 >> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M 
 ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
 ANDREW IS OFF.
 HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TAX 
 DOLLARS TO CREATE MORE PRIVACY 
 AT RIDEAU HALL, AND THE 
 GOVERNOR GENERAL STILL HASN'T 
 MOVED?
 
  -- MOVED IN.
 NEW REPORTS OF THE COST 
 INCURRED TO MEET JULIE 
 PAYETTE'S DEMAND.
 >>> THE U.S. REIMPOSES TARIFFS 
 ON CANADIAN ALUMINUM.
 WHY NOW?
 WHAT'S THE IMPACT HERE?
 >>> AN APOLOGY FROM THE TORONTO
 POLICE OVER THEIR HANDLING OF 
 THE DAFONTE MILLER CASE, BUT 
 NOT EVERYONE IS BUYING IT. 
 >> THEY MUST THINK WE'RE 
 STUPID.
 >> Adrienne: IT'S A BIG 
 DECISION FOR ANY PRESIDENTIAL 
 CANDIDATE, SO WHO WILL JOE 
 BIDEN PICK?
 OUR POLITICAL PANEL IS HERE 
 WITH SOME INSIGHTS.
 THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
 >>> WE HAVE EXCLUSIVE DETAILS 
 ON CANADA'S EMBATTLED GOVERNOR 
 GENERAL.
 CBC NEWS HAS LEARN JULIE 
 PAYETTE'S CONCERNS WITH PRIVACY
 HAS COST CANADIANS HUNDREDS OF 
 THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
 CBC NEWS UNCOVERED SOME STRANGE
 AND EXCESSIVE SPENDING ALL TO 
 RENOVATE THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S
 RESIDENT WHERE, THREE YEARS 
 INTO HER MANDATE, SHE HAS YET 
 TO RESIDE.
 ASHLEY BURKE BROKE THE STORY, 
 AND SHE REPORTS ON IT FOR US 
 TONIGHT.
 >> Reporter: IT'S A NATIONAL 
 HISTORIC SITE, THE OFFICIAL 
 HOME TO ALL GOVERNORS GENERAL 
 DATING BACK TO 1867.
 IT'S BEEN LARGELY OPEN TO THE 
 PUBLIC TO WANDER THE GROUNDS OR
 TOUR INSIDE.
 SOURCES SAY THAT LACK OF 
 PRIVACY IS THE REASON THAT 
 GOVERNOR GENERAL JULIE PAYETTE 
 HAS RESISTED LIVING THERE, 
 DESPITE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO 
 UPDATE RIDEAU HALL, CBC NEWS 
 HAS LEARNED THAT THE GOVERNMENT
 HAS REQUESTED EVEN MORE 
 EXPENSIVE CHANGES BEFORE 
 PAYETTE MOVES IN.
 SOURCES SAY THE PROJECT STARTED
 WITH A SECOND DOOR TO THE 
 OUTSIDE SO HER CATS COULD COME 
 AND GO OUTSIDE.
 ALMOST $140,000 WAS ALREADY 
 SPENT ON DESIGN PLANS AND 
 STUDIES BEFORE RIDEAU HALL 
 EVENTUALLY SCRAPPED THE 
 PROJECT.
 ANOTHER $117,000 SPENT 
 INSTALLING NEW ACCESS GATES 
 AROUND PAYETTE'S OFFICE.
 SOURCES SAY THE RCMP DIDN'T 
 REQUIRE THEM FOR SECURITY.
 RATHER, PAYETTE DOESN'T LIKE TO
 SEE MAINTENANCE WORKERS OR 
 OTHER STAFF IN HER LINE OF 
 SIGHT. 
 >> IT'S A GREAT DALE OF MONEY 
 TO PAK A PERMANENT CHANGE.
 >> Reporter: THIS EXPERT ON 
 CANADIAN GOVERNORS GENERAL 
 DISCUSSES THE SPENDING. 
 >> THE MONEY SPEND ON AN 
 INCUMBENT IS PROBLEMATIC AT 
 BEST.
 >> Reporter: OTHERS SAY 
 ACCEPTING THE ROLE OF THE 
 QUEEN'S REPRESENTATIVE MEANS 
 YOU GIVE UP SOME PRIVACY.
 DESPITE ALL THE COSTS, THREE 
 YEARS INTO HER FIVE-YEAR 
 MANDATE, PAYETTE IS STILL 
 LIVING IN A GUEST HOUSE NEARBY,
 USUALLY USED BY FOREIGN 
 DIGNITIARIES.
 THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE ARE 
 STILL ISSUES WITH THE 
 PROPERTY'S ACCESSIBILITY, 
 PRIVACY, AND SECURITY, SO 
 UNLIKE PAST GOVERNORS GENERAL, 
 PAYETTE IS LIVING ELSEWHERE 
 UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF THE 
 WORK.
 ASHLEY BURKE, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
 >> Adrienne: AND PRESIDENT 
 TRUMP HAS SLAPPED A NEW TARIFF 
 ON CANADIAN, UNCONCERNED WITH 
 IMPACTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE 
 BORDER.
 PETER ARMSTRONG LOOKS AT THE 
 ORDER. 
 >> President Donald Trump: 
 EARLIER TODAY, I SIGNED A 
 PROCLAMATION THAT DEFENDS 
 AMERICAN INDUSTRY BY REIMPOSING
 ALUMINUM TARIFFS ON CANADA.
 >> Reporter: JUST WEEKS AFTER 
 THE NEW NAFTA CAME INTO EFFECT,
 PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS 
 THROWING A STICK IN THE SPOKES 
 OF THE U.S.-CANADA TRADE.
 A TARIFF IS JUST A TAX, A TAX 
 ON CANADIAN ALUMINUM. 
 >> WE'RE NOT GOING TO SHUTDOWN 
 SMELTERS OVER THIS.
 >> Reporter: THE REAL HIT WON'T
 BE AGAINST CANADIANS AT ALL. 
 >> HE'S MAKING EVERYTHING FROM 
 FIGHTER JETS TO A CAN OF BEER 
 MORE EXPENSIVE. 
 >> Reporter: BUT TRUMP FEELS 
 THE NEED TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL.
 COVID CASES REMAIN CONCERNINGLY
 HIGH, AND THE ECONOMY IS DOWN, 
 WITH 86 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION.
 >> SO ULTIMATELY, IT'S AMERICAN
 CONSUMERS THAT WILL PAY.
 THAT'S THE KIND OF SMART 
 RESPONSE. 
 >> Reporter: SO THE QUESTION IS
 LESS WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE 
 CANADIAN INDUSTRY AND MORE HOW 
 WILL A LIBERAL MINORITY IN 
 OTTAWA RESPOND TO THIS LATEST 
 PROVOCATION.
 PETER ARMSTRONG, CBC NEWS, 
 TORONTO.
 >> Adrienne: NOW PETER TOUCHED 
 ON SOMETHING THERE.
 THIS DOES FEEL POLITICAL AS 
 MUCH AS IT DOES ECONOMIC, SO 
 LET'S BRING IN ROB RUSSO, 
 PARLIAMENTARY BUREAU CHIEF FOR 
 CBC NEWS.
