MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY FOR A FATHER
WHO IS
ACCUSED OF ABDUCTING HIS TWO
YOUNG DAUGHTER WHOSE BODIES WERE
FOUND YESTERDAY.
HEARTBREAK NOW LAYERED ON TOP OF
CONCERN WHERE MARTIN CARPENTIER
IS NOW.
POLICE AND SOLDIERS ARE
SEARCHING A WOODED AREA NEAR
WHERE HIS CRASHED VEHICLE WAS
FOUND ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
IT IS JUST SOUTHWEST OF QUÉBEC
CITY NEAR THE COMMUNITY OF
SAINT-APOLLINAIRE.
MEANWHILE, AS VERITY STEVENSON
TELLS US, THOSE WHO KNEW THE
GIRLS ARE GRIEVING.
(*)
>> Reporter: THIS IS HOW
PEOPLE IN LEVIS ARE CELEBRATING
THE LIVES OF 6-YEAR-OLD ROMY AND
11-YEAR-OLD NORAH CARPENTIER.
FAMILIES STOP BY, CHILDREN LEAVE
NOTES.
SOME OF THEM KNEW THE SISTERS.
>> [Speaking French]
>> Reporter: "I WROTE THAT I
LOVE THEM," SHE SAYS.
ONE WOMAN IS A FRIEND OF THE
GIRLS' MOTHER WHO SHE SAYS IS
STILL STRUGGLING TO COME TO
TERMS WITH WHAT HAPPENED.
THE GIRLS' BODIES WERE FOUND
YESTERDAY, THREE DAYS AFTER
POLICE SAY THAT THEY WERE
ABDUCTED BY THEIR FATHER,
MARTIN CARPENTIER.
THEY WERE SEEN AT A CONVENIENCE
STORE SHORTLY BEFORE HIS CAR WAS
FOUND CRASHED AND ABANDONED NOT
FAR AWAY.
ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON,
POLICE ISSUED AN AMBER ALERT AND
THEY'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR HIM
EVER SINCE.
>> WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
KIND OF HEALTH CONDITION HE IS.
HE COULD BE HARMED.
>> Reporter: POLICE ARE
FOCUSING THEIR SEARCH TO THIS
SECTION OF THE WOODS NEAR
SAINT-APOLLINAIRE.
A RESIDENT NEAR HERE REPORTED
SEEING CARPENTIER YESTERDAY.
POLICE SAY THEY FOUND OBJECTS
THEY BELIEVE THAT COULD HELP
THEM TO FIND HIM.
BUT THEY'RE RESTRICTING
ACCESS TO THE AREA BECAUSE OF
WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
>> WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY
NIGHT, THAT SOME PEOPLE WANTED
TO HELP, SO THEY JUST HEARD A
NOISE IN THE WOODS.
AND, IN FACT, IT WAS JUST A
BRANCH THAT JUST BROKE UP,
THAT'S IT.
BUT PEOPLE JUST RAN INTO THE
WOODS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE A
HUNDRED PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: POLICE ARE
SEARCHING ON FOOT, A.T.V.s AND
WITH A HELICOPTER.
THE FOREST IS DENSE, THE WEATHER
HOT AND WET.
>> A DIFFERENT SITUATION IN THE
WEATHER, SO WE CAN SAY THAT IF
IT'S HARD FOR US, IT'S HARD FOR
HIM TOO.
>> Reporter: CARPENTIER IS A
SCOUT LEADER, AND NORAH A SCOUT,
AND ROMY ON THE
WAY TO BECOMING A BEAVER SCOUT.
AUTOPSIES WILL BE PERFORMED ON
THEIR BODIES SOON.
>> THOSE INFORMATION ARE ALREADY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO
TELL US THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE
DEATHS FOR BOTH GIRLS.
>> Reporter: BACK AT THE
GROWING MEMORIAL, GRIEF AS A
COMMUNITY AND THOSE WHO KNEW THE
GIRLS TRY TO FIND A WAY FORWARD.
VERITY STEVENSON, CBC NEWS,
SAINT-APOLLINAIRE.
>> Ian: THERE WERE MORE THAN 240
NEW CASES OF COVID-19 REPORTED
ACROSS CANADA TODAY.
AND WITHIN THAT NATIONAL NUMBER
ARE SEVERAL REGIONAL HOTSPOTS.
HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND
ONTARIO, WHICH REMAINS THE
LARGEST SOURCE OF CANADA'S NEW
CASES, HAS ACTUALLY SEEN THE
PACE OF KNOWN INFECTIONS SLOW,
BUT QUÉBEC IS SEEING AN UPTICK
IN CASES.
SOME LINKED TO BARS IN THE
MONTRÉAL AREA.
AND THERE'S ALSO A BUMP IN B.C.
AFTER REPORTS OF A CLUSTER IN
KELOWNA.
BRIAR STEWART SHOWS US HOW THOSE
PROVINCES ARE RACING TO TRACE
AND CONTAIN CASES BEFORE THOSE
CLUSTERS BECOME OUTBREAKS OR
WORSE.
>> Reporter: EVEN DURING A
GLOBAL PANDEMIC, MONTRÉAL HAS A
VIBRANT NIGHT LIFE.
BUT HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE URGING
ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO A BAR
SINCE JULY 1st TO GET TESTED.
>> [Speaking French]
>> Reporter: I THINK THAT IT'S
A GOOD IDEA, SAYS THIS WOMAN,
AFTER PUBLIC HEALTH IDENTIFIED
AT LEAST EIGHT CASES CONNECTED
TO FIVE DIFFERENT BARS.
AND THERE ARE WORRIES THE SPREAD
COULD BE MUCH WIDER.
>> FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE ONES THAT
WE'VE INVESTIGATED, THEY USE
UBER TO GET BETWEEN BARS.
SO THERE ARE UBER DRIVERS WHO
GET EXPOSED.
THEY LIVE IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS
OR IN PLACES WHERE THERE ARE
OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CLOSE
CONTACT.
>> Reporter: MONTRÉAL PUBLIC
HEALTH SAYS THAT THERE'S BEEN AN
INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR TESTING.
THEY'RE NOW ASKING BARS TO
COLLECT THE NAMES OF ALL OF
THEIR PATRONS TO HELP WITH
CONTACT TRACING, BUT THAT IS
VOLUNTARY.
IN KELOWNA, B.C., PUBLIC HEALTH
HAS TAKEN A DIFFERENT APPROACH.
AFTER EIGHT TESTED POSITIVE IN
THE AREA, THEY'VE ASKED PEOPLE
TO MONITOR FOR SYMPTOMS AND
NAMED A RESORT AND A LODGE WHICH
CASES HAVE BEEN CONNECTED TO.
>> WE RELEASED THE NAMES OF TWO
SPECIFIC LOCATIONS BECAUSE THERE
WERE GATHERINGS WHERE THERE WERE 
A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THERE.
AND WE'RE UNLIKELY TO TRACK
ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE
THERE.
>> Reporter: THE OWNER OF THE
LODGE SAYS THAT HE DID HOST A
GROUP OF GOLFERS FROM ALBERTA,
BUT ISN'T SURE WHO TESTED
POSITIVE.
