>> Andrew: GOOD EVENING, I'M 
ANDREW CHANG.
ADRIENNE IS AWAY.
TONIGHT, IS THE U.S. LOSING ITS 
BATTLE WITH COVID-19?
CASES, HOSPITALIZATIONS AND 
DEATHS REACHED NEW HIGHS IN HOT 
SPOTS, AND HEALTH OFFICIALS WARN
THE WORST IS YET TO COME. 
>> THE FALL AND THE WINTER OF 
2020 AND 2021 ARE GOING TO BE 
PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST 
DIFFICULT TIMES. 
>> Andrew: FROM BARS TO CROWDED 
PARTIES. 
>> I THINK YOUNG PEOPLE IN 
GENERAL THINK THAT THEY ARE 
INVINCIBLE.
>> Andrew: GROWING CONCERN THAT 
TOO MANY PEOPLE AREN'T TAKING 
THE VIRUS SERIOUSLY.
>>> THE U.K. BANS CHINESE 
TELECOMMUNICATIONS GIANT HUAWEI.
>> President Donald Trump: WE 
THINK IT'S AN UNSAFE SECURITY 
RISK.
IT'S A BIG SECURITY RISK.
>> Andrew: THE U.S., AUSTRALIA, 
PARTS OF EUROPE HAVE DONE THE 
SAME.
SO WHY HASN'T CANADA?
>>> THIS ONE BEHIND ME IS 
COVERED, BIG CLUMPS OF IT.
>> Andrew: AND A NEW PLAGUE FOR 
2020.
>> IN THE 20 YEARS I'VE BEEN 
HERE, WEAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING 
LIKE THIS AMOUNT.
>> Andrew: THE INVASIVE INSECT 
EATING ITS WAY THROUGH SOUTHERN 
ONTARIO.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>>> DAY AFTER DAY THE UNITED 
STATES IS SHATTERING ITS OWN 
COVID-19 RECORDS AS THIS VIRUS 
SWEEPS THROUGH AREAS THAT JUST 
WEEKS AGO THOUGHT THEY WERE 
BEATING IT.
TEXAS TOPPED ITS RECORD DAILY 
INCREASE IN CASES, NEARLY 11,000
ADDED TODAY.
SOME CITIES ARE PUTTING 
REFRIGERATED TRUCKS ON STANDBY 
TO ACT AS MORGUES.
FLORIDA REPORTED A RECORD NUMBER
OF DEATHS TODAY, 132.
ALABAMA SET A RECORD AS WELL, 
AND AS SOME AREAS REIMPOSE 
RESTRICTIONS TO TRY TO STOP THE 
SPREAD, A WARNING TODAY THAT 
DIFFICULT DAYS ARE AHEAD.
KATIE SIMPSON TAKES US THROUGH 
IT.
>> Reporter: IT WAS A MOMENT TOO
GOOD TO BE TRUE.
BUSINESSES BARELY UP AND RUNNING
AFTER THE FIRST SHUTDOWN IN 
CALIFORNIA NOW BEING FORCED TO 
CLOSE AGAIN UNDER FRESH LOCKDOWN
RULES. 
>> I SPENT MY LIFE SAVINGS FOR 
THIS, YOU KNOW?
SO I PRAY AND I TRY TO STAY 
POSITIVE, BUT I'M NOT SURE.
>> Reporter: IF THAT WASN'T 
DIFFICULT ENOUGH, THERE IS A NEW
DIRE WARNING FROM ONE OF THE TOP
SCIENTIFIC MINDS IN THE U.S. 
>> I DO THINK THE FALL AND THE 
WINTER OF 2020 AND 2021 ARE 
GOING TO BE PROBABLY ONE OF THE 
MOST DIFFICULT TIMES THAT WE'VE 
EXPERIENCED. 
>> Reporter: THE FEAR IS THE 
COMBINATION OF CORONAVIRUS AND 
SEASONAL FLU WILL STRAIN THE 
U.S. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM BEYOND 
CAPACITY.
BUT THE HEAD OF THE CENTERS FOR 
DISEASE CONTROL SAYS THERE'S ONE
WAY TO TRY TO CHANGE COURSE.
>> I THINK IF WE COULD GET 
EVERYBODY TO WEAR A MASK RIGHT 
NOW, I REALLY DO THINK OVER THE 
NEXT FOUR TO SIX, EIGHT WEEKS WE
COULD BRING THIS EPIDEMIC UNDER 
CONTROL. 
>> Reporter: THIS MAY EXPLAIN 
WHY THE FIRST LADY TWEETED THIS 
PHOTO TODAY.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT ALSO WORE A 
MASK ON HIS TRIP TO LOUISIANA, 
AND WHY ON THE WEEKEND THE 
PRESIDENT FINALLY WORE A MASK IN
PUBLIC.
>> IT'S GOTTEN BAD ENOUGH THAT 
EVEN DONALD TRUMP FINALLY 
DECIDED TO WEAR A MASK IN 
PUBLIC.
I'M GLAD HE MADE THE SHIFT.
MR. PRESIDENT, IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
>> Reporter: JOE BIDEN'S 
CRITICISM APPEARS TO HAVE HIT A 
NERVE. 
>> President Donald Trump: JOE 
BIDEN'S ENTIRE CAREER HAS BEEN A
GIFT TO THE CHINESE COMMUNIST 
PARTY.
>> Reporter: AT A NEWS 
CONFERENCE, DONALD TRUMP 
LAUNCHED INTO A RAMBLING 
CAMPAIGN-STYLE ATTACK AGAINST 
HIS MAIN POLITICAL CHALLENGER 
WHILE ALSO DEFLECTING BLAME FOR 
THE U.S. RESPONSE TO THE 
PANDEMIC.
>> President Donald Trump: 
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN NEW YORK 
DIED BECAUSE OF POOR MANAGEMENT 
BY THE GOVERNOR.
>> Reporter: WITH THE PANDEMIC 
PREVENTING THE PRESIDENT FROM 
BEING ABLE TO CAMPAIGN THE WAY 
HE WANTS TO, DONALD TRUMP'S 
RE-ELECTION EFFORTS ARE ON FULL 
DISPLAY AT OFFICIAL EVENTS.
TODAY, BEING THE MOST OVERT 
EXAMPLE YET.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS, 
WASHINGTON.
>> Andrew: AS CASELOADS CONTINUE
TO CLIMB IN THE U.S., CBC NEWS 
HAS CONFIRMED RESTRICTIONS AT 
THE CANADA-U.S. BORDER WILL 
REMAIN FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 30 
DAYS.
IT WAS SET TO REOPEN IN A WEEK, 
BUT SENIOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS 
SAY OTTAWA AND WASHINGTON HAVE 
AGREED TO EXTEND THE CLOSURE FOR
NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL INTO LATE 
AUGUST.
>>> HERE IN CANADA, ALMOST EVERY
PROVINCE REPORTED NEW COVID-19 
CASES TODAY.
ONTARIO AND QUEBEC ONCE AGAIN 
HAVE THE MOST INFECTIONS, BUT IN
THE WEST, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF 
NOTEWORTHY UPTICKS.
ALBERTA POSTED 86 NEW CASES, UP 
SLIGHTLY OVER YESTERDAY.
IT CONTINUES AN UPWARD TREND 
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING FOR DAYS 
NOW.
IN MANITOBA, JUST FIVE NEW 
CASES, BUT THE FIRST AT ALL THIS
MONTH, AND ALL FIVE WERE PEOPLE 
IN THEIR 40S OR YOUNGER.
AS JACQUELINE HANSEN TELLS US, 
THAT GROUP IN PARTICULAR IS 
WORRYING SOME HEALTH OFFICIALS.
>> Reporter: FROM BARS IN 
MONTREAL TO ST. JOHN'S, THE 
SCENES OF CROWDS SHOULDER TO 
SHOULDER ARE SPARKING CONCERN 
AMONG HEALTH OFFICIALS.
>> I THINK YOUNG PEOPLE IN 
GENERAL THINK THAT THEY ARE 
INVINCIBLE.
>> Reporter: BUT DATA SHOWS 
THEY'RE NOT.
TAKE ALBERTA.
OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, PEOPLE 
UNDER THE AGE OF 40 MADE UP 57% 
OF NEW CASES.
>> THIS IS A REMINDER THAT 
COVID-19 CAN SPREAD QUICKLY, AND
CASES CAN RISE RAPIDLY IF WE 
DON'T ALL DO OUR PART.
