>> Mike: GOOD EVENING.
NEW DETAILS ARE EMERGING TONIGHT
ABOUT A DISTURBING INCIDENT AT A
DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER BANK OF 
MONTREAL.
AS WE FIRST REPORTED THAT'S 
WHERE A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND HER
INDIGENOUS GRANDFATHER WERE 
ARRESTED AND HANDCUFFED.
THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO OPEN AN
ACCOUNT, BUT BMO SUSPECTED FRAUD
AND CALLED POLICE.
TODAY IN AN INTERVIEW WITH ME, 
VANCOUVER'S POLICE CHIEF 
REVEALED NEW AND TROUBLING 
INFORMATION ABOUT THE 911 CALL 
VPD GOT FROM THE BANK.
THIS AS ANGER ABOUT WHAT 
HAPPENED BOILED OVER AT BMOS 
FRONT DOOR.
[ Chanting ]
[ Drumming ]
>> Reporter: AT BMO'S MAIN 
BRANCH IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER 
DOZENS OF PROTESTERS.
>> NO RACIAL PROFILING. 
>> Reporter: THE DEMONSTRATORS 
MOVED INSIDE THE BANK WHERE 
INDIGENOUS ELDER MAXWELL JOHNSON
WAS LAST MONTH TO OPEN AN 
ACCOUNT FOR HIS 12-YEAR-OLD 
GRANDDAUGHTER.
DURING THEIR APPOINTMENT, 
JOHNSON SAYS AN EMPLOYEE 
QUESTIONED THE PAIR'S 
IDENTIFICATION INCLUDING THEIR 
GOVERNMENT-ISSUED INDIAN STATUS 
CARDS.
UNBEKNOWNST TO THEM CALLED 911. 
>> THE INFORMATION THAT CAME OUT
OF THE CALL, IT WAS A FRAUD IN 
PROGRESS AND THE INFORMATION 
DESCRIBED TO THE OFFICERS 
THROUGH THE 911 CALL SAID THERE 
WERE TWO SUSPECTS.
ONE WAS A 50-YEAR-OLD SOUTH 
ASIAN MALE AND THE SECOND ONE 
WAS A 16-YEAR-OLD SOUTH ASIAN 
FEMALE.
THAT WAS THE INFORMATION THE 
OFFICERS HAD WHEN THEY RESPONDED
TO THE BANK. 
>> Reporter: AND BASED ON THAT 
FLAWED DESCRIPTION FROM THE BANK
OF THE SUSPECTS, JOHNSON AND THE
GIRL ENDED UP IN HANDCUFFS IN 
THE BACK OF A POLICE CRUISER. 
>> SHE WAS JUST STANDING THERE 
WITH HANDCUFFS ON.
YOU COULD SEE -- SHE WAS CRYING.
>> WE HAD TWO SUSPECTS.
THE OFFICERS VERY POLITELY TOOK 
THEM INTO CUSTODY, PLACED 
HANDCUFFS ON BOTH OF THE PEOPLE.
AT THAT TIME STILL BELIEVING WE 
WERE DEALING WITH A 16-YEAR-OLD 
GIRL AND SO 50-YEAR-OLD MAN. 
>> Reporter: THE CHIEF SAYS THE 
OFFICERS THEMSELVES ARE FROM 
ETHNIC COMMUNITIES WITH 5 YEARS 
ON THE FORCE.
AND IN ANOTHER STATEMENT 
RELEASED TODAY, BMO CALLED WHAT 
HAPPENED UNACCEPTABLE SAYING 
THEY DEEPLY REGRET IT AND 
UNEQUIVOCALLY APOLOGIZE.
THE BANK SAYS IT IS ESTABLISHING
AN INDIGENOUS ADVISORY COUNCIL 
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SEVERAL 
CHIEFS ACROSS CANADA TO SUPPORT 
FURTHER EDUCATION AND AWARENESS.
>> WE'RE VERY SORRY THE WAY THIS
PLAYED OUT.
NOBODY WANTS TO SEE A YOUNG GIRL
IN HANDCUFFS OR ANYBODY IN 
HANDCUFFS WHEN WE KNOW NOW AFTER
DOING THE INVESTIGATION THAT 
THERE WAS NO CRIME.
I ALSO WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THERE
WAS A REASON THAT THIS HAPPENED 
THE WAY THIS PLAYED OUT, BUT, OF
COURSE, IT IS NOT A NICE 
SITUATION FOR ANYBODY INVOLVED.
>> Reporter: AS FOR JOHNSON, HE 
SAYS HE'S CONSIDERING A HUMAN 
RIGHTS CASE AGAINST BMO AND 
POSSIBLY POLICE FOR RACIAL 
PROFILING.
>> Mike: AND LATER THIS HOUR WE 
WILL HAVE AN EXTENDED VERSION OF
MY INTERVIEW WITH CHIEF ADAM 
PALMER.
YOU CAN ALSO WATCH IT ON FULL ON

