OFF A MILITARY STRIKE AGAINST 
IRAN AT THE LAST MINUTE.
SO, WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
>>> HOW A CHANGING CLIMATE IS 
STRAINING CANADA'S ARMED FORCES.

SEVERAL YEARS A STEADY INCREASE.
>> Andrew: AND THE PEOPLE TAKING
POLLUTERS TO COURT.

PATH.

CLIMATE CHANGE "IN OUR 
BACKYARD".
>>> AND SMART PHONES, TEENS AND

PHONES CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, IF 
YOU EVEN CALL IT A PROBLEM.
>> Andrew: WE'RE DEBUNKING THE 
LATEST VIRAL HEALTH HEADLINES.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Andrew: THE U.S. PRESIDENT 
SAID HIS MILITARY WAS COCKED AND
LOADED, READY TO LAUNCH A STRIKE
ON IRAN.
THAT STRIKE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 
FIRST DIRECT U.S. ASSAULT ON THE
COUNTRY IN YEARS.
RETALIATION FOR IRAN SHOOTING 
DOWN OF A U.S. DRONE.
BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
AS YOU HEAR FROM ELLEN MAURO, 
THE U.S. PRESIDENT NARRATED A 
DRAMA.
AND THAT DECISION AT THE LAST 
MOMENT TO HOLD BACK.
>> I SAID I WANT TO KNOW 
SOMETHING BEFORE YOU GO, HOW 
MANY PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED?
>> Reporter: THE ANSWER, 
APPROXIMATELY 150 IRANIANS.
TOO MANY, SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT.
I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS 
PROPORTIONATE.
>> Reporter: TRUMP SAID HE 
LEARNED THAT NUMBER WITH ONLY 
MINUTES TO SPARE.
SOME REPORTS SAY HE ACTUALLY 
KNEW EARLIER IN THE DAY AND 
INITIALLY APPROVED THE STRIKE.
NOT SO, SAID TRUMP.
>> NOTHING IS GREEN LIGHTED 
UNTIL THE END BECAUSE THINGS 
CHANGE.
>> NEVER GIVE A FINAL ORDER.
>> NO, NO, NO.

STRIKE WAS.

WAS APPLAUDED BY THE CAPITOL 
HILL RIVALS.

CRIPPLE IRAN'S ECONOMY.
BUT HAWKISH LAWMAKERS AND

TOWARD A CONFRONTATION WHICH IS 
VERY SERIOUS FOR EVERYBODY IN 
THE REGION.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE WANTS 
DIRECT TALKS WITH IRAN, BUT 
ENGAGEMENT APPEARS FAR OFF.
PROVOCATIVELY IRAN BROADCAST 
IMAGES OF THE DOWNED DRONE 
TODAY, ACCUSING THE U.S. OF 
VIOLATING ITS AIRSPACE.

CHANTS AT FRIDAY PRAYERS.

U.S. DECISION TO HIS TEAM WHO H

CAUSING THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC TO 
IMPLODE --

EXERTING PRESSURE ON THE REGIME.
>> SO IF YOU'RE SITTING IN 
TEHRAN, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE 
WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE 
PRESSURE.
>> Andrew: IRAN HAD AVOIDED 
CONFLICT, BUT ITS ECONOMY 
CRIPPLED AND CURRENCY 
COLLAPSING.
THEN TRUMP MOVED TO CUT IRAN OFF
FROM MARKETS COMPLETELY.
>> SET IRAN AND THE UNITED 
STATES ON A COLLISION COURSE.
TO THEM THE DEGREE OF ECONOMIC 
PRESSURE THEY'RE UNDER IS WAR.
SO THEY'RE TRYING TO RAISE THE 
RISK AND COSTS TO TRUMP AND 
FORCE HIM TO RECONSIDER.
IF HE GOES DOWN THIS PATH, HE 
BETTER BE PREPARED FOR A 
POTENTIALLY COSTLY CONFLICT 
WHICH HE MAY NOT WANT.
>> Andrew: AND TEHRAN COULD DIAL
THINGS UP FURTHER.
>> AND IRANIANS MAY ON A U.S. 
SHIP OR U.S. TARGET, THEY MAY 
DEPLOY SOME OF THE REGIONAL 
FORCES TO HIT U.S. INTERESTS OR 
U.S. PERSONNEL.
>> Andrew: WHICH MEANS TRUMP 
WILL BE FORCED TO CHOOSE.
PUSH THE ENVELOPE FURTHER OR SIT
DOWN AND TALK?
THE FATE OF THE REGION IS IN THE
BALANCE.
ONE OTHER NOTE.
U.S. AVIATION OFFICIALS WARN 
THAT THREATS IN THE REGION ARE 
ENOUGH TO DIVERT FLIGHTS.