>> Reporter: IN ONTARIO, OVER 
THE SAME PERIOD THE UNDER 40 AGE
GROUP ACCOUNTED FOR JUST OVER 
50% OF NEW CASES. 
>> THEY ARE THE INDIVIDUALS WHO 
ARE GETTING INFECTED AT WORK, 
BUT THEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE 
WAITING IN LINE AT THE PATIO.
>> Reporter: AS MORE INDOOR BARS
PREPARE TO REOPEN IN PARTS OF 
THE COUNTRY, CLOSED SPACES WITH
PROLONGED EXPOSURE ARE RAISING 
CONCERNS AMONG OFFICIALS ABOUT 
THE POTENTIAL FOR SPREAD IF 
PEOPLE GET TOO RELAXED WITH THE 
RULES. 
>> WHAT DO THEY SERVE IN BARS?
IT'S ALCOHOL, RIGHT?
AS WE ALL KNOW, AFTER ONE OR TWO
DRINKS, PEOPLE MIGHT FEEL LESS 
INHIBITED. 
>> Reporter: THIS NURSE AND 
CONTACT TRACER IS SEEING ANOTHER
TROUBLING TREND IN THE EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENT. 
>> A LOT OF PARTY ISSUES AGAIN.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE BACK TO HAVING 
FREQUENT OVERDOSES.
>> Reporter: A SIGN SHE SAYS 
THAT THINGS ARE RETURNING TO THE
STATUS QUO, AND WHILE SOME 
PEOPLE MAY THINK THEY ARE 
FOLLOWING THE RULES BY 
SOCIALIZING IN SMALL 
GROUPS . . . 
>> THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE 
MULTIPLE GATHERINGS OF EIGHT 
PEOPLE IN A CONFINED SPACE.
THAT JUST IS A LOGISTICAL 
NIGHTMARE IN TERMS OF KEEPING 
TRACK OF WHO'S BEEN EXPOSED TO 
WHO.
>> Reporter: IN QUEBEC, THAT 
NIGHTMARE ALREADY PLAYED OUT.
ABOUT 30 CASES OF COVID-19 HAVE 
BEEN LINKED TO NINE BARS.
>> THERE IS A LOT OF BARS IN 
MONTREAL, AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE 
GO FROM ONE BAR TO ANOTHER BAR 
>> Reporter: TODAY OFFICIALS 
SAID THAT SITUATION IS UNDER 
CONTROL, BUT THE RISK REMAINS IF
CELEBRATING REOPENING ISN'T DONE
RESPONSIBLY.
JACQUELINE HANSEN, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO,
>> Andrew: HUMAN TRIALS ARE 
UNDER WAY FOR A POTENTIAL 
COVID-19 VACCINE DEVELOPED IN 
CANADA.
>> WE'RE ENTERING WHAT'S 
TYPICALLY CALLED PHASE ONE, AND 
IT'S FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON 
SAFETY.
>> Andrew: YESTERDAY 
QUEBEC-BASED MEDICAGO STARTED 
GIVING ITS VACCINE TO 180 
HEALTHY PEOPLE.
JUST ONE OF MANY VACCINES IN 
DEVELOPMENT.
140 OR SO AROUND THE WORLD, BUT 
ONLY 23 SO FAR REACHING HUMAN 
TRIALS.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY'S VACCINE IS 
ALREADY IN WHAT'S CALLED PHASE 
THREE WHICH TYPICALLY INVOLVES 
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO SEE IF IT
PROTECTS THEM FROM COVID-19.
IT'S SHOWING PROMISE, PRODUCING 
ANTIBODIES IN HUMANS, AND TODAY 
U.S.--BASED MODERNA ANNOUNCED IT
WOULD START TRIALS NEXT WEEK. 
>> WE WANT AN EFFECTIVE VACCINE 
AND WE WANT IT NOW, SO CERTAINLY
THERE ARE OTHER VACCINE 
CANDIDATES FURTHER AHEAD THAN 
THIS ONE, BUT IT'S STILL 
IMPORTANT TO HAVE MANY GROUPS IN
THIS RACE.
>> Andrew: BACK ON THE QUEBEC 
FRONT, MEDICAGO SAYS IF ALL GOES
WELL, IT COULD PRODUCE 100 
MILLION DOSES BY THE END OF NEXT
YEAR.
>>> BRITISH COLUMBIA RELEASED 
ITS PROJECTIONS TODAY OF THE 
VIRUS'S COST TO THE PROVINCIAL 
ECONOMY. 
>> I THINK THERE'S NO QUESTION 
THAT COVID-19 HAS HAD A PROFOUND
IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY IN BRITISH
COLUMBIA AND THAT THAT'S NOT 
SHORT TERM.
>> Andrew: B.C.'S FINANCE 
MINISTER SAYS IN A MATTER OF 
MONTHS THE PROVINCE HAS GONE 
FROM EXPECTING A MULTI-MILLION 
DOLLAR SURPLUS TO RUNNING A 
$12.5 BILLION DEFICIT.
THE PROVINCE HAS LOST 235,000 
JOBS SINCE FEBRUARY.
>>> AND TORONTO, TOO, IS NOW 
DEEPLY IN THE RED.
>> THE CITY IS PROJECTING A $1.9
BILLION COVID-19-RELATED 
SHORTFALL.
>> Andrew: MAYOR JOHN TORY DID 
SAY COST-SAVING MEASURES WILL 
HELP THE CITY RECOUP SOME OF 
THAT MONEY.
STILL, TORONTO FACES A NET 
DEFICIT OF MORE THAN $1.3 
BILLION.
>>> AND THAT WASN'T THE ONLY 
HARD FINANCIAL NEWS TODAY.
THE PANDEMIC IS DECIMATING 
CANADA'S AIRLINES.
WITH NO ONE FLYING, THEY HAVE 
BEEN HEMORRHAGING MILLIONS OF 
DOLLARS A DAY.
AND NOW CANADA'S LARGEST AIRPORT
HAS CUT 500 JOBS.
AARON SALTZMAN EXPLAINS.
>> Reporter: THESE DAYS, IT'S 
MORE GHOST TOWN THAN AIRPORT.
>> IT'S DIFFERENT, DEFINITELY.
>> Reporter: SO WORD THAT 
CANADA'S BUSIEST AIRPORT WAS 
CUTTING A QUARTER OF ITS 
WORKFORCE, NOT EXACTLY A 
SURPRISE.
IN A STATEMENT, TORONTO PEARSON 
CALLED THE CUTS A DIFFICULT BUT 
NECESSARY STEP BECAUSE THE 
REDUCED ACTIVITY IS HAVING A 
SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON 
THE AIRPORT'S BUSINESS.
PASSENGER NUMBERS AT PEARSON 
WERE DOWN 97% IN APRIL FROM THE 
YEAR BEFORE.
IT'S THE SAME STORY AT OTHER 
AIRPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, 
WITH BOTH VANCOUVER AND CALGARY 
MAKING SIMILAR JOB CUTS EARLIER 
IN THE PANDEMIC.
THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE 
GETTING BETTER BY NOW, BUT A 
RESURGENCE OF COVID-19 CASES, 
ESPECIALLY IN THE U.S., HAS 
THROWN THAT PLAN OFF COURSE.
DELTA AIRLINES HAD ADDED 1,000 
FLIGHTS THIS SUMMER IN 
ANTICIPATION OF DEMAND PICKING 
BACK UP.
TODAY IT CUT THOSE FLIGHTS AND 
ANNOUNCED A SECOND QUARTER NET 
LOSS OF $5.7 BILLION. 
>> DEMAND HAS STALLED AS THE 
VIRUS HAS GROWN, PARTICULARLY 
DOWN HERE IN THE SOUTH, ACROSS 
THE SUN BELT, COUPLED WITH THE 
QUARANTINE MEASURES THAT ARE 
GOING IN PLACE IN MANY OF THE 
NORTHERN STATES.
SO THOSE TWO FACTORS ARE CAUSING
CONSUMERS TO PAUSE. 
>> Reporter: IN CANADA, THERE 
ARE RENEWED CALLS FOR THE 
GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN WITH A 
BAILOUT.
>> WE'RE GOING TO NEED AN 
INDUSTRY TO GET BACK TO ONCE 
WE'VE FOUND A SOLUTION FOR 
COVID-19.
