>> Rosemary: ON THIS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...
>> CANADIANS NEED TO KNOW THAT
WE WILL ALWAYS A GOVERNMENT, A
COUNTRY, STAND UP FOR THE
INTEREST OF CANADIANS.
THE PRIME MINISTER IS PUSHED ON
RELATIONS WITH CHINA AS THIRD
CANADIAN IS DETAINED.
WE'LL SHOW YOU WHY THAT'S NOT
THE ONLY SOURCE OF TENSION.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RUNNING
HIS SYRIA POLICY AS IF IT'S A
REALITY TV SHOW.
>> Ian: HEAVY CRITICISM FROM ALL
SIDES AS THE U.S. WILL PULL ITS
TROOPS FROM SYRIA.
WHY WITH THERE IS CONCERN -- WHY
THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT A BRUTAL
REPEAT OF HISTORY.
>> BUT THEN THERE ARE THOSE
OTHER TIMES WHEN YOU THINK, OH,
I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO TALK TO.
>> Adrienne: AS BABY BOOMERS
AGE, A LONG AGO TREND IS NEW
AGAIN.
LIVING WITH FRIENDS.
MOVING AWAY FROM LONELINESS.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>> Rosemary: IN THE DIPLOMATIC
CHILL BETWEEN CANADA AND CHINA,
THIS CAN'T POSSIBLY HELP.
NEWS OF ANOTHER CANADIAN TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY.
THE THIRD IN LESS THAN 10 DAYS
NOW.
ALL AS THE GOVERNMENT CHINA
ADVISORY REMAINS UNCHANGED.
IT WAS A MAJOR THEME AT THE
YEAR-END NEWS CONFERENCE.
KATIE SIMPSON HAS DETAILS AND
WHY JUSTIN TRUDEAU'S RESPONSE TO
THE CRISIS SEEMS TO RESTRAINED.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
IS TRYING TO DOWN PLAY FEARS
OVER ESCALATING TENSIONS WITH
BEJING.
A DIFFICULT TASK AFTER THE
ARREST OF YET ANOTHER CANADIAN,
SARAH McIVER, AN ALBERTA WOMAN
TEACHING IN CHINA.
>> THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO FIT THE
PATTERN SET BY THE PREVIOUS TWO.
>> Reporter: TRUDEAU SAYS THIS
CASE IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT
APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING ROUTINE
LIKE A VISA PROBLEM, WHICH IS
NOT NECESSARILY UNCOMMON.
WHEREAS FORMER DIPLOMAT MICHAEL
KOVRIG AND ENTREPRENEUR MICHAEL
SPAVOR ARE BOTH ACCUSED OF
COMPROMISING CHINESE NATIONAL
SECURITY.
THE GOVERNMENT CONFIRMED THIS
LATEST ARREST AFTER GETTING A
TIP FROM THE CONSERVATIVES.
>> ONE OF OUR MEMBERS OF
PARLIAMENT IN ALBERTA RECEIVED A
CALL FROM A FAMILY MEMBER.
AND WERE VERY CONCERNED.
THIS IS SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN
LIVING AND WORKING IN CHINA FOR
SEVERAL MONTHS WITHOUT
DIFFICULTY IN ANY WAY.
AND THEN SUDDENLY, OFFICIALS
PULLED PERSON IN FOR QUESTIONING
IN RELATION TO THEIR VISA.
>> Reporter: ALL THREE
DETENTIONS COME AFTER CANADA
ARRESTED MENG WANZHOU, THE
C.F.O. OF TECH GIANT HUAWEI, AT
THE REQUEST OF THE UNITED
STATES.
AND WHILE OTTAWA WILL NOT CALL
BEJING'S ACTIONS RETALIATORY,
THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT IN THE
MINDS OF OBSERVERS.
>> IT'S HARD TO SEE THAT IT'S A
COINCIDENCE OR BECAUSE THERE ARE
TOO MANY OF THESE THINGS
HAPPENING.
>> I THINK IT'S DISTURBING AND
IT IS TIME FOR THE CANADIAN
AUTHORITIES TO TAKE SOME
ACTIONS.
>> Reporter: TRUDEAU IS
DEFENDING THOSE ACTIONS SO FAR,
EVEN AS HIS CRITICS CALL FOR NEW
INCREASED TRAVEL WARNINGS AND
DEMAND HE PERSONALLY DO MORE TO
HELP THE DETAINED CANADIANS.
>> EVEN THOUGH POLITICAL
POSTURING MIGHT BE SATISFACTORY
IN THE SHORT-TERM TO MAKE
YOURSELF FEEL LIKE YOU'RE
STOMPING ON THE TABLE AND DOING
SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT, IT MAY
NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OUTCOME WE
ALL WANT.
>> Rosemary: KATIE SIMPSON JOINS
ME NOW.
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE CANADA HAS
RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM ALLIES,
BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT MAY CHANGE
SOON?
>> A SOURCE WITH DIRECT
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SITUATION TELLS
ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN A QUIET
PUSH BY CANADIAN DIPLOMATS TO
GET CANADA'S TRADITIONAL ALLIES
TO SPEAK OUT PUBLICLY IN
CANADA'S DEFENCE.
CANADIAN OFFICIALS ARE ARGUING
THAT CHINA'S BEHAVIOR REALLY
NEEDS TO BE CALLED OUT.
AND WHILE CANADA IS BEING
TARGETED TODAY, ANY LIKE-MINDED
ALLY COULD BE HIT TOMORROW.
THERE IS NOT BEEN A LOT OF
RESISTANCE TO THIS CAMPAIGN I'M
TOLD, IT IS EVEN GETTING SUPPORT
IN THE UNITED STATES.
AND THERE IS EXPECTED TO BE SOME
SORT OF PUBLIC BACKING OF CANADA
IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
>> Rosemary: THANK YOU FOR THIS
AGAIN.
KATIE SIMPSON CONTINUING TO
TRACK THIS STORY FOR US.
>>> OF COURSE THE TRUTH IS WHEN
IT COMES TO CHINA, IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT DIPLOMACY, IT'S ALSO
BUSINESS.
SO THE PRIME MINISTER WAS ASKED
TODAY IF HE WILL BAN HUAWEI FROM
CANADA'S 5G NETWORK AS THREE
CLOSE ALLIES HAVE DONE.
HE WAS NOT DEFINITIVE.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: IT SHOULDN'T AT ALL BE
A POLITICAL DECISION MADE ON HOW
WE ENGAGE, BUT A DECISION MADE
BY EXPERTS.
>> Rosemary: IN OTHER WORDS,
WE'RE NOT THERE YET.