>>> METRO VANCOUVER IS STILL 
SWASHING ITS WAY OUT OF THE 
FIRST SNOW DUMP OF THE YEAR.
IT WASN'T QUITE SNOWMAGEDDON, 
BUT IT WAS MESSY OUT THERE.
A BURST OF SNOWY WEATHER WREAKED
HAVOC ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOWER 
MAINLAND TODAY.
THERE WERE TRAFFIC AND TRANSIT 
DELAYS AND THE RETURN OF THE 
DREADED BRIDGE ICE BOGS.
ACCORDING TO ICBC 36 OF THEM ON 
THE FORT MAN, 21 ON THE ALEX 
FRASER.
BUT IT WASN'T JUST THE ROADS 
IMPACTED.
STRONG WINDS MEANT 63 FERRY 
CANCELLATIONS.
WE HAVE MORE ON THE FALLOUT OF A
WINTER STORM.
>> Reporter: A SLUSHY AND 
SLOWGOING DAY FOR MANY 
COMMUTERS. 
>> I WOULD SAY TEN TO 15 MINUTES
EXTRA.

I'VE SEEN BETTER DAYS.
>> Reporter: THIS BUS IN SURREY 
GOT COMPLETELY STUCK IN DEEP 
SNOWY GROOVES.
CREWS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN 
TO TRY TO GET IT OUT.
THE ROADS IN GENERAL ACROSS THE 
LOWER MAINLAND A BIT OF A MESS 
FOR DRIVERS AND COMMUTERS ALIKE.
>> MY PANTS ARE DRENCHED.
MY SHOES ARE DRENCHED.
IT IS REALLY BAD. 
>> Reporter: THE ALEX FRASER 
BRIDGE WAS CLOSED DOWN DUE TO 
FALLING ICE AND THINGS WEREN'T 
MUCH BETTER ON THE PORT MAN.
ICBC SAYS NUMEROUS CLAIMS ARE 
BEING MADE FOR FALLING ICE.
CREWS ELSEWHERE DOING THEIR BEST
TO KEEP MAIN ROADS CLEAR, BUT 
TAKING LONGER TO GET TO SIDE 
STREETS.
AS FOR ON THE WATER, DOZENS OF 
FERRY CANCELLATIONS. 
>> WE DID HAVE TO CANCEL SEVERAL
SAILINGS DUE TO THE WIND.
WE COULD HOLD SAILINGS ON THE 
MAJOR ROUTES BETWEEN VANCOUVER 
AND VICTORIA AND VANCOUVER AND 
NANAIMO. 
>> Reporter: 63 SAILINGS CUT IN 
TOTAL ONLY RESUMING SERVICE IN 
THE AFTERNOON, BUT THEY'RE NOT 
CAUGHT ALL CLEAR JUST YET. 
>> WE ARE CONTINUING TO MONITOR 
CONDITIONS.
WE DO ANTICIPATE THERE WILL BE 
WIND THIS WEEKEND. 
>> Reporter: B.C. FERRIES IS 
ASKING TRAVELLERS TO CHECK THEIR
WEBSITE BEFORE HEADING OUT IN 
CASE THE WAVES GET TOO WILD TO 
SET SAIL AND WHILE IT HAS BEEN A
STORMY RIDE FOR MANY, FOR SOME 
THE WEATHER HAS BEEN THE BEST 
NEWS ALL WEEK.
>> SNOW DAY CALLED IN SICK FOR 
THE LITTLE GUY AND BOUGHT SLEDS 
TO GO SLEDDING.

>> WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE THIS 
AND ENJOY IT.
THAT'S HOW I SEE IT. 
>> Reporter: CBC NEWS SURREY. 
>> Mike: BRETT IS HERE WITH MORE
COVERAGE ON THE ON THE STORM.
I THINK I ACTUALLY PREFER THE 
SNOW THAN THE SLOP WE GOT TODAY 
AT LEAST ON THE COAST, BUT THE 
ISLAND WAS HIT AS WELL. 
>> Brett: YOU HAVE A GOOD POINT 
THERE.
A ROUGH GO AS WELL TODAY.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE RADAR OF 
WHAT IT IS LOOKING LIKE RIGHT 
NOW.
YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE STILL 
RIGHT NOW IN THE THICK OF IT, 
THOUGH, IT IS RAIN AT THIS POINT
IN TIME IN VANCOUVER, BUT ACROSS
HIGHER ELEVATED REGIONS OF 
VANCOUVER ISLAND THERE IS STILL 
SNOW FALLING.
THIS MADE FOR TREACHEROUS ROADS 
THERE AS WELL.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT 
LOOKED LIKE EARLIER ON TODAY ON 
STRETCHES OF THE HIGHWAY IN 
VANCOUVER ISLAND.
THIS WOULD BE ALONG, I BELIEVE, 
PORTIONS OF HIGHWAY 19.
IN PARTICULAR WE'LL GET THERE IN
ONE SECOND.
LOTS OF PEOPLE TRYING TO SHOVEL 
THEIR WAY OUT.
A PARTICULAR CONCERN WAS THIS 
RIGHT NOW.
THAT IS AN AMBULANCE FLIPPED 
UPSIDEDOWN.
IT WAS JUST SOUTH OF COURTENAY.
NOBODY WAS INJURED IN THAT AND 
THERE WAS NO PATIENT ON BOARD AT
THE TIME.
SO THAT IS SOME GOOD NEWS, BUT 
THESE WEATHER CONDITIONS 
CATCHING A FEW PEOPLE OFF GUARD 
AND I DO HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS AT 
LEAST THAT IS GOING TO BE 
IMPROVING SOMEWHAT FOR TOMORROW.
BUT THE TRADEOFF IS WE'RE 
DEALING WITH STRONGER WINDS.
TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ALL THE 
WAY ACROSS THE REGION STILL 
ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3 AND 4º.
AS WE GO AHEAD INTO THE WEEKEND,
THOUGH, IT IS WORTH MENTIONING 
WE COULD BE DEALING WITH A FEW 
SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT.
THAT COULD BE ISOLATED, POCKETS 
OF MIXING.
SATURDAY'S LOOKING PRETTY NICE 
WITH A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD, BUT
IT WILL BE GUSTY.
BE AWARE OF THAT.
>> Mike: THANKS, BRETT.
MORE FROM YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.D 
A B.C. NATUROPATH IS UNDER FIRE 
TONIGHT AFTER OFFERING AN 
UNUSUAL KIND OF TREATMENT FOR 
AUTISM.
JASON CLOP CLAIMS HE HAS SEEN 
DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE 
THERAPY DERIVED FROM HUMAN 
FECES.
AS BETHANY LINDSAY REPORTS THERE
ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT SCIENCE AND 
THE RISKS.
>> IF A CHILD WITH AUTISM -- I 
THINK THEY HAVE THE LIKELIHOOD 
OF BENEFITTING FROM IT. 
>> Reporter: FMT.
THAT'S SHORT FOR FECAL 
MICROBUYOTA TRANSPLANT MADE FROM
BACTERIA AND MICROBES TAKEN FROM
THE FECES OF A HEALTHY PERSON.
THEY TAKE IT ORALLY OR BY ENEMA.
NATUROPATH JASON CLOP CLAIMS IT 
CAN TREAT AUTISM. 
>> I JUST WANT TO SEE DRAMATIC 
IMPROVEMENTS IN DIGESTION, 
SLEEP, BEHAVIOUR, COGNITIVE 
ABILITY, SOCIAL AWARENESS, 
SOCIAL INTERACTIONS.
WE SEE ALL OF THOSE THINGS. 
>> Reporter: IT ISN'T APPROVED 
FOR USE FOR AUTISM IN CANADA OR 
THE U.S. SO HE OFFERS RETREATS 
IN A CLINIC IN MEXICO.  
THE COST?
$15,000 U.S.
>> I THINK CURRENTLY THE RISK 
ARE WAY TOO HIGH TO BE DOING 
THIS AS A MEDICAL TREATMENT. 
>> Reporter: SCIENTISTS TELL CBC
THEY'RE ALARMED.
THE SCIENCE ISN'T SOLID.
ONE STUDY SUGGESTS FECAL 
TRANSPLANTS COULD HELP WITH 
AUTISM, BUT IT WAS VERY SMALL, 
HAD NO CONTROL GROUP AND DIDN'T 
ACCOUNT FOR THE PLACEBO AFFECT.
THE STUDY AUTHORS RECOMMEND 
GOING AGAINST SEEING CLOP FOR 
TREATMENT SAYING THE RESEARCH 
ISN'T CONCLUSIVE.
DOCTORS SAY PATIENTS COULD BE AT
RISK FOR SERIOUS INFECTION. 
>> CHARGING $15,000 TO PEOPLE 
WITHOUT HAVING REALLY CONFIRMED 
DATA IS -- IT'S REALLY BORDERS 
ON ETHICAL.
BEING VERY UNETHICAL. 
>> Reporter: HEALTH CANADA IS 
LOOKING INTO CLOP'S BUSINESS.
IT IS ALSO CAUGHT THE ATTENTION 
OF OFFICIALS IN B.C. INCLUDING 
THE COLLEGE OF NATUROPATHIC 
PHYSICIANS AND EVEN THE 
PROVINCE'S TOP DOCTOR WHO SAYS 
SHE HAS A WARNING FOR PARENTS...
>> THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL 
UNPROVEN TREATMENT THAT HAS 
DANGERS SO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
IT ANYBODY USE THIS TYPE OF 
TREATMENT. 
>> Reporter: CLOP DECLINED AN 
INTERVIEW WITH CBC.
BETHANY LINDSEY, CBC NEWS

COASTAL GAT LINK SAYS IT HAS

COUNCILS ALONG THE PIPELINE 
PATH.
WET'SUWET'EN HEREDITARY CHIEFS 
GATHERED IN THE COLD AND SNOW IN
SMITHERS THIS AFTERNOON TO 
RESOLVE THE IMPASSE. 
>> WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 
WET'SUWET'EN AND OUR SUPPORTERS 
SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN A 
DEMOCRATIC FREE COUNTRY. 
>> Mike: THE HEREDITARY CHIEFS 
SAY THEY NEVER WILL GIVE COASTAL
GAS LINK APPROVAL TO MOVE AHEAD 
WITH THE PROJECT.
AND STUDENTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY
OF VICTORIA WALKED OUT OF