>> Reporter: BUT WHEN CASES DO 
EASE AND RESTRICTIONS LIFT, SOME
WONDER IF AIR TRAVEL WILL 
ACTUALLY FOLLOW SUIT.
>> WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS
USING VIDEO CONFERENCING 
PLATFORMS.
I'M NOT SURE THE EXTENT TO WHICH
WE WILL JUMP ON THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO TRAVEL LIKE MAYBE WE DID 
BEFORE.
>> Reporter: ALTHOUGH SHE SAYS 
AIR TRAVEL DID COME BACK AFTER 
9/11 AND ULTIMATELY SOARED TO 
RECORD LEVELS.
SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT COULD 
HAPPEN AGAIN THIS TIME, 
EVENTUALLY.
AARON SALTZMAN, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: AROUND THE WORLD, THE
NUMBER OF COVID CASES IS 
CLIMBING, QUICKLY.
BEHIND THE U.S., THE COUNTRIES 
WITH THE MOST CASES ARE BRAZIL, 
RUSSIA AND INDIA WHERE CONFIRMED
CASES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE 
ONE MILLION MARK THIS WEEK.
WORLDWIDE, MORE THAN 13 MILLION 
PEOPLE HAVE BECOME SICK.
MORE THAN HALF A MILLION HAVE 
DIED, AND AS CHRIS BROWN TELLS 
US, SOARING CASELOADS HAVE MANY 
COUNTRIES SHUTTING BACK DOWN.
>> Reporter: IN HONG KONG, THE 
RIDES AT DISNEYLAND HAVE STOPPED
AND CUSTOMERS SCARFED DOWN THEIR
LAST MEALS AS NEW RESTRICTIONS 
KICKED IN OVER A FLARE-UP OF 
CORONAVIRUS IN THE TERRITORY.
AFTER THESE RESTRICTIONS ARE 
EASED, THERE MAY BE ANOTHER WAVE
OF INFECTIONS, FEARS THIS 
STUDENT.
IN INDIA, FOUR RECORD-SETTING 
DAYS OF NEW CASES HAVE PUSHED 
MORE THAN 100 MILLION PEOPLE 
BACK INTO LOCKDOWNS.
OUR CBC PRODUCER VISITED A 
HOMELESS SHELTER IN DELHI THAT 
WAS FULL OF FAMILIES WITH 
CHILDREN DISPLACED BY COVID.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND WORK.
IF THE DISEASE DOESN'T KILL US, 
HUNGER WILL.
MATTRESSES HAVE BEEN SPACED OUT,
BUT ENSURING EVERYONE STAYS 
DISTANCED AND WEARS MASKS IS AN 
IMPOSSIBLE TASK FOR THE 
ADMINISTRATOR.
>> A LOT OF TIMES TO MAKE PEOPLE
ACTUALLY [INDISCERNIBLE]
>> Reporter: INDIANS HAVE ALSO 
BEEN SAYING PRAYERS FOR 
BOLLYWOOD ROYALTY, FAMOUS STAR 
AMITABH BACHCHAN, HIS SON 
ABHISHEK BACHCHAN AND HIS 
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AISHWARYA RAI 
HAVE ALL BEEN SICKENED.
CANADIAN INFECTIOUS DISEASE 
SPECIALIST GERALD EVANS GIVES 
LITTLE EVIDENCE THE VIRUS'S 
GLOBAL RAMPAGE IS SLOWING. 
>> THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH 
NEGATIVITY A HUMAN CAN TAKE AT A
GIVEN TIME, AND YOU'RE ALWAYS 
LOOKING FOR THAT LIGHT AT THE 
END OF THE TUNNEL.
I THINK AT THE MOMENT WE'RE DEEP
IN THIS TUNNEL AND WE HAVE TO 
LOOK AND SEE WHERE THAT LIGHT 
MIGHT BE AT THE END.
>> Reporter: MAYBE THERE'S A 
SEASONALITY TO COVID-19, HE 
SAYS, OR PERHAPS MORE PEOPLE 
HAVE IMMUNITIES THAN WE THINK, 
BUT FOR NOW, LOCKDOWNS SEEM THE 
ONLY CERTAIN WAY TO CONTROL THE 
SPREAD.
SO BRAZIL'S NATIONAL GOVERNMENT 
CONTINUES TO RESIST THAT WITH 
ITS PRESIDENT NOW RECOVERING 
FROM THE VIRUS.
TODAY A LEADING GLOBAL HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION SAID BRAZIL'S 
RISING MORTALITIES, 72,000 WITH 
NO SIGN YET OF A PEAK, IS 
EXTREMELY WORRYING.
CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: NOW ONE OTHER THING 
TO CONSIDER ON THE WORLD STAGE, 
AS SERIOUS AS THE GLOBAL 
SITUATION IS, ONE COUNTRY CLAIMS
TO HAVE COVID-19 COMPLETELY 
UNDER CONTROL.
FORMER SOVIET REPUBLIC 
TURKMENISTAN SITS RIGHT BESIDE 
IRAN, WHICH HAS REPORTED MORE 
THAN 260,000 INFECTIONS.
BUT TURKMENISTAN SAYS IT HAS 
ZERO CASES.
PRETTY UNBELIEVABLE.
YET A WEEK AFTER A VISIT FROM 
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, 
THE AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT HAS
NOW STRONGLY RECOMMENDED ITS 
PEOPLE WEAR MASKS, BUT THE 
REASON GIVEN, TO PROTECT THEM 
FROM DUST.
>>> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 
SIGNED A NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER 
AIMED AT ENDING THE SPECIAL 
STATUS OF HONG KONG UNDER U.S. 
LAW.
>> President Donald Trump: THIS 
LAW GIVES MY ADMINISTRATION 
POWERFUL NEW TOOLS TO HOLD 
RESPONSIBLE THE INDIVIDUALS AND 
THE ENTITIES INVOLVED IN 
EXTINGUISHING HONG KONG'S 
FREEDOM.
>> Andrew: THE MOVE SIGNALS AN 
INCREASINGLY TOUGH STANCE BY THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ON BEIJING 
AFTER IT IMPOSED A NEW NATIONAL 
SECURITY LAW ON THE TERRITORY.
TRUMP ALSO TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO BOAST ABOUT HIS ROLE IN 
INFLUENCING OTHER COUNTRIES TO 
BAN CHINESE TECH GIANT HUAWEI.
>> President Donald Trump: WE 
CONVINCED MANY COUNTRIES, MANY 
COUNTRIES, I DID THIS MYSELF FOR
THE MOST PART, NOT TO USE HUAWEI
BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S AN UNSAFE 
SECURITY RISK.
IF THEY WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH
US, THEY CAN'T USE IT. 
>> Andrew: BRITAIN IS BANNING 
HUAWEI FROM WORKING ON ITS 5G 
NETWORK FOR FEARS OF CHINESE 
SPYING, AND AS EVAN DYER TELLS 
US, THE PRESSURE IS ON CANADA 
NOW TO MAKE THAT SAME CALL.
>> TO BE CLEAR, FROM THE END OF 
THIS YEAR, TELECOMS OPERATORS 
MUST NOT BUY ANY 5G EQUIPMENT 
FROM HUAWEI. 
>> Reporter: BRITAIN'S DIGITAL 
SECRETARY ADMITS THE DECISION 
WILL COST THE U.K. ABOUT A 
BILLION DOLLARS AND SET BACK ITS
5G ROLL OUT BY ABOUT A YEAR.
THE REVERSAL COMES AS CHINA 
CRACKS DOWN ON HONG KONG.
BRITAIN JOINS A GROWING LIST OF 
COUNTRIES THAT HAVE EXCLUDED 
HUAWEI FROM THEIR 5G MARKETS.
THAT INCLUDES MUCH OF EUROPE AND
ALL OF THE SO-CALLED FIVE EYES 
NATIONS, THE INTELLIGENCE 
SHARING NETWORK OF 
ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES, THAT
IS, ALL EXCEPT CANADA.
>> THE DECISION BY THE U.K. 
GOVERNMENT IS A RIGHT STEP. 
>> Reporter: TODAY, A 
PRO-DEMOCRACY GROUP OF HONG KONG
CANADIANS PUBLISHED AN OPEN 
LETTER SIGNED BY DOZENS OF M.P.S
OF ALL PARTIES.
THE GROUP WANTS CANADA TO GET 
TOUGHER ON BEIJING. 