FIVE CHIEFS FROM THE FIVE EYES
INTELLIGENCE NETWORK BRIEFED
TRUDEAU WARNING THAT HUAWEI'S
CLOSE TIES TO THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT CONSTITUTE A NATIONAL
SECURITY RISK.
THE U.S., AUSTRALIA AND NEW
ZEALAND HAVE BANNED THE COMPANY.
THE U.K. HASN'T RULED IT OUT.
NOW CONSIDERING THE DISMAL STATE
OF RELATIONS, OTTAWA MAY SIMPLY
BE WORRIED ABOUT MORE CHINESE
RETALIATION.
TURNS OUT, THOUGH, THIS IS NOT
THE ONLY AREA OF TENSION BETWEEN
THE COUNTRIES.
AS MURRAY BREWSTER EXPLAINS,
THINGS HAD BEEN HEATING UP
BEFORE MENG WAS ARRESTED.
>> Reporter: FOR MONTHS,
CANADIAN MILITARY FORCES HAVE
BEEN HELPING ENFORCE SANCTIONS
ON NORTH KOREA AND THAT HAS AT
TIMES RAISED THE IRE OF BEJING
ACCORDING TO CANADA'S TOP
MILITARY COMMANDER.
>> WE HAVE BEEN INTERFERED WITH
ON OUR FLIGHTS IN THE AREA.
BEEN CHALLENGED INAPPROPRIATELY
IN INTERNATIONAL AIRSPACE.
>> BY CHINA?
>> BY CHINA.
WE FLY IN THE REGION.
WE AND OUR ALLIES HAVE BEEN
CHALLENGED AND IN SOME CASES
CHALLENGED INAPPROPRIATELY.
>> CAN YOU DEFINE
INAPPROPRIATELY?
>> FLYING TOO CLOSE, USING
IMPROPER RADIO PROCEDURE TO
CHALLENGE, INAPPROPRIATE
LANGUAGE.
>> Reporter: IN OTHER WORDS,
THEY WERE SWEARING AT US.
WE ASKED NATIONAL DEFENCE FOR
MORE INFORMATION, ALL THEY WOULD
SAY WAS THE INCIDENTS TOOK PLACE
IN OCTOBER AND AT NO TIME WERE
CANADIANS AT RISK.
AS CHINA FLEXES ITS MUSCLES,
THERE ARE IMPLICATIONS RIGHT ON
CANADA'S DOORSTEP.
>> WE ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER
LONGER TERM ISSUES AS IT RELATES
TO WHAT CHINA HAS SAID ABOUT
ACCESS TO THE ARCTIC AND HOW WE
SEE ACCESS TO THE ARCTIC.
>> BEJING RELEASED ITS ARCTIC
STRATEGY, PROMISING TO BUILD A
ROAD.
STATE OWNED COMPANIES IN CHINA
HAVE INVESTED TENS OF BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS, BUILDING PORTS AND
ESTABLISHING ICE-FREE TRADE
ROUTES.
>> THE PROSPECT OF THE ARCTIC
BECOMING A POINT OF TENSION ON
THE GLOBE, I THINK, ARE REAL.
>> Reporter: MOST EXPERTS SAY
THE CHANCES OF A MILITARY CLASH
IN THE ARCTIC ARE SLIM, BUT THAT
DOESN'T RULE OUT THE
INTIMIDATION WE SAW OFF NORTH
KOREA FROM HAPPENING HERE, ONE
DAY.
>> LET'S TURN TO THE U.K., WHERE
TODAY MARKS 100 DAYS UNTIL
BREXIT.
THERE IS STILL NO DEAL FOR A
SMOOTH EXIT FROM THE EUROPEAN
UNION, BUT THE BRITISH P.M.
INSISTS ONE IS COMING SOON.
>> WHEN WE RETURN IN THE NEW
YEAR, WHEN WE HAVE HAD THOSE
DISCUSSIONS, WHEN WE BRING THOSE
ASSURANCES BACK.
>> Adrienne: BUT SOME BUSINESS
GROUPS AREN'T CONVINCED.
THEY POSTED THIS LETTER SAYING
THE RISK OF A NO-DEAL BREXIT I
SEE RISING AND WARNING THERE IS
NOT ENOUGH TIME.
BUT TODAY, THE FEAR OF FUTURE
DISRUPTION GAVE WAY TO ACTUAL
DISRUPTION IN THE PARLIAMENT.
WHILE THE PRIME MINISTER IS USED
TO BEING THE TARGET OF DERISION,
AS THOMAS DAIGLE SHOWS US, TODAY
WAS THE OPPOSITION LEADER CALLED
OUT FOR WORDS HE SEEMED TO AIM
IN HER DIRECTION.
>> ORDER.
CALM YOURSELVES!
TRY SAY IT.
>> Reporter: IF ONLY FOR A
MOMENT, BRITAIN TOOK ITS EYES
OFF BREXIT AND FOCUSED ON THE
CRISIS.
>> YOU WOULDN'T ACCEPT BEHAVIOR
LIKE THAT IN A NURSERY CLASS.
>> Reporter: SO WHAT DID HE
REALLY SAY IN THERE?
JEREMY CORBYN'S SPOKESPERSON WAS
QUICK TO CLAIM HE SAID STUPID
PEOPLE, NOT STUPID WOMAN.
SO HERE'S ANOTHER LOOK.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME
MINISTER'S RESPONSE --
>> EVERYBODY IN THIS HOUSE,
PARTICULARLY IN THIS 100TH YEAR
ANNIVERSARY OF WOMAN GETTING THE
VOTE TO ENCOURAGE WOMEN TO COME
INTO THIS PLACE.
>> Reporter: WHATEVER JEREMY
CORBYN DID SAY, HE WASN'T SORRY.
>> MR. SPEAKER, I DID NOT USE
THE WORDS STUPID WOMAN.
>> Reporter: HE'S COME UNDER
FIRE FOR HAVING NO CLEAR PLAN OF
HIS OWN.
THIS WON'T HELP HIM.
>> YOU CAN'T SAY BECAUSE OF THE
WAY HE HANDLED BREXIT HE'S UNDER
GREATER FIRE NOW.
BUT THERE IS JUST A GREATER
SENSE OF ANGER AROUND THE PLACE.
>> Reporter: YES, EVEN HOLIDAY
SPIRIT CAN'T REPLACE THE GLOOM
FELT HERE.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS, LONDON.
>> Adrienne: A LITTLE MORE
GLOOM.
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA HAS
ANNOUNCED IT IS SUING Facebook
OVER THE CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA
BREACH.
THEY MISLED USERS ABOUT THE
SECURITY OF THEIR DATA AND
FAILED TO TRACK THIRD PARTY
APPS.