THE LODGE IS NOW BEING
THOROUGHLY CLEANED.
>> IT'S A TOUGH ONE WHEN YOU SEE
TWO PLACE IT'S -- WHAT ABOUT ALL
OF THE
RESTAURANTS AND THE BARS AND
EVERYTHING, THE PEOPLE THAT WENT
TO THEM.
>> Reporter: INFECTIOUS
DISEASES EXPERTS SAY THAT HEALTH
AUTHORITIES HAVE TO TRY TO
BALANCE PRIVACY WITH PUBLIC
HEALTH.
>> IT WOULD BE GOOD TO CONTINUE
WITH EITHER TARGETED TESTING IF
THERE'S ANY REASON TO THINK THAT
THERE'S A RISK, OR ONGOING SORT
OF SURVEILLANCE SO THAT WE CAN
REACT QUICKLY.
>> Reporter: AS MORE PEOPLE
START TO SOCIALIZE, THOSE NEW
CASES WILL COME.
AND TRACKING THEM WILL BE THE
FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Ian: TOMORROW ONTARIO IS
EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE ITS MOVE TO
WHAT IS CALLED STAGE THREE.
WHICH WILL INVOLVE REOPENING
MOST BUSINESSES AND GRADUALLY
LIFTING RESTRICTIONS.
THIS AFTER A GATHERING ON LAKE
ERIE BECAME AN EXAMPLE OF AT
LEAST HOW PEOPLE ARE BALANCING
RECREATION WITH RISK.
THE ANNUAL POTTAHAWK BOAT PARTY
HAS
SOMETIMES ATTRACTED 10,000
PEOPLE, INCLUDING SOME PEOPLE
FROM THE UNITED STATES.
WELL, TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN,
DESPITE COVID CONCERNS, AND
TALIA RICCI WAS THERE.
(*)
>> Reporter: THE SO-CALLED
POTTAHAWK PARTY EARNS ITS NAME
FROM DAY DRINKING AND DANCING.
>> IT'S A GREAT TIME.
WE COME WITH BUDDIES EVERY YEAR.
>> Reporter: THIS YEAR THE
BOAT PARTY ON LAKE ERIE WENT
AHEAD DESPITE COVID-19.
BUT IT DID LOOK A LITTLE
DIFFERENT.
PARTY-GOERS SAID THEY WERE BEING
MORE CAREFUL.
>> WE'RE KEEPING IT UNDER TENTS.
WE'RE OKAY WITH OR GROUP.
>> Reporter: OTHERS OPTED TO
GO IT ALONE
TO MAKE DISTANCING EASIER.
>> YOU CAN STAY AWAY FROM EACH
OTHER AND EVERYBODY ELSE.
>> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT
I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE PART IN
ANY PARTYING.
IT'S MORE OF A VIEWING TRIP,
JUST BECAUSE OF COVID.
>> Reporter: POLICE SAY THERE
WERE 700 BOATS AND ATTENDANCE
WAS DOWN FROM LAST YEAR, BUT THE
MARINA WAS PREPARED.
>> RIGHT OFF THE BAT ALL OF OUR
CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE IN
THE PAST WOULD NOTICE THAT WE
HAVE A LOT MORE STAFF.
>> Reporter: O.P.P. WILL BE
OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY'S BOATS ARE ANCHORED
TWO METRES APART AND EVERYONE IS 
STAYING WITHIN THEIR 10-PERSON
SOCIAL BUBBLE ON THE BOAT.
THEY'LL REMIND PEOPLE TO NOT
PICK UP STRANGERS WHICH HAS BEEN
AN ISSUE IN THE PAST AS WELL.
>> AS YOU HEAD OUT INTO THE
WATER YOU CAN BE PREPARED TO BE
STOPPED BY O.P.P.
>> Reporter: CONSTABLE ED
SANCHU SAYS THAT OFFICERS OFTEN
DEAL WITH
INSTANCES WITH ALCOHOL AT THE
BOAT PARTY.
AND IT ALSO ATTRACTS CROWDS FROM
ACROSS THE BORDER WHICH REMAINS
CLOSED TO NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT POLICE
CANNOT CANCEL.
WHAT WE NEED PEOPLE TO DO IS TO
POLICE THEMSELVES.
>> Reporter: THE MAIN CONCERN
FROM HEALTH EXPERTS IS THAT
PHYSICAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES
WOULD BE IGNORED.
>> OBVIOUSLY, THE OUTDOOR
ENVIRONMENTS ARE
LOWER RISK THAN INDOOR
ENVIRONMENTS BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT THERE'S ZERO PERCENT RISK.
>> IT'S A CONCERN TO SEE THIS
MANY RESIDENTS IN THIS LITTLE
TOWN.
>> Reporter: THIS FATHER WENT
ON A FISHING TRIP AWAY FROM THE
ACTION AND THE RISK OF
INFECTION.
>> IT'S GOOD TO GET OUTSIDE OF
THE HOUSE, KEEP EVERYBODY FROM
GOING INSANE.
>> Reporter: THE HOPE IS THAT
THIS WEEKEND'S FUN DOESN'T LEAD
TO MORE CASES.
TALIA RICCI, CBC NEWS, TURKEY
POINT, ONTARIO.
>> Ian: SOUTH OF THE BORDER
COVID-19 CASES CONTINUE TO
SURGE.
FLORIDA IS LEADING THE WAY
TONIGHT, SHATTERING THE RECORD
FOR NEW CASES.
TODAY THE STATE ANNOUNCED MORE
THAN 15,000 NEW POSITIVE TEST
TODAY THE STATE ANNOUNCED MORE
THAN 15,000 NEW POSITIVE TEST
RESULTS AND FLORIDA SET ANOTHER
GRIM RECORD THIS WEEK WITH AN
AVERAGE OF 73 DEATHS A DAY.
THAT'S COMPARED TO 30 PER DAY
JUST THREE WEEKS AGO.
STILL AS KATIE SIMPSON SHOWS US,
NONE OF THAT STOPPED ONE OF THE
STATE'S SIGNATURE TOURIST
ATTRACTIONS FROM REOPENING THIS
WEEKEND.
>> GOOD MORNING!
>> Reporter: WALT DISNEYWORLD
IS TRYING TO PITCH ITSELF, NOT
ONLY AS THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON
EARTH, BUT ONE OF THE SAFEST.
TRYING TO WIN OVER ANXIOUS
CUSTOMERS, DISNEY RELEASED THIS
VIDEO SHOWING CHEERFUL EMPLOYEES
WEARING MASKS AND GUESTS KEEPING
THEIR DISTANCE AND GETTING
TEMPERATURE CHECKS.
>> AS LONG AS EVERYONE IS BEING
SAFE AND FOLLOWING THE RULES,
THERE'S NO REASON TO REALLY
WORRY ABOUT IT SO MUCH.
>> Reporter: DESPITE THE SURGE
OF COVID CASES IN FLORIDA, A
STATE WHERE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS ARE
BEING STRAINED WITH MORE THAN
80% OF I.C.U. BEDS BEING USED
RIGHT NOW, THE THEME PARK'S
REOPENING IS BEING ENDORSED BY
THE C.E.O. OF THE STATE'S
LARGEST HOSPITAL CHAIN.
