>>> ON THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT, CBC
NEWS IS ON THE GROUND IN SYRIA
IN ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING
STRONG HOLDS.
WE HAVE THE STORY WHERE BOMBED
OUT NEIGHBOURHOODS TELL THE
STORY OF 7 YEARS OF WAR.
>>> WE REACH A WOMAN IN A POCKET
OF RESISTANCE FIGHT WILLING -- FIGHTING
AGAINST THE ODDS.
>>> THE VIDEO OF A RACIST
ENCOUNTER IN PUBLIC HAS SWIFT
REPERE-- REPERCUSSIONS.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>>> SYRIA IS NOW A FRAGMENTED,
BLOOD SOAKED VERSION OF ITSELF.
MORE THAN 7 YEARS OF CIVIL WAR
HAS SEEN TO THAT.
THIS IS A STORY THAT HAS GRIPPED
CANADIANS AND INSPIRED MANY TO
ACTION.
TONIGHT, OUR MARGARET EVANS HAS
RARE ACCESS TO THE FRONT LINES
ACCOMPANIED BY SYRIAN OFFICIALS.
WE ARE INSIDE YARMOUK ONCE HOME
TO TENS OF THOUSANDS.
NOW IT'S CRUMBLING BUILDINGS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST POCKETS
OF ISIS FIGHTERS NEAR THE
CAPITAL.
FORCES HAVE THEM SURROUNDED,
TRAPPED IN AN EVERY SHRINKING
AREA UNDER A NEAR CONSTANT
SIEGE.
>> Reporter: IT STILL TAKES YOU
BY SURPRISE.
EVEN IF THE PITTED LANDSCAPE
THAT IS YARMOUK.
THE ARRIVAL OF A TANK ON THE
EDGE OF THE BATTLEFIELD, A GROUP
OF SOLDIERS PULLING OUT AN
INJURED COMRADE.
THESE ARE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT
SOLDIERS FIGHTING ASSAD'S BATTLE
AGAINST THE LAST REMAINING
ENCLAVE IN DAM AS CASS.
-- THE
HOME WAS HOME TO 160,000 PEOPLE.
NOW IT'S A NEST OF FIGHTERS, THE
OCCASIONAL DOG LOOKING AT
SCARRED AS HIS SURROUNDINGS.
SOME OF THE SYRIAN SOLDIERS ARE
TAKING US TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE
FRONT LINE.
THEY MOVE IN TUNNELS BLASTED OUT
WALLS AND HIDDEN BEHIND BLINDS
TO AVOID SNIPERS.
WHEN YOU SEE IT, IT FEELS AS
CLOSE A -- A YOUNG SOLDIER TELLS
US HE'S NOT WORRIED ABOUT
REPORTS: NO.
NO.
NO.
HE SAYS, WE'RE READY FOR
ANYTHING.
HE'S 25 YEARS OLDS, AND HE'S
BEEN IN THE ARMY FOR 7 YEARS.
THE FLAGS THAT FLY HERE ARE
PALESTINIAN.
THEY ARE SPLIT IN ANTI SYRIAN
CAMPS WHEN THE WAR STARTED.
ISIS APPEARED ON THE SCENE IN
2014, GIVING ITSELF A BASE JUST
8 KILOMETRES FROM THE CITY
CENTRE AND STILL MAKING USE OF
IT TODAY, FIRING MISSILES
DOWNTOWN AND KILLING FOUR
PEOPLE.
HE WAS IN THE SAME FORWARD UNIT
AS THE SYRIAN SOLDIER CARRIED
AWAY IN AN AMBULANCE.
HE TELLS US HIS FRIEND WAS SHOT
BY A SNIPER AS THEIR UNIT TRIED
TO FORCE THEIR WAY INTO A
BUILDING OCCUPIED BY ISIS
FIGHTERS.
DESPITE THE HOWL OF WARPLANES
OVERHEAD, THE BATTLE HERE IS ON
THE GROUND, BUILDING BY
BUILDING.
THE PATTERN HAS BEEN TO USE
TACTICS TO FORCE REBEL ENCLAVES
TO SURRENDER.
NONE OF THESE SOLDIERS EXPECT
ISIS TO DO THAT.
IF ASSAD'S FORCES DO REMOVE THEM
AS EXPECTED, THE SYRIAN
PRESIDENT WILL HAVE ESTABLISHED
FULL CONTROL OVER DAMASCUS AND
THE SUBURBS SINCE THE WAR BEGAN.
CBC NEWS.
>>> THE WAR HAS LEFT THE COUNTRY
FRACTURED.
IT HASN'T BEEN UNIFIED FOR A
LONG TIME.
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.
FROM ABOVE, YOU CAN SEE WHO IS
IN CONTROL AND WHERE.
RIGHT HERE, THAT'S THE LAST
MAJOR ISIS STRONG HOLD.
THAT'S A WHISPER WHERE IT ONCE
ROARED.
THE KURDISH FORCES HOLD THE
NORTH, BUT THE LARGEST AREA IS
HELD BY THE SYRIAN ARMY AND THE
FORCES LOYAL TO ASSAD.
THIS IS THE LAST MAJOR POCKET OF
REBELLION.
THAT IS WHERE WE CONNECTED WITH
A TEACH WHOLE TELLS US WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO TRY TO KEEP THE FIGHT
ALIVE.

[Speaking Foreign
Language]
>> SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ASKED
QUESTIONS.
SHE USED TO BE VOLUNTEER
TEACHING CHILDREN, BUT NOW HER
STUDENTS ARE SYRIA'S WOMEN WHO
ARE WAITING FOR EMPOWERED.
