNTRY BATTLING ONE OF THE 
WORST OUTBREAKS IN THE WORLD.
>>> MUST BE EXHAUSTING.
>> I JUST WANT TO VEGETATE 
ALMOST AND LIE THERE. 
>> Andrew: AND YOU'RE NOT ALONE 
IF YOU'RE SICK OF ALL THOSE 
VIRTUAL MEETINGS.
WE'LL LOOK AT ZOOM FATIGUE AND 
HOW TO AVOID IT, A LITTLE LATER.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS 
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT HOW THE 
COVID PANDEMIC IS PLAYING OUT 
AROUND THE WORLD AND WHAT IT 
MEANS FOR CANADIANS ABROAD, LIKE
DAVE KIM.
HE'S ORIGINALLY FROM SOUTHERN 
ONTARIO, BUT HE NOW LIVES IN 
SOUTH KOREA, AND HE TALKS 
TONIGHT ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE 
THERE IN OUR PANDEMIC DIARY.
>> MY NAME IS DAVE KIM.
I'M ORIGINALLY FROM ONTARIO.
I'VE BEEN LIVING IN SOUTH KOREA 
FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
>> THAT IS THE NEW NORMAL.
EVERYTHING IS ONLINE.
THE PIZZA IS HERE.
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME POLICIES 
THEY IMPLEMENTED OVER THE LAST 
TWO OR THREE MONTHS.
THESE ARE GOVERNMENT PUBLIC 
SAFETY ALERTS WE GET ON OUR 
PHONE EVERY DAY.
THESE BOARDS I CHECK EVERY DAY 
TO SEE -- EVERY DAY.
THERE HAS BEEN A BIT OF 
CONTROVERSY OVER TARGETED 
INFORMATION LEAKING OUT THROUGH 
THESE TRACKINGS.
THERE WAS A SECOND WAVE IN EARLY
MAY OVER A LONG WEEKEND.
SOME PEOPLE GOT INFECTED IN 
SEOUL AND IT SPREAD ALL AROUND 
THE NATION.
I THINK EVERYONE HAS TO WRITE 
DOWN THEIR PHONE NUMBER AND 
CONTACT PERSON WITH THEIR NAME.
A LOT OF THOSE WERE MULTIPLIED, 
SO THE GOVERNMENT HAD TO 
BACKTRACK TO FIND WHERE THEY 
WERE.
FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, OBVIOUSLY.
I ALSO AM ON AN EXPAT HOCKEY 
TEAM AND SOCCER TEAM.
WE STARTED THE FIRST GAME 
YESTERDAY IN THREE MONTHS.
WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO WEAR A 
MASK.
I TRIED TO WEAR A MASK.
THAT LASTED ABOUT 30 MINUTES.
EVERYONE JUST KIND OF HAS TO 
HAVE A TRUST WITH EACH OTHER.
I THINK IT'S SAFE ENOUGH.
THE GOVERNMENT IS LETTING US DO 
IT.
WE'RE GOING BY THE RULES FOR 
NOW.
>> Adrienne: AS LONG AS RUSSIA 
HAS BEEN RULED BY HEAVY HANDS, 
THERE'S BEEN NO SHORTAGE OF 
THOSE DEFYING RESTRICTIONS.
THIS PANDEMIC IS NO EXCEPTION 
WITH A BLACK MARKET OF BARS, 
GYMS AND OTHER SERVICES 
AVAILABLE TO THOSE IN THE KNOW.
CHRIS BROWN SHOWS US.

>> Reporter: IT'S A DESERTED 
NIGHT IN ST. PETERSBURG, THE 
CITY UNDER A TOUGH COVID 
LOCKDOWN, BUT IF YOU KNOW WHERE 
TO GO . . . 
*
YOU CAN ENTER A CLANDESTINE 
WORLD WHERE CONCEPTS SUCH AS 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING DO NOT 
APPLY.
IT'S A SCENE RIGHT OUT OF 1920S 
CHICAGO UNDER PROHIBITION.
>> NO CUSTOMERS.
NO MONEY.
>> Reporter: BAR OWNER SIDNEY 
FISHER SAYS WITH ONLY ANAEMIC 
SUPPORT FROM RUSSIA'S 
GOVERNMENT, MANY BUSINESSES AND 
WORKERS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN TO 
BREAK RUSSIA'S QUARANTINE.
>> IN RUSSIA, THAT'S MOST CLEAR 
THAT THEY NOT GONNA SUPPORT THE 
SMALL BUSINESSES.