VIEWERS MIGHT REMEMBER CAMBRIDGE
ANALYTICA, IT'S A POLITICAL
CONSULTING FIRM EMPLOYED BY THE
DONALD TRUMP CAMPAIGN AMONGST
OTHERS.
IT OBTAINED IMPROPERLY USER DATA
FROM TENS OF MILLIONS OF
Facebook USERS AND THEN TRIED TO
USE THAT INFORMATION TO TARGET
POLITICAL MESSAGES FOR MAXIMUM
EFFECT.
WHEN THE BREACH WAS REVEALED
EARLIER THIS YEAR, IT WAS A
MAJOR SCANDAL FOR THE TECH GIANT
AND NOT THE LAST.
A "NEW YORK TIMES" REPORT SHOWS
THAT Facebook HAS GIVEN DOZENS
OF BUSINESSES STUNNING ACCESS TO
USER DATA.
IT'S A GLIMPSE INTO THE BLACK
BOX OF DATA PARTNERSHIPS AND
IT'S OPENED A PANDORA'S BOX OF
QUESTIONS.
MORE THAN 150 COMPANIES HAD
ARRANGEMENTS WITH Facebook
GIVING SOME OF THEM ACCESS TO
THINGS LIKE NAME AND CONTACT
INFORMATION, OF NOT JUST USERS,
BUT THEIR FRIENDS AND THEN THE
POWER TO READ PRIVATE MESSAGES.
AS ONE OF THE JOURNALISTS BEHIND
THE REPORT NOTES, THERE IS NO
EVIDENCE PARTNERS ABUSED THE
DATA.
>> BUT THE FOCUS WAS THAT
Facebook GAVE THEM BROAD ACCESS
TO READER'S MESSAGES, INCLUDING
THE ABILITY TO READ THEM.
I THINK PEOPLE'S REACTIONS ARE
DISMAYED THAT Facebook HAS NOT
BEEN UP FRONT TIME AND TIME
AGAIN IN DISCLOSING PARTNERSHIPS
AND SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH
WHAT SEEMS TO BE EVER INCREASING
AMOUNT OF COMPANIES.
>> Adrienne: Facebook RESPONSE.
THAT MANY OF THE ARRANGEMENTS
ARE NO LONGER IN EFFECT.
BUT Facebook IS ALREADY FACE AGO
STORM OF SCRUTINY OVER PRIVACY.
LAWMAKERS AND OFFICIALS IN
EUROPE AND U.S. ARE LOOKING HARD
AT THE COMPANY'S PRACTISE.
>> IS Facebook LIMITING THE
AMOUNT OF DATA Facebook COLLECTS
OR USES?
>> CONGRESSMAN, YES.
>> IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE THE
DAYS OF CONGRESS ESSENTIALLY
DEEMING THE HIGH TECH INDUSTRY
AS OFF LIMITS.
THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.
>> Adrienne: AS FOR USERS THEY
ARE AGAIN LEFT WITH THE
QUESTION, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR
DATA IS?
THERE IS A LOT TO LOOK AT WHICH
IS WHY MATT BRAGA IS HERE.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THIS AND WHAT HAPPENED WITH
CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA?
>> THIS IS NOT ANOTHER BREACH OR
A THIRD PARTY APP.
Facebook IS PROMISING TO GIVE
THE SO-CALLED PARTNERS ACCESS TO
DATA THAT MOST DEVELOPERS DIDN'T
GET.
MORE SENSITIVE DATA REGARDLESS
OF THE USER PRIVACY SETTING OR
WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.
Facebook SAYS THESE COMPANIES
WERE ACTING AS EXTENSION OF
Facebook ITSELF.
SO WHAT DID THEY GET?
WELL, SONY, MICROSOFT, AM NONE,
OTHERS -- AMAZON COULD OBTAIN
ADDRESSES THROUGH THEIR FRIENDS,
AND SPOTIFY, NETFLIX AND ROYAL
BANK OF CANADA COULD READ
PRIVATE MESSAGES.
>> Adrienne: WHY WOULD NETFLIX
OR RBC WANT ACCESS TO PRIVATE
MESSAGES?
>> THERE ISN'T SUGGEST THAT THEY
LOOKED AT THEM.
NETFLIX AND SPOTIFY WANTED TO
MAKE IT EASIER TO SHARE MUSIC
AND RECOMMENDATIONS WITH FRIEND.
FOR THAT, THEY NEEDED THE
ABILITY TO SEND MESSAGES ON YOUR
BEHALF.
IT'S UNCLEAR HOW MANY OF
Facebook'S PARTNERS USED THE
DATA OR WHY Facebook GAVE THEM
SO MUCH FREEDOM IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
WHAT WE KNOW, THE USERS WERE
NONE THE WISER.
THERE WAS LITTLE NO TRANSPARENCY
ABOUT WHAT WAS BEING SHARED AND
WITH WHO.
AS Facebook WORKS TO REGAIN
TRUST, REVELATIONS LIKE THIS
MAKE IT HARD TO TAKE THEM AT
THEIR WORD.
>> Adrienne: WE'LL STILL BE
TALKING ABOUT THIS IN 2019.
THERE IS TALK ABOUT DELETING
Facebook.
AMID ALL THE QUESTIONS ABOUT
Facebook'S HANDLING OF USER
DATA, THE COMPANY'S GROWTH SEEMS
TO BE SLOWING.
AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR,
THE COMPANY WAS ADDING AROUND 70
MILLION ACTIVE USERS EACH
QUARTER.
GROWTH THIS YEAR HAS SLOWED TO
HALF THAT.
BUT THAT IS STILL GROWTH.
AND FOR PERSPECTIVE, Facebook
STILL HAS MORE THAN 2.2 BILLION
ACTIVE USERS.
DON'T FORGET, Facebook OWNS
INSTAGRAM, ITS GROWTH IS
EXPLOSIVE.
IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS, THE
NUMBER OF INSTAGRAM ACTIVE USERS
DOUBLED TO MORE THAN A BILLION
PEOPLE.
>> Ian: LET'S TURN TO JUNIOR
LEAGUE HOCKEY, EXCITING TO
WATCH, BUT IN MANITOBA, THE
ACTION ON THE ICE IS GIVING WAY
TO ARGUMENTS IN A COURTROOM.
FIVE TEAMS IN THE SOUTHERN PART
OF THE PROVINCE HAVE BROKEN AWAY
TO FORM A NEW LEAGUE AND THAT
SPARKED ACCUSATIONS OF RACISM.
CAMERON MacINTOSH LOOKS INTO THE
DISPUTE.
>> Reporter: IN PEGUIS FIRST
NATION, THE BANNERS HANG.
THREE CONSECUTIVE PROVINCIAL
TITLES.