>> IF WE CONTINUE TO LET CHINA 
BULLY US, IF WE CONTINUE TO STAY
SILENT ON THESE ISSUES THAT ARE 
IMPORTANT TO US, THEN CHINA WILL
CONTINUE TO BULLY US. 
>> WE NEED TO BE A BIT MORE 
HARD-NOSED.
>> Reporter: JUST TWO LIBERAL 
M.P.S SIGNED THE LETTER.
ONE IS JOHN MCKAY. 
>> I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW FROM A 
SECURITY STANDPOINT THE UNITED 
STATES OR U.K. OR AUSTRALIA OR 
NEW ZEALAND, OUR FIVE EYES 
PARTNERS, WILL TOLERATE ANY 
DEVIATION FROM A BAN.
>> Reporter: ALL THREE MAJOR 
CANADIAN TELECOM COMPANIES HAVE 
MADE IT CLEAR THEY WON'T BE 
BUILDING THEIR 5G NETWORKS 
AROUND HUAWEI ANYWAY.
THE COMPANIES MAY HAVE READ THE 
WRITING ON THE WALL. 
>> WHERE THE COMPANIES ARE 
MOVING TO NOW I THINK IS 
POSSIBLY MORE REFLECTIVE OF 
WHERE THEY AT LEAST BELIEVE THE 
CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IS MOVING.
>> Reporter: CANADA MAY SEE 
LITTLE REASON TO UPSET CHINA 
WITH MICHAEL KOVRIG AND MICHAEL 
SPAVOR STILL IN CHINESE CUSTODY,
AND IT MAY NOT NEED TO, WITH 
OTHER COUNTRIES AND CORPORATIONS
CLOSING THE DOOR TO HUAWEI, THE 
COMPANY'S PROSPECTS ACROSS THE 
WEST ARE LOOKING DIM.
EVAN DYER, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.

IN-DEPTH LOOK AT HUAWEI AND 5G.
HOW REAL IS THE RISK?
THAT'S COMING UP IN ABOUT 20 
MINUTES.
>>> OKAY, A U.S. JUDGE DENIED 
BAIL TODAY FOR JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S
LONG-TIME ASSOCIATE, GHISLAINE 
MAXWELL.
SHE MADE HER FIRST COURT 
APPEARANCE TODAY BY VIDEO IN NEW
YORK WHERE SHE PLEADED NOT 
GUILTY.
MAXWELL IS ACCUSED OF HAVING 
LURED UNDERAGE GIRLS FOR 
EPSTEIN.
THE 58-YEAR-OLD BRITISH 
SOCIALITE REMAINS IN JAIL AHEAD 
OF HER TRIAL, SCHEDULED TO START
JULY OF NEXT YEAR.
HERE'S RENÉE FILIPPONE ON 
MAXWELL'S DEEP SOCIAL 
CONNECTIONS IN THE U.K. AND WHY 
SHE COULD PRESENT A REAL RISK TO
THE ROYAL FAMILY.
>> Reporter: THE FORMER HOME OF 
A BRITISH SOCIALITE, TUCKED AWAY
IN A POSH LONDON NEIGHBOURHOOD.
IT'S HERE AT A PARTY IN 2001 
WHERE A NOW-INFAMOUS PHOTO WAS 
TAKEN OF A PRINCE AND HIS 
ACCUSER AND THE WOMAN NOW DEEPLY
ENTWINED IN AN INTERNATIONAL 
SCANDAL, GHISLAINE MAXWELL
SHE WAS NEVER FAR FROM THE 
SPOTLIGHT.
HER FATHER, ROBERT MAXWELL, WAS 
A BRITISH NEWSPAPER BARON.
GHISLAINE, SAID TO BE HIS 
FAVOURITE CHILD, WAS OFTEN BY 
HIS SIDE.
>> SHE WAS STEELY, FOCUSED, 
AMBITIOUS, AND AMBITIOUS FOR ONE
THING, GHISLAINE MAXWELL.
>> Reporter: THIS "DAILY MAIL" 
JOURNALIST SAYS SHE WAS A SOCIAL
CLIMBER ON A MISSION. 
>> BECAUSE OF HER FATHER'S 
INFLUENCE AS THE OWNER OF A 
NEWSPAPER GROUP, SHE GOT INTO 
HIGH SOCIETY.
SHE WOULD BE A REGULAR AT 
RECEPTIONS AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE,
FOR INSTANCE. 
>> Reporter: A TURNING POINT MAY
HAVE COME IN 1991 WHEN HER 
FATHER, ON THE VERGE OF 
FINANCIAL RUIN, DIED AFTER 
FALLING FROM A YACHT NAMED AFTER
HER.
>> SHE MOVED TO NEW YORK THEN 
AND GOT FRIENDLY WITH EPSTEIN 
AND SEEMED TO HAVE LIVED AN 
EXTRAORDINARILY LUXURIOUS 
LIFESTYLE, PRESUMABLY ON HIS 
MONEY.
>> Reporter: RUBBING SHOULDERS 
WITH POWER, SHE WAS BY JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN'S SIDE FOR YEARS.
SHE'S ACCUSED OF PROCURING, 
GROOMING AND TRAFFICKING 
UNDERAGE GIRLS FOR HIM. 
>> I BELIEVE THAT FROM THE VERY 
BEGINNING THEY HAD THAT TYPE OF 
A RELATIONSHIP. 
>> Reporter: CONCHITA SARNOFF 
KNEW THE COUPLE WHEN ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST HIM SURFACED, SHE CALLED
MAXWELL. 
>> SHE SAID, OH, IT'S 
RIDICULOUS, AND SHE TOLD ME 
ABOUT HOW THE VICTIMS WERE JUST 
AFTER MONEY, AND SHE MADE LIGHT 
OF THIS SERIOUS ISSUE.
>> Reporter: THE CHARGES MAXWELL
FACES DATE BACK TO THE '90S.
SHE HAD CONSISTENTLY DENIED ANY 
WRONGDOING.
>> PRINCE ANDREW SPEAKS OUT. 
>> Reporter: THE ARREST IS 
SENDING SHOCK WAVES THROUGH THE 
U.K. AND VERY LIKELY BUCKINGHAM 
PALACE.
>> WHEN WAS YOUR LAST CONTACT 
WITH HER?
>> IT WAS EARLIER THIS YEAR, 
FUNNY ENOUGH. 
>> Reporter: PRINCE ANDREW WAS 
MAXWELL'S FRIEND, AND ALLEGEDLY 
THROUGH HER MET 17-YEAR-OLD 
VIRGINIA GIUFFRE.
SHE SAID SHE WAS FORCED TO HAVE 
SEX WITH THE PRINCE, SOMETHING 
HE HAD DENIED.
>> THE WORRY IN THERE IS THAT 
GHISLAINE MAXWELL, A RUTHLESS 
WOMAN WHO ONLY LOOKS OUT FOR 
GHISLAINE MAXWELL, SHE'LL THROW
PRINCE ANDREW UNDER A DOUBLE 
DECKER BUS IF IT WILL HELP 
REDUCE HER SENTENCE.

OLIVIA STEFANOVICH, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: WHEN WE COME BACK, 
THE PANDEMIC HAS TANKED THE 
AIRBNB ECONOMY IN TORONTO.
>> IT'S REALLY, REALLY TOUGH FOR
SOME OF THE LANDLORDS TO SUSTAIN
THAT.
>> Andrew: NEXT, HOW IS 
SHORT-TERM RENTAL MARKET HAS 
LEFT THE BIG CITY AND TAKEN HOLD
IN SMALL ONTARIO TOWNS. S 
SHORT-TERM RENTAL MARKET HAS 
LEFT THE BIG CITY AND TAKEN HOLD
IN SMALL ONTARIO TOWNS. THS 
SHORT-TERM RENTAL MARKET HAS

SHORT-TERM RENTAL MARKET HAS

SHORT-TERM RENTAL MARKET HAS 
LEFT THE BIG CITY AND TAKEN HOLD
IN SMALL ONTARIO TOWNS. 
>>> BUT FIRST, GRANT IMAHARA, 
ROBOTICS GURU, FORMER HOST OF 
MYTH BUSTERS, HAS DIED. 
>> LET'S TRY IT.
LET'S SEE IF IT'S POSSIBLE. 
>> Andrew: GRANT IMAHARA TRAINED
AS AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND 
ROBOTICIST, AND HIS FIRST GIG 
AFTER GRADUATING FROM UNIVERSITY
IN L.A., AS CLOSE TO A DREAM JOB
AS YOU CAN GET.