THE STATE IS NOT INTERESTED IN 
THAT.
SO I'M NOT WAITING FOR ANY 
SUPPORT.
>> Reporter: OUR RUSSIAN CREW 
WAS ALLOWED TO TAG ALONG INTO 
SEVERAL UNDERGROUND BARS WHERE 
SECRET KNOCKS AND SECRET 
PASSWORDS OPENED THE DOORS.
>> YES, IF A POLICEMAN WILL COME
HERE, WE WILL HAVE A BIG 
PROBLEM.
BUT IF WE DON'T DO THIS BAR, IT 
WILL BE ANOTHER BAR AND WITH OUR
CLIENTS.
OUR CLIENTS.
>> Reporter: THIS CLEARLY IS HOW
TO MAKE THE SPREAD OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS WORSE.
NO MASKS AND VERY CROWDED 
SPACES.
>> [Speaking Foreign Language].
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT JUST BARS 
FINDING A WAY AROUND THE 
COUNTRY'S LOCKDOWN.
THIS GYM IS OPERATING COVERTLY 
TOO.
RUSSIA IS ONE OF THE TOP 
COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD FOR 
CORONAVIRUS CASES
CUSTOMERS REFER TO THE 
RESTRICTIONS -- 
>> I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IN 
THIS COVID HISTORY, SO I THINK 
IT'S A GOOD POINT FOR US TO 
STRENGTHEN OUR BODY HERE IN THIS
GYM.
>> Reporter: CLANDESTINE 
BUSINESSES ARE OPERATING IN THE 
CAPITAL, MOSCOW, TOO.
THIS IS AN ILLEGAL HAIR SALON.
THIS WOMAN SAYS PEOPLE NEED TO 
START FEELING NORMAL AGAIN, NO 
MATTER THE HEALTH RISKS THAT 
COME WITH THAT
>> PSYCHOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP 
LIVING, TO FEEL YOURSELF ALIVE, 
AND TO EXPECT SOMETHING NEW AND 
SOMETHING BETTER.
*
>> Reporter: OF COURSE RUSSIANS 
HAVE A DEEPLY INGRAINED CULTURE 
OF GETTING AROUND GOVERNMENT 
RESTRICTIONS AND FENDING FOR 
THEMSELVES.
IT WAS HONED FOR DECADES UNDER 
COMMUNISM WHEN A BLACK MARKET 
TRADE IN BANNED CONSUMER GOODS 
RISED.
>> WE HAVE OPPOSITION TO THE 
POWER, AND WE HAVE THE 
SPECIAL -- FOR THESE KINDS OF 
-- SPECIAL TEMPERATURE FOR THESE
KINDS OF PEOPLE.
IT'S LIKE COVID DISSIDENT.
>> THE THING IS IN RUSSIA YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO BE SCREWED BECAUSE 
YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SCREWED JUST 
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE 
SCREWED.
ANY TIME YOU COULD BE SCREWED.
YES, I'M SCARED OF THAT.
YES, I'M . . . 
>> Reporter: JUST HOW WIDESPREAD
THESE COVERT BUSINESSES ARE IS 
HARD TO TELL, BUT LOCAL RUSSIAN 
MEDIA REPORTS THERE ARE BUSTS 
EVERY WEEKEND.
THE CALCULATION APPEARS TO BE 
THAT THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES 
OF STAYING CLOSED ARE WORSE THAN
THE HEALTH RISKS OR EVEN THE 
RISK OF GOING TO JAIL.
CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: HERE AT HOME, 
COVID-19 HAS NOW TAKEN THE LIVES
OF MORE THAN 7500 PEOPLE.
CBC NEWS IS TELLING SOME OF 
THEIR STORIES IN OUR SERIES 
"LIVES REMEMBERED."
TONIGHT IT'S A WOMAN IN NIAGARA 
FALLS, ONTARIO, DEVOTED TO 
KEEPING ALIVE THE BLACK HISTORY 
OF HER REGION.
AYODELE ADEWUMI REMEMBERS HIS 
FRIEND WILMA MORRISON.
>> MY NAME IS AYODELE ADEWUMI, 
AND I AM A FRIEND TO WILMA 
MORRISON WHO DIED OF COVID-19 
APRIL 23, 2020, AT THE AGE OF 91
YEARS.
SHE WAS A MENTOR.
SHE WAS A TEACHER, AND SHE WAS A
GREAT HISTORIAN.