HAS NOW LOWERED THE NUMBER OF 
CANADIAN VICTIMS IN THE DOWNED 
UKRAINIAN AIRLINER CRASH.
JUST A SHORT TIME AGO.
WITH UPDATED INFORMATION ON 
BIRTH DATES AND TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
THE NUMBER NOW STANDS AT 57.
THAT'S DOWN FROM 63.
IN THE MEANTIME MOURNERS ARE AT 
TWO VIGILS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF 
BRITISH COLUMBIA TONIGHT.
OUR TINA LOVE GREEN IS LIVE 
INSIDE THE UBC NEST.
THIS IS THE SECOND VIGIL AT UBC.
>> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE MOVED INSIDE AS YOU CAN 
SEE THERE ARE CANDLES AND 
FLOWERS, BUT THIS VIGIL BEGAN 
OUTSIDE.
IT BEGAN WITH NAMING EVERY 
VICTIM THAT WAS ON THAT PLANE 
CRASH AND THEN A MOMENT OF 
SILENCE FOLLOWED BY PEOPLE 
LAYING FLOWERS BESIDE THOSE LIT 
CANDLES.
THEY MOVED INSIDE HERE.
AS YOU MENTIONED THIS IS THE 
SECOND VIGIL BECAUSE UBC HAS A 
STRONG CONNECTION TO THREE OF 
THE PEOPLE THAT WERE ON THAT 
PLANE CRASH.
TWO OF THEM WERE SIBLINGS.
MOHAMMADHOSSEIN ASADI LARI AND 
AND A THIRD THAT WAS COMING HERE
TO STUDY HIS POST DOCTORATE.
AND NOW I'M HERE WITH TWO OF THE
ORGANIZERS WHO HELPED ORGANIZE 
THIS VIGIL.
TELL ME WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT TO 
ORGANIZE A SECOND VIGIL HERE 
TONIGHT.
>> I THINK THE FIRST VIGIL WAS 
TO COMMEMORATE THE MEMORIES OF 
THEM.
THAT WAS MORE OF A VERY PERSONAL
VIGIL, MOSTLY FOR THE REALLY 
CLOSE FRIENDS OF THE TWO 
VICTIMS.
THE SECOND INDIVIDUAL TODAY IS 
THE FIRST ONE IN VANCOUVER THAT 
IS REMEMBERING ALL THE VICTIMS 
OF THE CRASH.
SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT 
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE 
LOST INDIVIDUALS IN THIS CRASH 
SO IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE UBC 
COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN AFFECTED
BY THIS.
CANADA HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY IT 
AND WE HAD A LARGE CROWD FROM 
DIFFERENT CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS, 
DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS,
COMING TOGETHER, REMEMBERING ALL
THE LIVES THAT WERE LOST TODAY.
>> Reporter: AND I KNOW YOU GUYS
KNEW ONE OF THE VICTIMS 
PERSONALLY.
THERE WERE SO MANY TEARS HERE 
TONIT.
TELL ME HOW THE STUDENT BODY 
HERE IS FEELING.
>> WE'RE VERY SHOCKED.
HONESTLY WE DID NOT EXPECT THIS 
TO HAPPEN, BUT IT DID.
AND WE JUST WANT EVERYONE AT UBC
TO KNOW THAT THE FOUR 
ORGANIZATIONS THAT MADE THE TWO 
VIGILS HAPPEN, WE ARE HERE FOR 
ALL THE STUDENTS AND EVEN 
FACULTY MEMBERS.
I WASN'T VERY CLOSE TO HER, BUT 
SHE WAS A KIND INDIVIDUAL.
I WOULD ALWAYS SEE HER IN THE 
LIBRARY ALWAYS WEARING A SMILE 
ON HER FACE.
I THINK ALL WE CAN DO IS LIVE ON
WITH THEIR LEGACY AND MAKE THEM 
PROUD. 
>> Reporter: VERY EMOTIONAL 
FIGHT HERE, MIKE.
AND THERE WILL BE MORE VIGILS 
PLANNED.
TWO WILL BE PLANNED AT THE 
VANCOUVER ART GALLERY.
ONE TOMORROW FROM 2-3.
ANOTHER ON SUNDAY FROM 12:30 TO 
2:30 AND THERE WILL BE OTHER 
CELEBRATIONS OF LIGHTS PLANNED 
THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL GATHER 
TO REMEMBER THE NORTH VANCOUVER 
COUPLE AND LATER THE LIVES OF 
THEM WILL BE REMEMBERED AT THE 
POLYGON ART GALLERY ON SATURDAY.
AND SUNDAY THE PORT COQUITLAM 
FAMILY OF THREE WILL BE 
REMEMBERED.
YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ON
THAT ON OUR WEBSITE.
I WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH FOR 
BEING WITH US TODAY AND FOR 
ORGANIZING THIS.