BUT GIVEN THIS, AND A FEAR OF
BEING PERSECUTED FOR SPEAKING
OUT, YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHY
SOMEONE CHOOSES TO DO WHAT SHE
DOES.
[Speaking Foreign
Language]
>> SHE FAILS YOU SAFE NUCLEIC TO
TALK FREELY.
WHEN SOMEONE TOO AFRAID TO
REALLY SPEAK THEIR MINDS, SHE
SAYS YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR
ANSWERS IN MORE THAN JUST THEIR
WORDS.
[Speaking Foreign
Language]
>> EARLIER THIS EVENING, ISRAEL
FIRED MISSILES TARGETING
MILITARY SITES.
IT WAS IN RETALIATION FOR 20
ROCKETS FIRED INTO ITS TERRITORY
BY IRANIAN FORCES BASED IN
SYRIA.
HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT ELSE WE'RE
WORKING ON TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL."
>>> AN ANGRY ENCOUNTER AT AN
ALBERTA RESTAURANT CAUGHT ON
TAPE.
IT SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE ONLINE.
NOW THE WOMAN IS SPEAKING OUT.
>>> RESIDENTS ON HAWAII'S BIG
ISLAND FACE A NEW THREAT.
>>> FIRST, A VICTORY REAL AND
POWERFULLY SYMBOLIC FOR DONALD
TRUMP AS THREE AMERICAN
PRISONERS ARE FREED FROM NORTH
KOREA AND BACK ON AMERICAN SOIL.
TONIGHT, THE FREE ARE CREDITING
TRUMP HIMSELF AND HIS
ADMINISTRATION.
IT PAVEED THE WAY FOR THAT
PLANNED MEETING FOR THE
PRESIDENT AND NORTH KOREA'S
LEADER.
>> DO YOU DESERVE THE NOBEL
PRIZE.
>> Reporter: DOES HE DESERVE A
NOBEL PRIZE.
>> EVERYONE THINKS SO, BUT I
WOULD NEVER SAY.
I WANT TO GET IT FINISHED.
THE PRIZE I WANT IS VICTORY FOR
THE WORLD.
>> Reporter: TRUMP'S TALK OF
FIRE AND FURY ON NORTH KOREA AS
BILLION AS OTHER WILD MESSAGES
DELIVERED IN A TWEET IS BEING
GIVEN SOME CREDIT FOR KIM
JONG-UN'S MOMENT.
HE'S BEEN SHOWING SOFTER SIDE
ABOUT DENUCLEARIZATION.
HE ALSO SUSPENDED NUCLEAR TESTS,
SHUTED DOWN A TEST SIGHT, AND
THRUST HIMSELF INTO MEETINGS
WITH PRESIDENT MOON IN HOPES OF
ENDING THE CONFLICT BETWEEN
THEIR TWO COUNTRIES.
>> I APPRECIATE KIM JONG-UN
DOING THIS AND ALLOWING THEM TO
GO.
>> Reporter: TRUMP SUGGESTED
IT'S ALL A SIGN OF BIG THINGS TO
COME FROM HIS MEETING WITH KIM
IN A FEW WEEKS WHEN THEY TALK
ABOUT NORTH KOREA GIVING UP
NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
SOME ARE SKEPTICAL THAT THINGS
ARE GOING TO TURN OUT WELL.
>> IT'S DIFFICULT FOR NORTH
KOREA TO GIVE UP -- THEY MAY
AGREE TO IT -- GIVE UP NUCLEAR
WEAPONS ANY TIME SOON.
THEY PUT SO MUCH BLOOD, SWEAT,
AND TEARS INTO DEVELOPING THIS.
IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HARD FOR
THEM GIVEN ALL THE MISTRUST.
>> IT'S LIKELY FRONT AND CENTRE
GIVEN TRUMP IS PULLING OUT OF
THE DEAL THE U.S. NEGOTIATED
WITH IRAN OVER THE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS PROGRAMME.
HE KEEPS HIS WORD ON CAMPAIGN
PROGRAMSES, BUT THEY CAN'T
ACCOUNT ON PROMISES.
>> HOW CAN THEY TRUST HIM GIVEN
HE HIMSELF AS SOME POINT AS HE'S
SHOWN DOMESTICALLY THAT HE'S
GOING TO PUL PULL OUT OF AGREEMENTS.
>> THINGS HAVE CHANGED AND IN
WAYS NOT FORESEEN.
HE'LL ANNOUNCE WHERE THE MEETING
WILL TAKE PLACE AND ALREADY
REPORTS TONIGHT THAT IT WILL
HAPPEN IN SINGAPORE.
>> RIGHT.
AND KEITH, YOU MENTIONED THAT
ONE REASON THE MEETING IS
HAPPENING AT ALL MIGHT BE THAT
TRUMP'S THREATS HAVE BROUGHT KIM
TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE.
WHAT OTHER REASONS MIGHT THERE
BE.
>> IT MIGHT BE THAT NORTH
KOREA'S NUCLEAR PROGRAMME IS FAR
MORE ADVANCED THAN IT HAS EVER
BEEN.
IT APPEARS TO BE A GENUINE
NUCLEAR POWER.
IT'S THE WEAPONS THAT BROUGHT
TRUMP TO THE TABLE, NOT HIS
THREATS THAT BROUGHT KIM TO THE
TABLE.
>> DOESN'T THIS STRENGTH MAKE IT
LESS LIKELY KIM WILL WANT TO
GIVE UP HIS NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
>> IT BRINGS US BACK TO THE
QUESTION WHETHER KIM CAN TRUST
THE U.S. AND IT TOOK A DEAL
AGREED TO IRAN AND THE MOST
POWERFUL NATIONS AND BLOWN THE
WHOLE THING UP.