>> I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO GO TO
DISNEY AS A HEALTH CARE C.E.O.
BASED UPON THE FACT THAT THEY'RE
WORKING EXTREMELY HARD TO KEEP
PEOPLE SAFE.
>> Reporter: THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION WANTS STATES,
EVEN WITH HOTSPOTS TO STAY OPEN
AND IT IS ENCOURAGING MORE
PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
>> EVERYBODY, IF YOU'RE OUT IN
PUBLIC, WE HAVE TO HAVE ABOUT
95% MASK WEARING OR FACE
COVERING.
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT
FINALLY TOOK THE ADVICE OF HIS
OWN CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE AND
WORE A MASK IN PUBLIC LAST
NIGHT.
BUT TENSIONS ON THAT TASK FORCE
ARE EMERGING.
>> I RESPECT DR. FAUCI A LOT BUT
DR. FAUCI IS NOT 100% RIGHT.
>> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE
IS TRYING TO DISCREDIT
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, GIVING
REPORTERS A LIST OF COMMENTS
THAT HE'S MADE IN THE PAST ABOUT
COVID THAT HAVE TURNED OUT NOT
TO BE TRUE.
FAUCI HAS APPARENTLY UPSET TRUMP
WITH HIS CRITICISM OF THE U.S.
RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC.
>> I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT
TO TELL YOU AND THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC THAT I'M VERY CONCERNED
BECAUSE IT COULD GET VERY BAD.
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT HAS
A HISTORY OF DISCREDITING HIS
PERCEIVED CRITICS IN THE HOPES
OF SWAYING PUBLIC OPINION.
HE'S DONE IT WITH THE MEDIA,
POLITICAL OPPONENTS, AND IS NOW
TARGETING A KEY MEMBER OF HIS
CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE.

TORONTO PLAYER'S TEST CAME BACK
INCONCLUSIVE.

COVID-19 SIDELINED SEVERAL
TORONTO BLUE JAYS AND STAFF.

NHL PLAYERS WILL BEGIN TRAINING
CAMP TOMORROW WITH GAMES
RESUMING IN AUGUST.
THE LEAGUE CONFIRMED FRIDAY WHAT
HAD BEEN WIDELY REPORTED FOR
DAYS,
THAT THOSE GAMES WILL ALL BE
PLAYED IN TORONTO AND EDMONTON.
WHERE AS RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN
TELLS
US, THERE'S BOTH EXCITEMENT AND
CONCERN.

SCORES!

BETTER SEASONS THAN THEY'VE HAD
IN A WHILE, UNTIL THE PANDEMIC
PUT THAT ON PAUSE IN MID-MARCH.
NOW THEIR HOME CITIES ARE
OFFICIALLY THE TWO HOMES OF
HOCKEY.
>> WE LIKE TO SEE HOCKEY.
>> WE'VE GOT THE FACILITY,
THAT'S FOR SURE.
>> Reporter: BUT DESPITE THE
EXCITEMENT, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY
AMONG RESIDENTS, OFFICIALS, EVEN
PLAYERS.
>> MANY OF OUR PLAYERS WERE TO
OPT OUT FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER WE'D BE FULLY
UNDERSTANDING.
>> Reporter: A HANDFUL OF NHL
PLAYERS ON DIFFERENT TEAMS HAVE
ALREADY DONE THAT.
CITING HEALTH AND SAFETY.
BUT FOR PLAYERS WHO ARE TAKING
PART, THE LEAGUE HAS OUTLINED
ITS COVID-19 BUBBLE PLANS.
PLAYERS AND THEIR ENTOURAGE WILL
GET COVID TESTS EVERY DAY.
NO VISITS TO EACH OTHER'S HOTEL
ROOMS.
HERE IN EDMONTON THEY WILL STAY
IN HOTELS CLOSE TO ROGERS PLACE.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING...
>> Reporter: RESTAURANTS LIKE
THIS ONE ARE HOPING THEY'LL BE
PART OF THE BUBBLE FOR SOME
MUCH-NEEDED BUSINESS.
>> YEAH, WE BELIEVE THAT WE'RE
FULLY PREPARED, NOT ONLY WITH
STAFF, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF
SPACE IN THIS RESTAURANT.
>> UP TO $60 MILLION OF ECONOMIC
ACTIVITY.
>> Reporter: THE ALBERTA
GOVERNMENT HOPES TO SEE A BOOST,
BUT THIS SPORTS ECONOMIST
EXPECTS MODEST REVENUES.
>> IT'S AN ECONOMIC BOOST IN
THAT IT'S BETTER THAN NOT
HOSTING AT ALL.
BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
SOMETHING THAT MAKES EVERYBODY
FORGET THE PANDEMIC.
>> Reporter: MONEY ASIDE, SOME
ARE CONCERNED THAT PLAYERS
CROSSING THE BORDER WILL ONLY BE
IN ISOLATION FOR A WEEK.
>> THE HIGH RATES OF TESTING
SHOULD ADD A LAYER OF PROTECTION
TO THAT.
IF I WAS STARTING FROM SCRATCH I
THINK THAT I MIGHT HAVE WORKED
IN THE 14-DAY QUARANTINE.
>> Reporter: WHILE PLAYERS
WON'T COMPETE IN THE BUILDING
BEHIND ME UNTIL AUGUST, THEY
WILL START TRAINING CAMP
TOMORROW.
THAT'S ALSO THEIR DEADLINE TO
ANNOUNCE WHETHER THEY'RE OPTING
OUT.

DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING WHAT THEY
SAY BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT
CREDIBLE.

CHALLENGED.
BUT HE SAYS THAT WON'T BE EASY
BECAUSE CANADA CUT TIES WITH
IRAN IN 2012.
SOMETHING THAT HE SAYS THAT

SIMPLY RELYING UPON OTHER
GOVERNMENTS TO DO THE LIFTING
FOR US AND I THINK THAT IS WHY
IT'S IMPORTANT TO INVESTIGATE.

>> Ian: IN RUSSIA TONIGHT HUGE
CROWDS OF PROTESTERS REMAINED ON
THE STREETS OF ONE CITY,
CONTINUING A THREE-DAY PROTEST
OVER THE ARREST OF A LOCAL
GOVERNOR.
OPPONENTS OF THE PUTIN
GOVERNMENT SAY THAT ARREST IS
PART OF A LARGER CRACKDOWN ON
DISSENT.
CHRIS BROWN SHOWS US WHY.
>>> [CHANTING]
>> Reporter: RUSSIA'S FAR
EASTERN CITY HAS RARELY SEEN
PROTESTS LIKE THIS WEEKEND,
ESPECIALLY SATURDAY WHERE TENS
OF THOUSANDS SHOUTED SLOGANS
SUCH AS "PUTIN RESIGN."
"WHAT'S GOING ON IN RUSSIA IS
COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS, WE HAVE
BECOME A TOTALITARIAN SOCIETY,"
SAID ONE MAN.