GROWING UP AS A BLACK PERSON IN 
CANADA, SHE NEVER REALLY FELT 
QUITE ACCEPTED.
SHE LEFT HIGH SCHOOL IN 1947 AND
ATTEMPTED TO GET INTO THE 
TEACHERS COLLEGE, BUT THAT NEVER
HAPPENED.
NEXT SHE WANTED TO BECOME A 
NURSE, BUT IT WAS THE SAME 
STORY.
THEY WEREN'T ACCEPTING BLACK 
PEOPLE, SO NOT UNTIL 1968 WHEN 
SHE WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE 
SCHOOL NOT AS A NURSE BUT AS A 
STAMP NURSE.
WILMA WAS A SELFLESS WOMAN WHO 
FOUGHT PASSIONATELY FOR THE 
PRESERVATION OF BLACK HISTORY IN
CANADA.
SHE SINGLE HANDEDLY FOUGHT FOR 
THE PRESERVATION OF THE CHURCH 
RIGHT BEHIND ME AND MADE SURE 
THE CHURCH GOT DESIGNATED AS A 
NATIONAL HERITAGE SITE, WHICH 
WAS A GREAT FEAT, BECAUSE THE 
CHURCH IS THE ONLY EVIDENCE OF 
BLACK PEOPLE BEING AROUND HERE 
FOR OVER 200 YEARS.
WILMA WAS OF THE OPINION THAT IF
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE COMING
FROM, IT'S DIFFICULT FOR US TO 
KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING TO.
I SEE WILMA AS THE HERITAGE TOP 
MAN OF OUR ERA, AND THE TOP MAN 
OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE STATES TO
CANADA, BUT WILMA TOLD THE STORY
OF THE PEOPLE.
FOR SOMEBODY TO COME FROM SUCH A
HUMBLE BACKGROUND AND MAKE 
SOMETHING OUT OF THEMSELVES, 
THAT'S A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.
WILMA WILL BE REALLY, REALLY 
MISSED.
THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS WHO IS 
GOING TO STEP INTO HER SHOES 
BECAUSE SHE'S LEFT HUGE SHOES TO
BE FILLED.
*
*
>> Andrew: WILMA MORRISON, ONE 
OF SO MANY CANADIAN LIVES LOST 
TO COVID-19.
IF YOU ALSO LOST A LOVED ONE AND
WANT TO SHARE THEIR STORY, YOU 
CAN SEND US A NOTE.
COVID@cbc.ca.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> Adrienne: SINCE THE GEORGE 
FLOYD PROTESTS BEGAN, A NUMBER 
OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS HAVE 
POPPED UP SHOWING PILES OF 
BRICKS.
NOW SOME CLAIM THEY WERE STAGED 
TO BAIT DEMONSTRATORS INTO 
VIOLENCE.
OTHERS CLAIM THE PROTESTERS WERE
GOING TO USE THEM TO ATTACK 
POLICE.
KATIE NICHOLSON LOOKED INTO 
WHETHER THE POSTS ARE BEING USED
TO MISINFORM.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT JUST 
BRICKS.
ACCUSATIONS ARE ALSO BEING 
HURLED ABOUT WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THIS DESTRUCTION.
ON MONDAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP 
PUSHED THE IDEA THAT OUTSIDE 
AGITATORS WERE BEHIND MUCH OF 
THE CONFLICT.
>> President Donald Trump: OUR 
NATION HAS BEEN GRIPPED BY 
PROFESSIONAL ANARCHISTS, VIOLENT
MOBS, ARSONISTS, CRIMINALS, 
LOOTERS, RIOTERS, ANTIFA AND 
OTHERS.
>> Reporter: TODAY THE WHITE 
HOUSE DOUBLED DOWN ON THAT IDEA,
GOING SO FAR AS TO SUGGEST 
ACTIVISTS AND PROFESSIONAL 
ANARCHISTS ARE INVADING OUR 
COMMUNITIES, STAGING BRICKS AND 
WEAPONS TO INSTIGATE VIOLENCE.
THAT POST AND ITS ACCOMPANYING 
VIDEO WAS TAKEN DOWN, AND WITH 
GOOD REASON.
>> THIS IS ALL UNFOUNDED.
>> Reporter: THIS INVESTIGATIVE 
RESEARCHER SAYS THAT HASN'T 
STOPPED MISMONGERS FROM BLAMING 
EVERYONE FROM UNDERCOVER POLICE 
TO THE FAR RIGHT TO ANTIFA TO 
THE FAR LEFT FOR PLANTING BRICKS
TO GOAD PROTESTERS INTO 
VIOLENCE. 