CIVILIAN PLANES COULD BE 
MISIDENTIFIED AND THEY'RE 
RECOMMENDING AVOIDING THE STRAIT

Reporter: 
 Hundreds of small groups,
 families, friends, neighbours
 all gathered to watch
 the eclipse today
 using a variety
 of viewing devices:
 special glasses,
 welders lenses,
 cameras, and telescopes.
 Groups of amateur astronomers,
 many of them from
 the United States,
 were greatly relieved when
 they awoke this morning
 to find that the weather
 forecast had changed.
 Everyone had over an hour
 to watch the moon
 slowly move between the sun
 and the earth.
 Many schools, heeding the
 warnings of eye doctors,
 kept students in their
 classrooms
 to watch the show
 on television.
Who would rather
have been outside?
Students: Me!
Reporter: Many parents allowed
 their children to stay home
 so they could see
 the eclipse outside.
 For some, it was a lonely.
 For others, a family affair.
Is it covered up yet?
No, not almost.
It's almost finished.
Reporter: As the moon
 blocked more of the sun
 people began to look
 forward to totality
 when the moon completely
 blocks the sun.
 Winnipeg became quite dark,
 even before totality.
 The streetlights came on,
 and motorists turned on
 their headlights.
 And you see the way the moon
 is breaking up,
 there's a mountain on the moon
 which is taking a sliver of
 the sunlight off and now
 it's disappearing.
 That is, in effect,
 one of Baily's beads.
 Despite the warnings
 of experts,
 people who had no
 eye protection
 couldn't resist taking
 a peek now and then.
 And then totality, the people
 could look safely
 without eye protection.
[crowd gasping]
It's wonderful!
Man: Isn't that
 a magnificent corona.
 And the corona is, I think,
 as I said before,
 very globular in appearance
 but streamers coming out
 in all directions.
 I am absolutely enthralled.
 There's a beautiful beautiful
 red corona
 down about seven o'clock.
 There's another one...
 up about 10 o'clock.
 Magnificent.
[crowd gasping]
Woman: Completely dark.
What do you think
of that ma'am?
It is beautiful.
Really beautiful. Exciting.
Would you think of
the site, ma'am?
It's wonderful.
It's really exciting.
What do you
think, ma'am?
It's just incredible.
Just incredible.
Reporter: And after totality,
 the diamond ring effect.
[crowd reacting]
 Though many people
 stayed indoors
 because of the warnings
 of eye doctors,
 those who went outside
 seemed to agree
 it was the show of a lifetime.

Hi.