GOOD EVENING.
THANKS FOR STAYING WITH US ON 
OUR LIVE STREAM DURING THE 
COMMERCIAL BREAK ON TELEVISION.
AS WE TOLD YOU EARLIER TODAY, 
SNOWFALL IN THE LOWER MAINLAND 
HAS CREATED SOME CHAOS.
IT WAS CERTAINLY SLOPPY OUT 
THERE, BUT IT IS NOTHING 
COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAD IN THE 
PAST.
FOR SPECIAL FLASHBACK FRIDAY, 
TAKE A LOOK AT THE 1996 
SNOWSTORM THAT BROUGHT, YES, 65 
CENTIMETRES OF SNOW TO VICTORIA.

WAS A LOSING BATTLE.
MOST STREETS WERE LEFT AN 
UNPLOWED MESS MAKING DRIVING 
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
AMBULANCE CREWS RESPONDING TO 
EXTREME EMERGENCY CALLS.
THE ONLY CARS GETTING AROUND HAD
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND A BIT OF 
CHAINS.
TRANSIT WAS VERY SLOW.
BUSES WERE CONSTANTLY GETTING 
STUCK.
BY MIDMORNING THE SKYTRAIN WAS 
COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN.
>> THEY'RE SAYING WE HAVE TO 
FIND ALTERNATE MEANS OF 
TRANSPORTATION.
THIS WAS OUR ALTERNATE MEANS OF 
TRANSPORTATION SO I GUESS WE'RE 
HIKING. 
>> Reporter: MOST HIGHWAYS OUT 
OF TOWN WERE CLOSED.
MANNERS OF CARS AND TRUCKS WERE 
HAULED OUT OF THE SNOW ALL-DAY 
ALONG, EVEN PLOWS WERE GETTING 
STUCK.
FOR THOSE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE

NIGHTMARE.
PLANES WERE COVERED WITH ICE AND
SNOW.
ONLY ONE IN TEN WERE GETTING OFF

HUNDREDS OF FLIGHTS CANCELLED 
LEAVING THOUSANDS STRANDED.

UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING MOST 
LIKELY. 
>> Reporter: AT THE STADIUM THEY
WERE FURIOUSLY TRYING TO CLEAR 
SNOW OFF THE DOME AS IT BEGAN TO
SAG.
AT THE YACHT CLUB THEY WERE 
CLEARING SNOW OFF BOAT HOUSES 
ALL DAY FOR FEAR THEY MIGHT 
COLLAPSE AS WELL.
VICTORIA HAD TWICE THE PROBLEMS.
IN THE LAST 24 HOURS 65 
CENTIMETRES OF SNOW FALLEN.
NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN ANYTHING 
LIKE THAT.
SNOW IS WAIST-DEEP. 
>> HENCEFORTH THE CITY SHALL BE 
KNOWN AS VICTORIA PEG.

STORES ARE OPEN AND THIS IS 
PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY WAY TO GET 
TO THEM. 
THE PROVINCE STOPPED SHORT OF 
DECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY, 
BUT IT HAS CALLED IN THE ARMY.
LATE THIS AFTERNOON THE SNOW 
BEGAN TO CHANGE TO FREEZING RAIN

THEY TRIED TO OPEN A BANK 
ACCOUNT.
THE VANCOUVER POLICE CHIEF ON 
WHY IT HAPPENED NEXT.
 