>> I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
THAT PEOPLE DON'T POINT FINGERS 
AT THIS TIME WHEN WE DON'T HAVE 
THE FACT CHECKING AND THE 
CORRECT INFORMATION.
>> Reporter: BUT BRICK BY BRICK,
FACT CHECKERS ARE GETTING TO THE
BOTTOM OF THESE POSTS.
LIKE THIS VIDEO IN LOS ANGELES.
>> I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
THAT DON'T LOOK RIGHT TO ME.
>> Reporter: A JEWISH COMMUNITY 
CENTRE CLARIFIED IT PLACED THEM 
THERE TO PROTECT ITS PROPERTY.
>> SOME RANDOM ASS BRICKS, BRO.
AIN'T NO CONSTRUCTION. 
>> Reporter: AND THESE, NOT SO 
RANDOM.
VIDEO EVIDENCE SHOWS THEY WERE 
THERE BEFORE GEORGE FLOYD WAS 
KILLED.
>> BUT EVEN AS THE WHITE HOUSE 
ACCOUNT CHECKED ON THAT VIDEO, 
THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE.
THEY HAVE AMPLIFIED CONSPIRACY 
THEORIES THROUGH THIS VIDEO AND 
THROUGH POSTING IT ON THE 
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE ACCOUNT.
>> Reporter: CBC NEWS ASKED WHY 
IT POSTED THOSE CLAIMS AND WHY 
IT REMOVED THEM.
THE WHITE HOUSE DID NOT RESPOND.
KATIE NICHOLSON, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO. 
>> Andrew: NEXT, IT'S BECOME A 
NECESSITY WITH SO MANY PEOPLE 
WORKING FROM HOME DURING THE 
PANDEMIC, EXHAUSTING TOO.
>> EVERY TIME I GOT OFF OF A 
ZOOM CALL, I HAD TO GO LIE DOWN.
>> Andrew: TIRED OF ALL THE 
VIDEO CALLS?
ZOOM FATIGUE IS REAL.
HOW YOU CAN AVOID IT, NEXT.
>> Andrew: SINCE THE START OF 
THE PANDEMIC, VIDEO CONFERENCING
HAS BECOME PART OF OUR NEW 
NORMAL, FROM PARLIAMENT TO YOUR 
HOME OFFICE.
IT'S CHANGED HOW WE WORK, HOW WE
PLAY, EVEN HOW WE WORK OUT.
>> YOU GO BANANAS.
>> Andrew: MILESTONES ARE 
CELEBRATED VIRTUALLY. 
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
*
>> Andrew: GOING TO A CONCERT 
NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS.
*
>> AND THE SAME THING IS TRUE --
>> Andrew: AND TALK SHOW 
AUDIENCES HAVE GONE FROM THE 
STUDIO TO THE ZOOM SCREEN, BUT 
ALL THAT SCREEN TIME SPENT VIDEO
CONFERENCING CAN TAKE A TOLL.
AND IF YOUR NEW VIRTUAL ROUTINE 
IS LEAVING YOU FEELING DRAINED, 
YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
THOMAS DAIGLE EXPLAINS. 
>> YOU GOT ME?
>> Reporter: ANYONE WORKING FROM
HOME HAS LIKELY HEARD THAT.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?
>> Reporter: STEPHEN KOHLENBERG 
SURE HAS SINCE TURNING HIS 
LIVING SPACE INTO OFFICE SPACE. 
>> MY WATER, MY PODCAST 
MICROPHONE. 
>> Reporter: WE REACHED HIM FOR 
ONE OF HIS HALF DOZEN DAILY 
VIDEO MEETINGS. 
>> THOSE ARE BETWEEN 30 MINUTES 
AND AN HOUR, AND THAT'S A GOOD 
DAY.
SOME DAYS IF I LOOK AT MY 
CALENDAR, IT'S BEEN LIKE EIGHT 
OR NINE TIMES A DAY. 
>> Reporter: IT MUST BE 
EXHAUSTING. 
>> I JUST WANT TO VEGETATE 
ALMOST AND LIE THERE. 
>> Reporter: WHAT HE'S FEELING 
HAS BECOME KNOWN AS ZOOM 
FATIGUE, A TYPE OF MENTAL STRAIN
THAT CAN COME FROM ANY VIDEO 
CONFERENCING.
JUDY LEE GETS IT TOO.