one of the world's
greatest entertainers
and there's no need to say
anything more about him.
Will you welcome Johnny Cash.
[applause]
[house band plays
"I Walk the Line" instrumental]
[applause fade]
I have a feeling they were
all there last night, John.
Sounds good.
Thanks, man.
There you are.
How are you?
Oh I'm just great.
I'm enjoying
myself in Toronto.
We really had a great
opening night, Elwood.
The audience was fantastic.
 I've been reading
 the papers this morning.
Good reviews.
Just fantastic.
You know, the press
in Toronto
has been wonderful
to us this time.
You know, they always
did us justice, you know.
When we were bad,
they said we were bad.
But this time they've
really been nice to us.
Why would you come to town,
spend four or five days
when you could've had the same
number of people for one night
at Maple Leaf Gardens and
been able to come in and leave
and go about
your business?
To spend a week here I think is
quite an exception for you.
It really is, but
we've been doing it
that way lately, Elwood.
We've -- you know,
for several years
when we had our network TV show
we played places like
Maple Leaf Garden and
Madison Square Garden.
Some of the bigger places
because the audience was --
were there, you know.
And I guess they still are,
but we lost that intimacy,
that person to person
relationship
in those bigger buildings,
and I like to work places like
O'Keefe Centre where I can
feel the audience, you know.
There's another element
to performing besides
hearing and seeing,
it's feeling.
Communication, you know, and you
can communicate with everybody
in the whole room
at O'Keefe Centre.
It's a fantastic concert hall.
How many people in your whole
organization on stage?
I think there's 12 or 13 of us
on stage, mostly family.
Pretty much a family
affair, isn't it?
Yeah, it really is.
There's June and my
sister-in-law Anita Carter,
and our daughters Rosanne Cash
and Rosie Nix,
Carl Perkins and
Gordon Terry, a fiddler,
and Jerry Hensley, a new singer,
plus the five musicians.
 You know I can remember
 when Carl Perkins
was a big Nashville
record star
back in the 50s, you know,
he was a really big star.
You were coming
along and
how did you happen to
become friends because
he is not only
a staunch supporter
but he's part of your show
and has been for years.
Well we met at Sun Records
in 1955, Elwood.
He was -- he had just
recorded a record
and I was going in
for my first session
and he came in that day and
that's when we met in '55.
And that was quite
a meeting actually,
that day at Sun Records
in Memphis.
In the studio that day was
Carl Perkins, myself,
Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis,
and Roy Orbison.
Where were
the big names?
I don't know, they couldn't
get anybody else...
[laughter]
But that was
really a great day,
and that day he turned on
a recorder, you know,
and we recorded a lot of
old songs together,
we sang together.
I don't know whatever happened
that tape but I'm gonna --
I'm gonna try to get
my hands on a copy.
 Wouldn't that be
 a collector's item to have?
I'm going to ask a question
to Johnny Cash
that if I were to ask every
individual in this room
you would all have
a different answer.
And I can also say that this
room has never been so packed.
Wouldn't you say this is
a record crowd, Sonny?
Have you ever seen
the bar so full?
[laughter]
That's another question.
We won't bring
that up right now.
Johnny?
Yes.
What do you think is the Johnny
Cash appeal to the public,
which is so
strong right now?
 What do you do?
Well, Elwood, I really --
you know,
I really can't
answer that question.
I just -- I do know
what I do, though,

KNOWING WHERE ♪ ♪OME FROM.
 One of the things
 that I really enjoy about
 walking into these
 mall outlets is
 all of the light, all the
 flashy advertisement,
 these signs and everything.
 But when I walk through
 these stores,
 it's not very often
 that I just go in,
 I'm like, hey, I'm just
 going to look for a shirt.
 It's not as fun as it used to
 be when you started to
 look at the psychology
 of consumerism.
♪ ♪
 My name is Ursula Johnson and
 I'm an interdisciplinary artist
 based out of Dartmouth,
 Nova Scotia.
 With this work for
 the Winnipeg Art Gallery,
 I really wanted to focus on
the idea of the conversations
that have happened
already initiated by Indigenous
female performance artists.
Shelley Niro, Rebecca Belmore,
Lori Blondeau, and Cheryl
Larondelle, for instance.
 And I thought what if we play
 with that idea of fashion
 photography with regards to
 consuming the female body?
 There has always been this
 notion of the exoticized
 Indigenous female body.
When Disney came out
with Pocahontas
she was this beautiful, glossy,
young Indigenous woman.
 She can sing, she's beautiful,
she speaks with the trees,
so it was like this
notion of stereotype
perpetuation.
But if you looked at the actual
structure of her body
 in that animation,
it was very kind of like
this Barbie doll-like body
where it was like
nobody really looks like that.
 I commissioned a local
 photographer in Halifax
by the name of Steve Farmer
and I went shopping.
 And they would ask me, "Can I
 help you with something?",
 I'd say, "Actually you can.
 I'm wondering if you have
 anything Indian in your store".
 Something appropriated from
 Native American culture.
 Maybe something with beads,
 feathers, and fringes.
And then I held
a little fashion shoot.
 And then I took text that I had
 requested from those for
 Indigenous female
 performance artists.
 I asked them to write
 a response to kind of
 the topic of
the commodified Indigenous
female body.
And so, some of the quotes that
they gave me were maybe memories
 they had from conversations
 with people,
 or some of them were their own
 words of trying to break down
 those notions of those
 stereotypes.
So I was looking at the notion
of that space between the text
 of these words of these
 Indigenous female artists
and then my body, and so that
was where the title between my
body in their words
came for this
commission for the
Winnipeg Art Gallery.
Looking at those ideas of
consuming this female body,
especially at this time
when we are
experiencing a national crisis
with regards to Indigenous women
who are missing and murdered
all across this country
and other countries all over
the world as well.
 There is not any real
 super engaging critical
 conversations.
 Nobody thinks about
 that because it's
 the Indigenous body
 who has been kind of pushed
 aside and brushed under the rug
as, you know, the role of the,
well, you're supposed to be here
 and not be seen or not
 be heard type of thing
unless we want to
sexualize your body.
Then we'll put you
at the forefront.