THIS YEAR, PLAYERS WERE HOPING
FOR A FOURTH.
THAT WAS UNTIL HALF THE LEAGUE
DECIDED THEY WOULD NO LONGER
PLAY HERE.
>> BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MOTIVATION AND COMPETITION
BETWEEN EVERYONE.
>> BEFORE THEY COME OUT AND
WATCHING GOOD HOCKEY.
>> Reporter: MANITOBA'S JUNIOR
HOCKEY LEAGUE OPERATED AS A
PROVINCE-WIDE LEAGUE UNTIL THIS
SEASON WHEN FIVE TEAMS SPLIT TO
FORM A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN,
LEAVING BEHIND FOUR TEAMS, ALL
BASED IN FIRST NATIONS
COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING PEGUIS.
THE TEAM IS ASKING FOR A COURT
INJUNCTION AGAINST THIS, THE NEW
CAPITAL REGION JUNIOR LEAGUE.
CLAIMING IT'S ILLEGALLY USING
PLAYERS UNDER THE CONTRACT.
WHILE THE TEAMS THEMSELVES HAVE
INDIGENOUS AND NON-INDIGENOUS
PLAYERS, PEGUIS'S CHIEF SAYS
THERE IS A CLEAR MESSAGE.
>> IT'S BLATANT RACISM.
IT'S BASICALLY LITTLE JOHNNY
TAKING THE PUCK AWAY.
THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN CANADA.
>> Reporter: THE LAWYER FORT NEW
LEAGUE DECLINED TO SPEAK.
IN COURT TODAY, HE ARGUED THE
DECISION TO WITHDRAW IS DUE TO
COST AND SAFETY CONCERNS OVER
TRAVEL IN LIGHT OF THE HUMBOLDT
CRASH.
MEANWHILE, THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO
JURISDICTION.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE
SIDING WITH THE OTHER LEAGUE.
THAT SHOULDN'T BE.
THEY'RE HERE REPRESENTING ALL OF
US.
>> Reporter: JUNIOR B IS THIRD
TIER JUNIOR HOCKEY.
MOST AREN'T NHL-BOUND, BUT IN
RURAL MANITOBA, IT'S A STAPLE.
AND THE RIVALRIES INTENSE.
THIS INJUNCTION COULD BE THE
ULTIMATE POWER PLAY.
IF SUCCESSFUL, THE NEW LEAGUE
COULD BE SUSPENDED.
THESE GUYS JUST WANT THEIR OLD
LEAGUE BACK.
>> A LOT OF GOOD TALENT COMES
OUT OF HERE.
>> Reporter: THERE IS MORE AT
STAKE IN THE FACE-OFF IN COURT
THAN ON THE ICE.
>> Ian: HERE ARE SOME OF THE OR
STORIES ON "THE NATIONAL".
NEW CHARGES IN THE SEXUAL
ASSAULT SCANDAL AT A TORONTO
PRIVATE SCHOOL.
POLICE HAVE ARRESTED A 7TH
STUDENT FROM ST. MICHAEL'S
COLLEGE SCHOOL.
>> FROM START TO FINISH, WE HAVE
INVESTIGATED EIGHT DIFFERENT
OCCURRENCES.
>> Ian: BUT THE CHARGES HAVE
ONLY BEEN LAID IN THREE OF THOSE
OCCURRENCES, IT INCLUDES
ASSAULT, SEXUAL ASSAULT WITH A
WEAPON, AND GANG SEXUAL ASSAULT
CHARGES.
POLICE REMAIN CONCERNED THAT
VIDEO OF THE ASSAULT INVOLVING
STUDENTS, WHICH THEY POINT OUT
IS CHILD PORNOGRAPHY, IS STILL
BEING SHARED ONLINE.
>> THAT'S PERHAPS A LESSON HERE,
IT NEEDS TO BE,S THE OPERATIONS
CONTINUE TO BE ASSESSED AS THEY
PROCEED.
>> Ian: A B.C. COUPLE CHARGED
WITH PLANTING BOMBS OUTSIDE THE
LEGISLATURE IN VICTORIA WILL
REMAIN FREE.
THE HIGHEST COURT DENIED THE
CROWN'S ATTEMPT TO HAVE THEM
RETRIED AND WAS CRITICAL OF THE
RCMP'S HANDLING OF THE CASE.
JOHN NUTTALL AND AMANDA KORODY
WERE BE INVESTIGATED FOR TERROR.
THE DECISION WAS UPHELD TODAY.
>>> IN NEW YORK, A CANADIAN MAN
HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS
IN PRISON.
20-YEAR-OLD ABDULRAHMAN EL
BAHNASAWY HAD PLEADED GUILTY TO
CONSPIRING WITH ISIS TO COMMIT
TERRORIST ACTS, INCLUDING FAILED
PLANS TO BOMB NEW YORK'S TIME
SQUARE AND THE CITY SUBWAY

A CRISIS AND THERE IS NO
CHEESECAKE.
>> Rosemary: I LOVE THAT SHOW.
FOUR SENIORS LIVING UNDER ONE
ROOF.
THE "GOLDEN GIRLS" AS CONSIDERED
REVOLUTIONARY WHEN IT PREMIERED
IN 19 # 85, BUT TODAY, IT'S MORE
FACT THAN FICTION.
THREE WOMEN HAVE MADE A SIMILAR
CHOICE.
PART OF A GROWING TREND.
A NEW WAY TO DEAL WITH THE
REALITIES OF BEING SINGLE.
>> OKAY, I'M TAKE THIS DOWN.
I LIKE THE ANGEL.
>> Reporter: IT MIGHT BE COLD
OUTSIDE.
BUT INSIDE, THERE IS EASY
LAUGHTER AND A FESTIVE MOOD
AMONG THREE OLD FRIENDS.
>> OH, YES, THAT'S PERFECT.
>> Reporter: THIS YEAR, FOR THE
FIRST TIME, THEY'RE DOING
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
SPENDING CHRISTMAS TOGETHER
UNDER THE SAME ROOF.
>> WE DIDN'T LIKE LIVING ALONE
ANYMORE.
YOU DIDN'T LAUGH VERY MUCH.
>> I DIDN'T MIND BEING ALONE AT
TIMES.
BUT THEN THERE ARE THOSE OTHER
TIMES WHEN YOU THINK, OH, I WISH
I HAD SOMEONE TO TALK TO.
>> Reporter: LONELINESS IS A
GROWING EPIDEMIC IN CANADA.
MORE THAN ONE MILLION SENIORS
SAY THEY'RE LONELY.