EVER SINCE THE PANDEMIC HAS KEPT
HER INSIDE, AWAY FROM HER USUAL 
IN-PERSON MEETINGS. 
>> I DO FEEL LIKE EVERY TIME I 
GOT OFF OF A ZOOM CALL, I HAD TO
GO LIE DOWN.
>> Reporter: BACK-TO-BACK 
MEETINGS CAN BE TIRING, SO WHAT 
MAKES VIDEO CHATS WORSE?
WHEN THAT WEBCAM LIGHT TURNS ON,
EXPERTS SAY THE PRESSURE TO 
PERFORM KICKS IN.
PLUS, SEEING YOURSELF STARING 
BACK AT YOU ONLY MAKES THINGS 
WORSE.
>> IT'S REALLY HARD NOT TO BE 
SELF-CONSCIOUS AND KEEP LOOKING 
BACK UP AT THAT CORNER OF THE 
SCREEN WHERE YOU'RE SEEING 
YOURSELF.
THE OTHER THING IS WE'RE NOT 
USED TO STARING AT PEOPLE 
INTENTLY WITH EYE CONTACT.
>> Reporter: THAT'S WHY IT CAN 
BE SO UNCOMFORTABLE HAVING SO 
MANY COLLEAGUES ALL STARING BACK
AT YOU ALL AT THE SAME TIME, 
EACH IN THEIR OWN LITTLE BOX, IN
WHAT SOME CALL HOLLYWOOD SQUARES
MODE.
>> TOM BERGERON, YOUR HOST, ALL 
ON HOLLYWOOD SQUARES!
>> Reporter: YES, IT CAN BE MUCH
LESS FUN THAN THAT OLD GAME 
SHOW.
SO EXPERTS SUGGEST TURNING OFF 
YOUR CAMERA IF YOU'RE JUST 
LISTENING, OR FINDING ANOTHER 
WAY TO CHAT ALL TOGETHER.
>> WE'RE ASSUMING WE NEED TO 
HAVE ZOOM MEETINGS.
HOWEVER MAYBE WE NEED TO BE 
DOING SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD.
>> I'M GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU. 
>> Reporter: JUDY LEE FOUND A 
LOW TECH SOLUTION.
PICKING UP THE PHONE MORE OFTEN.
>> WHAT I DID BEFORE THIS WHOLE 
PANDEMIC THING HAPPENED, AND SO 
I THINK I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO 
THAT.
>> THAT'S WONDERFUL. 
>> Reporter: THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC 
NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: WHEN WE COME BACK, 
A SPECIAL ESSAY FROM CANADIAN 
AUTHOR LAWRENCE HILL.
BUT FIRST, HOW GEORGE FLOYD'S 
DAUGHTER IS PAYING TRIBUTE TO 
HER DAD.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> DADDY CHANGED THE WORLD.
>> Adrienne: DADDY CHANGED THE 
WORLD.
YOU CAN IMAGINE THOSE WORDS FROM
6-YEAR-OLD 
* [upbeat]
>> ALL THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
ALL THE WORLD IS WATCHING!
>> Adrienne: AND FOR MORE THAN A
WEEK NOW, WHAT THE WORLD HAS 
BEEN WATCHING IS A SEISMIC SHIFT
IN A RACIAL TENSION THAT'S 
DIVIDED THE UNITED STATES FOR 
DECADES, IF NOT CENTURIES.
SCENES LIKE THAT ARE DISTURBING 
TO CANADIANS, BUT ESPECIALLY TO 
THOSE WHO LIVE THE BLACK 
EXPERIENCE.
WRITER LAWRENCE HILL SHARES HIS 
OPINION IN AN ESSAY FOR "THE 
NATIONAL."
WE BEGIN WITH A BIT OF AN 
INTRODUCTION.
>> IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
IT'S JUST A LOVELY RECOGNITION.
IT'S A WAY OF THE COUNTRY 
TELLING ME, YOU KNOW, WE LOVE 
YOU AND THANKS FOR A GOOD JOB, 
AND IT JUST MAKES ME MORE SORT 
OF GROUNDED AND DETERMINED TO 
KEEP ON GOING.
>> Adrienne: THAT'S LAWRENCE 
HILL ON BEING HONOURED WITH THE 
ORDER OF CANADA.
THE SON OF A BLACK FATHER AND A 
WHITE MOTHER, HE GREW UP IN A 
PREDOMINANTLY WHITE SUBURB OF 
TORONTO.