 ROB, IT DOES FEEL LITTLE THAT 
 TRUMP MADE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IN
 THE RUST BOLT.
 SO WHY THIS, WHY NOW?
 >> WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT 
 THE ELECTION WOULD RUMBLE 
 THROUGH THE ALUMINUM SMELTERS 
 IN QUEBEC?
 NO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE HAS WON
 THE PRESIDENCY WITHOUT WINNING 
 OHIO.
 TRUMP IS BEHIND IN THE POLLS 
 THERE BY A POINT OR TWO, AND 
 THERE ARE 85 DAYS TO GO BEFORE 
 THE ELECTION IN THE UNITED 
 STATES.
 >> Adrienne: WHAT RESPONSE DOES
 THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT HAVE TO
 THIS, AND WHAT ARE THEIR 
 OPTIONS?
 >> Reporter: DEPUTY PRIME 
 MINISTER CHRYSTIA FREELAND SAYS
 THEY'RE GOING TO MATCH THE 
 TARIFFS DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, BUT 
 IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS 
 WIDESPREAD, FOR EXAMPLE, 
 KENTUCKY FOR BOURBON, FLORIDA 
 FO
 FOR ORANGES, BECAUSE IT'S 
 SECTOR TARIFFS.
 THEY MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 
 JOE BIDEN IS ELECTED IN 
 NOVEMBER.
 >> Adrienne: JUSTIN TRUDEAU, 
 MEANWHILE, ECHOED HIS DEPUTY'S 
 TOUGH TALK IN A TWEET LATE 
 TONIGHT, MENTIONING THE 
 DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR RETALIATION, 
 SAYING WE WILL ALWAYS STANDUP 
 FOR OUR ALUMINUM WORKERS.
 WE DID SO IN 2018, WE WILL DO 
 SO AGAIN NOW.
 >>> ALLEGATIONS IN A NEW 
 LAWSUIT READ LIKE A SPY NOVEL.
 A FORMER TOP SAUDI INTELLIGENCE
 OFFICER NOW LIVING IN CANADA IS
 ACCUSING PRINCE MOHAMMED BIN 
 SALMAN IS PUTTING A HIT OUT ON 
 HIM.
 EVAN DYER LAYS IT ALL OUT.
 >> Reporter: THE LAWSUIT CAME 
 AT A TIME WHEN RELATIONS 
 BETWEEN CANADA AND SAUDI ARABIA
 IS WORSE THAN IT'S EVER BEEN.
 IN OCTOBER 2018, A HIT SQUAD 
 SENT FROM SAUDI ARABIA LURED 
 WASHINGTON-BASED DISSIDENT 
 JAMAL KHASOGGHI TO THE SAUDI 
 CONSULATE IN ISTANBUL, WHERE 
 THEY MURDERED HIM AND 
 DISMEMBERED HIS BODY WITH A 
 SAW.
 A LAWSUIT TODAY SAYS A SECOND 
 SAUDI HIT SQUAD TRAVELLED BY 
 AIR TO TORONTO AND ATTEMPTED TO
 ENTER THIS COUNTRY ON TOURIST 
 VISAS, BUT CANADA BOARD OF 
 SERVICE AGENTS WERE SUSPICIOUS 
 AND REFUSED THEM ENTRY.
 THE LAWSUIT SAYS THEIR TARGET 
 WAS THIS MAN, MAJOR GENERAL 
 SAAD ALJABRI, A FORMER FINANCE 
 MINISTER WHO LIVES IN EXILE IN 
 TORONTO.
 >> SO HE MAY KNOW SOME -- SOME 
 SECRETS AND SOME DETAILS, 
 QUOTE, UNQUOTE, WHERE THE 
 BODIES ARE BURIED, LITERALLY 
 AND FIGURATIVELY, AS WELL. 
 >> Reporter: THE GOVERNMENT 
 SAYS IT WILL INVESTIGATE. 
 >> WE WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY 
 FOREIGN ACTORS IN CANADA.
 WE WILL TAKE ALL MEASURES BY 
 SECURITY SERVICES AND OTHER 
 SERVICES TO PROTECT OUR 
 CITIZENS AND WHOEVER IS ON 
 CANADIAN SOIL.
 >> Reporter: ALJABRI IS HARDLY 
 A PARAGON OF VIRTUE HIM.
 WHAT MAKES HIM DANGEROUS IS HIS
 RELATIONSHIP TO MOHAMED BIN 
 NAHRI, NOW IN PRISON, PLACED 
 THERE BY HIS OLDER BROTHER, 
 MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN.
 >> Adrienne: -- PROTESTING 
 AGAINST A GOVERNMENT THEY SAY 
 DOES NOT PROTECT THEM.
 TODAY, THE CALLS FOR CHANGE 
 CAME FROM SOMEONE ELSE, TOO.
 FRANCE'S PRESIDENT.
 HERE'S RENEE PHILIPPONI. 
 >> Reporter: THERE IS LITTLE 
 THAT STOOD BETWEEN GEORGE 
 FERON'S PARENTS HOME AND THE 
 THOUSANDS OF TONNES OF 
 CHEMICALS THAT TRIGGERED 
 DESTRUCTION ACROSS BEIRUT. 
 >> YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DAMAGE.
 I'M HAPPY THAT MY PARENTS WERE 
 IN THE ROOMS INSIDE.
 THEY ARE SAFE, THANK GOD, BUT 
 MUCH WOUNDED.
 >> Reporter: HE SAYS HE DOESN'T
 UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD 
 HAPPEN. 
 >> THIS IS TOO MUCH, AND WHO'S 
 RESPONSIBLE?
 I DON'T KNOW.
 >> Reporter: WHILE PEOPLE LOOK 
 FOR ANSWERS, THE SEARCH 
 CONTINUES FOR THOSE STILL 
 MISSING, AND A CLEANUP IS JUST 
 BEGINNING.
 IN THIS DEEPLY WOUNDED CITY, 
 ENTER FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL
 MACRON, THE FIRST WORLD LEADER 
 TO VISIT, TOURING WHAT'S LEFT 
 OF THE PORTS, AND DRAWING A 
 CROWD OF LOCALS NEARBY, WHERE 
 DESPERATE CALLS CAME FROM 
 PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST FAITH IN 
 THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT, WHICH 
 THEY SAY IS CORRUPT.
 
 MACRON WAS CLEAR, THERE IS 
 LONG-TE
 LONG-TERM ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE,
 BUT POLITICAL REFORM IN THE 
 COUNTRY MUST HAPPEN.
 IT IMPLIES A HISTORIC 
 RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CURRENT 
 LEADERS, HE SAYS.
 THIS CRISIS IS POLITICAL, 
 MORAL, ECONOMIC, AND FINANCIAL,
 AND THE PRIMARY VICTIM IS THE 
 LEBANESE PEOPLE.
 AMONG THOSE PEOPLE, GEORGES 
 DEVILLE WAS CARRIED TO HIS 
 FINAL RESTING PLACE.
 HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, 
 DONATING BLOOD, MOMENTS BEFORE 
 THE EXPLOSION.