BEING ALONE CONTRIBUTES TO
SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS, LIKE
INCREASED RISK OF HEART ATTACK
OR STROKE, DEMENTIA, DEPRESSION,
AND RISK OF FALLS.
>> BY LIVING TOGETHER, PEOPLE
HAVE A COMMUNITY.
AND ESPECIALLY PEOPLE THAT LIVED
IN A FAMILY, YOU KNOW, A
PARTNER, CHIL PHYSICAL HEALTH.
AND FOR MENTAL HEALTH.

FOUR CUPS OF CHICKEN BROTH.

HEALTHIER THAN EVER.
THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE AROUND

PAY FOR CONTINUED HEALTH AND
COMPANIONSHIP.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOCKS HIS
ADVISORS WITH A PLAN TO PULL
U.S. TROOPS OUT OF SYRIA.
>> Adrienne: AND THE ALLEGED
EXECUTIONER OF TWO CANADIANS IN
THE PHILIPPINES IS STILL ON THE
LOOSE AND THERE MIGHT BE A
TROUBLING EXPLANATION FOR THAT.
>> I THINK HE'S BEEN A COP AND
THAT IS WHOLE OTHER DIMENSION
FOR THE INVESTIGATION AND WHY
HE'S BEEN ABLE TO EVADE THE
NATIONAL POLICE AND MILITARY FO
HARMED BY MR. DOWNIE.
>> Ian: A CALGARY JURY HAS
CONVICTED EDWARD DOWNEY IN
FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.
SARA BAILLIE'S BODY WAS FOUND IN
HER APARTMENT WHICH TRIGGERED AN
AMBER ALERT FOR HER
FIVE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, TALIYAH

MOST OF THE JURY RECOMMENDED HE

>>> THERE WAS WORRIED PARENTS IN
TORONTO TODAY AS POLICE
INVESTIGATED A POSSIBLE DRIVE-BY
SHOOTING OUTSIDE AN ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL THAT HAPPENED JUST AS THE
SCHOOL DAY WAS ABOUT TO END.
STUDENTS WERE PLACED IN LOCKDOWN

POLICE DID FIND EVIDENCE OF GUN
FIRE.
THIS IS THE THIRD SHOOTING IN

THEY SAY ALBERTA'S OILSANDS

NEED OUR JOBS BACK, WE NEED TO
GET PIPELINES BUILT.
>> Ian: THE RALLY COMES JUST A
DAY AFTER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
PROMISED MORE THAN $1.6 BILLION
TO SUPPORT THE AILING ENERGY
SECTOR.
LET'S TURN TO SUDDEN AND
CONTROVERSIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
TODAY.
HE'S PULLING AMERICAN TROOPS OUT
OF SYRIA.
TONIGHT, THE WHITE HOUSE PUT OUT
THIS VIDEO MESSAGE.
>> I'VE BEEN PRESIDENT FOR
ALMOST TWO YEARS AND WE'VE
REALLY STEPPED YOU THE UP AND WE
HAVE WON AGAINST ISIS.
WE'VE BEATEN THEM AND WE HAVE
BEATEN THEM BADLY AND TAKEN BACK
THE LAND.
NOW IT'S TIME FOR OUR TROOPS TO
COME BACK HOME.
>> Ian: HE MEANS ALL 2000 OF
THEM, BUT SUDDENLY DECLARING
VICTORY OVER ISIS TOOK A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON BY
SURPRISE.
AS ELLEN MAURO TELLS US,
REPUBLICANS ARE AMONG THOSE
SOUNDING THE ALARM.
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
DECISION TO WITHDRAW FROM SYRIA,
HIS TWITTER DECLARATION ISIS
THERE HAD BEEN DEFEATED, SPARKED
IMMEDIATE CRITICISM, EVEN FROM
HIS OWN PARTY.
>> THE DECISION TO WITHDRAW AN
AMERICAN PRESENCE IN SYRIA IS A
COLOSSAL MISTAKE.
>> IF YOU'RE TIRED 0 FIGHTING
RADICAL IS ISLAM I GET THAT, BUT
THEY'RE NOT TIRED OF FIGHTING
YOU.
>> Reporter: DONALD TRUMP MAKING
THE MOVE DESPITE TOP OFFICIALS
WANTING THE U.S. TO STAY.
TWO WEEKS AGO, GENERAL DUNFORD
SAID THE JOB WAS NOT DONE.
>> ABOUT 35-40,000 LOCAL FORCES
HAVE TO BE TRAINED TO PROVIDE
STABILITY.
WE'RE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE
OF 20% OF THE TRAINING OF THOSE
FORCES.
WITH REGARD TO STABILIZATION, WE
HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
>> Reporter: ANALYSTS FEAR THE
VACUUM LEFT BEHIND.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RUNNING
HIS SYRIA POLICY AS IF IT'S A
REALITY TV SHOW.
IF PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKES THIS
DECISION AND HASTILY WITHDRAWS
U.S. FORCES FROM SYRIA, HE WILL
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THE
CONDITIONS FOR ISIS TO REEMERGE
WITH A VENGEANCE.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE
GEOPOLITICAL ISSUES AS WELL,
CONCERNS IRAN, RUSSIA AND TURKEY
WILL BE ABLE TO ASSERT MORE
CONTROL.
THAT COULD HURT THE KURDS IN
NORTHERN SYRIA, AMERICA'S
PARTNER ON THE GROUND, BUT FOE
TO TURKEY'S PRESIDENT ERDOGAN.
STILL, PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS HIS
SUPPORTERS.
>> FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WITH THE
COURAGE TO DECLARE VICTORY.
>> Reporter: ADMINISTRATION
OFFICIALS HELD A BRIEFING ON THE
DECISION.
THEY SAID ISIS ONLY HAS 1% OF
THE TERRITORY IT ONCE HELD, BUT
THERE WAS LITTLE CLARITY ON THE
TIME LINE FOR DETAILS OF THE
WITHDRAWAL.
AND WHILE THE HOUSE REFERRED
CERTAIN QUESTIONS TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE, THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE REFERRED
CERTAIN QUESTIONS TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Ian: LET'S COME BACK TO
TRUMP'S DECLARATION OF VICTORY
OVER ISIS.
A RECENT U.S. REPORT SAYS THERE
ARE STILL AS MANY AS 14,000 ISIS
MILITANTS IN SYRIA.
ITS LAST MAJOR STRONGHOLD ON THE
EASTERN BANK OF THE EUPHRATES
RIVER.
THEY CONTROL TERRAIN WEST OF THE
RIVER.
UNTIL NOW THE POLICY HAS BEEN TO
KEEP THE TROOPS IN PLACE UNTIL
THE GROUP WAS ERADICATED.