VISUAL EFFECTS FOR INDUSTRIAL 
LIGHT AND MAGIC, AND WORKING, NO
LESS, ON SOME OF HOLLYWOOD'S 
BIGGEST SCI-FI BLOCKBUSTERS,
"JURASSIC PARK," "STAR WARS," 
"THE MATRIX." 
BUT THEN AN INVITATION FROM AN 
OLD FRIEND CHANGED EVERYTHING.
IMAHARA JOINED MYTH BUSTERS AS A
HOST AND A BUILDER OF EVERYTHING
FROM ROBOTS TO ANCIENT MACHINES.
THAT BROUGHT IMAHARA FAME AND IT
BROUGHT AMERICAN TELEVISION 
SOMETHING PRETTY UNCOMMON, ASIAN
REPRESENTATION.
HIS NEXT GIG, THE WHITE RABBIT 
PROJECT ON NETFLIX, USED 
TECHNOLOGY TO EXPLORE EVERYTHING
FROM THE VIABILITY OF JET PACKS 
TO MIND CONTROL.
>> ARE YOU NOT AMUSED?
>> Andrew: IT ONLY LASTED ONE 
SEASON, THOUGH, SO IMAHARA WENT 
BACK TO HIS ROOTS, WORKING FOR 
DISNEY THIS TIME, DOING MORE 
CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN WORK.
GRANT IMAHARA DIED YESTERDAY AT 
AGE 49, THE RESULT OF A BRAIN 
>> Andrew: LOTS OF GYMS AND 
FITNESS CENTRES HAVE TAKEN THEIR
SERVICES ONLINE.
VIRTUAL CLASSES, PERSONAL 
TRAINING, BUT IF YOU'VE BEEN 
YEARNING TO GET BACK TO THE 
BRICK AND MORTAR REAL DEAL, WHAT
SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
>> THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO 
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT TO COME IN 
SO WE CAN CONTROL THE NUMBER OF 
PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE FACILITY 
AT ANY ONE GIVEN TIME AND REALLY
HELP TO MAINTAIN THE SOCIAL 
DISTANCING.
>> Andrew: SO THE WHOLE 
FACILITY, OR EVEN DIFFERENT 
SECTIONS OF THE GYM MAY ONLY 
ALLOW A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE 
AT A TIME.
ANOTHER BIG CHANGE, YOU DO MORE 
CLEANING.
>> THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES 
FOR PEOPLE TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE
ANY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT BEFORE 
THEY TOUCH IT.
>> Andrew: THIS FACILITY WILL 
EVEN GIVE YOU YOUR OWN SPRAY 
BOTTLE.
NOW IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT STAFF 
WON'T BE CLEANING MORE OFTEN.
THEY WILL, JUST EXPECT TO HAVE 
TO TAKE SOME OF THAT ON 
YOURSELF.
THE OTHER THING, SOME EQUIPMENT 
MIGHT BE GONE.
>> YOU KNOW, THOSE THINGS THAT 
ARE A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING TO
KEEP CLEAN AND SANITIZED.
THINGS LIKE FOAM ROLLERS, BATTLE
ROPES AND JUST OTHER PIECES LIKE
THAT.
>> Andrew: AND EVEN CHANGE 
ROOMS, LOCKERS, SHOWERS, WATER 
FOUNTAINS MAY BE RESTRICTED OR 
OFF-LIMITS ALL TOGETHER.
ANOTHER QUESTION A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE IS CAN YOU GET SICK FROM 
ANOTHER PERSON'S SWEAT.
WELL, THE ANSWER IS NO.
VIRUSES DON'T TRAVEL THROUGH THE
SKIN.
NEITHER FROM THE OUTSIDE IN, NOR
THE INSIDE OUT.
COVID-19 IS A RESPIRATORY 
ILLNESS, BUT THAT DOES MEAN THE 
MORE HEAVILY YOU BREATHE, SURE, 
THERE'S A HIGHER CHANCE OF 
INFECTING OTHER PEOPLE, AND 
WEARING A MASK IS TOUGH, GIVEN 
HOW HARD IT IS TO BREATHE IN 
ONE.
SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING IS KING, AND
EXPECT TO SEE ALL KINDS OF 
IMAGINATIVE WAYS THAT CLIENTS 
WILL BE KEPT APART.
>>> NOW THE PANDEMIC IS ALSO 
RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOUSING 
IN CANADA'S LARGEST MARKETS.
HERE IN TORONTO SOME AIRBNBS ARE
OPENING UP TO THE LONG-TERM 
RENTAL MARKET, BUT AS DAVID 
COMMON REPORTS, IT DOESN'T 
ALWAYS TRANSLATE TO GREATER 
AFFORDABILITY.
>> Reporter: FOR YEARS TORONTO 
HAS BEEN CANADA'S MOST-VISITED 
CITY, BUT THAT RECORD DOESN'T 
MEAN MUCH THIS YEAR.
TOURISM, WAY DOWN.
AND DEMAND FOR SHORT-TERM 
RENTALS, LIKE AIRBNB, HAS 
DROPPED 60 TO 75% OVER THE 
SUMMER, FORCING SOME OWNERS TO 
UNLOAD THEIR PROPERTY.
>> SO IT'S REALLY, REALLY TOUGH 
FOR SOME OF THE LANDLORDS TO 
SUSTAIN THAT.
>> Reporter: TAKE TORONTO'S ICE 
CONDOS, 1100 APARTMENTS, PERHAPS
80% OF THEM USED ONLY FOR 
SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
BUT NEARLY HALF HAVE BEEN LISTED
FOR REGULAR RENT SINCE THE 
PANDEMIC BEGAN.
>> SOME OF THEM EVEN CLOSE TO A 
HUNDRED DAYS ON THE MARKET, AND 
THAT'S ALMOST 100 DAYS WITHOUT 
RENT.
HAVE TO PAY YOUR MORTGAGE.
>> Reporter: GOOD NEWS, YOU 
WOULD THINK, FOR TORONTO 
TENANTS, MORE SUPPLY SHOULD MEAN
LOWER PRICES.
EXCEPT THAT ISN'T REALLY 
HAPPENING.
>> THERE WAS A SLIGHT DECREASE, 
AND THE AVERAGE RENTAL PRICE OF 
A ONE-BEDROOM IN TORONTO, IT'S 
STILL $2100.
SO WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY SEEING 
THE DROP, VACANCY RATES KIND OF 
INCREASING AND THEN FOR THE 
PRICES TO COME DOWN.
>> Reporter: TAKE TORONTO'S 
KENSINGTON MARKET, POPULAR WITH 
ARTISTS AND SO TOURISTS CAME TO 
STAY.
THAT PRICED THE ARTISTS OUT.
EVEN WITH URBAN BOOKINGS WAY 
DOWN FOR SITES LIKE AIRBNB, THE 
RENTS HERE AREN'T IN DECLINE.
>> A LOT OF FOLKS THAT RENT IN 
THIS PROVINCE, AND ESPECIALLY IN
TORONTO, THEY DON'T MAKE THAT 
MUCH MONEY.
HALF OF RENTERS IN ONTARIO MAKE 
LESS THAN $40,000 A YEAR.
SO THEY WERE ALREADY STRUGGLING 
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
>> Reporter: THAT PANDEMIC HAS 
PUSHED URBAN DWELLERS TO PLACES 
LIKE THIS, OPEN SPACES AND 
UNCROWDED PLACES.
THERE'S BEEN A MORE THAN TENFOLD
INCREASE IN BOOKINGS SINCE APRIL
IN THIS PICTURESQUE ESCAPE 
COUNTY JUST THREE HOURS FROM 
TORONTO.
>> WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ITALY 
AND GERMANY.
>> YEAH, IT WOULD BE A NICE 
EUROPEAN VACATION, BUT OF COURSE
2020 SEEMED TO HAVE OTHER PLANS.
>> WE HAD A DANUBE CRUISE 
PLANNED THAT WAS CANCELLED.
>> Reporter: THERE AREN'T ENOUGH
HOTELS HERE, AND INVESTORS TOOK 
NOTE, SO ABOUT ONE IN TEN OF THE
HOMES IN THE COUNTY IS NOW ON 
AIRBNB, OR A SITE LIKE IT. 
>> IT'S HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE 
COMMUNITY.
>> Reporter: WE MET TREAT HULL 
IN THE TOWN OF BLOOMFIELD.