THE ANGER IS OVER THE ARREST OF
REGIONAL GOVERNOR SERGEI FURGAL,
WHO BEAT THE CANDIDATE IN THE
LAST ELECTION.
THE ALLEGED CRIMES ARE SERIOUS,
MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDERS 15
YEARS AGO.
BUT HIS SUPPORTERS BELIEVE THAT
HIS REAL TRANSGRESSION NOW IS
THAT HE CHALLENGED PRESIDENT
VLADIMIR PUTIN'S AUTHORITY.
AND CRITICS SEE A PATTERN.
DAYS BEFORE FORMER JOURNALIST
IVAN SOFANOF WAS CHARGED WITH
TREASON FOR SHARES STATE
SECRETS.
OUTSIDE THE PRISON HIS LAWYER
SAID THAT IT'S BOGUS.
>> I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT
FOR ALL JOURNALISTS IN RUSSIA TO 
BE ACCUSED BY THE STATE.
>> Reporter: WHEN HIS
COLLEAGUES PICKETED OUTSIDE OF
THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE SECRET
POLICE TO PROTEST, THEY TOO WERE
PROMPTLY ARRESTED.
THIS ALL COMES SHORTLY AFTER THE
KREMLIN PUSHED THROUGH A NEW
RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION CEMENTING
PUTIN'S ROLE AS PRESIDENT
PRACTICALLY FOR AS LONG AS HE
WANTS.
MOSCOW AUTHOR ANDRÉ SODOFOV HAS
WRITTEN EXTENSIVELY ABOUT
RUSSIA'S SECURITY SERVICES.
>> THE GOAL IS THAT HE WANTS TO
KEEP EVERYBODY OFF-BALANCE AND
CONSTANTLY THINKING WHAT CAN
HAPPEN NEXT.

HAVE OFTEN INTIMIDATED
JOURNALISTS PUBLICLY, LIKE WHEN
THEY STORMED THE OFFICE OF THE
INDEPENDENT TV REIGN AS THE

ACCELERATING.
THE W.H.O. SAYS THAT IT RECORDED
MORE THAN 230,000 CASES OVER THE
PAST 24 HOURS.
THE LARGEST DAILY INCREASE SO
FAR.
DRIVING THE NUMBERS, GROWING
EPIDEMICS IN THE U.S., BRAZIL,
SOUTH AFRICA AND INDIA.
UNDERSTANDING HOW COVID-19
SPREAD IN THE FIRST PLACE IS
CRITICAL.
AND THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGINISATION IS NOW
INVESTIGATING THOSE ORIGINS IN
CHINA.
AS VIK ADHOPIA EXPLAINS, BEFORE
PATIENT ZERO CAME THE ANIMAL
THAT STARTED IT ALL.
>> Reporter: PEOPLE IN THE
EPI-CENTRE OF THE WORST MODERN
PANDEMIC ARE STILL FINDING THEIR
FOOTING THREE MONTHS AFTER
EMERGING FROM A STRICT LOCKDOWN.
MARKETS ARE BACK OPEN, BUT
OFFICIALLY THERE'S A BAN ON
SELLING WILD MEAT LIKE AT THE
WET MARKET WHERE THE FIRST CASES
OF COVID-19 EMERGED.
A W.H.O. TEAM WILL NOW
INVESTIGATE HOW THE VIRUS JUMPED
FROM ANIMAL TO HUMAN.
>> WE KNOW THAT IT'S VERY, VERY
SIMILAR TO THE VIRUS IN THE FACT
THAT IT'S GOING THROUGH THIS.
AND THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT WE
ALL NEED ANSWERED.
>> Reporter: BATS HAVE
PASSED AROUND CORONAVIRUSES FOR
THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
BECAUSE THEY'RE MAMMALS, HUMANS
ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE DISEASES
THEY CARRY.
BUT IT'S NOT CONFIRMED WHICH BAT
SPECIES IT ORIGINATED WITH AND
WHERE, THOUGH THAT MAY BE OF
QUESTIONABLE VALUE TO
EPIDEMIOLOGISTS.
>> I'M NOT SURE THAT POINTING TO
THE EXACT REPLICATION IS VERY
HELPFUL UNLESS WE HAVE A CLEAR
IDEA OF SOME PARTICULAR
ANIMAL-MANKIND INTERACTION.
>> Reporter: THAT MAY BE
DIFFICULT TO PROVE.
IT TOOK A TEAM FROM WUHAN'S
VIROLOGY INSTITUTE A DECADE TO
NAIL DOWN THE EXACT POPULATION
OF HORSESHOE BAT THAT CARRIED
THE SARS VIRUS.
BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR HOW IT WAS
PASSED ON TO HUMANS AND OTHER
ANIMALS A THOUSAND KILOMETRES
AWAY.
STILL, KNOWING WHERE IT STARTED
COULD PREVENT FUTURE OUTBREAKS.
>> IF IT'S IN A BAT SPECIES THAT
IS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS CHINA OR
ASIA, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY
THAN IF IT'S A REALLY LOCALIZED
SPECIES.
SO MAYBE THERE COULD BE EFFORTS
SUCH AS RESTRICTING ACCESS WHERE
HIGH-RISK BATS ARE.
MAYBE IT'S THINKING ABOUT
ANIMALS THAT MAY BE IN CONTACT
WITH THOSE BATS IF THAT'S THE
SOURCE.
>> Reporter: AS HUMAN ACTIVITY
ENCROACHES MORE ON ANIMAL
HABITAT, THE CONTINUED EMERGENCE
OF NEW VIRUSES IS INEVITABLE.

TONIGHT CATHERINE BROWN
REMEMBERS HER FRIEND AND
COLLEAGUE EUGENE DAIS.
>>  I MY NAME IS CATHERINE
BROWN.
I LOST MY FRIEND TO COVID-19 ON
APRIL 27, 2020.
GENE WAS 88 YEARS OLD.
GENE WAS MANY THINGS TO MANY
PEOPLE, A HUSBAND, A PROUD
FATHER AND GRANDFATHER AND A
GREAT LOVER OF SCHNAUZERS.
TO ME HE WAS A MENTOR AND A
FRIEND.
GENE WAS A GRADUATE OF HARVARD
LAW AND OF BERKELEY WHERE HE
PLAYED VARSITY BALL AGAINST
BASKETBALL GREATS LIKE BILL
RUSSELL.
HE WENT ON TO TEACH AT JOHNS
HOPKINS UNIVERSITY UNTIL HE WAS
LURED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALGARY TO THE GREAT WHITE NORTH
TO ESTABLISH THE FIRST FACULTY
OF LAW.
HIS OFFICE WAS BESIDE MINE FOR
MORE THAN 20 YEARS.
IT WAS AN ASTONISHING MAZE OF
BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS AND
NEWSPAPERS.
HE WAS A RELENTLESS RESEARCHER
AND INNOVATIVE ON ALL RESEARCH
FRONTS.
MORE THAN 20 YEARS MY SENIOR, HE
WAS THE ONE TO INTRODUCE ME TO
GOOGLE.