>> Rosemary: THIS MARKS THREE
YEARS SINCE THE FIRST GOVERNMENT
PLANES ARRIVED IN CANADA
CARRYING SYRIAN REFUGEES, MAKING
GOOD ON THE GOVERNMENT PROMISE
TO RESETTLE 25,000 PEOPLE WHOSE
LIVES WERE TORN APART BY THAT
CIVIL WAR.
SUSAN ORMISTON HAS BEEN
FOLLOWING THE TONBARI FAMILY
SINCE BEFORE THEY LEFT THE
MIDDLE EAST.
THEY HAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO
GRANDPARENTS LEFT BEHIND, NOW
SHE CATCHES UP WITH TONBARIs AS
THEY PREPARE FOR A REUNION.
>> SHE CAN HARDLY BELIEVE SHE'S
BEEN IN CANADA THREE YEARS
ALREADY, NOW WITH A WHOLE LOT OF
HOPE AND PRAYERS, SHE IS BACK IN
THE WINDSOR AIRPORT WITH HER
KIDS, WAITING FOR THEIR SYRIAN
GRANDPARENTS.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM
COMING TODAY?
>> Reporter: WE FIRST MET THE
FAMILY THREE YEARS AGO IN
LEBANON.
THEY'D FLED THEIR HOME IN SYRIA.
THE NIGHT THEY MET, THEY WERE
ABOUT TO LEAVE EVERYTHING THEY
KNEW TO COME TO CANADA AS
REFUGEES.
THAT NIGHT WAS THE LAST SUPPER
WITH THE ELDER TONBARIS WHO
WOULD STAY BEHIND.
PARTING WAS PAINFUL.
WRENCHING AIDA AWAY FROM SON,
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND
GRANDCHILDREN, NOT KNOWING WHEN
SHE'D EVER SEE THEM AGAIN.
THREE YEARS LATER, THE THREE
ELDEST CHILDREN ARE IN SCHOOL IN
WINDSOR, BECOMING FLUENT IN
FRENCH, LEARNING ENGLISH, AND
HANGING ONTO THEIR ARABIC.
>> Reporter: LANGUAGE, THOUGH,
HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE FOR THEIR
PARENTS STILL ONLY AT LEVEL ONE
IN ENGLISH.
>> WHAT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT
THING FOR YOU TO GET USED TO
LIVING IN CANADA?
>> Reporter: WINDSOR HAS TAKEN
IN NEARLY 2400 SYRIANS SINCE
NOVEMBER 2015.
ADDING TO AN ALREADY VIBRANT
ARABIC COMMUNITY.
BUT EVEN WITH GOVERNMENT HELP,
SETTLEMENT IS A LONG PROCESS AND
SOME HAVE ADAPTED MORE QUICKLY
THAN OTHERS SAYS HUGO VEGA.
WE KNOW THAT IT CAN TAKE A LONG
TIME, 5-10 YEARS FOR SOMEONE TO
REALLY ESTABLISH THEMSELVES
PROFESSIONALLY AND THE DIFFERENT
PARTS OF THEIR LIFE.
I THINK THEY'RE MIDWAY IN THE
PROCESS.
I THINK WE'RE SEEING SUCCESSFUL
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE
ESTABLISHED, THAT ARE
INDEPENDENT AND OTHERS THAT
AREN'T.
>> Reporter: THE TONBARIS WERE
GOVERNMENT SPONSORED FOR THE
FIRST YEAR AND THEN WHEN A
WINDSOR GROUP GOT INVOLVED, THEY
DECIDED TO PRIVATELY SPONSOR THE
SENIOR TONBARIS AND ORPHANED
NEPHEW.
THIS LAWYER PUSHED TO MAKE IT
HAPPEN.
>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
THE GOVERNMENT, BEFORE THEY CAN
SAY THEY DID THE JOB, THEY PUT
SOMETHING IN PLACE FOR FAMILY
REUNIFICATION.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE PARENTS
OR THE GRANDPARENTS WHO MIGHT
HAVE COME UNDER EXISTING
FAMILIES, IN SOME CASES WE'VE
LEFT THE MORE VULNERABLE BEHIND.
SO EVEN IF WE DO NOTHING ELSE,
THAT'S REALLY A MORAL OBLIGATION
ON US TO TAKE CARE OF.
>> Reporter: ON ARRIVAL DAY, THE
TRIP FROM LEBANON HAS TAKEN TWO
DAYS.
THE FLIGHT TWICE DELAYED.
THEN FINALLY AFTER A THREE-YEAR
WAIT, MOHAMMAD TONBARI AND AIDA
EMERGE.
GREETING THEIR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW,
MEETING THEIR GRANDCHILDREN, WHO
BARELY REMEMBER THEM.
IT'S YOUR GRANDFATHER, SHE SAYS.
KEENAN AGE 9 WAS RAISED BY THE
GRANDPARENTS AND WILL JOIN HIS
COUSINS.
THE SPONSORSHIP IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF SETTLING
IN.
ZEINAB IS GRATEFUL.
SO ARE THE GRANDPARENTS.
>> MOHAMMED AT 72 IS
>> ZEINAB SETTING OUT A REUNION
FEAST.
THEY CELEBRATE A PEACEFUL
FUTURE.
SO DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST
SUPPER THEY SHARED TOGETHER.
>> Adrienne: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
SHORT BREAK, BUT WHEN WE COME
BACK, DISTURBING DETAILS ABOUT
THE ALLEGED EXECUTIONER OF TWO
CANADIANS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
>> THERE HAS NEVER BEEN THAT
LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY THAT THE
CANADIANS AND VICTIMS'S FAMILIES
EXPECT.
>> Ian: A STORY TOMORROW NIGHT.
SASA PETRICIC TAKES US TO
BEJING.
A CITY SNARLED IN TRAFFIC AND
CHOKED BY SMOG.
WE'LL LOOK AT WHY PART OF THE
SOLUTION COULD COME ON TWO
WHEELS.
>> IT'S A TWIST ON SHARED
BICYCLES, THAT HAS TAKEN THIS
COUNTRY BY STORM.
23 MILLION OF THEM ARE OUT THERE
ACROSS CHINA.
THEY'RE STARTING TO CHANGE
TRAFFIC PATTERNS.
RIDERS SAY IT'S CHANGING MY
LIFE.
AND I HOPE IT WILL CHANGE THE
ENVIRONMENT.
THE BIKES GO OUT EVERY MORNING,
TO BE PICKED UP AND DROPPED OFF
BY RIDERS PRETTY MUCH
EVERYWHERE.
INSTEAD OF DOCKS, EACH BICYCLE
IS CONNECTED, TRACKED AND LOCKED
BY CELL SIGNAL.