A QUARTER OF THE HOMES ON THE 
MAIN STREET ARE NOW SHORT-TERM 
RENTALS.
DOWN THE ROAD IN WELLINGTON, 
IT'S THREE QUARTERS.
WHEN THE TOURISTS PACK UP, 
THERE'S NOT MUCH COMMUNITY LEFT.
BUT WITH DECLINING AFFORDABLE 
STOCK, THE HIGH-RENT PRICES 
STICK AROUND.
>> SO CORROSIVE IN TERMS OF 
POTENTIAL TENSIONS BETWEEN 
NEWCOMERS AND LONGSTANDING 
RESIDENTS.
SO REGULATION, WHICH FOR MY 
MONEY IS EVENHANDED BUT LONG 
OVERDUE AND WILL HAVE THE EFFECT
OF IT WON'T ROLL BACK AIRBNBS, 
BUT IT WILL CAP THEM VERY CLOSE 
TO THEIR CURRENT LEVEL. 
>> Reporter: THAT REGULATION, 
SAYS HULL, INTRODUCED TWO YEARS 
AGO LIMITS HOW MANY SHORT-TERM 
RENTALS CAN EXIST.
HE IS ALSO CHAIRING A NEW 
AFFORDABLE HOUSING EFFORT 
SEEKING TO CREATE PLACES FOR 
THOSE BEING PRICED OUT OF A 
HOME.
>> TERRIBLE.
PEOPLE CAN'T LIVE HERE IN PICTON
BECAUSE OUR RENT'S TOO HIGH.
AND WE HAVE A COUPLE NURSING 
HOMES THAT THEY CAN'T GET 
STAFFED BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T 
COME BECAUSE THERE'S NOWHERE TO 
LIVE, NOWHERE TO LIVE 
AFFORDABLE. 
>> Reporter: AND NOW A NEW 
PANDEMIC FACTOR. 
>> WE ARE STARTING TO SEE A 
MIGRATION OF PEOPLE FROM MORE 
DENSELY POPULATED AREAS TO 
PLACES LIKE PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
WHERE THEY CAN WORK FROM HOME.
>> Reporter: THE COUNTY'S MAYOR,
STEVE FERGUSON, SAYS THEY ARE 
SEEING MORE PEOPLE MOVING, AND 
THAT'S ADDING MORE PRESSURE.
>> SO FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES, I 
THINK THERE'S -- THIS IS 
SOMETHING THAT MAY BE GOOD FOR 
US IN THE LONG TERM.
BUT WHERE EXACTLY IT'S GOING TO 
END UP, I DON'T KNOW.
>> Reporter: AS SHORT-TERM 
RENTAL INVESTORS UNLOAD THEIR 
PLACES ON TO THE REGULAR RENTAL 
MARKET, TENANTS DO HAVE SOME 
GREATER POWER.
>> HOWEVER, IN TERMS OF A MORE 
KIND OF LONG-TERM TREND, WE -- 
IT'S TOO EARLY TO KNOW WHAT'S 
GOING ON.
IT'S BEEN ONLY A FEW MONTHS.
>> Reporter: SHADPOUR HAS 
GREATER OPTIMISM FOR A CITY-WIDE
EFFORT TO PENALIZE CERTAIN
INVESTORS.
>> THOSE SPECULATORS THAT ARE 
BUYING UP A LOT OF OUR HOUSING 
UNITS, KEEPING THEM EMPTY JUST 
SO THAT THEY CAN RENT IT OUT 
HERE AND THERE TO TOURISTS, THAT
THEY ARE TAKING AWAY THAT 
INCENTIVE AND WILL PUT THOSE 
UNITS BACK ON THE HOUSING 
MARKET.
>> Reporter: EVEN IN A PANDEMIC 
WITH DEMAND SHIFTED AND 
GENERALLY DOWN, SHORT-TERM 
RENTALS CONTINUE TO EAT AWAY AT 
AFFORDABILITY, ESPECIALLY FOR 
TENANTS ON THE LOWER END OF THE 
SCALE.
DAVID COMMON, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: AND STILL AHEAD ON 
"THE NATIONAL," IN-DEPTH ON 
HUAWEI.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE RISKS OF 
LETTING THE CHINESE 
TELECOMMUNICATIONS GIANT BUILD 
5G NETWORKS?
PLUS . . . 
>>> THIS ONE BEHIND ME IS 
COVERED, BIG CLUMPS OF IT.
>> Andrew: A NEW PLAGUE HITS 
PARTS OF ONTARIO.
HUNGRY CATERPILLARS ON A FEEDING
FRENZY, JUST AHEAD.
>> Andrew: WELCOME BACK.
AS WE TOLD YOU EARLIER IN THE 
PROGRAM, BRITAIN HAS ORDERED ALL
HUAWEI EQUIPMENT REMOVED FROM 
ITS 5G NETWORK BY 2027.
THE U.S., WHICH ACCUSES THE 
CHINESE TECH COMPANY OF SPYING 
FOR BEIJING, HAS WARNED ITS 
CLOSE ALLIES CUT TIES WITH 
HUAWEI OR BE CUT OFF FROM 
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
THAT LEAVES CANADA THE ONLY 
REMAINING FIVE EYES NATION NOT 
TO BAN HUAWEI IN ITS TIGHT SPOT,
RISK AGGRAVATING THE U.S. WHICH 
WANTS OTTAWA ONSIDE, OR CHINA, 
WHICH DEFENDS ITS TECHNOLOGY AS 
BEING THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
EARLIER THIS YEAR ADRIENNE TOOK 
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL 
BENEFITS AND DANGERS OF SIGNING 
ON.
*
>> Adrienne: THE VIDEO IS NOT 
THAT SOPHISTICATED.
WHAT THESE CHINESE CYBER EXPERTS
ARE DOING IN IT, THOUGH, WELL, 
THAT'S PRETTY CHILLING.
>>[Speaking Foreign Language].
>> Reporter: THEY HACKED INTO A 
TESLA, ARE CONTROLLING IT FROM 
AFAR.
ITS SPEED, ITS WIPERS, EVEN ITS 
BRAKES.
AND TESLA DOESN'T SEEM TO MIND.
IT OFFERED THEM A REWARD FOR 
FINDING THE FLAWS.
>>[Speaking Foreign Language].
>> Reporter: SOME OF THESE HACKS
WERE A FEW YEARS AGO, MEANING 
THE THREATS WILL GROW MORE 
SOPHISTICATED, AND IT'S NOT JUST
TESLA THAT NEEDS TO PAY 
ATTENTION.
>> IT CAN BE CATASTROPHIC.
IT COULD BE A SITUATION WHERE 
THE CAR DOESN'T DETECT THERE'S A
SIDEWALK, DOESN'T DETECT THAT 
THEY NEED TO SLOW DOWN, DOESN'T 
DETECT THEY NEED TO SPEED UP, 
DOESN'T DETECT THERE'S AN OBJECT
THERE.
IF 5G IS REALIZED, THESE ARE THE
ACTUAL KINDS OF SECURITY THREATS
THAT WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF. 
>> Adrienne: CHRIS PARSONS IS 
THE SORT OF PERSON LOOKED TO FOR
ADVICE ON 5G AND SECURITY.
HE'S A RESEARCHER WITH THE 
CITIZEN LAB AT THE MUNK SCHOOL 
IN TORONTO.
ASSESSING CYBERSAFETY, THE FATE 
OF OUR DATA IS HIS EVERYDAY.
5G, HE MAINTAINS, WILL HAVE 
IMPLICATIONS DECADES INTO THE 
FUTURE.
THINK ABOUT THE ROADS AGAIN, HE 
URGES, TO MOVE PEOPLE THROUGH 
THEM MORE EFFICIENTLY WITH LESS 
FUEL CONSUMPTION, FEWER 
ACCIDENTS, FEWER HUMAN DRIVERS 
WILL REQUIRE SENSOR NETWORKS 
THAT CONNECT THE ROADWAYS TO ALL
THE VEHICLES IN REAL TIME.
THAT WILL TAKE A ROBUST AND 
RELIABLE 5G NETWORK. 
>> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE 
NEED TO THINK ABOUT IS THE
NATIONAL SECURITY ARM.
SO THIRD-PARTY STATE, YOU KNOW, 
MANIPULATE THE EQUIPMENT TO 
DETOUR THE PRIME MINISTER'S 
VEHICLE INTO A DITCH, OR 
SOMETHING WORSE, BUT THERE'S 
ALSO A BASELINE CONCERN: IS THE 
TECHNOLOGY SECURE?