>> THANKS VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>>> NOW, KEITH MENTIONED THAT
THE ISLAND NATION OF SINGAPORE
IS THE LIKELY LOCATION FOR TRUMP
AND KIM TO MEET.
AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY
SINGAPORE, WE HAVE THE SAME
QUESTION, BUT THERE MAY BE GOOD
REASONS TO MEET THERE.
SINGAPORE STANDS OUT BECAUSE
IT'S A NEUTRAL LOCATION.
IT'S WELL-KNOWN FOR ITS SECURITY
AND HIGH DEGREE OF PUBLIC ORDER
AND THE CITY STATE ALSO HAS A
STRONG TRACK RECORD OF HOSTING
HIGH LEVEL TALKS, FOR EXAMPLE,
THE HISTORIC 2015 MEETING
BETWEEN TAIWAN AND CHINA
FOLLOWING A 66 YEAR STAND-OFF.
PLUS, IT'S HELPFUL THAT BOTH THE
U.S. AND NORTH KOREA HAVE
DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS IN
SINGAPORE.
>>> ZOOM WILLING OUT -- ZOOMING
OUT A BIT, IT SEEMS IT'S
WHIPPING UP ANXIETY AROUND THE
WORLD.
THERE WAS A DISPLAY OF FIRE AND
FURY INSIDE THE IRANIAN
PARLIAMENT AS LAWMAKERS BURNED A
PAPER AMERICAN FLAG AND SHOUTED
DEATH TO AMERICA.
[Speaking Foreign
Language]
>> THE LEADER ALSO DIDN'T MINCE
HIS WORDS SAYING HE HOPED
TRUMP'S BODY WOULD BECOME FOOD
FOR SNAKES AND ANTS.
IN WASHINGTON, HE WAS DEFIANT
WARNING THEM AGAINST LAUNCHING
THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAMME.
>> President Donald Trump: IF
THEY DO, THERE WILL BE SEVERE
CONSEQUENCES.
>> OTHER SIGNATORIES TO THE
ACCORD SAYING THEY AREN'T GIVING
UP ON THE DEAL YET.
>> I URGE THE U.S. TO MAKE THE
AGREEMENT WORK IN THE INTEREST
OF OUR COLLECTIVE NATIONAL
SECURITY.
>>> BRITISH FOREIGN MINISTER
WILL MEET NEXT MONDAY FOR TALKS
TO SALVAGE THE DEAL.
BUT THE DECISION TO EXIT THE
IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL COULD HAVE AN
IMPACT AROUND THE WORLD.
BUSINESS DEALS ARE AT RISK AS
THE U.S. THREATENS TO REIMPOSE
SANCTIONS IN IRAN AND ANYONE
DOING BUSINESS WITH IT.
JACQUELINE HANSEN HAS MORE.
>> Reporter: AMONG THE FIRST
MAJOR DEALS FOR IRAN AFTER
INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS.
THAT DOOR IS CLOSING AGAIN.
>> THEY GO IN PLACE.
WE'RE GOING IT CUT OFF THE
MONEY.
>> Reporter: THEY SAY LICENCES
FOR AIRBUS AND U.S. BASED BOEING
TO SELL PLANES IN IRAN WILL BE
REVOKED.
THEY PLANNED TO TELL PLANES TO
IRAN.
IF THE COMPANY LOSES THE DEAL,
THE U.S. AEROSPACE INDUSTRY WILL
LOSE OUT.
>> THEY ARE SHOOTING ITSELF IN
THE FOOT.
THEY ARE CLAIMED THAT IT'S
PLATFORM IS TO CREATE JOBS AND
GROW THE ECONOMY.
THIS IS A $100,000 PLUS JOB THAT
WILL BE LOST.
>> Reporter: FOR COMPANIES THAT
TOOK A CHANCE ON IRAN, THE FEAR
OF U.S. PENALTIES AND BEING SHUT
OUT OF THE U.S. MARKET IS
CREATING UNCERTAINTY.
>> IT'S NOT A FAIR LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD THAT THE U.S. -- WE AS
EUROPEANS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO
MAKE BUSINESS WITH IRANIAN
COMPANIES.
>> Reporter: BOMBARDIER COULD
LOSE AS WELL.
IT HAD BEEN IN TALKS WITH IRAN.
THE IMPACT ON CANADA WILL LIKELY
BE SMALL.
THE SANCTIONS MAY HELP THE OIL
SECTOR IF IRAN'S OIL EXPERTS ARE
LIMITED AND PRICES KEEP RISING.
>> THAT MAY HELP CANADIAN
COMPANIES AND THE STRUGGLING
OILSANDS MARKET.
>> Reporter: CHINA, THE BIGGEST
BUYER OF IRAN'S CRUDE OPPOSES
THE U.S. MOVE AND SEEMS UNLIKELY
TO CUT OFF IRAN.
SOME LEADERS ARE EXPECTED TO
SEEK EXCLUSIONS.
IT WOULD PUT GLOBAL COOPERATION
AT RISK SENDING A MESSAGE TO A
COUNTRIES INCLUDING SOME OF
WASHINGTON'S CLOSEST ALLIES THAT
AMERICA'S PRIORITIES COME FIRST.
JACQUELINE HANSEN, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>>> THE PRICE OF OIL SURGED TO A
3 AND A HALF YEAR HIGH IN THE
WAKE OF WASHINGTON'S NEW STANCE
ON A RAN.
IT'S UP 3%.
THERE ARE FEARS PRICES COULD
SPIKE AS THE SANCTIONS BEGIN TO
SPIKE.