PROFESSOR DAIS HAD A DEVOTED
BAND OF STUDENT FOLLOWERS.
KNOWN BY AFFECTIONATE NICKNAMES
LIKE MEAN TEAM OR
DR. DEATH, HE WAS NEITHER.
SOME OF HIS MOST SUCCESSFUL
STUDENTS WOULD COMMENT LATER
THAT HE WAS THE BEST PROFESSOR
THEY EVER HAD -- EVER.
HE HAD TAUGHT THEM THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING OF ALL AT LAW
SCHOOL -- HE HAD TAUGHT THEM HOW
TO THINK.
PROFESSOR DAIS WAS EQUALLY
DEVOTED TO HIS STUDENTS.
I CAN STILL PICTURE HIM AT
FACULTY FUNCTIONS, A BEER IN
HAND AND CONVERSATION WITH THEM.
AS A FELLOW ACADEMIC, I THINK
THAT GENE WOULD LIKE TO BE
REMEMBERED FOR HIS LOVE OF
BOOKS.
HE HAD MORE BOOKS THAN ANYONE
COULD IMAGINE.
HIS LOVE OF DEBATE, HE WAS
MERCILESS WITH HIS STUDENTS AND
HIS COLLEAGUES.
AND, OF COURSE, HIS LOVE FOR THE
GREAT PHILOSOPHER EMMANUEL HUNT.
IF PROFESSOR DAIS WAS TO TEACH
US ONE MORE LESSON BEFORE HE
PASSED, I THINK THAT LESSON
WOULD BE IF YOU'RE THROUGH WITH
LEARNING, YOU'RE THROUGH.
>> Ian: THANKS TO CATHERINE
BROWN FOR SHARING EUGENE'S STORY
WITH US, ONE OF THE LIVES LOST
TO COVID-19.
WE'VE GATHERED SOME OF THEIR
STORIES ONLINE AND YOU CAN FIND
THEM AT CBC.CA/REMEMBERED.
>>> A NOTE ON THIS STORY THAT WE
BROUGHT YOU LAST SUNDAY ABOUT
THE DEATH OF CANADIAN BROADWAY
STAR NICK
CORDERO.
THAT SHOW HAD IMAGES IN SHOWS
WHICH CORDERO DID NOT PERFORM,
WE REGRET THE ERROR.
CORDERO PERFORMED IN WAITRESS
AND "BULLETS OVER BROADWAY"
WHICH HE WAS NOMINATE FORWARD A
TONY AWARD.
HE DIED FROM COMPLICATIONS
RELATED TO COVID-19.
>>> UP NEXT A "FIFTH ESTATE"
INVESTIGATION INTO PETER NYGÅRD.
>> I DON'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF
TELLING MY STORY EXCEPT
FOR MAYBE A BIT OF PEACE INSIDE.
>> Ian: A FORMER EMPLOYEE SAYS
THAT THE DESIGNER RAPED HER 40
YEARS AGO.
HER STORY ONLY BEING FULLY
REPORTED NOW.
BUT IT'S NOT THE FIRST
>> Ian: A WOMAN WHO ONCE WORKED
FOR PETER NYGÅRD IS ACCUSING THE
CANADIAN FASHION DESIGNER OF
RAPING HER.
SHE SAYS THAT IT HAPPENED 40
YEARS AGO, BUT HER STORY IS ONLY
BEING FULLY TOLD NOW BECAUSE AT
THE TIME WINNIPEG'S BUSINESS
ELITE PUSHED TO KEEP IT QUIET.
SO TONIGHT SHE'S SPEAKING OUT
AGAIN TO HAVE HER STORY HEARD,
THIS TIME TO "THE FIFTH
ESTATE'S" BOB McKEOWN.
>> 10 WOMEN HAVE LAUNCHED A
CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST
CLOTHING MANUFACTURER PETER
NYGÅRD.
>> UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR
RAPE --
>> A NUMBER OF WOMEN CLAIMED
THEY WERE VICTIMS OF WHAT THEY
CALL A SEX TRAFFICKING RING.
>> Reporter: DOZENS OF WOMEN
FROM CANADA, THE U.S. AND THE
BAHAMAS, HAVE NOW COME FORWARD
TO ACCUSE PETER NYGÅRD OF SEXUAL
ASSAULT, INCLUDING RAPE.
MOST OF THE ALLEGATIONS ARE FROM
RECENT YEARS, BUT "THE FIFTH
ESTATE" HAS ALSO UNCOVERED CASES
THAT ARE DECADES OLD, INCLUDING
WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR FROM
THIS WOMAN WHO SAYS THAT NYGÅRD
RAPED HER IN 1980.
AND THAT WHEN SHE TRIED TO GO
PUBLIC WITH HER STORY YEARS AGO
POWERFUL WINNIPEGGERS MADE SURE
THAT ALL OF THE DETAILS WERE
KEPT SECRET.
THAT IS, UNTIL NOW.
PETER NYGÅRD BEGAN HIS FASHION
EMPIRE IN WINNIPEG.
BY THE 1990s, HE WAS ONE OF
THE CITY'S MOST PROMINENT
BUSINESS LEADERS.
REPORTER CATHERINE MITCHELL
COVERED NYGÅRD FOR THE "WINNIPEG
FREE PRESS."
>> DEFINITELY PEOPLE KNEW WHO
PETER NYGÅRD WAS AND WHAT NYGARD
INTERNATIONAL MEANT TO THE CITY.
>> Reporter: BUT A DARKER SIDE
OF PETER NYGÅRD WAS ABOUT TO
EMERGE.
IN 1996, MITCHELL AND ANOTHER
JOURNALIST LEARNED ABOUT A STORY
WITH THE POTENTIAL TO SHAKE UP
WINNIPEG AND NYGÅRD.
MITCHELL REPORTED THAT THREE OF
NYGÅRD'S FEMALE FORMER EMPLOYEES
HAD LAUNCHED SEXUAL HARASSMENT
COMPLAINTS AGAINST HIM AT THE
MANITOBA HUMAN RIGHTS
COMMISSION.
>> THE ALLEGATIONS WERE THAT HE
WOULD MAKE SEXUAL COMMENTS
CONSTANTLY, YOU KNOW, SORT OF IN
THE JOKEY MANNER.
HE WOULD TOUCH THEM
INAPPROPRIATELY, LIKE TOUCHING
THEIR BODIES.
SO THEY HAD THOSE COMPLAINTS.
>> Reporter: THE ARTICLE WAS
PUBLISHED ON A WEEKEND.
BY MONDAY MITCHELL'S VOICEMAIL
AT THE FREE PRESS WAS FULL.
>> A NUMBER OF THEM WERE SAYING
THAT YOU SHOULD CALL THIS
PERSON, CALL THIS PERSON.
>> Reporter: ONE OF THE NAMES
SHE GOT WAS A FORMER NYGÅRD
EMPLOYEE LIVING IN DENMARK --
JONNA LAURSEN.
>> I MANAGED TO REACH HER AND
INTERVIEW HER OVER THE PHONE.
I MEAN, SHE CERTAINLY DIDN'T
SEEK THE
PUBLIC SPOTLIGHT ON THIS.