>> Adrienne: IS CANADA READY TO 
HAVE HUAWEI BEHIND THAT 5G 
NETWORK?
NORDIC FIRMS NOKIA AND ERICSSON 
DO 5G AS WELL, BUT HUAWEI IS THE
BIGGEST, FASTEST-GROWING AND ONE
OF THE MOST STUDIED PROVIDERS.
*
OHIO-BASED FINITE STATE 
EVALUATES THE SOFTWARE CODE 
EMBEDDED IN DEVICES SO COMPANIES
KNOW THE RISKS BEFORE BUYING 
EQUIPMENT.
HUNDREDS OF THOSE DEVICES HAVE 
BEEN HUAWEI PRODUCTS, AND MATT 
WYCKHOUSE SAYS HE FOUND SERIOUS 
SECURITY FLAWS, INCLUDING 
BACKDOORS THAT COULD ALLOW 
SOMEONE TO TAKE OVER HUAWEI 
EQUIPMENT. 
>> WE WERE ABLE TO 
QUANTITATIVELY SHOW THAT ABOUT A
LITTLE BIT OVER HALF OF THE 
DEVICES WE ANALYZED HAD SOME 
FORM OF BACKDOOR ACCESS 
VULNERABILITY, SOFTWARE THAT WAS
CLOSE TO 20 YEARS OLD INSIDE OF 
IT, FLOPPY SECURITY PRACTICES.
SO WE COULD SEE THAT THE 
DEVELOPERS AT HUAWEI WERE NOT 
NECESSARILY MAKING 
SECURITY-CONSCIOUS DECISIONS 
WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING THESE 
PRODUCTS.
>> Adrienne: HE MAKES THE POINT 
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHY THERE ARE 
VULNERABILITIES, ACCIDENTAL OR 
INTENTIONAL.
THE POTENTIAL HARM IS THE SAME.
>> HUAWEI'S NOT THE ONLY TELCO 
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER THAT HAS 
VULNERABILITIES IN THEIR 
EQUIPMENT.
WE JUST SEE, YOU KNOW, MORE IN 
HUAWEI THAN OTHERS.
THE VULNERABILITIES THAT WE'RE 
FINDING ARE SO EASY TO FIND THAT
ANYONE THAT WOULD WANT TO 
EXPLOIT THEM COULD POTENTIALLY 
DO THAT, WHETHER THAT'S CHINESE 
INTELLIGENCE, WHETHER THAT'S 
RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE, WHETHER 
THAT'S A HACKER GROUP, YOU KNOW,
FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE AROUND THE 
WORLD.
>> Adrienne: IF THE 
VULNERABILITIES ARE SO CLEAR, 
WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT THEM?
IT SEEMS HUAWEI DOES.
IT FUNDS THE HUAWEI 
CYBERSECURITY EVALUATION CENTRE 
IN THE U.K., WHICH HAS AN 
OVERSIGHT BOARD, INCLUDING U.K. 
CYBERSECURITY OFFICIALS AND 
CABINET OFFICE REPRESENTATIVES.
THE BOARD'S 2019 REPORT RAISES 
CONCERNS ABOUT HUAWEI'S SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT AND ADDS "NO 
MATERIAL PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE 
ON THE ISSUES RAISED IN THE 
PREVIOUS 2018 REPORT."
IT CONCLUDED IT COULD "ONLY 
PROVIDE LIMITED ASSURANCE THAT 
ALL RISKS TO U.K. NATIONAL 
SECURITY FROM HUAWEI'S 
INVOLVEMENT IN THE U.K.'S 
CRITICAL NETWORKS CAN BE 
SUFFICIENTLY MITIGATED LONG 
TERM."
WYCKHOUSE HAS QUESTIONS.
IF, AS HE INSISTS, MANY OF THE 
PROBLEMS HE SAYS HIS TEAM 
SPOTTED AREN'T THAT HARD TO FIX,
WHY ISN'T HUAWEI FIXING THEM?
>> THEY DON'T KNOW HOW OR THEY 
ARE CHOOSING NOT TO.
AND IT MAY BE THAT THEY ARE JUST
FOCUSED ON DELIVERING LOW-COST 
SOLUTIONS WITH LOTS OF FEATURES 
AND THE THINGS THEY ARE 
SACRIFICING IS SECURITY. 
>> Reporter: HUAWEI IS CLEAR, IT
STANDS BY ITS WORK.
>> THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OUT 
THERE THAT SHOWS THAT HUAWEI'S 
PRODUCTS ARE MORE VULNERABLE 
THAN NOKIA OR ERICSSON OR SOME 
OTHER COMPETITORS.
>> Reporter: ANDY PURDY WAS ONCE
THE SENIOR CYBERSECURITY OFFICER
FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
HE'S NOW THE CHIEF SECURITY 
OFFICER FOR HUAWEI U.S.A.
>> WE ARE PLEASED THAT WE ARE 
SUBJECT TO SUCH SCRUTINY AROUND 
THE WORLD.
IT'S REALLY A GOOD THING AND IT 
REALLY HELPS US, AND TO BE 
PERFECTLY HONEST, WE THINK OUR 
COMPETITORS WOULD BENEFIT FROM 
THE SAME KIND OF SCRUTINY.
IMPROVEMENTS TO SECURITY ARE A 
CONTINUING THING.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA 
END AT SOME POINT.
WE BELIEVE WE'RE IN A VERY 
STRONG POSITION.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE SOFTWARE 
ENGINEERING REVAMP THAT WE'RE 
DOING IS GOING TO HELP VERY MUCH
WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF THE 
SECURITY OF OUR PRODUCTS.
>> Adrienne: TECHNOLOGICAL 
INTEGRITY IS ONLY ONE CONCERN 
ABOUT HUAWEI.
CANADA HAS TO CONFRONT A LAYER 
OF SUSPICION NOT ABOUT THE 
COMPANY ITSELF BUT ABOUT CHINA'S
REACH.
>> CHINA'S PASSED LEGISLATION 
THAT CAN COMPEL CHINESE DOMICILE
COMPANIES, INCLUDING HUAWEI, 
OBVIOUSLY, TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS
IN THE SERVICE OF NATIONAL 
SECURITY INTERESTS FOR THE 
CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
SO ARE THERE RISKS?
ABSOLUTELY.
>> ONE OF THE KEY ISSUES IS ON 
WHETHER WE WOULD BE FORCED TO 
TURN OVER DATA TO THE CHINA 
GOVERNMENT.
WELL, THE FACT IS WE DON'T HAVE 
THE DATA.
WE CAN'T BE FORCED TO TURN OVER 
DATA WE DON'T HAVE, AND THE FACT
IS THE PROCESSES IN PLACE FOR 
WHETHER, WHEN AND HOW WE'RE 
GOING TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO A 
CANADIAN TELECOM OPERATOR ARE 
VERY, VERY STRICT.
>> Adrienne: HUAWEI IS NOT JUST 
MAKING ASSURANCES.
IT HAS WARNINGS ABOUT WHAT 
HAPPENS IF CANADA SAYS NO.
>> OUR TECHNOLOGY'S THE BEST IN 
THE WORLD, AND IT'S NOT JUST 
ABOUT SPEED.
IT'S ABOUT HOW MUCH DATA COMES 
IN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.
IT'S ABOUT LATENCY.
IT'S ABOUT THE THOUSANDS AND 
THOUSANDS OF CONNECTIONS THAT 
CAN BE MADE.
IT'S ABOUT ENABLING ECONOMIC 
GROWTH IN CANADA.
>> THE FINANCIAL IMPACT ON 
CANADA CAN BE VERY SUBSTANTIAL 
IF HUAWEI'S NOT ALLOWED TO 
COMPETE.
>> Adrienne: SO CONSIDER 
CANADA'S CALCULATIONS NOW.
ECONOMIC GROWTH, SECURITY, 
GEOPOLITICS OF TRADE DEALS, MENG
WANZHOU'S CASE, THE DETENTION OF
TWO CANADIAN CITIZENS IN CHINA, 
ALL ISSUES UNAVOIDABLY ENTANGLED
IN THE DECISION.
AND NOW THE AMERICANS THREATEN 
TO CUT OFF INTELLIGENCE SHARING 
IF CANADA SIGNS ON WITH HUAWEI.