IT WILL WORK WITH PRODUCERS TO
LESSEN THE IMPACT OF SHORTFALL
IN SUPPLIES.
>>> STILL AHEAD, DAY ONE ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRIAL IN ONTARIO, WHY
THIS RACE COULD BE A PREVIEW OF
WHAT'S TO COME WHEN THE REST OF
CANADA GOES TO THE POLLS.
>>> ANOTHER STORY OF A YOUNG
CANADIAN MAKING A PROFOUND
CHANGE IN HER LIFE.
WHY FATIMA CHOSE TO WEAR THE

WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED
AFTER THE VIDEO WENT VIRAL.
>>> I'M CANADIAN, SO I'M RACIST.
>> ARE YOU GOING TO CALL THE
COPS.
>> YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO WHERE
YOU CAME FROM.
>> THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW PEOPLE
BEFORE YOU JUDGE THEM.
>>> TONIGHT ON "THE NATIONAL,"
ANOTHER TEST OF CANADA'S NEW
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM THAT
COULD HAVE GONE SMOOTHER.
AFTER MONDAY'S PROBLEMATIC TEST,
THE SYSTEM WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND
MESSAGE TODAY IN OTHER PROVINCES
AND TERRITORIES AND WHILE IT DID
REACH LOTS OF PEOPLE TODAY,
THERE ARE CERTAINLY REPORTS IT
DIDN'T REACH EVERYBODY IN
WESTERN CANADA THE WAY IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO.
OFFICIALS HAVE SAID THEY'RE
WORKING OUT THE GLITCHES.
>>> THERE'S STILL A LOT OF
QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED AND
OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF WORK TO BE
DONE.
>> A LONG ROAD AHEAD FOR THE
PEOPLE OF NEW BRUNSWICK AFTER
DAYS OF UNPRECEDENTED FLOODING,
RESIDENTS ARE NOW SLOWLY
RETURNING HOME CLEARLY DEALING
WITH THE AFTERMATH WON'T BE
SIMPLE.
OFFICIALS WARNED AGAIN TODAY
THAT ANYTHING THAT TOUCHED THOSE
FLOOD WATERS MAY NOT

IN THE CLEAN-UP NEEDS TO WEAR
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
>>> A 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS FACING
AN ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE AFTER
A POLICE OFFICER WAS STABBED.
POLICE SAY IS IT HAPPENED
YESTERDAY AS THE OFFICER
RESPONDED TO A STOLEN TRUCK.
THEY STOLE THE TRUCK AND WENT ON
A JOYRIDE.
ACCORDING TO POLICE, IT'S WHEN
THE OFFICER CONFRONTED HER HE
WAS STABBED.
HE'S DOING AXE.
BOTH TEENS ARE FACING CHARGES.
>>> WELL, JUDGMENT HAS COME
SWIFTLY AND HARSHLY AFTER A
VIDEO WENT VIRAL TODAY.
IT SHOWS A WOMAN IN A HEATED
ARGUMENT WITH THE TABLE OF MEN
FROM AFGHANISTAN.
IT SPIRALED OUT OF CONTROL WITH
LANGUAGE YOU MIGHT NOT
APPRECIATE AT THE DINNER TABLE.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE DEALING
WITH A CANADIAN WOMAN RIGHT NOW.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO CALL THE
COPS.
>> YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO WHERE
YOU CAME FROM.
>> THE DECIDE OCCURRED MORE THAN
TWO WEEKS AGO BUT WAS POSTED
ONLINE LAST NIGHT.
IT'S SEEN OVER 100,000 TIMES AND
COUNTING WITH SEVERE
CONSEQUENCES FOR THAT WOMAN
INCLUDING GETTING FIRED FROM HER
JOB.
ERIN COLLINS HAS THE STORY.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
EXCUSE ME?
EXCUSE ME?
EXCUSE ME?
I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE.
I AM CANADIAN.
>> YOU RELAX.
>> Reporter: THE VIDEO SHOT ON
APRIL 21st IN A DENNY'S
PROVIDES A GLIMPSE OF WHAT SOME
MAY EXPERIENCE IN CANADA.
>> YOU GUYS NEED TO GO BACK TO
WHERE YOU GAME FROM.
>> WE'RE GOING TO CALL THE COPS.
>> Reporter: A WOMAN LEANS OVER
A BOOTH WITH A STRING OF RACIST
SLURS.
ONE OF THEM FILMED IT ON HIS
PHONE.
>> HOW DO YOU NOT LOSE YOUR
TEMPER.
>> BEING PATIENT.
PATIENT IS THE KEY.
>> Reporter: IT SOUNDS CANADIAN
TO ME.
>> YES, TRUE.
>> Reporter: A CANADIAN CITIZEN
WHO MOVED HERE AS A TEENAGER
SAYS IT WAS UNPROVOKED AND
UNCANADIAN.
>> WE'RE ALL IMMIGRANTS HERE.
I MEAN, THIS CANADA HAS BEEN,
YOU KNOW, SUPPORTIVE OF
IMMIGRANTS FROM ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
>> Reporter: THE FIVE MINUTE
LONG VIDEO ENDS WITH MORE
TAUNTS.
>> SPEAK ENGLISH IF YOU'RE GOING
TO SPEAK.
>> Reporter: THE EVENING ENDED
WHEN POLICE WERE CALLED AND THEY
WERE ASKED TO LEAVE THE
RESTAURANT.
THE WOMAN TOLD NEWS NOW THAT SHE
HAD BEEN DRINKING AND WAS HAVING
AN OFF DAY.