BUT IN HER CASE I THINK THAT
WHAT WAS COMPELLING SPOKE TO HER
CREDIBILITY AND INTEGRITY TO
US IS THAT SHE DOCUMENTED THIS.
SHE MADE NOTES.
>> Reporter: BUT "THE WINNIPEG
FREE PRESS" NEVER PUBLISHED
JONNA LAURSEN'S STORY ABOUT
PETER NYGÅRD.
>> THE ONE REGRET THAT I HAD IS
THAT DEFINITELY JONNA'S STORY
DESERVED TO BE TOLD.
>> Reporter: THIS PAST WINTER
WE WENT TO DENMARK TO TRACK HER
DOWN AND TO HEAR HER STORY FOR
OURSELVES.
TODAY JONNA LAURSEN IS 72, BUT
IN
THE EARLY 1980s SHE WAS A
SINGLE MOTHER FROM DENMARK WITH
A FLAIR FOR FASHION AND HOPING
TO START A NEW LIFE IN CANADA.
>> I HAVE NEVER BEEN AFRAID OF
TRYING NEW THINGS.
AND MY JOB IN COPENHAGEN WAS
FINISHED, SO I LEFT AND I FELL
IN LOVE WITH CANADA RIGHT AWAY.
I WAS VERY GOOD AT BEING A
SEAMSTRESS AND DESIGNING THINGS.
>> Reporter: EVENTUALLY SHE
LANDED A JOB IN WINNIPEG WORKING
FOR NYGÅRD.
>> SHE WAS VERY CONSTANT AND
SHE'S ARTICULATE, ATTRACTIVE.
SHE WAS VERY FRIENDLY.
SHE WAS VERY WELCOMING.
AND I THINK SHE WAS DOING A VERY
GOOD JOB.
>> Reporter: IN FACT, BEFORE
LONG PETER NYGÅRD TOOK HER ON A
BUSINESS TRIP TO ASIA.
DECADES LATER JONNA LAURSEN
ADMITS THAT IT'S NOW A PLUR, BUT
SHE
STILL REMEMBERS BEING SHOWN TO
HER ROOM BY THE HOTEL MANAGER.
>> I WAS JUST A COUNTRY GIRL
STILL AT THAT TIME.
I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
ONE ROOM CONNECTED TO ANOTHER
ROOM.
THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND I SAID,
WELL, I LIKE YOU TO LOCK THE
DOOR AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT IT IS LOCKED.
>> Reporter: REASSURED, SHE
SAYS THAT SHE FELL INTO BED
EXHAUSTED BY THE OVERSEAS
FLIGHT.
BUT THEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT --
>> THERE WAS SOMEBODY IN MY BED.
AND I WOKE UP AND I SAW IT WAS
NYGÅRD.
AND I WAS ABOUT TO SAY
SOMETHING, AND HE PUT HIS HAND
OVER MY MOUTH.
HE SAID, OH, JUST DON'T WORRY,
YOU'RE A NICE GIRL.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
YEAH.
AND THEN HE RAPED ME.
YEP.
AFTER HE LEFT, I GOT UP AND I
SAT IN A CHAIR AND I CRIED AND I
REMEMBER WHEN I SAT THERE AND
SITTING IN THE CHAIR CRYING THAT 
EVERYTHING WAS JUST A BIG MESS.
>> Reporter: BACK IN CANADA,
SHE SAYS THAT THE ATMOSPHERE AT
WORK WAS CHANGING.
THAT PETER NYGÅRD BEGAN TO
HARASS HER.
>> NYGÅRD HAD BEEN ON MY BACK
FOR QUITE A WHILE, YELLING AND
SCREAMING I THINK BECAUSE I
STARTED TO DEVELOP A LOT OF
RESENTMENT OF WHAT HE DID.
>> Reporter: FINALLY IN THE
SUMMER OF 1981, JONNA LAURSEN
SAID THAT
SHE WAS FORCED OUT OF HER JOB
WITH PETER NYGÅRD'S COMPANY.
>> SHE PHONED ME AND SHE WAS
VERY UPSET --
>> Reporter: JONNA CONFIDED IN
HER FRIEND AND FELLOW EMPLOYEE
GAIL ABOUT WHAT HAD TOOK PLACE
IN ASIA.
>> SHE WAS IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY,
WHO IS GOING TO BELIEVE HER?
SHE WAS A SINGLE MOM.
SHE NEEDED HER JOB.
AND SHE HAD JUST KEPT IT TO
HERSELF UNTIL THIS HAPPENED AND
THEN SHE WAS VERY ANGRY.
>> Reporter: DISTRAUGHT, SHE
EVENTUALLY THREATENED TO GO TO
THE PRESS AND POLICE.
>> NYGÅRD GOT WIND OF IT AND SHE
WAS OFFERED A CASH SETTLEMENT
AND A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION.
>> Reporter: FOR 15 YEARS,
JONNA SAID SHE DIDN'T TALK MUCH
ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HER.
AND THEN SHE DECIDED TO TELL IT
ALL TO THE "WINNIPEG FREE
PRESS."
CATHERINE MITCHELL DID THE
INTERVIEW.
THE QUESTION IS, WHY DIDN'T IT
APPEAR IN PRINT?
THE NEWSPAPER'S PUBLISHER AT THE 
TIME WAS RUDY REDDEKOPP WHO SAID
THAT
HE GOT PRESSURE FROM TOP
BUSINESS LEADERS IN WINNIPEG,
PEOPLE HE CALLED NYGÅRD'S
COMPATRIOTS AND THE WINNIPEG
KINGPINS.
HE SAYS HE WORRIED THAT THE
REPORTING MIGHT BE
SENSATIONALIST.
WHAT'S MORE, PETER NYGÅRD
THREATENED A LAWSUIT.
CATHERINE MITCHELL SAID THAT SHE
AND THE MAJORITY OF THE NEWSROOM
DISAGREED, BUT THEIR BOSS KILLED
THE COVERAGE ANYWAY.
>> IT WAS MADE CLEAR THAT WE
WEREN'T GOING TO CONTINUE WITH
THE STORY.
>> Reporter: TODAY FORMER
PUBLISHER RUDY REDDEKOPP SAID
THAT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME AND
NOW ADMITS THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD
HAVE PROCEEDED WITH THE NYGÅRD
STORY.
RECENTLY, PETER NYGÅRD'S LAWYER
SENT US A STATEMENT SAYING
"MR. NYGÅRD WAS NOT INVOLVED
IN ANY ATTEMPT TO STOP THE
PUBLICATION OF A STORY ABOUT
UNRELIABLE, FALSE AND MALICIOUS
ALLEGATIONS."
UNABLE TO FIND ANOTHER JOB IN
WINNIPEG, IN 1982, JONNA LAURSEN
AND HER DAUGHTER ZITHA RETURNED
TO
DENMARK.
JONNA EVENTUALLY MARRIED, IS A
GRANDMOTHER AND LIVES A QUIET
LIFE ON THE SHORES OF THE
NORTHERN FJORD.
NOW ALMOST 40 YEARS LATER,
JONNA'S FULL STORY IS FINALLY
BEING HEARD.