 PUBLIC ANGER AMIDALLEGATIONS OF
 CORRUPTION AND MISMANAGEMENT 
 SAW A CROWD TURN ON A LEBANESE 
 POLITICIAN.
 A SENT OF PERMANENT HENCE CE IS SETTING
 IN FOR AMINA.
 SHE SAYS IT'S NOT JUST HER HOME
 THAT'S UNLIVEABLE, SHE'S GIVING
 UP ON LEBANON. 
 >> WE HOPE TO GO TO ANOTHER 
 COUNTRY THAT RESPECTS, RESPECTS
 US, RESPECTS THE HUMAN BECAUSE 
 HERE, THEY DIDN'T RESPECT US. 
 >> Reporter: RENEE, PHILIPPONI,
 CBC NEWS, LONDON.
 >> Adrienne: THE GOVERNOR OF 
 BEIRUT ESTIMATES AT LEAST 
 300,000 PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS 
 BECAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION, BUT 
 AS REBECCA COLLARD SHOWS US, 
 PEOPLE ARE STEPPING UP TO HELP.
 >> Reporter: THERE'S THOUSANDS 
 OF VOLUNTEERS FROM ACROSS THE 
 COUNTRY THAT DESCENDED ON THE 
 CITY.
 THEY'RE TRYING TO HELP SWEEP 
 UP, CLEANUP DEBRIS, AND ASSIST 
 THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY 
 THAT WERE SO BADLY AFFECTED.
 >> THE UNITY OF THE LEBANESE 
 PEOPLE WILL GET US THROUGH 
 THIS. 
 >> Reporter: THIS WOMAN LIVES 
 HERE, AND SHE TAKES US UP THREE
 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS TO AN 
 APARTMENT WHERE SHE'S LIVED FOR
 30 YEARS.
 DO YOU HAVE THE SUPPLIES YOU 
 NEED?
 >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.
 WHERE DO YOU WANT TO PUT THE 
 FOOD?
 WE DON'T HAVE ELECTRICITY, 
 NOBODY.
 NOBODY CAN HELP US.
 >> CAN THE VOLUNTEERS HELP YOU?
 >> YEAH. 
 >> Reporter: THAT'S GREAT. 
 >> YEAH, VERY, VERY HUMAN.
 NOT ONLY KIND, BUT HUMAN. 
 >> Reporter: SO I'M ACTUALLY 
 INSIDE A HOME OF A LEBANESE 
 CANADIAN.
 SHE WAS GETTING HER CORONAVIRUS
 TESTS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, 
 HOPING SHE COULD GO BACK.
 THIS IS THE INSIDE OF HER HOME 
 IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT THERE
 ARE HUNDREDS OF HOMES IN THIS 
 NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAVE BEEN 
 AFFECTED BY THE EXPLOSION, AND 
 THE VOLUNTEERS ARE DOING THE 
 BEST THEY CAN TO HELP PEOPLE 
 CLEANUP, BUT THERE IS JUST SO 
 MUCH WORK TO BE DONE.
 REBECCA COLLARD, CBC NEWS, 
 BEIRUT. 
 >> Adrienne: WE HAVE ONE MORE 
 STORY OUT OF BEIRUT.
 THIS IS GEORGE, INCREDIBLE 
 STORY OF HIS ENTRY INTO THIS 
 WORLD A LITTLE LATER.
 >>> AND THERE'S BIG POLITICAL 
 NEWS OUT OF NOVA SCOTIA TODAY.
 STEPHEN McNEIL IS STEPPING DOWN
 AFTER 17 YEARS OF POLITICS. 
 >> I'M VERY PROUD OF MY RECORD.
 I'M PROUD OF WHAT WE WERE ABLE 
 TO DO AS A TEAM, BUT NOW, IT'S 
 TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO LEAVE 
 THE PROVINCE. 
 >> Adrienne: McNEIL SAYS HE'S 
 BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR A 
 LONG TIME, BUT DELAYED THE 
 DECISION BECAUSE OF THE 
 PANDEMIC.
 HE SAID HE WILL STAY ON UNTIL 
 THE PARTY CHOOSES A NEW LEADER.
 >>> AND TONIGHT, U.S. PRESIDENT
 DONALD TRUMP SIGNED AN 
 EXECUTIVE ORDER PROHIBITING 
 CITIZENS FROM DOING BUSINESS 
 WITH TIK TOK.
 THE ORDER TAKES EFFECT IN 40 
 DAYS.
 MICROSOFT IS REPORTEDLY IN 
 TALKS TO BUY THE APP.
 >>> THE TORONTO POLICE SERVICE 
 HAS APOLOGIZED FOR A VICIOUS 
 ATTACK COMMITTED BY ONE OF ITS 
 OWN OFF DUTY OFFICERS.
 THE ASSAULT LEFT A YOUNG BLACK 
 MAN BLIND IN ONE EYE, BUT IT 
 WASN'T INITIALLY REPORTED TO 
 ONTARIO'S POLICE WATCHDOG, THE 
 S.I.U.
 >> Reporter: DAFONTE MILLER'S 
 SWOLLEN AND DISFIGURED FACE 
 TOLD THE STORY OF A BRUTAL 
 BEATING AT THE HANDS OF AN OFF 
 DUTY TORONTO POLICE OFFICER AND
 HIS BROTHER.
 THE THEN 19-YEAR-OLD EVEN LOST 
 AN EYE.
 FOR THE LAST 3.5 YEARS, 
 QUESTIONS HAVE LINGERED.
 WHY WASN'T THE OFF-DUTY 
 OFFICER, MICHAEL THERIAULT, 
 IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO 
 TORONTO'S POLICE SPECIAL 
 INVESTIGATIONS UNIT.
 TONIGHT, AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM 
 TORONTO'S INTERIM POLICE CHIEF.
 IT DECIDED NOT TO REPORT THE 
 OFFICER BECAUSE HE WAS OFF DUTY
 AT THE TIME.
 >> AS A RESULT, TRUST HAS BEEN 
 BROKEN BETWEEN THE POLICE, 
 DAFONTE MILLER, AND THE GENERAL
 COMMUNITY.
 FOR THAT, ON ABOVE OF THE 
 TORONTO POLICE SHA-- ON BEHALF OF 
 THE TORONTO POLICE SERVICE, I 
 WAS TO APOLOGIZE.
 >> WE UNDERSTAND CLEARLY NOW 
 THE LEGISLATION DOES NOT 
 DISTINGUISH BETWEEN ON DUTY AND
 OFF DUTY CONDUCT, AND NEITHER 
 WILL WE. 
 >> SO JUST SAYING OH, WE DIDN'T
 KNOW ABOUT THAT YEARS LATER IS 
 NOT ACCOUNTABILITY. 
 >> Reporter: BLACK ACTIVIST 
 DESMOND COLE IS SAYING EVEN 
 KNOW, IT'S NOT BEING HONEST. 
 >> IT'S ASKING US TO SAY OH, 
 WHEN ONE OF TORONTO'S POLICE 
 OFFICERS BEATS SOMEONE AND 
 CAUSES A LIFELONG INJURY, THAT 
 MAYBE THEY SHOULD CALL THE 
 S.I.U., BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW 
 THAT 3.5 YEARS AGO, BUT THEY 
 DIDN'T KNOW THAT BETWEEN THEN 
 AND NOW, BUT TODAY, THEY 
 REALIZE THAT.