MUCH OF HIS WRITING TOUCHES ON 
THE ISSUES OF IDENTITY AND 
BELONGING.
HE'S THE AUTHOR OF TEN BOOKS, 
MANY OF THEM AWARD WINNERS.
IN 2015, ONE OF THEM, "THE BOOK 
OF NEGROES" WAS TURNED INTO AN 
ACCLAIMED CBC MINI SERIES.
>> NOVA SCOTIA, NOT LONDON?
>> NOVA SCOTIA IS A BRITISH 
COLONY. 
>> IN THIS NOVA SCOTIA, WILL WE 
BE FREE?
>> Adrienne: LAWRENCE HILL IS AN
IMPORTANT VOICE IN CANADA, AND 
HE'S GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO ALL
OF US.
>> I'M LAWRENCE HILL IN 
HAMILTON.
MY PARENTS WERE AMERICANS, WHO 
MARRIED IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH IN
1953 AND LEFT THE NEXT DAY FOR 
CANADA.
THEY SPENT THEIR LIVES IN THE 
HUMAN RIGHTS AND BLACK HISTORY 
MOVEMENTS.
MOST OF MY FAMILY STILL LIVES IN
THE UNITED STATES.
[ Chanting ].
WHY HAS GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATH 
IGNITED SUCH HORROR AND PROTEST?
WE SAW IT ON VIDEO.
IT'S A MODERN-DAY LYNCHING OF A 
BLACK MAN BY A WHITE COP.
THE MURDER IS A CULMINATION OF A
PERFECT STORM.
OUR TWO COUNTRIES WERE BUILT ON 
THE IMMORAL FOUNDATIONS OF 
SLAVERY AND SEGREGATION.
IN 2015, WE WITNESSED THE 
KILLING OF NINE BLACK PEOPLE WHO
WERE ENGAGED IN BIBLE STUDY IN A
CHURCH IN CHARLESTON.
IN FEBRUARY, WE WITNESSED A 
MURDER OF AHMAUD ARBERY, A BLACK
MAN WHO WENT OUT FOR A JOG IN 
GEORGIA.
[ Chanting ].
THE VICTIMS OF COVID-19 ARE 
DISPROPORTIONATELY BLACK FOLKS, 
NEWCOMERS, PEOPLE OF COLOUR AND 
POOR PEOPLE.
THE MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND 
HIS ENABLERS SHOW NOTHING BUT 
CONTEMPT FOR BLACK FOLKS, 
MUSLIMS, MEXICANS, REFUGEES AND 
WOM
WOMEN.
CANADIANS FROM DAWSON CITY TO 
ST. JOHN'S CAN TELL YOU ABOUT 
AMERICAN SLAVERY, THE CIVIL WAR 
AND THE FIGHT TO DESEGREGATE 
AMERICA.
BUT HOW MANY CANADIANS CAN TELL 
YOU ABOUT A PROMINENT LEGISLATOR
AND CABINET MINISTER IN LATE 
18TH CENTURY UPPER CANADA WAS A 
SLAVE OWNER, PETER RUSSELL?
HOW MANY KNOW THAT SLAVERY WAS 
PART OF THE FABRIC OF LIFE IN 
P.E.I., NEW BRUNSWICK, NOVA 
SCOTIA, QUEBEC AND ONTARIO?
HOW MANY CANADIANS CAN NAME 
ANDREW LOKU AND OTHERS AS JUST 
THREE OF THE MANY BLACK 
CANADIANS WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED 
BY POLICE IN RECENT YEARS?
TODAY, MANY BLACK PARENTS IN 
CANADA ARE AFRAID.
WILL OUR CHILDREN KEEP THEIR 
HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL THIS
-- WHEN THEY GET PULLED OVER?
WILL THEY COME HOME ALIVE?
WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THE SAME 
THINGS FOR DECADES.
ARE YOU READY TO ACT AND LISTEN?
OUR CHILDREN NEED SAFETY, 
RESPECT AND GOOD EDUCATION IN 
SCHOOLS.
WE NEED POLICE FORCES, COURTS 
AND PRISONS THAT DO NOT COME 
DOWN UNFAIRLY ON BLACK PEOPLE.
WE NEED A RECOGNITION OF WHO WE 
ARE, WHERE WE STAND AND WHERE WE
ARE TODAY.
WE NEED AN EQUAL FOOTING IN THIS
COUNTRY.
WE NEED WHAT ALL FOLKS NEED.
>> Adrienne: THAT IS "THE 
NATIONAL" FOR JUNE 3.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