>> YES, I MADE SOME COMMENTS,
SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SAID.
I EVEN WENT BACK TO APOLOGIZED
TO THE MANAGER, TO THE SERVER.
I TOLD THE MANAGER IF I COULD
APOLOGIZE TO THE MEN THAT WERE
THERE, I WOULD.
FOR MY ACTIONS BECAUSE I MEAN,
THAT'S NOT WHO I AM.
>> Reporter: SHE ALSO RELEASED A
FORMAL STATEMENT SAYING SHE
REGRETS HER COMMENTS BUT INSISTS
THERE'S MORE TO THE STORY.
SHE WAS FIRED BY THE CAR
DEALERSHIP WHERE SHE WORKS
BECAUSE OF THE VIDEO.
BACK IN LETHBRIDGE, WORD STRAD
QUICKLY.
THE MAYOR'S PHONE STARTED TO VIE
BRATE AT 4:00 A.M.
>> IT'S HORRIFIC TO SEE THAT AND
I COULD TELL THAT WAS GOING TO
BE A STORY -- WHEN WHEN I LOOKED AT
IT, IT HAD 700 SHARES.
>> Reporter: THEY'RE NOW LOOKING
INTO THE VIDEO BUT STRESS NO
CHARGES WERE LAID AT THE TIME OF
THE INCIDENT.
ERIN COLLINS, CBC NEWS,
LETHBRIDGE.
>>> NOW, AS YOU HEARD A MOMENT
AGO, KELLY POCHA SAYS SHE'S
SORRY BUT WHILE SHE DOES ADMIT
HER COMMENTS WERE RACIST, SHE
SAYS THE MEN DIRECTED RACIST
COMMENTS AT HER.
HERE'S MORE OF HER COMMENTS FROM
EARLIER TODAY.
>> I'M A HARDWORKING MOTHER OF
THREE.
THAT'S JUST NOT WHO I AM.
IT WAS JUST A AN OFF DAY.
LIKE I SAID, THINGS WERE SAID TO
ME.
I GOT HEATED AND MADE
ARRANGEMENTS.
I CAN'T TAKE THEM BACK.
PEOPLE GET INTO ARGUMENTS EVERY
DAY.
PEOPLE SAY THINGS EVERY DAY.
IT DOESN'T GET SPLATTERED ON
FACEBOOK AND GO NATIONWIDE.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T AGREE WITH THE WHOLE
THING.
I THINK IT'S JUST GOTTEN OUT OF
PROPORTION ESPECIALLY WHEN
YOU'RE ONLY SEEING ONE SIDE OF
THE STORY AND NOT SEEING THE
WHOLE THING.
IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD ON ME.
>> ALBERTA'S POLITICAL LEADERS
WEIGHED IN TODAY.
HERE'S WHAT RACHEL NOTLEY
TWEETED.
THEY HAVE NO PLACE IN ALBERTA.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME IN ALBERTA
AND UNITED CONSERVATIVE PARTY
JASON KENNEY SAYS THEY ARE
APPALLING.
ALBERTA IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A
WELCOMING HOME FOR HARDWORKING
NEWCOMERS FROM EVERY CORNER OF
THE WORLD.
>>> OKAY.
STILL TO COME TONIGHT ON "THE
NATIONAL," A COMPANY THAT'S
TRYING TO PROVE EVEN GARBAGE CAN
BE RECYCLED, BUT IS IT WORKING
THE COST.
>>> MEET A WOMAN WHO'S CHOICE TO
WEAR A NIQAB IS DEEPLY
POLITICAL.
>> NOT EVERYONE -- I JUST FEEL
LIKE DOORS ARE CLOSING UPON ME.
BUT THEN YOU'RE ASKING YOURSELF,
CAN I ENDURE THIS?
CAN THIS BE SOMETHING THAT I CAN
GO
>>> HERE ON "THE NATIONAL,"
WE'RE PROFILING YOUNG CANADIANS
AS THEY GO THROUGH MAJOR LIFE
CHANGES.
IT'S A CHANCE TO SEE THE
EXPERIENCES AND TRY TO
UNDERSTANDING -- THE ISSUES THEY
ARE GRAPPLING WITH.
SHE'S A MUSLIM WHO CHOSE TO WEAR
THE NIQAB, A PERSONAL DECISION
BUT IN QUEBEC IT'S ALSO
POLITICAL.
SHE WAS ONE OF TWO WHO TESTIFIED
IN COURT AS A BILL TO REGULATE
FACE COVERINGS WAS BEING
DEBATED.
THAT'S THE BACKDROP.
NOW HERE'S THE REALITY.
IN OUR "THE NATIONAL"
DOCUMENTARY, SHE TELLS US WHY
SHE MADE HER DECISION AND HOW
IT'S CHANGED HER.
>> JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY CAN'T
SEE ME, I'M NOT INVISIBLE.
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE
SOMEBODY DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T
EXIST.
DOESN'T MEAN SHE DON'T HAVE
FEELINGS.
DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T CONNECT
WITH THEM.
THEY'RE STILL HUMAN LIKE YOU.
BEFORE I GO OUTSIDE, THE PRAYER
I SAY MEANS IN THE NAME OF GOD,
I PUT MY TRUST IN HIM.
I AM FATIMA.
I'M 21 YEARS OLD.
I'VE BEEN WEARING A NIQAB FOR 1
AND A HALF YEARS.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN
MONTREAL, CANADA.
I'M CURRENTLY STUDYING IN
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION.
IN THE FUTURE, I WANT TO BE A
TEACHER.
THERE'S A NOTION THAT IF YOU
COVER UP, YOU -- YOU'RE YOU'RE OPPRESSED.