 THEY MUST THINK WE'RE STUPID. 
 >> Reporter: AND THERE WAS 
 SECRECY AROUND THE REPORT.
 ONLY THE POLICE AND THE VICTIM 
 HAVE COPIES. 
 >> THIS WAS A PUBLIC 
 INSTITUTION WRITING A REPORT ON
 ANOTHER PUBLIC INSTITUTION, AND
 FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THAT 
 REPORT SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC. 
 >> Reporter: THAT COULD HAPPEN 
 AS SOON AS TOMORROW, WHEN 
 DAFONTE MILLER AND HIS LAWYER 
 ARE EXPECTED TO SPEAK. 
 >> Adrienne: AND A NEW REPORT 
 SHOWS THAT MORE CANADIANS ARE 
 HURTING THEMSELVES THROUGH 
 SELF-HARM LAST YEAR.
 SUSANA da SILVA HAS THE 
 DETAILS. 
 >> Reporter: IT WAS A JOURNEY 
 THEY BEGAN TOGETHER, BUT SHE IS
 FINISHING APART. 
 >> BEING A WIDOW OF SOMEONE WHO
 TOOK THEIR OWN LIFE IS NOT 
 SOMETHING I WISH ON ANYONE.
 RAISING A SON BY MYSELF WHO 
 DOESN'T HAVE A FATHER, I WANT 
 PEOPLE TO TAKE THEIR MENTAL 
 HEALTH SERIOUSLY.
 >> Reporter: THIS WOMAN'S 
 HUSBAND, JEREMY, STRUGGLED WITH
 ANXIETY BEFORE TAKING HIS OWN 
 LIFE.
 THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE A 
 COUNCILLOR, BUT NOT EVERYBODY 
 CAN GET ACCESS TO A DOCTOR. 
 >> IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO 
 A DOCTOR OR COUNSELING, 
 UNFORTUNATELY, THE FIRST LINE 
 OF DEFENCE IS THE EMERGENCY 
 ROOM. 
 >> Reporter: 3800 DIED BY 
 SUICIDE IN 2019, AND THE DATA 
 FOUND THAT YOUNG WOMEN AND 
 GIRLS AGED 10 TO 24 WERE THREE 
 TIMES AS LIKELY AS YOUNG MEN 
 AND BOYS IN THE SAME AGE GROUP 
 WERE MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT 
 SELF-HARM. 
 >> GOING TO COLLEGE, FIGURING 
 OUT YOUR COURSE OF STUDY AND 
 WAY THROUGH LIFE, IT'S A HUGE 
 STRUGGLE. 
 >> Reporter: GETTING HELP, 
 ESPECIALLY FOR MARGINALIZED 
 GROUPS, CAN BE CHALLENGING, AND
 THAT WAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
 THE CANADIAN MENTAL HEALTH 
 ASSOCIATION FOUND MORE 
 CANADIANS ARE HAVING SUICIDAL 
 THOUGHTS AND THE WARNING SIGNS 
 ARE THERE. 
 >> IT'S STILL INCREDIBLY 
 DIFFICULT AND LONELY AND 
 ISOLATING. 
 >> Reporter: McHAIL SAYS IT IS 
 DISTURBING AND TROUBLING TO SEE
 THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE REACHING 
 OUT FOR HELP, BUT IT'S POSITIVE
 TO SEE THE NUMBER OF RESOURCES 
 COMING ON-LINE.
 >> Adrienne: IF YOU NEED HELP, 
 YOU CAN CALL KIDS HELP LINE.
 PEOPLE ARE AVAILABLE AROUND THE
 CLOCK.
 >>> AND AROUND THE COUNTRY, 
 PARENTS AND TEACHERS ARE TELL 
 US THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT BACK 
 TO SCHOOL. 
 >> THIS PLAN IS LIKE A CHILD 
 WHO LEFT THEIR TERM PAPER TO 
 THE LAST MINUTE AND IS 
 SURPRISED THEY GOT AN F.

 DISTRICTS SAY THEY'LL HAVE TO 
 SHELL OUT FOR SAFETY.

 HURRICANE SEASON DURING A 
 PANDEMIC.

 IT MAY FEEL HARD TO BELIEVE, 
 BUT NEXT WEEK MARKS FIVE MONTHS
 SINCE COVID-19 TURNED CANADA ON
 ITS HEAD.
 ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INFECTION 
 NUMBERS ARE MOSTLY DOWN, OR AT 
 LEAST FLAT.
 B.C. TODAY, SAME AS YESTERDAY, 
 WITH 47 NEW CASES.
 ALBERTA REPORTED 56, ABOUT HALF
 OF YESTERDAY'S TOTAL.
 QUEBEC SAW 133, ALSO DOWN.
 ONTARIO WAS DOWN SLIGHTLY TO 
 95, BUT MANITOBA SAW ITS 
 HIGHEST SPIKE IN CASES SINCE 
 MARCH, WITH 35 NEW CASES.
 STILL, OFFICIALS CALL IT 
 MANAGEABLE. 
 >> WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO 
 IMPOSE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS
 BECAUSE WE THINK THAT IF WE 
 STICK WITH THOSE FUND GENTLEMAMENTALS 
 RATHER THAN SHUTTING THINGS 
 DOWN. 
 >> Adrienne: 16 OF THOSE CASES 
 ARE FROM A CLUSTER IN BRAMPTON 
 AND SOMEBODY WHO TRAVELLED 
 OUTSIDE THE PROVINCE WHO DID 
 NOT SELF-ISOLATE.
 >>> IS IT ANY WONDER THAT 
 PARENTS AND TEACHERS ARE SO 
 WORRIED ABOUT THE LOOMING 
 SCHOOL YEAR?
 AS DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON TELLS 
 US, SOME FEAR THE SCHOOL SAFETY
 PLANS AREN'T SAFE ENOUGH.
 >> Reporter: THIS RETIRED 
 TEACHER IS NOT USED TO HER WORK
 BEING WIDELY SHARED ON THE 
 INTERNET. 
 >> THE MINISTRY GUIDELINE 
 DOESN'T ADDRESS THAT. 
 >> Reporter: BUT THAT'S EXACTLY
 WHAT HAPPENED.
 WENDY GOODS LOOKED AT ONTARIO'S
 SCHOOL REOPENING PLANS AND 
 LINES IT UP AGAINST CHILDREN'S 
 HOSPITALS RECOMMENDATIONS, 
 FORMING A CHART. 
 >> THEY TEND TO CHOOSE THE 
 OPTIONS THAT DON'T COST A LOT 
 OF MONEY. 
 >> Reporter: THE MORE EXPENSIVE
 RECOMMENDATIONS, SHE SAID, WERE
 IGNORED, LIKE GOOD VENTILATION.
 >> MANY CLASSROOMS HAVE NO 
 WINDOWS THAT OPEN.
 SOME CLASSROOMS HAVE NO WINDOWS
 AT ALL. 