>> Mike: HERE ARE SOME OF THE 
STORIES WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT 
ON CBC VANCOUVER NEWS. 
>> MY PANTS ARE DRERCHD. 
>> Mike: IT WAS A SLOW, WET AND 
WINDY DAY TO GET AROUND THE 
SOUTH COAST AS SNOW AND RAIN 
DUMPED ACROSS THE REGION.
FERRY SAILINGS WERE CANCELLED 
AND WE MAY GET A BREAK FROM THE 
PRECIPITATION THIS WEEKEND, 
TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE 
WELL BELOW FREEZING AND THEY'RE 
ON THE WAY.
>> I THINK CURRENTLY THE RISK 
ARE WAY TOO HIGH TO BE DOING 
THIS AS A MEDICAL TREATMENT. 
>> Mike: DOCTORS WARNING AGAINST
A VANCOUVER NATUROPATH'S UNUSUAL
TREATMENT FOR AUTISM.
FECAL TRANSPLANTS.
SCIENTISTS ARGUE THE PRICEY 
THERAPY COULD PUT CHILDREN AT 
SERIOUS RISK FOR INFECTIONS.
THE PROCESS IS NOT APPROVED IN 
CANADA OR THE U.S. 
THE NATUROPATH IS DOING THEM IN 
MEXICO.
AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, NEW 
DETAILS ARE EMERGING TONIGHT 
ABOUT A DISTURBING INCIDENT AT A
DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER BANK OF 
MONTREAL.
AS WE FIRST REPORTED, THAT'S 
WHERE 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND HER 
INDIGENOUS GRANDFATHER WERE 
ARRESTED AND HANDCUFFED.
THEY WERE TRYING TO OPEN AN 
ACCOUNT, BUT BMO SUSPECTED FRAUD
AND CALLED POLICE.
TODAY IN AN INTERVIEW WITH ME, 
VANCOUVER'S POLICE CHIEF 
REVEALED NEW AND TROUBLING 
INFORMATION ABOUT THE 911 CALL 
VPD GOT FROM THE BANK.
>> CHIEF, LET ME ASK YOU FIRST 
OF ALL, WHY WERE THIS YOUNG 
GIRL, THIS 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND 
HER GRANDFATHER PLACED IN 
HANDCUFFS AT THIS BANK BY YOUR 
OFFICERS?
>> SURE, MIKE.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE CONTEXT 
OF WHAT HAPPENED.
I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE REPORTING 
AND IT IS MISSING A FEW GAPS.
I'LL FILL THOSE IN FOR YOU SO 
YOU HAVE A FULLER PICTURE.
OUR OFFICERS RECEIVED A 911 CALL
TO THE BMO DOWN AT THE BENTALL 
CENTRE.
IT WAS A FRAUD IN PROGRESS AND 
THE INFORMATION DESCRIBED TO THE
OFFICERS THROUGH THE 911 CALL IS
THAT THERE WERE TWO SUSPECTS.
ONE WAS A FIFTY-YEAR-OLD SOUTH 
ASIAN MALE AND THE SECOND WAS A 
16-YEAR-OLD SOUTH ASIAN FEMALE.
THAT WAS THE INFORMATION THE 
OFFICERS HAD WHEN THEY RESPONDED
TO THE BANK.
THE TWO OFFICERS ARRIVED AT THE 
BANK.
UPON ARRIVING THE TWO SUSPECTS 
WERE POINTED OUT AND STANDARD 
POLICE PROCEDURE, ANYWHERE IN 
CANADA, THIS IS NOT UNIQUE TO 
VANCOUVER OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN 
THIS CITY.
THIS WAS A CANADIAN STANDARD IN 
POLICING.
WHEN YOU'RE RESPONDING TO A 
CRIME IN PROCESS, THE FIRST 
THING YOU DO IS TAKE CHARGE AND 
CALM DOWN THE SITUATION.
WE HAD TWO SUSPECTS.
THE OFFICERS VERY POLITELY TOOK 
THEM INTO CUSTODY, PLACED 
HANDCUFFS ON BOTH OF THE PEOPLE 
AND STILL BELIEVING WE WERE 
DEALING WITH A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL 
AND A FIFTY-YEAR-OLD MAN.
OF COURSE, NOW WE KNOW WHEN THE 
OFFICERS DID A THOROUGH 
INVESTIGATION THAT THERE WAS, IN
FACT, NO FRAUD AND EVERYTHING 
WAS ABOVE BOARD AND IT WAS 
TOTALLY LEGITIMATE.
>> Mike: YET WHEN THEY ARRIVED 
AT THE BANK, THEY WEREN'T ABLE 
TO MAKE THE THE DISTINCTION THE 
INFORMATION THEY REEVED FROM THE
BANK ABOUT THE TWO SUSPECTS WAS 
CLEARLY WRONG.
THEY WEREN'T DEALING WITH TWO 
SOUTH ASIAN INDIVIDUALS 
>> WELL, THEY COULD SEE THEY 
WERE DEALING WITH TWO SOUTH 
ASIAN INDIVIDUALS, BUT THEY 
WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING 
INSTANTANEOUSLY WHETHER THE 
INFORMATION WAS LEGITIMATE OR 
NOT.
I KNOW BOTH OF THOSE OFFICERS.
THEY'RE YOUNG.
BOTH OF THE OFFICERS THAT 
RESPONDED COME FROM DIVERSE 
COMMUNITIES AS WELL.
THEY'RE VERY YOUNG AND 
RESPECTFUL AND COMPASSIONATE 
OFFICERS DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB
OUT THERE.
THIS TURNED INTO A VERY 
UNFORTUNATE SITUATION, BUT I 
WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT OUR
OFFICERS WERE IN ACTING IN GOOD 
FAITH WITH THE INFORMATION THEY 
HAD AT THE TIME. 
>> Mike: SOME PEOPLE FIND 
TROUBLING IT WAS, IN FACT, AT 
THE END OF THE DAY A 12-YEAR-OLD
GIRL IN HANDCUFFS.
>> YES.
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.
BECAUSE THAT'S UNFORTUNATE TO 
SEE A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN 
HANDCUFFS.
THE INFORMATION THE OFFICERS 
HAD, THOUGH, THAT IT WAS A 
16-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND IT WASN'T 
UNTIL THEY HAD TIME TO GO IN AND
ACTUALLY -- THINGS CALMED DOWN 
AND THEY FIGURED OUT THE 
SITUATION.
SHE WAS ONLY 12 AND EVERYTHING 