I CHOOSE WHAT I WILL SHOW TO THE
WORLD, NOT VICE VERSA.
MY RELIGION TEACHES ME THAT IT'S
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER.
IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK.
>> I'M TALKING ABOUT BILL 62.
>> IT'S INNOVATING THIS COUNTRY.
I APPLAUD QUEBEC.
>> YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR FACE
UNCOVERED AND EVERYBODY SHOULD
ABIDE BY IT.
>> I WOULD HOPE THIS BILL GOES
ALL OVER CANADA.
[Speaking Foreign
Language]
>> BE CAREFUL.
>> I'M NOT TRYING TO IMPOSE
MYSELF ON ANYONE.
I WEAR A NIQAB AS A PERSONAL
COMMITMENT TOWARDS GOD.
THIS IS PERSONAL.
THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL THING.
I'M JUST PRACTICING MY RIGHT AS
A CANADIAN.
WHEN THE BILL PASSES, I FEEL
LIKE -- I JUST FEEL LIKE DOORS
ARE CLOSING UPON ME.
THEN YOU START ASKING YOURSELF,
CAN I ENDURE THIS?
CAN THIS BE SOMETHING THAT I CAN
GO THROUGH EVERY DAY?
IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME
FOR ME TO GO OUTSIDE.
IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE.
>> ONE OF MY PASTORS SAID TO ME,
FROM A DISTANCE IT'S EASY TO
DEMONIZE OR IDOLIZE SOMEONE, BUT
UP CLOSE, WE CAN DO IT.
>> SINCE I STARTED WEARING THE
NIQAB, I KNOW THAT MY MIND SET
AND MY WORLD VIEWS HAVE
PROGRESSED.
I GREW AS A PERSON.
FOR ME, I THINK SINCE THERE IS
THIS BAD IMAGE OF WHAT ISLAM IS
ABOUT, I THINK AS A MUSLIM, WE
HAVE TO CREATE A POSITIVE
NARRATIVE.
>> ADDS A TEACHER, I DON'T WANT
TO BE TEACHING SCIENCE AND MATH
BUT CONNECT WITH STUDENTS AND GO
BEYOND.
I WANT THEM TO BE GOOD HUMAN
BEINGS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.
I WANT MY STUDENTS TO BECOME
CARRYING INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL,
EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE
DIFFERENCES WITH OTHER PEOPLE,
THEY WILL LEARN HOW TO RESPECT
EACH OTHER.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'LL
ALWAYS HAVE DIFFERENCES, BUT TO
LIVE IN A PEACEFUL SOCIETY, TO
COEXIST WITH OTHER PEOPLE, YOU
HAVE TO RESPECT THEM.
>> WE'RE CANADIAN.
GIVE THE TRUST IN YOUR
NEIGHBORS.
DESPITE OR DIFFERENCES AND
DIVERSITY, WE ARE STRONGER
TOGETHER, AND THAT'S WHAT --
>> I THINK WE ARE MAYBE IN THAT
PATH THAT PEOPLE, AS TIME
PASSES, THEY WILL BE MORE
UNDERSTANDING.
AT FIRST, PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS
AFRAID, RELUCTANT AND THEY DON'T
WANT TO KNOW OR UNDERSTAND.
AS TIME PASSES, THEY KIND OF GET
TO KNOW PEOPLE.
THEY ARE LESS AFRAID AND LESS,
YOU KNOW, NEGATIVE TOWARDS IT.
I THINK THE NIQAB HAS HELPED ME
IN MANY WAYS TO PUT THINGS INTO
PERSPECTIVE.
IT'S A TRANSFORMATION THAT GOES
WITH IT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
TAKE A STEP FORWARD WITH FAITH.
I'M COMING TO A POINT WHERE I'M
REALIZING THAT THE NIQAB IS PART
OF MY JOURNEY AND SUCCESS STORY.
IT'S PART OF ME, JUST LIKE YOU
GUYS BUT DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT JOURNEY.

BUT SQUEEZE POUCHES AREN'T ALL
GOOD NEWS.
EVEN IF SHE LIKED MANGO CHICKEN,
THEY ARE CREATING TONS OF
GARBAGE.
HER MOM COLLECTS AND SHIPS THEM
TO A SPECIAL RECYCLING
PROGRAMME.
>> YOU CAN RECYCLE BOTH THE PACK
AND THE LID.
>> Reporter: JUST LIKE THIS.
>> PUT THEM IN A BOX AND SEND
THEM.
BECAUSE THEY'RE MIXED MATERIAL,
THEY CAN'T GO IN THE BLUE PIN.
>> Reporter: CITIES ARE NOT
COLLECTING A GROWING LIST OF
MIXED PLASTIC PRODUCTS RANGING
FROM CEREAL BAGS AND FOOD
WRAPPERS TO CIGARETTE BUTTS
WHICH CONTAIN PLASTIC IN THE
FILTER.
BUSINESSES ACT AS A GO BETWEEN,
APPROACHING COMPANIES MAKING
HARD TO RECYCLE PRODUCTS AND
ASKING THEM TO PAY THE COST.
IN UR RETURN, THEY CAN SEND THEM
OFF TO FREE AND THEY FEEL GOOD
ABOUT IT.
>> WE HAVE A FREE PROGRAMME.
>> Reporter: IT'S A PRICKY TRICKY
BUSINESS.
THE MORE THEY SEND BACK, THE
HIGHER THE COST TO THE COMPANY.
SOME PRODUCT MAKERS PULL THE
PLUG ON THE PROGRAMME SAYING
IT'S JUST TOO EXPENSIVE.