 >> Reporter: A PETITION IN 
 ONTARIO SIGNED BY MORE THAN 
 150,000 PARENTS CALLED FOR A 
 REDUCTION IN CLASS SIZES, 
 SOMETHING THAT ONTARIO'S 
 GOVERNMENT HAS PLANNED FOR HIGH
 SCHOOLS BUT NOT ELEMENTARY 
 SCHOOLS. 
 >> I WANT TO GET AS SMALL 
 CLASSROOMS AS POSSIBLE WITHIN 
 CERTAIN PARAMETRES.
 LET'S MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT 
 THIS.
 WE HAVE THE BEST PLAN, BAR 
 NONE, OVER ANY PROVINCE.
 >> Reporter: ONE THING IS FOR 
 SURE, OTHER PROVINCIAL PLANS 
 ARE ALSO GETTING CRITICIZED BY 
 PARENTS. 
 >> THIS PLAN IS LIKE A CHILD 
 WHO LEFT HIS TERM PAPER TO THE 
 LAST MINUTE AND IS SURPRISED 
 THEY GOT AN .
 AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE NEED 
 TO FIGURE OUT A WAY SO THAT WE 
 CAN CUT THE NUMBER OF KIDS IN A
 SCHOOL AT ANY GIVEN TIME BY 
 ABOUT HALF.
 >> Reporter: IN BRITISH 
 COLUMBIA, WHICH WILL HAVE 
 MANDATORY IN-CLASS INSTRUCTION 
 BUT NOT MANDATORY MASKS, PEOPLE
 HAVE BEEN PUSHING TO DELAY THE 
 REOPENING OF SCHOOLS. 
 >> TODAY, WE'RE FOCUSED ON 
 STARTING THE SCHOOL YEAR AS WE 
 HAVE PLANS. 
 >> Reporter: DAVID AND WENDY 
 ARE CONFIDENT THEIR ACTIVISM 
 WILL BE HEARD BY THE GOVERNMENT
 BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO 
 GET THIS WRONG.
 DEANA SUMANAC-JOHNSON, CBC 
 NEWS, TORONTO.
 >> Adrienne: NEXT UP ON "THE 
 NATIONAL," AWAITING JOE BIDEN'S
 VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK.
 >>> PLUS, GETTING READY FOR 
 THIS YEAR'S HURRICANE SEASON.
 WHY IT MEANS MORE THIS YEAR TO 
 BE PREPARED.
 >>> PLUS, ACTOR BRENT CARVER 
 HAS DIED AT THE AGE OF 68.
 CARVER PLAYED THEATRES ACROSS 
 THE COUNTRY AND ABROAD, BUT HE 
 HAD A SPECIAL BOND WITH THE 
 STRATFORD FESTIVAL, SHINING IN 
 EVERYTHING FROM HAMLET TO JESUS
 CHRIST SUPERSTAR.
 [*]
 >> Adrienne: CARVER WON A TONY 
 AWARD FOR KISS OF THE SPIDER 
 WOMAN ON BROADWAY, BUT HE 
 ALWAYS CAME HOME, AND HOME IS 
 WHERE HE

 PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN NOW NEEDS 
 HIS OWN VICE PRESIDENTIAL 
 CANDIDATE.
 THAT COULD COME ANY DAY NOW, SO
 BEING PREPARED FOR SPECULATION 
 AND ROGUE TESTING OF 
 CANDIDATES.
 IT WILL BE A WOMAN, AND IT WILL
 BE A WOMAN OF COLOUR.
 BIDEN IS CLEAR, HE WANTS 
 SOMEBODY FOCUSED ON THE JOB AND
 NOT ON A PRESIDENTIAL RUN, BUT 
 AT 78 YEARS OLD, CHOOSING 
 SOMEONE CAPABLE OF STEPPING UP 
 IS JUST PRACTICAL, SO WHO'S ON 
 THE SHORT LIST?
 THE LAST WEEK HAS SEEN A LOT OF
 ATTENTION ON KAREN VASS, A 
 CONGRESS WOMAN FROM CALIFORNIA.
 >> I DO BELIEVE THAT BIDEN WILL
 BE A HEALER IN CHIEF, AND WE 
 CERTAINLY NEED THAT NOW.
 >> Adrienne: WITH EXPERIENCE AS
 A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND A 
 PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANCE, SHE HAS
 QUIET PRESENCE AND EXPERIENCE, 
 BUT SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE 
 EXPERIENCE OF KAMALA HARRIS.
 THE SENATOR HAS KNOWN BIDEN FOR
 A LONG TIME, BUT WENT HARD AT 
 TIME DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL 
 DEBATES. 
 >> DO YOU AGREE TODAY THAT YOU 
 WERE WRONG TO OPPOSE BUSSING IN
 AMERICA THEN.
 DO YOU AGREE?
 >> I DID NOT OPPOSE BUSSING IN 
 AMERICA. 
 >> THAT RESULTED IN LOBBYING BY
 SOME IN DEMOCRATIC AREAS.
 IF SHE GETS PASSED OVER, THAT 
 MOMENT MAY EXPLAIN IT.

 AND THEN, THERE'S SUSAN RICE.
 OBA
 OBA
 OBAMA'S FORMER NATIONAL 
 SECURITY ADVISOR HAD AN OFFICE 
 IN THE WHITE HOUSE CLOSE TO 
 BIDEN'S, WAS A RHODES SCHOLAR.
 SHE HAS THE FAMILIARITY AND 
 EXPERIENCE THAT HE'D WANT, BUT 
 POLITICAL OBSERVERS SUGGEST SHE
 MIGHT BE A MAGNET FOR 
 CONTROVERSY THAT REPUBLICANS 
 WOULD SEIZE ON THE ATTACKS AT 
 THE 'EMBASSY IN BENGHAZI, LIBYA.
 BENGHAZI BAGGAGE MAY FOLLOW HER
 AROUND.
 KEEP YOUR EYES ON SENATOR TAMMY
 DUCK BACK A
 DUCKWORTH.
 SHE'S A PURPLE HEART RECIPIENT 
 AND AN IRAQI WAR RECEIVETERAN, AND 
 SHE COMES FROM A SOLIDLY 
 REPUBLICAN STATE, AND BIDEN MAY
 WANT HER FOR SUPPORT IN PLACES 
 LIKE FLORIDA. 
 >> AND THEN, VAL DEMINGS, WHO'S
 PUSHED HARD ON BRIDGING THE 
 RACIAL DIVIDE IN POLICING.
 MANY ARGUE SHE DIDN'T PUSH HARD
 ENOUGH.
 HER RECORD COULD HELP OR HURT.
 FUNDAMENTALLY, THOUGH, BIDEN 
 WANTS A RUNNING MATE WHO CAN 
 ENERGYIZE VOTERS AND BRING THEM
 TOGETHER.
 NOW NO MATTER WHICH WOMAN HE 
 CHOOSES, IT COULD VERY WELL BE 
 SOMEONE NOT ON THAT LIST.
 THE SLEEVES ARE BEING ROLLED UP
 FOR PREPARATION FOR SOME 
 VICIOUS ATTACKS, SOMETHING 
 EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE ON THAT 
 LIST HAS SEEN BEFORE.