WAS LEGITIMATE AND THEY DID TAKE
THE HANDCUFFS OFF. 
>> Mike: WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY 
ANYTHING TO THE GENTLEMAN AND 
HIS GRANDDAUGHTER INVOLVED IN 
THIS UNFORTUNATE SITUATION?
>> WELL, IT'S A VERY UNFORTUNATE
SITUATION.
WE'RE VERY SORRY THE WAY THIS 
ALL PLAYED OUT AND NOBODY WANTS 
TO SEE A YOUNG GIRL IN HANDCUFFS
OR ANYBODY IN HANDCUFFS WHEN WE 
KNOW NOW AFTER DOING THE 
INVESTIGATION THERE WAS NO 
CRIME.
I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THERE
WAS A REASON THAT THIS HAPPENED 
THE WAY THIS PLAYED OUT, BUT, OF
COURSE, IT IS NOT A NICE 
SITUATION FOR ANYBODY INVOLVED.
>> Mike: THANKS FOR DOING THIS. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> Mike: AT 6:34 HERE'S A LIVE 
SHOT FROM REVELSTOKE TONIGHT.
WE HAVE MORE ON WHAT WINTERY 
WEATHER THE WEEKEND MIGHT BRING 
NEXT.
[ ♪♪♪ ]
MORE ANIMATED TONIGHT.
A HILARIOUSLY WRONG ANSWER
ON FAMILY FEUD CANADA ON 
THURSDAY NIGHT HAS GONE VIRAL. 
IT STARTED WHEN HOST JERRY D 
ASKED WHAT IS POPEYES FAVOURITE 
FOOD. 
>> NAME POP EYE'S FAVOURITE 
FOOD.
>> CHICKEN!
>> SHOW ME CHICKEN!
>> Mike: SHE LOST HER FAMILY 
FROM MANITOBA THE CHANCE TO WIN 
$10,000 FOR THAT ANSWER.
BUT SHE DID WIN THE ATTENTION OF
MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY CAN 
UNDERSTAND WHY A MILLENNIAL 
WOULD THINK THE POPEYES CHICKEN 
INSTEAD OF THE SAILOR MAN.
RIGHT?
THAT CHARACTER WAS CREATED 
ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO.
>> THE WEATHER UPDATE BROUGHT TO
YOU BY THE BODY SHOP THAT ALWAYS
TAKES YOU BACK TO YOUR HAPPY 
PLACE.
B.C.'S FAVOURITE
AIR MILES AND BIGGER SMILES.
>>> SHE WAS SO PROUD OF THE 
ANSWER.
SO CONFIDENT.
YOU CAN TELL.
CHICKEN!
[ Laughter ]
>> Mike: I LOVE IT.
IT WAS GREAT.
GOOD TIMES.
SHE MADE A MESS OF IT.
AS IS THE CASE HEAR TODAY. 
>> Brett: VERY MESSY AND I'M 
WILLING TO SAY.
THIS IS GOING TO BE AN 
INTERESTING ONE.
YOU AND I KEEP TRACK OF OUR 
SATURDAY.
>> Mike: YES WE DO. 
>> Brett: IT IS NOT THAT BAD.
IT WILL BE WINDY, BUT WE'RE 
SAVING IT FOR SUNDAY AS WELL.
KEEP YOUR WINTER GEAR.
YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT BACK AT 
THIS MORNING TO REALLY JUST, YOU
KNOW, REFLECT ON THE MESS THAT 
IT WAS.
THIS WAS IN THE DOWNTOWN CORE, 
OF COURSE.
THERE ARE APPARENTLY THE NORTH 
SHORE MOUNTAINS BEHIND THERE.
YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL.
JUST SO MUCH RAIN AND SO MUCH 
SNOW AND THAT IS GOING TO BE THE
TREND AS WE GET INTO THE NEXT 
FEW DAYS.
WE HAVE EXTREME COLD WARNINGS 
THAT ARE REALLY BLANKETING MUCH 
OF WESTERN CANADA.
FROM MANITOBA ALL THE WAY TO THE
YUKON.
WE ARE DEALING WITH WINDCHILL 
VALUES THAT COULD BE CLOSE TO 
-45.
THIS INCLUDES PLACES IN THE B.C.
PEACE REGION.
WE GO FARTHER SOUTH AND TRAVEL 
IS STILL GOING TO BE DICEY FOR 
THE REMINDER OF THE EVENING INTO
THE OVERNIGHT.
WE COULD BE SEEING AN ADDITIONAL
20-40 CENTIMETRES OF SNOW ALONG 
HIGHWAY 3 AND KOOTENAY PASS.
AND CLOSE TO US, WELL, OUR STORY
BECOMES THE WIND STORY.
THE PRECIPITATION IS EASING, BUT
WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT THE 
POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS 
BECOMING OUT OF THE NORTHWEST UP
TO 90 KILOMETRES AN HOUR 
TOMORROW MORNING AND INTO THE 
AFTERNOON.
SO FOR TONIGHT IT IS GOING TO BE
CALMING DOWN.
WE'RE GOING TO GET A BREAK.
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING ON GOING 
ON ONE OF THE FERRIES, THERE'S 
GOING TO BE CANCELLATIONS.
IT IS NOT SAFE TO SAIL WITH WIND
CONDITIONS LIKE THAT.
OUR STORY DOESN'T END WITH THE 
WIND.
IT DOES CONTINUE TO BE A 
PRECIPITATION STORY SATURDAY.
BY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING 
WE'LL BE CLEARING UP.
I THINK THE SUN IS GOING TO COME
OUT.
IT IS GOING TO BE A WELCOME 
LITTLE BREAK, BUT SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY WE'LL SEE HELLO TO 
THE SNOW ROUND 2 AND THE 
DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT WE CAN 
BE SEEING THE SNOW STICK AROUND 
THROUGHOUT SUNDAY AS MANY OF US 
GET STUCK INTO THAT SNOWY 
PATTERN FOR THE MAJORITY OF 
SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY.
ALL OF THIS COLD AIR IS GOING TO
BE FUNNELING DOWN FROM THE NORTH
AND THAT MEANS WHEN YOU SEE 
TEMPERATURES LIKE THIS IN YOUR 
FIVE-DAY, DON'T BE TOO ALARMED.
HIGHS MONDAY TO TUESDAY UP TO 
10º BELOW NORMAL AND THE 
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE NEGATIVE 
DOUBLE DIGITS.
STAY WARM, MY FRIENDS.
>> Mike: WE WILL TAKE NOTE OF 
SATURDAY.COLLISION.
THANK YOU.