>> WE WOULD LIKE EVERYTHING TO
BE RECYCLABLE.
THERE'S A COST TO IT.
>> Reporter: SOME ARGUE PROGRAMS
LEAVE PEOPLE THINKING EVERYTHING
IS RECYCLABLE WHEN IN REALITY.
IT'S NOT COST EFFECTIVE TO DO
IT.
>> SO THEY'RE TRYING TO HAVE
THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO.
THEY'RE SAVING ON
TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE, AND
THEY'RE COMMUNICATING THIS
MATERIAL IS RECYCLABLE WHEN IN
REALITY, IT'S LESS THAN 5%.
>> Reporter: EXPERTS SAY WHAT
RENEED TO DO IS REDUCE THE NAME
OF AMOUNT -- REDUCE THE AMOUNT
OF STUFF AND USE WHAT WE HAVE.
THIS TEACHER DECIDED NOT TO
RECYCLE.
>> I WAS ENCOURAGING THEM TO BUY
THIS.
INSTEAD, WE'RE SAYING APPLES.
>> Reporter: WASTEFUL HABITS ARE
HARD TO BREAK.
SOME PROVINCES ARE NOW PUTTING
IT BACK ON PRODUCT MAKERS,
MAKING THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
PUBLIC COST OF DISPOSAL OR
RECYCLING OF THEIR OWN PRODUCTS,
HOPING THE BOTTOM LINE WILL
FORCE BETTER DECISION MAKING ON
WHAT THEY OFFER PEOPLE AND OUR
PLANET.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>>> AND SO PICKING UP ON HER
LAST POINT, RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE
FIVE PROVE INS IN CANADA THAT
ARE -- PROVINCES IN CANADA THAT
MAKE HARD TO RECYCLE PRODUCTS.
THEY DO IT BY MAKING THEM PAY
FOR SOME OF THAT RECYCLING COST.
SO IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, IT'S
ACTUALLY THE WHOLE COST.
BUSINESSES FINANCE AND EVEN
OPERATE THE RECYCLE BC
PROGRAMME.
SIMILAR DEAL IN QUEBEC.
BUSINESSES PAY 100% OF THE COST,
BUT THEY DON'T RUN THE SYSTEM
ITSELF.
AND IN SASKATCHEWAN, MANITOBA,
AND ONTARIO, BUSINESSES PAY A
PORTION OF MUNICIPAL RECYCLING
COSTS.
BUT IN THE REST OF PROVINCES,
THE COST OF RECYCLING PROGRAMS
FALLS TO TAXPAYERS.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," THE LATEST FROM
HAWAII WHERE PEOPLE ARE BRACING
FOR MORE EXPLOSIVE VOLCANIC
ACTIVITY.
>>> HOMES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.
THAT WAS JUST FROM THE SLOW
MOVING LAVA.
NOW, THERE ARE FEARS THAT STREAM
DRIVEN EXPLOSIONS TO SEND ASH
AND ROCK INTO THE AIR.
OUR SCIENCE REPORTER WILL HAVE
THE DETAILS.
>>> BUT FIRST, YOUR ROYAL SAVE
THE DATE JUST 10 DAYS FROM NOW,
WEDDING BELLS WILL RING FOR
PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE.
TODAY THE MINT SENT THEM WISHES
IN THE FORM OF A SILVER COIN.
>> 3, 2, 1, UNVEIL
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> THE $20 PIECE WAS UNVEILED IN
TORONTO.
HARRY OPENED THE GAMES HER AND
HIS FIANCE LIVED HERE.
>> FUN FACT, SHE AND I WERE IN
THE SAME YOGA CLASS ONCE.
IT LEFT A LASTING IMPRESSION ON
ME.
>> IT WAS THE COUPLE'S
COMMITMENT TO HEALTH ISSUES THAT
DECIDED TODAY'S LOCATION, THE
CENTRE FOR ADDICTION AND MENTAL
HEALTH, HARRY VISITED THE CENTRE
IN 2017 SPENDING TIME ABOUT
STAFF AND PATIENTS JUST AS HIS
MOTHER, PRINCESS DIANE IS DID.
THE MINUTE HAS DONATE -- MINT
HAS DONATED $25,000.
>> EVERYBODY LOVES HER AND
EVERYBODY SEEMS --
>> THE BRIDE'S LIK LIKENESS IN WAX
MADE ITS DEBUT.
A SMALLER THAN LIFE TRIBUTE TO A
LARGER THAN LIFE EVENT.
>>> SO WITH ALL THOSE WEDDING
PREPS UNDERWAY, WE'RE GETTING
READY TO -- CBC NEWS WILL BRING
YOU COVERAGE ON TELEVISION, ON
RADIO, AND ONLINE.
ALL NEXT WEEK.
WE'LL BRING YOU "THE NATIONAL"
FROM LONDON AND WINDSOR AND DIG

MONARCHY AND WHAT THIS COUPLE
REPRESENTS.

SEAT TO THE WEDDING AT 4:00 A.M.
EASTERN ON C BC TELEVISION, CBC
NEWS NETWO
>> Andrew: ON "THE NATIONAL"
TONIGHT, VIDEO APPARENTLY
SHOWING THE ROCKET ATTACKS WE
TOLD YOU ABOUT EARLIER TARGETING
THE ISRAELI-OCCUPIED GOLAN
HEIGHTS.
20 ROCKETS IN ALL AND LAUNCHED
BY IRANIAN FORCES IN SYRIA.
ISRAEL SAYS SOME WERE
INTERCEPTED BY THE IRON DOME
DEFENCE SYSTEM.