 WITH ME TO TALK ABOUT THE V.P. 
 CHOICE AND THE SELECTION AND 
 WHAT IT MEANS FOR OUR 
 NEIGHBOURS AND THIS COUNTRY, IS
 ERIN HAINES, EDITOR OF THE 19, 
 A PUBLICATION FOCUSING ON 
 POLICY, POLITICS AND GENDER, 
 AND DAVID FREY, SENIOR EDITOR 
 AT THE ATLANTIC.
 ERIN, WE'LL START WITH YOU.
 WHAT DO YOU TAKE AWAY FROM JOE 
 BIDEN ANNOUNCING HE WAS GOING 
 TO PICK A WOMAN AT HIS VICE 
 PRESIDENT.
 -- AS HIS VICE PRESIDENT.
 WHAT DO YOU TAKE AWAY FROM 
 THAT?
 >> WELL, JOE BIDEN WAS THE 
 FRONT RUNNER FOR MUCH OF THE 
 2020 DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, SO 
 THAT, IN THOSE VOTERS' MINDS 
 ALREADY SETS THE STAGE FOR A 
 CONTEST BETWEEN TWO WHITE MEN 
 IN THEIR 70s IN A COUNTRY WHERE
 THE MAJORITY OF THE ELECTORATE 
 IS WOMEN, SO FOR HIM SIGNALING 
 HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A WOMAN 
 RUNNING MATE ON THE TICKET IS A
 SIGN OF NOT ONLY WHO THE 
 ELECTORATE MAJORITY IS IN THIS 
 COUNTRY BUT THE FUTURE OF THE 
 DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
 >> Adrienne: WE KNOW THAT 
 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AREN'T 
 CHOSEN ON THE STAKES OF THEIR 
 V.P. CHOICE, BUT THERE'S A LOT 
 AT STAKE THIS TIME. 
 >> THIS IS A REFERENDUM ON 
 MISMANAGEMENT OF THE EPIDEMIC, 
 MISMANAGEMENT OF THE ECONOMY.
 JOE BIDEN, IF HE WERE TAKING 
 ADVICE FROM ME, MY ADVICE WOULD
 BE, REMEMBER, YOU'RE NOT GOING 
 TO LIVE FOREVER.
 YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER HE'S THE 
 OLDEST PERSON EVER TO BECOME 
 PRESS, AND THERE IS A PANDEMIC.
 THERE ARE REALLY TWO 
 CONSIDERATIONS.
 THE FIRST ONE IS TO PICK 
 SOMEONE WHO, ON DAY ONE, IF 
 NEED BE, TO PICK SOMEONE WHO 
 COULD HANDLE A NATIONAL OR 
 INTERNATIONAL CRISIS, AND 
 SOMEBODY WHO'S PLAYED POLITICS 
 AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL BEFORE 
 BECAUSE THIS IS A HARD GAME.
 THIS IS NO PLACE TO START YOUR 
 POLITICAL CAREER. 
 >> Adrienne: OKAY.
 IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A HUNCH
 WHO HE'LL PICK. 
 >> I HAVE NO IDEA WHO HE'LL 
 PICK, BUT I'LL SAY IT SHOULD BE
 SOMEBODY -- OF THE PEOPLE THAT 
 YOU MENTIONED, THAT KAMALA 
 HARRIS AND SUSAN RICE ARE IN A 
 DIFFERENT LEAGUE THAN THE 
 PEOPLE WHO HAVE SERVED IN THE 
 HOUSE.
 SUSAN RICE HAS BEEN A CRISIS 
 MANAGER, AND KAMALA HARRIS HAS 
 RUN A NATIONAL RACE, SO THEY 
 COME READY TO PLAY AN EXTREMELY
 DIFFICULT GAME.
 I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING 
 THAT CAN GET YOU READY FOR HOW 
 HARD IT IS IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE 
 IT BEFORE. 
 >> Adrienne: ERIN, DO YOU HAVE 
 ANY THOUGHTS ON WHO YOU THINK 
 OR WHO YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE 
 HIM PICK?
 >> OH, NO.
 I'M OUT OF AMERICAN POLITICS, 
 FOR SURE, BUT JOE BIDEN IS 
 GOING TO PICK A WOMAN, WHICH, 
 FOR THE THIRD TIME IN OUR 
 HISTORY, IS HAPPENING.
 IT'S A QUESTION OF WHETHER IT'S
 THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM OR THREE
 STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT.
 >> Adrienne: SO HOW LONG DO YOU
 GIVE IT BEFORE THE MISOGYNYSTIC
 ATTACKS BEGIN?
 >> OH, THEY'VE ALREADY BEGUN.
 EVEN THOUGH THE VOTERS DON'T 
 GET TO CHOOSE WHO THE VICE 
 PRESIDENT PRESIDENTIAL RUNNING 
 MATE IS, ULTIMATELY, THAT 
 CHOICE IS UP TO JOE BIDEN, 
 WE'RE ALREADY SEEING SOME OF 
 THOSE SAME TROPES BEING THROWN 
 AROUND, QUESTIONS ABOUT 
 AMBITION, AS IF THAT'S NOT WHAT
 POLITICS IS ALL ABOUT.
 QUESTIONS OF LIKABILITY: DOES 
 KAMALA HARRIS RUB PEOPLE THE 
 WRONG WAY, OR EVEN QUESTIONS 
 ABOUT -- QUESTIONS THAT REALLY 
 FOCUS MORE ON PERSONALITY 
 TRAITS THAN THE QUALIFICATIONS 
 OF THESE TALENTED AND CAPABLE 
 AND QUALIFIED WOMEN. 
 >> Adrienne: OKAY.
 SO BECAUSE OF THIS PANDEMIC, 
 CLEARLY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET
 THE KICK START OF THE 
 TRADITIONAL BIG, SPLASHY 
 CONVENTIONS AND THE BALLOONS 
 FALLING FROM THE SKY, ANY OF 
 THAT MOMENTUM, WHAT DO 
 AMERICANS -- WE'LL START WITH 
 YOU, DAVID.
 WHAT DO AMERICANS LOSE WITHOUT 
 A CONVENTION, BUT ALSO, WHAT IS
 GAINED?
 >> LOOK, THE REAL VALUE OF A 
 CONVENTION IS FIRST, IT 
 SHOWCASES A CANDIDATE IN AN 
 ENVIRONMENT UNDER THE 
 CANDIDATE'S CONTROL.
 IT ALLOWS THEM TO FORM AN 
 INTRODUCTION TO THE AMERICAN 
 PEOPLE, AND SECOND, IT'S A 
 POLITICAL PROCESS: WHO ARE WE, 
 AND WE CONNECT.
 PEOPLE SIT DOWN, THEY HAVE 
 DINNER, AND THEY MEET, AND THEY
 TALK, AND THE PARTY HAS SORT OF
 INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE 
 DIRECTION IT'S GOING TO GO.
 SO THAT DIRECTION AND THAT 
 SHOWCASING CAN'T HAPPEN.