One thing I've always
wanted to know,
do you scare yourself when
you're writing these books?
Once in a while.
Not very often.
A lot of times what you feel
surfacing on your face
is the sort of grin that
I'm wearing right now
 because you know it's
 tight and right
and that it's working and,
for instance, I'm on tour
to promote this movie
 Maximum Overdrive and when
we did dailies
and something came off
that might be
really grotesque and in some
cases turned out to be much too
grotesque to actually
be in the film,
you'd hear people
laughing hilariously
and they would applaud
and stuff like that
because your first
emotion in both
humour and horror is a sort of
childish delight.
It's a very low emotion,
but once in a while --
there was a bathtub scene
in The Shining
where I scared myself,
and in Pet Sematary,
for long periods of time I just
felt very very wired
and very uncomfortable with
what I was writing about.
You once described people's love
of horror as that feeling of
being afraid to put their
fingers in the toaster.
Somehow a secret fascination
with the person who got
ground up in an
industrial blender,
that type of thing,
and the penchant to stop
and look at accidents.
But in your own personal life
are there things that you are
actually afraid of,
 because you certainly make
 people afraid of their dogs,
 their cars, their trucks,
 their cats.
Well, I'm afraid of
trucks and cars.
I mean, Maximum Overdrive 
is about trucks.
 Christine was about a car
that drives by itself,
because as a child
they seemed so large and
I seemed so small and
I had the same imagination then
that I do now, except for a kid
everything is harder to control.
That's why they fall down and
have scabby knees all the time.
 And I would imagine them
 starting up
even if they were stopped and
I'd kind of scuttle behind them
because they look so big
and bind and bulldozers,
the treads looked so cruel
and I would imagine what would
happen to my little fingers
if they started to move
while my fing --
not that I would have ever
gotten my fingers near them.
But even today, if I put an
English muffin in the toaster
and it only comes
about half way up,
I pick up a fork and I start
toward that toaster
and I can hear that toaster
saying, "Go ahead, punk.
Make my day".
But when you -- I'm just
imagining this.
I just imagine being in your
mind all the time.
It must never stop.
That's why you must write.
 What an awful squirming
 can of worms.
It's really not
like that at all.
 You're probably healthier
 than most people --
Except for the blackouts.
 -- and the full moon --
Yeah, that's the best
part of it.
Is that somebody who's got
problems and fears and phobias,
they go to a psychiatrist
and it cost them maybe
$150 an hour
and they don't even get a full
hour, they get 50 minutes.
I do it and people pay me.
[she laughs]
It's great.
Well, you've made a ton of
money too. Not to say --
Gross amounts of it.
 -- best time of your life.
You made about $25 million
on these books.
It's not that much yet, but I
guess it could get there.
Gross huge amounts
of money, yeah.
I guess it's real.
I get statements and
I have a business manager and
all that, but its paper.
You know, he says,
"We're going into gold"
and I say,
"Good, send me some".
"What, I can't do that".
I said sure you can, send me
some gold. It's legal now.
So he finally sent me a piece of
gold and it was very boring.
It's just a thing.
 It doesn't do anything unless
 it comes alive and eats you.
It doesn't sing or dance.
No, it's true.
But you don't have any
desires to become
on a grandiose scale to have a
Stephen King park of horrors
or anything like this.
 You don't want to elaborate
 further than the movies
 and the written word,
 do you?
No, I don't even think I want
to make another movie.
It's a primitive way to create.
I mean, it's interesting
for that reason
because you have to overcome
so many odds.
You know what I'd really
like to have?
 What?
A pair of lizard skin boots.
 Live lizards?
No, they could crawl
a little bit at night
and something like that.
Just move over carefully to
the other side of the room.
Just keep you on the edge.
But actually this whole image
is just totally overblown.
I have the heart of a small boy.
I keep it in a jar on my desk.