>> IT STILL EFFECTS ME.
>> Reporter: IS THAT IN PART
WHY YOU'RE TELLING THIS STORY?
>> YEAH, IT IS.
LIKE, I DON'T GET ANYTHING OUT
OF
TELLING MY STORY EXCEPT MAYBE A
BIT MORE PEACE INSIDE.
IT'S GOOD HAVING MY DAUGHTER
HERE AS WELL.
I NEVER THINK THAT I HAVE REALLY
TOLD HER THE DETAILS, IT IS
UNPLEASANT.
AND YET I FEEL GOOD ABOUT HER
KNOWING IT.
IT GIVES ME SOME PEACE.
AFTER ALL OF THOSE YEARS.
>> Ian: THE FIFTH ESTATE'S BOB
McKEOWN.
>>> WHEN WE COME BACK,
KEEPING AN EYE ON A DIFFERENT
KIND OF HEAT WAVE.
>> IT HAS BECOME CLEARER AND
CLEARER THAT MEASURING THIS
WARMING OCEAN IS MORE AND MORE
IMPORTANT.
>> Ian:
>> Ian: WELL, MANY OF YOU IN
ONTARIO AND QUÉBEC HAVE BEEN
COPING WITH SWELTERING WEATHER.
OUT HERE ON THE WEST COAST,
SCIENTISTS ARE WATCHING FOR A
DIFFERENT KIND OF HEAT WAVE.
WHAT SOME ARE CALLING THE MARINE
BLOB THAT COULD HAVE A
CATASTROPHIC EFFECT ON MARINE
LIFE.
LAST FALL I WENT DOWN TO
WASHINGTON STATE TO SEE HOW
SCIENTISTS AND THE SEAFOOD
INDUSTRY ARE
WATCHING THE WARMING WATERS OF
THE PACIFIC.
SALISH SHELLFISH DESCRIBES
ITSELF AS THE LARGEST
PRODUCER OF FARMED OYSTER AND
CLAMS IN THE UNITED STATES.
>> SO SHE'S ARE DIPLOID PACIFIC
OYSTERS.
>> Ian: BUT IT ALL STARTS SMALL,
MICROSCOPICALLY SMALL.
A KILOGRAM OF THIS STUFF IS
ACTUALLY MORE THAN 100 MILLION
OYSTER LARVAE, SIFTED, SORTED,
AND WASHED IN SEA WATER.
SO HONESTLY THEY DON'T LOOK THAT
IMPRESSIVE WHEN THEY'RE IN THOSE
BIG BUCKETS.
BUT THROUGH A MICROSCOPE YOU CAN 
TELL HOW -- WELL, FIRST OF ALL,
THAT THEY'RE ALIVE, THEY'RE
ACTIVE AND
READY FOR THE NEXT STAGE.
BUT 10 YEARS AGO THESE LARVAE
WERE DYING OFF AND NO ONE COULD
FIGURE OUT WHY.
THIS IS HOW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO
LOOK AFTER THREE MONTHS.
BUT UP AND DOWN THE COAST
SOMETHING IN THE WATER WAS
KILLING THE OYSTERS BEFORE THEY
COULD DEVELOP THEIR SHELL.
>> DIFFERENT COLOURS ARE
OF DIFFERENT SPECIES OF PLANKTON
THAT
WE GROW TO FEED THEM.
>> Ian: AS YOU WALK BY TANKS OF
ALGAE, FOOD FOR THE SHELLFISH,
BILL DEWY SAYS THAT IT TOOK
INDUSTRY, THE STATE AND FEDERAL
GOVERNMENTS, AND UNIVERSITIES
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG.
ACIDIFICATION OF THE OCEAN, THE
RESULT OF INCREASED CARBON
DIOXIDE BEING ABSORBED INTO THE
WATER.
>> THESE ARE BABY CLAMS.
>> Ian: HE SAYS IN WASHINGTON
STATE THERE WAS NO DEBATE ABOUT
THE PROBLEM OR THE CAUSE.
>> WE NEEDED EVERYBODY'S HELP TO
REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL
FUELS AND GET AT THE CO2
POLLUTION PROBLEM BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT IS CHANGING THE CHEMISTRY
OF THE OCEAN AND AFFECTING OUR
ABILITY TO GROW OUR BABY
OYSTERS.
>> Ian: ACIDIFICATION IS ONE OF
THE PROBLEMS IN THE WATERS HERE
OFF WASHINGTON STATE AND WE'RE
HEADING OUT TO LOOK AT ONE OF
THE BUOYS THEY USE TO MEASURE
THAT.
BUT IT'S ALSO MONITORING THE
WATER TEMPERATURE.
AND RIGHT NOW WASHINGTON STATE
OR AT LEAST THE WATERS HERE OFF
WASHINGTON STATE, ARE HAVING
THEIR SECOND MARINE HEAT WAVE IN
FIVE YEARS.
A NETWORK OF SOLAR-POWERED BUOYS
DEPLOYED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF
WASHINGTON REACHES DEEP INTO THE
WATER.
SENDING DATA 24 HOURS A DAY,
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, FOR 15 YEARS.
>> WE ARE IN THE SALISH SEA,
WHICH IS A LARGE INLAND WATER
BODY THAT GOES FROM CANADA TO
THE STATE OF WASHINGTON --
>> Ian: PROFESSOR JAN NEWTON
SAYS THAT IN JULY THE BUOYS
ALONG THE COAST RECORDED SEA
WATER TEMPERATURES
AS HIGH AS 4-DEGREES CELSIUS
ABOVE AVERAGE.
THE DATA AVAILABLE ONLINE.
>> WHEN YOU SEE RED, THAT MEANS
WARMER.
AND WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS THAT THE
FULL
WATER COMMUM WAS WARMER THAN THE
LONG-TERM AVERAGE.
SO THAT'S TELLING US THE
PRESENCE OF THE MARINE HEAT WAVE
IS HERE IN PUGET SOUND.
>> Ian: WHAT IS THE IMPLICATION
OF THAT?
>> SO THE IMPLICATION IS A BIT
UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT.
>> Ian: BUT WHAT IS KNOWN, SAY
SCIENTISTS IS THE IMPACT OF THAT
MARINE HEAT WAVE A FEW YEARS
AGO.
A DECLINE IN SALMON STOCKS.
A SURGE IN THE NUMBER OF DEAD
BIRDS.
AND STRESSES ON MAMMALS LIKE SEA
LIONS SEARCHING FURTHER FOR
FOOD.
>> IN SCIENCE WE TALK ABOUT
MULTIPLE STRESSORS, AND I THINK
THAT IN EVERYBODY'S LIFE THEY
KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE STRESSED ABOUT
YOUR BUDGET, YOU'RE STRESSED
ABOUT YOUR JOB, YOU'RE STRESSED
ABOUT YOUR KIDS OR WHATEVER.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE FORMS
OF STRESS, THAT'S WHEN YOU START
TO PERFORM LESS.
>> Ian: AND THE WARMING WATERS
EXTEND FAR BEYOND PUGET SOUND.
>> SO THE UPPER 700 METRES...