 I THINK BIDEN IS BETTER OFF 
 BECAUSE OF IT BECAUSE THE 
 ABSENCE OF A CONVENTION MAKES 
 THIS ELECTION EVEN MORE THAN A 
 USUAL ELECTION, A REFERENDUM ON
 THE INCUMBENT.
 THIS ELECTION IS ALL ABOUT HOW 
 DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE CONDITION
 OF THE COUNTRY, AND THE MORE 
 BIDEN CAN KEEP IT FOCUSED ON 
 THAT QUESTION -- DONALD TRUMP 
 WILL INSIST ON KEEPING IT 
 FOCUSED ON THAT QUESTION, THE 
 WORSE FOR DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE 
 THE CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY IS
 SO VERY, VERY BAD.
 >> Adrienne: ERIN, DO YOU HAVE 
 AN OPINION ABOUT NOT HAVING 
 THESE CONVENTIONS?
 >> WELL, THE CONVENTION IS 
 USUALLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE 
 THE CANDIDATES ON A BIG STAGE.
 IT IS BASICALLY THE STARTING 
 GUN, YOU KNOW, FOR THE HOME 
 STRETCH UNTIL THE GENERAL 
 ELECTION, AND, REALLY, A CHANCE
 FOR THE PARTIES TO KIND OF 
 UNITE AROUND THAT TICKET.
 THE FACT THAT THESE CONVENTIONS
 AREN'T HAPPENING IS YET ANOTHER
 REMINDER OF THE SITUATION THAT 
 WE ARE IN.
 THESE CONVENTIONS ARE 
 ANOTHER -- THEY'RE CAMPAIGN 
 CASUALTY OF THE PANDEMIC, AND 
 THEY'LL BE A REMINDER FOR FOLKS
 THAT THIS IS ALREADY THE MOST 
 EXTRAORDINARY ELECTION YEAR 
 THAT WE'VE EVER BEEN IN. 
 >> Adrienne: LAST QUESTION TO 
 YOU, DAVID.
 YOU'RE IN CANADA RIGHT NOW.
 WHAT DO YOU THINK A JOE BIDEN 
 PRESIDENCY MIGHT MEAN FOR THIS 
 COUNTRY?
 >> WELL, I THINK MANY CANADIANS
 WILL BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF 
 BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING MORE 
 LIKE NORMAL.
 BUT BIDEN HAS EMBRACED PARTS OF
 THE TRUMP TRADE AGENDA, THAT HE
 HAS TALKED ABOUT RAISING 
 NATIONAL BORDERS AGAINST 
 MEDICAL TRADE.
 THE WORLD NEEDS MORE TRADE, NOT
 LESS.
 THIS PANDEMIC HAS RAISED 
 BARRIERS BETWEEN COUNTRIES, AND
 I WORRY THAT MANY OF THE VOICES
 AROUND JOE BIDEN WILL ENCOURAGE
 THEM TO CONTINUE THE 
 TREACHEROUS CONNECTION STARTED 
 UNDER DONALD TRUMP, AND THAT 
 WILL BE PROBLEMATIC FOR THE 
 UNITED STATES, FOR THE WORLD.
 OBVIOUSLY, THERE WILL BE A LOT 
 OF FAMILIAR FACES AROUND BIDEN,
 AND THE LANGUAGE WILL BE 
 SIMILAR, AND I THINK THE 
 WITHHOLD WORLD IS GOING TO -- 
 THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOING TO 
 GIVE THIS ADMINISTRATION IF IT 
 HAPPENS IS GOING TO GIVE THEM A
 HONEYMOON TO SAY THANK YOU FOR 
 IT BEING ALL OVER, AND FOR 
 BIDEN WILL SAY TO THE WORLD, WE
 WILL NEVER, EVER MIX TEQUILA 
 AND QUAALUDES EVER AGAIN. 
 >> Adrienne: ALL RIGHT.
 DAVID AND ERIN, THANK YOU VERY 
 MUCH. 
 >> THANK YOU. 
 >> BYE-BYE. 
 >> Adrienne: STILL ON "THE 
 NATIONAL," HE CAME INTO THE
 . 
 >> Adrienne: CLEANUP EFFORTS 
 CONTINUE IN THE UNITED STATES 
 AFTER TROPICAL STORM ISAIAS HIT
 THE UNITED STATES.
 HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HOMES 
 STILL DON'T HAVE POWER.
 >>> THIS YEAR'S ATLANTIC 
 HURRICANE SEASON HAS ALREADY 
 BEEN A RECORD BREAKER, WITH 
 NINE MAJOR TROPICAL STORMS, TWO
 OF THEM REACHING HURRICANE 
 STRENGTH, AND FORECASTERS SAY 
 IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE.
 >> Reporter: JAMIE DAVISON 
 KNOWS THE DAMAGE THAT 
 HURRICANES CAN CAUSE. 
 >> WE HAD TWO BIG TREE STRIKES 
 ON THE HOUSE, ONE IN MY 
 YOUNGEST BOY'S BEDROOM, AND 
 THEN ONE BOUNCED OFF THE HOUSE 
 AND TOOK OUT MY FRONT PORCH AND
 MY CAR.
 >> Reporter: HIS NEIGHBORHOOD 
 WAS HIT BY HURRICANE DORIAN 
 LAST YEAR, TOO, AND TODAY, THE 
 NOAA IN THE UNITED STATES 
 ANNOUNCED THIS SEASON COULD BE 
 EXTREMELY ACTIVE, SECOND ONLY 
 TO 2005, THE YEAR OF HURRICANE 
 KATRINA.
 THERE COULD BE UP TO 25 NAMED 
 STORMS, INCLUDING UP TO 11 
 NAMED HURRICANES. 
 >> A TYPICAL YEAR HAS 12 NAMED 
 STORMS, SO OUR SEASON COULD BE 
 DOUBLE THE ACTIVITY FOR A 
 NORMAL YEAR. 
 >> Reporter: IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT 
 ALL OF THIS COULD MEAN FOR 
 CANADA. 
 >> UNTIL THEY FORM, IT'S 
 IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHERE THEY'RE
 GOING TO GO.
 >> Reporter: THIS METEOROLOGIST
 WITH THE CANADIAN HURRICANE 
 CENTRE SAY ABOUT 75% OF STORMS 
 IN A TYPICAL HURRICANE SEASON 
 AFFECTS CANADA.
 >> PEOPLE ON THE COAST ARE 
 GOING TO BE LUCKY IF THEY 
 ESCAPE DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION 
 BASED ON THESE NUMBERS. 
 >> Reporter: HE'S COURAGING 
 CANADIANS TO BE PREPARED ---EN 
 COURAGI
  -- ENCOURAGING CANADIANS TO BE
 PREPARED FOR THIS YEAR.
 JAMIE IS PREPARING FOR THE 
 WORST AND HOPING FOR THE BEST 
 IN WHAT'S EXPECTED TO BE ONE OF
 THE WORST HURRICANE SEASONS ON 
 RECORD.
 >> Adrienne: AND LET'S CHECK IN
 WITH THE WEATHER NETWORK'S 
 JOANNA WAGSTAFFE FOR MORE.