BRITISH HEADLINES WERE 
UNSPARING.
>> I THINK PEOPLE ARE VERY 
SURPRISED TO DISCOVER THAT 
MEGHAN HAS GONE BACK TO CANADA 
SO SOON.

DIFFERENT PACE THAN THE REST OF 
THE ROYAL FAMILY.
AUTHOR KATIE NICHOLS SAYS SHE 
WAS TOLD THERE WERE TELEPHONE 
CALLS BETWEEN PRINCE HARRY AND 
HIS FAMILY DURING HIS AND

WANTED TO PUT -- MAKE AN 
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE'S MOVING TO
CANADA, BUT THE PALACE STRESSED 
THESE WERE TALKS THAT WERE AT AN
EARLY STAGE, BUT NOT AS FAR AS 
THEY ARE CONCERNED. 
>> Reporter: BY WEDNESDAY A NEW 
WEB PAGE SPRUNG UP.
MODERN, SLEEK AND DESIGNED BY A 
TORONTO COMPANY.
THE COUPLE APPLIED TO TRADEMARK 
THE NAME SUSSEX ROYAL 6 MONTHS 
AGO.
THE STRATEGIST SAYS HE WOULD 
HAVE ADVISED A SIMILAR APPROACH.
>> I THINK EASIER TO GET 
FORGIVENESS THAN PERMISSION.
IN THIS CASE IT WAS A SCORCHED 
EARTH BOLD APPROACH. 
>> Reporter: PART OF THAT 
APPROACH?
A NEW MEDIA POLICY.
THEY WILL NO LONGER GRANT ACCESS
TO THE TRADITIONAL PRESS 
ACCREDITED AS ROYAL 
CORRESPONDENTS, BUT WILL ENGAGE 
WITH GRASSROOTS MEDIA 
ORGANIZATIONS AND YOUNG UP AND 
COMING JOURNALISTS.
>> THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE 
BECAUSE WHY SPEAK TO THE 7 
PUBLICATIONS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT 
LIKE THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN COVERED
FOR THE LAST 20-30 YEARS OF YOUR
WHOLE LIFE WHEN THERE'S UP AND 
COMING PUBLICATIONS AND THOSE 
PUBLICATIONS ARE GOING TO REACH 
THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHICH IS REALLY
WHERE THEY WANT TO BE. 
>> Reporter: IT ALSO MEANS THERE

FANS GET TO SEE MEANING THAT 
EVEN AS HARRY AND MEGHAN WERE TO
MOVE TO CANADA, THEY MAY REMAIN 
AS ILLUSIVE AS EVER.

TWO MASSIVE FIRES MERGED TO 
CREATE WHAT THEY'RE CALLING A

THE GOVERNMENT IS URGING PEOPLE 
TO REMAIN ON HIGH ALERT.
THESE FIRES BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER

IN DEATHS.
DEATHS OF NOT JUST PEOPLE, BUT 
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF ANIMALS.
MANY PEOPLE IN THIS CROWD ARE 
SAYING THAT IT IS IN PART THE 
RESULT OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
NOT THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS 
SOMEHOW SPARKING THESE FIRES 
WHICH ARE NORMAL WITHIN 
AUSTRALIAN LIFE, BUT THAT 
CLIMATE CHANGE HAS CREATED THE 
CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH IT IS 
MUCH EASIER FOR THE FIRES TO 
BURN, TO BURN LONGER AND HOTTER.
TO BURN ALMOST WITHOUT ALMOST 
BEING ABLE TO BE STOPPED.
THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT IS ON THE
FRONT LINES RIGHT NOW WHERE