RIDERS USE THEIR SMART PHONES TO
SCAN THE BAR CODE.
AND THE SIGNAL DOES THE REST.
>> WE HAVE A VERY FIRM POLICY OF
NOT PAYING RANSOM TO TERRORIST
ORGANIZATIONS.
>> THE PRIME MINISTER EARLIER
TODAY RESPONDING TO A QUESTION
ABOUT CANADA'S RANSOM POLICY.
THIS WAS AFTER REPORTS THAT A
MILITANT BELIEVED TO HAVE KILLED
TWO CANADIANS IN THE PHILIPPINES
IS STILL ON THE LOOSE AND MORE
THAN HAPPY TO SHOW HIMSELF OFF
ON Facebook.
JUSTICE FOR FAMILIES REMAINS
ELUSIVE.
THE MILITARY HAS HUNTED DOWN
SOME INVOLVED, BUT NOT THE
ALLEGED KILLER WHO BEHEADED THE
MEN.
NOW CANADIAN INTELLIGENCE
ANALYST MAY HAVE DISCOVERED AN
ALARMING TRUTH, ONE THE
PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE
HAPPY ABOUT.
THE BOASTFUL THUGS OF ABU
SAYYAF, THE ONES WHO KIDNAPPED
AND KILLED JOHN RIDSDEL AND
ROBERT HALL, HAVE NEVER BEEN
ABLE TO RESTRAIN THEMSELVES FROM
TAKING PICTURE.
SOME STILL ON THE RUN FROM THE
PHILIPPINE MILITARY, CLEARLY ACT
WITH IMPUNITY, THIS MAN HAS.
HE IS KNOWN BY SEVERAL NAMES,
INCLUDING BEHN TATUH, HE WAS THE
EXECUTIONER.
>> HE IS TAKING A PICTURE OF
HIMSELF IN THE JUNGLE IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
AND THE ANGLE OF THE PHOTO, THE
ANGLE OF HIS FACE, IT MATCHED
PERFECTLY TO ONE OF THE
EXECUTION VIDEOS.
>> QUIETLY FOR TWO YEARS, AN
INTELLIGENCE ANALYST ACTING
INDEPENDENTLY HAS BEEN TRACKING
THE ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN SOCIAL
MEDIA ACCOUNTS OF BEHN TATUH,
WHO IS MAKING IT KNOWN HE'S WITH
ISIS.
JEFF WIRE SAYS HE SPOTTED
SOMETHING STARTLING.
THIS, A PICTURE OF BEHN TATUH IN
A POLICE UNIFORM.
HE'S POSTED IT A FEW TIMES.
MOST RECENTLY WITH THE NEVER
SURRENDER.
>> I THINK HE'S A COP.
THAT HAS A WHOLE OTHER DIMENSION
TO THE INVESTIGATION AND WHY
HE'S BEEN ABLE TO EVADE THE
NATIONAL POLICE AND MILITARY FOR
YEARS.
>> Reporter: IN OTHER WORDS, THE
UNIFORM OF THE POLICE UNITS THAT
HUNT ABU SAYYAF.
STOLEN UNIFORMS, OR UNIFORMS
SOLD ON THE BLACK MARKET HAVE
BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE
PHILIPPINES, BUT WIRE SAYS HE
SEES OTHER INDICATIONS BEHN
TATUH MAY HAVE BEEN A REAL
MEMBER OF THE FORCE.
LOOK AT HIS NAME ON THE
AMMUNITION.
>> IT VERIFIES ALSO HIS
IDENTITY.
HE LABELLED THE GRENADES BECAUSE
HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM.
>> Reporter: HE'S CURIOUS ABOUT
AN IMAGE BEHIND BEHN TATUH,
FLEET MILITARY KEYS.
CBC NEWS WENT THROUGH BEHN
TATUH'S Facebook CAGE AND FOUND
CONNECTIONS, FRIENDS WHO ARE
ALSO POLICE OFFICERS.
THIS DOESN'T NECESSARILY PROVE
ANYTHING, BUT THE IMPLICATION IS
DAMNING.
IT SUGGESTS THAT ONE OF THE MOST
WANTED WAS TRAINED IN A
COUNTERINSURGENCY UNIT.
WAS HE BOTH COP AND ABU SAYYAF
TERRORIST AT THE SAME TIME?
NEITHER THE PHILIPPINE POLICE
NOR MILITARY HAVE ANSWERED OUR
QUESTIONS, BUT IT WOULD BE WRONG
TO SUGGEST THEY WEREN'T TRYING
TO FIND HIM.
JUST A YEAR AFTER HALL AND JOHN
RIDSDEL WERE KILLED, WE SAT DOWN
WITH THE UNIT THAT TRIED TO
RESCUE HIM.
>> THE MAN WHO BEHEAD THE TWO
CANADIANS, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
>> MANY INVOLVED IN THE
BEHEADINGS ALREADY DIED.
I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT.
BUT THE LEADERS, WE'RE TRYING TO
GET THEM ALSO.
BECAUSE LEADERS ARE MOSTLY THE
HARDEST PART TO CATCH BECAUSE
THEY HAVE MANY DEFENCES.
>> Reporter: AND DEADLY.
THE MILITARY GAVE US THESE
PHOTOS IT CLAIMED ARE SOME OF
THE CASUALTIES OF ALL THOSE
EFFORTS.
>> HOW MANY SOLDIERS DID YOU
LOSE TRYING TO RESCUE THE
CANADIANS?
>> WHAT I CAN SAY, I'LL GIVE YOU
A RANGE.
THAT'S FROM 30 TO 35.
THAT RANGE.
FROM DIFFERENT KIND OF
OPERATIONS.
THEY LOST THEIR LIVES TRYING TO
RESCUE THE VICTIMS.
>> Reporter: ALWAYS ABU SAYYAF
WERE ONE STEP AHEAD.
THEY'VE LEARNED TO NAVIGATE AND
OWN THE JUNGLES AS WELL AS THE
LOCAL POPULATIONS.
BUT IS IT POSSIBLE BEHN TATUH
HAD THE RIGHT TRAINING TO KEEP
SOLDIERS AT BAY?
THE STORIES ABOUT THE ATTEMPTED
RESCUES ARE VERIFIED BY ONE OF
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO REALLY KNOWS
WHAT HAPPENED.
TESS FLOR, ROBERT HALL'S
GIRLFRIEND.
>> SOMETIMES I REGRET BECAUSE I
WAS THINKING THAT I DID MY BEST
BECAUSE I DID LOTS OF THINGS TO
HELP ROBERT, TO SAVE ROBERT'S
LIFE.
BUT IT'S NOT WORKING.
>> Reporter: SHE TOLD US SHE
REMEMBERS HEARING THE BULLETS
FLYING.