 >> AS WE HEARD FROM KAYLA, WE 
 KNOW THAT SEA SURFACE 
 TEMPERATURES ARE GETTING 
 WARMER.
 AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS MAP, 
 THE ATLANTIC IS WELL ABOVE 
 SEASONAL TEMPERATURES RIGHT 
 NOW.
 WIND SHEAR IS ALSO INCREASING 
 WITH CLIMATE CHANGE, SO THEY 
 ARE SORTING CANCELLING -- SORT 
 OF CANCELLING EACH OTHER OUT.
 ANOTHER THING IS WIND SHEAR, 
 AND THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT.
 >> Adrienne: SO IS THIS WHAT WE
 CAN EXPECT TO SEE IN THE 
 HURRICANE SEASONS AHEAD?
 >> NOT NECESSARILY.
 WE KN
 IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN 
 WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE STORMS,
 BUT WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS AN 
 INCREASE IN INTENSITY, AND THAT
 IS SHOWING UP ALREADY IN A 
 DETECTIBLE WAY, SO IN THE 
 FUTURE, WE MAY NOT SEE MORE 
 STORMS, BUT WE MIGHT SEE MORE 
 CATEGORY THREE, CATEGORY FOUR, 
 AND CAT FIVE STORMS, ADRIENNE. 
 >> OH, GREAT.
 JOANNA, THANKS VERY MUCH.
 >>> WHEN WE COME BACK,
 HIEROWE SHEEM
 [BELL TOLLING]
 >> Adrienne: THOSE ARE THE 
 BELLS ON THE PEACE TOWER IN 
 OTTAWA RINGING OUT 75 TIMES, 
 MARKING 75 YEARS SINCE THE 
 UNITED STATES DROPPED THE FIRST
 ATOMIC BOMB OVER HIEROSHIMA, 
 JAPAN.
 >> AN EXPLOSION EQUAL TO 20,000
 TONNES OF T.N.T.
 >> Reporter: TANIKA WAS JUST 
 EIGHT YEARS OLD WHEN THE BOMB 
 HIT.
 SHE WAS HAVING BREAKFAST WITH 
 HER FAMILY.
 HER SISTER, ON THE RIGHT, HAD 
 JUST LEFT.
 SHE WOULD NEVER COME HOME 
 AGAIN.
 >> HIROSHIMA WAS A SCENE OF 
 UNPRECEDENTED CHAOS. 
 >> Reporter: TENS OF THOUSANDS 
 WERE KILLED INSTANTLY.
 THREE DAYS LATER, THE U.S. 
 DROPPED ANOTHER BOMB ON 
 NAGASAKI.
 EVERY YEAR WHEN THE ANNIVERSARY
 APPROACHES, I THINK OF THOSE 
 WHO WERE ASKING FOR HELP.
 I LEFT THEM BEHIND IN ORDER TO 
 RUN AND SAVE MYSELF.
 SURVIVORS LIKE OKATASAN ARE 
 KNOWN AS HIBUKSHA, OR 
 WITNESSES.
 AT THIS YEAR'S ANNIVERSARY 
 CEREMONY, THE PASSAGE OF TIME 
 AND THE CORONAVIRUS MEANS THERE
 ARE FEWER AND FEWER HIBUKSHA TO
 FIGHT FOR CHANGE.
 SO A NEW GENERATION IS STEPPING
 UP TO TAKE THEIR PLACE.
 HIRUKI YAMAGUCHI IS A TOUR 
 GUIDE.
 HER GRANDFATHER WAS HIBUKSHA.
 >> IF WE STOP TALKING ABOUT 
 THIS, SO IT'S REALLY NOBODY 
 TALKS IN THE FUTURE.
 >> Reporter: OKATASAN WELCOMES 
 THEIR EFFORTS, ESPECIALLY IN A 
 TIME WHEN WORLD SUPER POWERS 
 ARE TALKING ABOUT MORE NUCLEAR 
 WEAPONS, NOT LESS.
 I PLEAD WITH ALL ADULTS THAT 
 THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN, THAT 
 OTHER COUNTRIES NEVER HAVE TO 
 WITNESS THE HORROR OF A NUCLEAR
 ATTACK.
 STEVEN D'SOUZA, CBC NEWS, NEW 
 YORK.
 >> Adrienne: NEXT UP, AS BEIRUT
 WENT UP IN ONE WHO ARE 
 
 >> Adrienne: THERE'S SO MANY 
 PICTURES RIGHT NOW THAT TELL 
 THE STORY OF BEIRUT.
 THEY SHOW DESTRUCTION, BOTH 
 VAST AND PERSONAL.
 IT'S HEART WRENCHING GRIEF, AND
 THE KIND OF RESILIENCE YOU HAVE
 TO DIG DOWN DEEP TO FIND.
 AND THEN, THERE'S THIS PICTURE,
 OF A NEWBORN NAMED GEORGE.
 THIS ONE TELLS A STORY ALL ITS 
 OWN.
 THE EXPLOSION HAPPENS JUST AS 
 GEORGE'S MOTHER WAS SURROUNDED 
 BY NURSES, PREPARING TO GIVE 
 BIRTH.
 THE CHAOS THAT FOLLOWED, AND 
 THE JOY THAT CAME OUT OF IT IS 
 OUR "MOMENT" TONIGHT.
 THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A 
 LIFE CHANGING MOMENT.
 LIFE CHANGI
 LAST-MINUTE CHANGES TO BRING A 
 BABY INTO THE WORLD, DAD 
 CAPTURING IT ALL ON CAMERA.
 AND THEN, THE EXPLOSION. 
 >> WE JUST HEARD THE SOUND, AND
 EVERYTHING WAS SHATTERING.
 THE INSTRUMENTS, EVERYTHING.
 EVERYTHING WENT THROUGH MY 
 MIND.
 I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE.
 ALL THE CEILING WAS DOWN.
 I WAS AFRAID THAT SHE MIGHT BE 
 HIT OR THE BABY WAS HIT.
 SHE WAS ALL COVERED WITH GLASS.
 I TRIED GETTING MY WIFE OUT 
 FIRST.
 I MOVED THE BED OUTSIDE, AND 
 THEN, I STARTED HELPING THE 
 NURSES AND DOCTORS TO GET THEM 
 THROUGH THAT, GET THEM UP. 
 >> Adrienne: AND IN THAT CHAOS,
 BABY GEORGE WAS BORN.
 WITH FLASHLIGHTS FOR THE 
 MEDICAL STAFF AND NO MEDICATION
 FOR MOM, HE WAS DELIVERED SAFE 
 AND SOUND. 
 >> THERE'S JUST SOUND ASLEEP.
 EXCELLENT. 
 >> Adrienne: WELCOME TO THE 
 WORLD, BABY GEORGE.
 YOU HAVE INCREDIBLE PARENTS, 
 EDMUND AND EMANUELLE, AND 
 EDMUND POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, 
 ON BEHALF OF YOU, GEORGE, THANK
 YOU FOR BRINGING ME INTO THE 
 WORLD.
 I HOPE I CAN PAY YOU BACK 
 SOMEDAY.
 THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS
 THURSDAY, AUGUST 6.
 GOOD NIGHT.