>> Ian: GREG JOHNSON IS AN
OCEANGRAPHER WITH
NOAA, THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND
ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION.
NOT ONLY DOES HE KNOW HOW MUCH
MORE HEAT THE OCEANS ARE
ABSORBING, HE KNOWS HOW TO
DESCRIBE IT.
>> THE OCEAN IS WARMING AT AN
AVERAGE RATE OF ABOUT 10 SET OF
JOULES A YEAR, WHICH IS 330
TERAWATTS.
AGAIN, A TERAWATT IS
AND AGAIN A TERAWATT IS
SOMETHING WITH 12 ZEROS AFTER
IT.
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, IT IS A
HUGE WOMAN.
THIS IS LIKE FIVE HIROSHIMA
BOMBS
EXPLODING CONTINUOUSLY FROM 1993
THROUGH TO THE PRESENT.
>> Ian: THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A
MOMENT.
JOHNSON SAYS THAT UNFATHOMABLE
AMOUNT OF HEAT TRAPPED BY
GREENHOUSE GASES HAS BEEN
ABSORBED BY THE OCEANS FOR MORE
THAN 25 YEARS.
EXTENDING DEEP BELOW THE
SURFACE.
>> YEAH, SO THESE ARE OUR
PROFILING FLOATS --
>> Ian: THE HARD EVIDENCE OF
OCEAN WARMING IS COMING FROM
THESE.
THERE'S A NETWORK OF MORE THAN
3,700 IN OCEANS AROUND THE
WORLD.
SENDING READINGS EVERY 10 DAYS
TO SCIENTISTS.
DATA THAT IS CRITICAL TO
UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF
GLOBAL WARMING ON OUR OCEANS AND
SAYS JOHNSON -- ALSO A LITTLE
DISHEARTENING.
>> OVER TIME SINCE THE 1990s
IT HAS BECOME CLEARER AND
CLEARER THAT MEASURING THIS
WARMING OCEAN IS MORE AND MORE
IMPORTANT.
YOU KNOW, INITIALLY I WAS KIND
OF EXCITED BECAUSE MY SCIENCE IS
GETTING MORE RELEVANT AS TIME
GOES ON.
NOW IT'S KIND OF DEPRESSING,
ACTUALLY.
IT'S A HARD THING TO STUDY.
WE DO NEED TO TAKE ACTION.
>> Ian: IN THE MEANTIME, THERE'S
SOME SHORT-TERM FIXES.
NOW THAT SHELLFISH FARMERS KNOW
ACIDIFICATION PREVENT THE OYSTER
LARVAE FROM FORMING SHELLS, THEY
MONITOR THE P.H. LEVELS IN THE
WATER COMING INTO THE HATCHERY
AND KEEP THE ACID LEVELS DOWN.
>> THIS IS WHERE THE SCIENCE
HAPPENS IN HERE.
>> Ian: IN HERE IS THE
BURKEOLATOR, NAMED AFTER THE
PROFESSOR WHO DEVELOPED IT.
DEWY SAYS THAT THE SCIENTISTS
WHO HELPED HIM ALSO HAD A
WARNING -- ACIDIFICATION WILL
RISE.
>> EVEN IF YOU CAN CONVINCE THE
WORLD TO STOP BURNING FOSSIL
FUELS TODAY, THIS PROBLEM IS
GOING TO GET WORSE FOR YOU FOR
THE NEXT 30 TO 50 YEARS BECAUSE
OF WHAT'S ALREADY ABSORBED IN
THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND IN THE
PIPELINE COMING YOUR WAY.
>> Ian: IT'S A SCENARIO NEWTON
KNOWS WELL, BUT SHE WORRIES THE
MESSAGE ISN'T BEING HEARD.
>> I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND I
HEARD ON THE NEWS AND IT WAS
LIKE ALL ABOUT THE STOCK REPORTS
AND THE ECONOMICS.
AND I'M JUST WISHING THAT PEOPLE
WERE THINKING OH, THE
TEMPERATURE IN PUGET SOUND IS
2-DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE
TEMPERATURE IN NANAIMO IS
WHATEVER IT IS.
YOU KNOW, I WISH THERE WAS A
HIGHER AWARENESS OF THAT.
>> Ian: AND THAT DOES SEEM TO BE
A SOURCE OF HOPE AMONG THE
PEOPLE THAT WE TALK TO HERE.
THAT THE COLD HARD DATA MAY LEAD
TO A GREATER AWARENESS OF
WARMING WATERS.
>>> UP NEXT, BRINGING SOME STAR
POWER TO VANCOUVER'S SCIENCE
WORLD.
HOW A CHILDHOOD PHOTO OF
DR. BONNIE HENRY ENDED UP ON A
NEW AD CAMPAIGN.
(*)
(*)
(*)
(*)
>> Ian: NOT ONLY IS DR. BONNIE
HENRY CREDITED WITH STEERING
BRITISH COLUMBIA THROUGH THE
WORST OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC,
SHE HAS BECOME SOMETHING OF A
CELEBRITY.
AND FOR HER LATEST IMPRESSIVE
FEAT SHE'S EVEN MASTERED TIME
TRAVEL IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING.
HER MOST RECENT STAR TURN IS OUR
"MOMENT."
(*)
THE FACE OF YOUTHFUL
DETERMINATION, THIS PHOTO OF
DR. BONNIE HENRY TAKEN BACK IN
GRADE SCHOOL, NOW ANCHORS A
FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN FOR B.C.
SCIENCE WORLD.
UNDER THE RALLYING CRY "THE
WORLD NEEDS MORE NERDS."
AFTER CLOSING IN MID-MARCH,
SCIENCE WORLD LOST 85% OF ITS
REVENUE AND WAS FORCED TO CUT
STAFF WITH OTHERS TAKING PAY
CUTS.
THINGS LOOKED BLEAK.
BUT THEN INSPIRATION.
ENLISTING THE HELP OF THE WOMAN
WHO HAS BECOME A NATIONAL SYMBOL
OF CALM, CAPABLE LEADERSHIP.
DR. HENRY HAS ALREADY INSPIRED
MURALS AND MEMES AND EVEN A
FANCY PART OF SHOES.
ALL OF THIS FOR BEING AN
UNAPOLOGETIC OF SCIENCE --
NERDS.
IN THEIR WORDS, NOT OURS.
IN WHAT SOUNDS LIKE AN
UNINTENDED PUN, THE CAMPAIGN HAS
GONE VIRAL.
IT SAYS SOMETHING I THINK ABOUT
HOW THE COVID STORY HAS
PROGRESSED IN THIS PROVINCE,
REALLY IN THIS COUNTRY.
I DON'T KNOW THAT MEDICAL HEALTH
OFFICERS WOULD BE USED IN
ADVERTISEMENT CAMPAIGNS IN EVERY
COUNTRY.
ALSO SHE HAD A GREAT ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL PIC.
NO ONE WANTS TO SEE ANY OF MY
PICS FROM GRADE FOUR OR FIVE.
>>> ANYWAY, THAT IS "THE
NATIONAL" FOR JULY 12th.
GOOD NIGHT.