>> CANADA IS A NET IMPORTER OF 
INTELLIGENCE, SO THE RISK IS IF 
WE DO ACQUIRE HUAWEI EQUIPMENT, 
IF WE DO INSTALL IT, WE MAY LOSE
A HUGE TROUGH OF INTELLIGENCE 
THAT WE RELY ON TO PROTECT 
OURSELVES.
>> Adrienne: SOMEWHERE THERE MAY
BE A DECISION THAT SATISFIES NO 
ONE ENTIRELY BUT DOESN'T 
ENTIRELY OFFEND EITHER.
IF THAT EXISTS, CANADA IS LIKELY
LOOKING FOR IT RIGHT NOW.
>> Andrew: AND ONE LAST NOTE ON 
THIS.
THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT DID NOT 
COMMENT TODAY ON THE U.K.'S 
DECISION TO PULL THE PLUG ON 
HUAWEI, BUT A GROWING NUMBER OF 
CANADIAN EXPERTS, INCLUDING 
FORMER DIPLOMATS AND 
INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS, NOW SAY 
IT'S LIKELY ONLY A MATTER OF 
TIME BEFORE CANADA DOES THE SAME
THING.
>>> OKAY, NEXT ON "THE 
NATIONAL," A SWARM TAKES OVER 
SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO, AND THEY 
ARE HUNGRY.
AN EXPLOSION OF GYPSY MOTHS AND 
THEIR CATERPILLARS RIGHT AFTER 
THIS.
>> Andrew: WELL, IF THE PANDEMIC
HAS YOU THINKING 2020 IS CURSED 
SOMEHOW, GET THIS.
A PLAGUE OF RAVENOUS GYPSY MOTH 
CATERPILLARS HAS HIT SOUTHERN 
ONTARIO.
FARRAH MERALI SHOWS US A PEST 
THAT IS DEVOURING LEAFY CANOPIES
AND COULD EVENTUALLY DO WORSE.
>> Reporter: AT FIRST BLUSH, 
THEY LOOK LIKE ANY HARMLESS 
INSECT, SPOTTED HAIRY 
CATERPILLARS INCHING THEIR WAY 
UP TREE BRANCHES, BUT STEP BACK 
AND IT'S CLEAR.
THOSE SMALL CREATURES LEAVE A 
LARGE TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION. 
>> SEEING THE TREES GET EATEN OR
COMPLETELY LOSE THEIR LEAVES 
EVERY YEAR IS ALARMING.
>> Reporter: GYPSY MOTH 
CATERPILLARS ARE CRAWLING ACROSS
SOUTHERN ONTARIO.
THE PROBLEM IS THEIR APPETITE.
>> OAK TREES ARE THEIR ABSOLUTE 
FAVOURITE.
IT'S THEIR VERY FAVOURITE SNACK.
THEY ARE OFTEN FOUND OR BIRCH, 
POPLARS, MAPLES AND SPRUCE OR 
GARDEN PLANTS. 
>> I'VE HEARD ANECDOTALLY THEY 
WILL EAT EVERYTHING INCLUDING 
LAWNS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 
POISON IVY.
>> Reporter: INFESTATIONS HAPPEN
EVERY SEVEN TO TEN YEARS.
THE INSECTS CAN DECIMATE TREES 
BY EATING THROUGH THEIR LEAVES 
OVER AND OVER AGAIN, SIGHTINGS 
HAVE BEEN REPORTED HERE IN 
WATERLOO. 
>> YOU CAN SEE A FEW MORE OF THE
FEMALES ON THESE TREES. 
>> Reporter: THOSE CATERPILLARS 
ARE NOW PUPATING INTO MOTHS, 
LOTS OF THEM, AND LAYING MORE 
EGGS, WHICH MEANS, WELL, MORE 
CATERPILLARS. 
>> IN THE 20 YEARS THAT I'VE 
BEEN HERE, WE'VE NEVER HAD 
ANYTHING LIKE THIS AMOUNT FOR 
SURE. 
>> Reporter: IT'S BEEN SO BAD IN
PARTS OF TORONTO, THEY'VE 
SPRAYED INSECTICIDE. 
>> I COME OUT AND I JUST SPRAY 
THEM WITH SOAPY WATER.
>> Reporter: WHILE SOME TAKE 
MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. 
>> THIS ONE BEHIND ME IS 
COVERED, BIG CLUMPS OF THEM.
>> Reporter: ONE TRICK, HANG 
BURLAP ON TREE TRUNKS.
THE SHADE ATTRACTS MASSES OF 
CATERPILLARS THAT YOU CAN SCRAPE
OFF.
>> HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS THEM 
OUT, BUT I GUESS IT'S JUST 
NATURE, JUST THE CYCLE.
>> A GOOD LONG COLD SPELL.
THAT WILL BASICALLY FREEZE THE 
EGGS AND THEY WON'T HATCH.
>> Reporter: THE HOPE NOW IS A 
LONG AND EXTREMELY COLD WINTER 
MIGHT BREAK THAT CYCLE, 
SOMETHING WHICH CONSERVATIONISTS
WOULD WELCOME.
FARRAH MERALI, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: OKAY, STILL AHEAD, A 
TORONTO MAN FINISHES AN EPIC 
CHALLENGE TO HONOUR GEORGE 
FLOYD.
>> IT'S BEEN A WAYS, THE ENERGY 
HERE IS INCREDIBLE.
>> Andrew: HE'S NOT DONE YET.
HIS STORY, NEXT.
>> Andrew: FOR THE LAST 46 DAYS,
MATTHEW CUESTA OF TORONTO HAS 
BEEN ON A MISSION.
HE PLEDGED TO RIDE 46 KILOMETRES
OR RUN 4.6 KILOMETRES EVERY DAY 
TO HONOUR THE LIFE OF GEORGE 
FLOYD, WHO WAS 46 YEARS OLD WHEN
HE DIED.
TODAY, CUESTA ACHIEVED HIS GOAL.
WHAT WAS A SOLO PLEDGE AT FIRST 
HAS INSPIRED PEOPLE FROM ALL 
OVER THE WORLD, SO HIS JOURNEY 
AND ACHIEVEMENTS ARE OUR 
"MOMENT" TONIGHT.
>> GOOD JOB, MAN.
WELL DONE, MAN!
>> IT'S BEEN A WAYS.
THE ENERGY HERE IS INCREDIBLE.
I HAD NO, NO IDEA IT WOULD START
THIS BIG.
I MADE MY FIRST INSTAGRAM VIDEO 
RIGHT HERE, 46 DAYS AGO WHEN I 
SAID COME JOIN ME ON THE RIDE, 
AND USED THE HASHTAG 
#46forGeorge AND IT'S GROWN INTO
THIS.
>> Andrew: CUESTA'S ULTIMATE 
GOAL WAS TO SPARK UNCOMFORTABLE 
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ANTI-BLACK 
RACISM, AND HE DID WITH TORONTO 
POLICE AND WITH PEOPLE ONLINE.
>> I TRY TO LOOK AT THOSE 
COMMENTS AND INVITE PEOPLE TO 
SPEAK TO ME.
AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE.
AT THE END THEY TOLD ME THEY 
LOVED ME AND THEY WERE JUST 
ANGRY.
AND ONCE WE GET PAST ANGER AND 
BREAK IT DOWN, WE CAN SEE 
CLEARLY AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND 
BETTER.
>> Andrew: SO WHAT'S NEXT?
WELL, FIRST A MASSAGE, THEN MORE
CONVERSATION. 
>> THE CONVERSATION CAN'T STOP.
SOMEONE TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY 
I'VE STARTED IT AND IT'S UP TO 
THE REST OF US TO CARRY IT, AND 
THERE'S SOME TRUTH TO THAT, BUT 
I'M NOT JUST GOING TO SIT DOWN 
AND LET IT DIE.
I CAN'T.
>> Andrew: HMM.
SO SOME REST, CERTAINLY WELL 
DESERVED, AND YOU KNOW, HE SAID 
IN ALL OF THIS HE DIDN'T DO THIS
IN ANY PARTICULAR WAY TO RAISE 
MONEY.
HE MOSTLY JUST WANTED TO SPARK 
CONVERSATIONS, BUT THAT ASIDE, 
HE IS GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT
OF A BREAK, THOUGH NOT FOR LONG,
APPARENTLY.
HE PLANS TO TURN ALL OF THIS, 46
FOR GEORGE, INTO A FOUNDATION.
SO MORE WORK TO BE DONE.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS 
TUESDAY, JULY 14.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