AND ACCORDING TO SYRIAN STATE
MEDIA, ISRAEL FIRED BACK AND HIT
A NUMBER OF TARGETS IN SYRIA.
THE ATTACKS ACCOMPANY HEIGHTENED
TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST,
PARTICULARLY FOLLOWING THE
U.S.'S DECISION TO PULL OUT OF
THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL.
>>> ALSO, DRAMATIC SCENE IN THE
HEART OF ROME.
THAT'S A PUBLIC BUS ON FIRE ON A
BUSY STREET.
THE CAUSE IS BELIEVED TO BE A
MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE ISSUE.
SO FAR THIS YEAR, 10 BUS THERE'S
HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES.
>> THE GROUND IS SHAKING,
RUMBLING.
FLAMES ARE COMING OUT.
>> Andrew: JUST A COUPLE OF
HOURS AFTER THAT VIDEO WAS
TAKEN, THERE WAS A BIG EXPLOSION
AT THE KILAUEA VOLCANO, CREATING
A WHOLE NEW REASON TO BE
WORRIED.
LET'S BRING IN CBC METEOROLOGIST
AND SCIENCE REPORTER JOHANNA
WAGSTAFFE, WHO HAS BEEN TRACKING
TODAY'S DEVELOPMENTS.
JO, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT ABOUT
THIS IS SO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
WE'VE SEEN THE LAST WEEK?
>> Johanna: THE MAIN THREAT SO
FAR HAS BEEN FROM THE SLOW
BUBBLING AND GASES AND FISSURES
THAT HAVE OPENED UP AWAY FROM
THE MAIN CRATER.
BUT AS IT'S FEEDING, IT'S
DRAWING IT AWAY FROM THE MAIN
CALDERA, OR LAVA LAKE.
IT'S LEADING TO AN INCREASED
CONCERN OF EXPLOSIVE EVENTS.
AS THAT LAVA LAKE DROPS CLOSER
TO THE GROUNDWATER TABLE, ROCKS
ARE CONTINUING TO FALL INTO THE
LAVA LAKE.
THE CONCERN IS, THERE COULD BE A
BUILD UP OF PRESSURE ONCE THE
LAVA AND ROCKS INTERACT WITH
GROUNDWATER AND IT COULD LEAD TO
A STEAM-DRIVEN EXPLOSION OR
SEVERAL EXPLOSIONS.
IT'S HARD TO SAY WHEN THIS WILL
HAPPEN OR HOW LARGE THE EVENTS
WILL BE, BUT NOT JUST GAS, ASH,
LAVA, AND LARGE BOULDERS ARE
BEING THROWN OVER ONE KILOMETRE
AWAY FROM THE CRATER WILL BE A
BIG CONCERN.
SCIENTISTS, THOUGH, ARE
MONITORING THE SITUATION 24/7
FOR ANY CHANGES IN THAT LAKE
LEVEL.
>> Andrew: WOW, OK.
JOHANNA WAGSTAFFE, THANKS VERY
MUCH.
>> Johanna: YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> Adrienne: A WAVE OF RED AND
WHITE MADE ITS WAY TO THE
CAPITAL HONORING CANADIAN
OLYMPIC AND PARA OLYMPIC
ATHLETES.
THIS IS OUR "MOTION OF THE DAY."
>> THIS HAS BEEN UNBELIEVABLE,
GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> TODAY WAS AN AMAZING DAY OF
CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE IN
SPORTS.
IT STARTED AT THE RIDEAU HALL
AND THEN AT THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.
* O CANADA
* WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE
>> GET ON THE FLOOR WHERE
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY GOT UP AND
WE GOT TO SING "O CANADA."
AND GETTING TO RECEIVE OUR
OLYMPIC RINGS, IT'S ONE PART
THAT EVERY ATHLETE LOOKS FORWARD
TO.
>> CHANCE OF A LIFETIME HERE.
WE'RE VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT
THE SUPPORT THAT THE CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN TO THE
ATHLETES OVER THE YEARS.
>> WE ARE THE ATHLETES, BUT
EVERYBODY PLAYS A PART.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE.
>> Adrienne: OK.
LET'S NOT FORGET WHAT A RECORD
BREAKER THESE OLYMPICS AND PARA
OLYMPICS WERE.
LARGEST-EVER DELEGATION FOR THE
OLYMPICS, RECORD-BREAKING MEDAL
HALL, 29, 28 IN PARA OLYMPICS.
A LOT TO CELEBRATION.
>> Andrew: I'M AMAZED THAT THE
ATHLETES DON'T HAVE WHIPLASH
FROM BEING THRUST INTO THE
SPOTLIGHT OF INTERNATIONAL
COMPETITION AND THEN BACK AT THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
IT'S GREAT.
>> Ian: NICE SAY HAVE THAT
MOTION IN THE SUN, NICE CHANCE
FOR THE ATHLETES TO GET INVOLVED
TOGETHER.
THEY DON'T OFTEN GET A CHANCE TO
DO THAT, BUT I BET A LOT OF THEM
ARE THINKING, TRAINING.
45 MONTHS UNTIL THE NEXT WINTER
GAMES.
>> Andrew: RIGHT BACK AT IT.
>> Ian: A MOMENT IN THE
SPOTLIGHT AND THEN BACK TO THE
GRUELING WORKING OUT.
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT THAT'S
LIKE.
>> Adrienne: THERE'S STILL TIME
FOR YOU.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Ian: I'M SURE THERE'S NOTHING
I COULD DO, OTHER THAN SAY THIS,
THAT'S THE "THE NATIONAL" FOR
MAY 9.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOOD NIGHT.