SHE AND HALL COULD HEAR THE
SOLDIERS WERE DESPERATE TO BE
SAVED.
>> SOMETIMES YOU GET SCARED OF
COURSE AND SOMETIMES AFTER THAT
FIGHT, WE SAID, IT'S
FRUSTRATING, BECAUSE WE ARE
STILL HERE.
>> Reporter: TESS WOULD TRY TO
NEGOTIATE WITH THE KIDNAPPERS AS
THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD SPEAK
WITH THEM.
SHE EVEN TRIED TALKING TO BEHN
TATUH'S WIFE.
>> I TALKED TO THE WIFE OF THE
GUY WHO DID THE BEHEADING.
I TALKED TO HER, CAN YOU PLEASE
TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND?
BECAUSE OF COURSE HE IS OUR
LEADER.
CAN YOU PLEASE TALK TO HIM, THAT
THIS MONEY THEY WERE ASKING,
IT'S RIDICULOUS.
SHE TOLD ME, OKAY, OKAY.
I WILL TALK TO HIM.
I WILL TALK TO HIM.
BUT I DIDN'T TRUST THEM.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: CANADA DOES NOT AND
WILL NOT PAY RANSOM TO
TERRORISTS.
>> Reporter: CANADA'S POSITION
WAS CLEAR AND THE HOSTAGES
UNDERSTOOD THAT, BUT STILL HOPED
THEIR GOVERNMENT WOULD SOMEHOW
HELP SAVE THEM.
AFTER THEY WERE KILLED, ANOTHER
COUNTRY EVENTUALLY INTERVENED
AND TESS AND A NORWEGIAN HOSTAGE
WERE RELEASED, A RANSOM PAID.
IT WAS SEEING HER TELL THE TALE
THAT STARTED JEFF WIRE ON THE
PACT OF LOOKING FOR MORE
INFORMATION, JUST TRYING TO
HELP.
>> I THINK THE FAMILIES FEEL
LIKE THEY'VE BEEN IGNORED FROM
THE START.
IN THE INVESTIGATION, BY THEIR
GOVERNMENT, AND TO A CERTAIN
EXTENT BY CANADIANS.
WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT IS NOT
THE CASE, THAT CANADIANS DO
CARE.
>> Reporter: BUT TO DIG AROUND
LIKE THIS IS NOT COMFORTABLE FOR
ANYONE.
ONE PERSON CLOSE TO THE FAMILY
CALLED THE REPORT DAMNING,
ANOTHER ANGRY THAT THE RESEARCH
IS COMING OUT AT TIME THAT IS
HARD ENOUGH AS IT IS.
IT'S NOT KNOWN WHAT WILL COME OF
THIS.
BEHN TATUH IS ON THE LOOSE AND
GETTING BOLDER.
HIS HISTORY BECOMING CLEARER.
WIRE BELIEVES HE CAN TRACE HIM
TO THE KIDNAPPING OF A GERMAN
COUPLE YEARS BEFORE THE
CANADIANS WERE TAKEN.
>> HE IS RIGHT THERE.
YOU CAN TELL BY HIS BROW.
>> THE BIGGEST THING HAS BEEN
TRANSPARENCY.
EVEN IN THE DISCLOSURES BY THE
PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT TO OUR OWN
GOVERNMENT, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN
THAT LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY THAT
I THINK BOTH CANADIANS EXPECT
AND THE VICTIMS' FAMILIES
EXPECT.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT JUST
TRANSPARENCY.
CANADIANS ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO
HOPE FOR ANSWERS TOO.
ARGUABLY, THEY DON'T HAVE
EITHER.
NEITHER THE RCMP NOR THE
MINISTRY OF GLOBAL AFFAIRS WOULD
OFFER UPDATES ON THE
INVESTIGATION.
THEY SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE
REPORT WE JUST REFERRED TO, BUT
THEY'RE JUST NOT TALKING ABOUT
IT.
>> Ian: THAT WAS INTERESTING.
UP NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL", OUR
"MOMENT OF THE DAY", BANKSY
STRIKES AGAIN.
>> A FUP PEOPLE STARTING TO POST
>> Ian: IT'S THIS STREET ART
THAT HAS EVERYONE TALKING IN A
SMALL TOWN IN WALES.
IT APPEARED OVERNIGHT ON TWO
WALLS OF A GARAGE AND THAT'S
WHEN THE SPECULATION ABOUT
BANKSY BEGAN
THE POSSIBILITY OF CATCHING THE
ELUSIVE STREET ARTIST'S LATEST
WORK WAS ENOUGH FOR ONE MONDAY.
JOHN DOUGHERTY JUMPED OUT OF BED
AND WHAT HE SAW IS OUR "MOMENT."
>> NEXT TO THE LOCATION AND
BASICALLY, HE WAS THE CUSTODIAN
OF THE AREA, MAKING SURE THAT NO
HARM COME TO IT.
HE WAS WITHOUT DOUBT IT WAS A
BANKSY, WHICH CONVINCED ME AT
THE TIME.
AS THE DAY'S GONE ON, IT WAS
CONFIRMED IT'S A BANKSY, THE
IMAGE PORTRAYED.
AND THE MESSAGE, I DON'T THINK
IS THAT GOOD.
YOU HAVE THE YOUNG CHILD WITH
WHAT HE THINKS IS SNOW.
AND IT'S SYMBOLIC OF THE
POLLUTION, AND IT WILL NEED TO
BE ADDRESSED.
NEVERTHELESS, IT HAS THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY TALKING ABOUT HIM.
IT'S MIND BLOWING.
>> Adrienne: OKAY.
SO HE'S RIGHT, IT SEEMS, ABOUT
THE INSPIRATION THERE.
BACK IN JULY, THERE WAS BLACK
ASH COVERING HOUSES WITH THE
STEEL MILL.
BANKSY HAS HIS FINGER ON THE
PULSE OF THAT ONE.
>> Ian: HE CREATES ART FOR
PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE AND THOSE
OF US THAT DON'T HAVE BEEN
SCRAMBLING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE
THIS COMMUNITY IS AND THINKING
ABOUT THAT POLLUTION ISSUE THAT
YOU MENTIONED.
>> Rosemary: AND IT'S
INTERESTING THE WAY HE CHOOSES
THESE THINGS.
IT'S JUST SOME GUY'S GARAGE AND
NOW HAS BANKSY ON IT.
THEY WILL HAVE TO PUT UP
BARRICADES.
EVERYBODY WILL COME VISIT IT.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR
DECEMBER 19.
GOOD NIGHT.
>> Adrienne: GOOD NIGHT.
>> Ian: GOOD NIGHT.
