[00:59:20] To truly understand a news story, you need to connect with the people in the moment.
[00:59:24] Everybody's in panic mode, witnessing their struggles and
[00:59:28] resilience.
[00:59:30] I'm OK. This is really my last hurrah. Investigating and
[00:59:33] digging for the fact it's actually a picture of me and
[00:59:36] her, you know? See. Yeah, you can see that for sure.
[00:59:40] That's on her tombstone to get you answers. That's your friend
[00:59:43] and that's you.
[00:59:45] I'm Adrian Arseneau. This is the National Canada's newscast.
[01:00:07] We're we're all about explaining and expanding Stream
[01:00:11] anytime. CBC News.
[01:00:21] I'm Adrian Arceneaux, chief correspondent for CBC News. Here's what's making news right now.
[01:02:18] EMERGING FROM THE AUTHORITIES IN THE UAE WHO ARE LEADING THIS
[01:02:23] THE UAE WHO ARE LEADING THIS INVESTIGATION. INVESTIGATION. IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST TIME THEY
[01:02:26] IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE USED THE WORD TERRORISM IN
[01:02:27] HAVE USED THE WORD TERRORISM IN RELATION TO THIS INCIDENT.
[01:02:30] ACCORDING TO REUTERS AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE UAE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE UAE PROSECUTOR GENERAL SAID THE
[01:02:33] PROSECUTOR GENERAL SAID THE COPILOT OF FLY DUBAI 1073 TRY TO
[01:02:37] COPILOT OF FLY DUBAI 1073 TRY TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE PLANE AND TAKE CONTROL OF THE PLANE AND CARRY OUT A TERRORIST ATTACK
[01:02:40] CARRY OUT A TERRORIST ATTACK WHICH WE NOW KNOW WAS THWARTED
[01:02:42] WHICH WE NOW KNOW WAS THWARTED BY THE PASSENGERS WHO INTERVENE.
[01:02:48] BY THE PASSENGERS WHO INTERVENE. INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL COMBING INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL COMBING THROUGH EVIDENCE AND WORKING TO
[01:02:52] THROUGH EVIDENCE AND WORKING TO ESTABLISH A MOTIVE. ESTABLISH A MOTIVE. THE UAE HASN'T NAMED THE SUSPECT
[01:02:55] THE UAE HASN'T NAMED THE SUSPECT BUT MULTIPLE MEDIA OUTLETS BUT MULTIPLE MEDIA OUTLETS HAVE.
[01:02:58] HAVE. THEY SAY HE IS A NATIONAL OF
[01:03:01] THEY SAY HE IS A NATIONAL OF OMAN. OMAN. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAYS HE HAD
[01:03:05] THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAYS HE HAD PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR OMAN AIR PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR OMAN AIR BUT HAD BEEN REMOVED OF A -- AS
[01:03:09] BUT HAD BEEN REMOVED OF A -- AS A PILOT BECAUSE OF HIS EXTREMIST A PILOT BECAUSE OF HIS EXTREMIST VIEWS.
[01:03:13] VIEWS. THAT LEAVES BIG QUESTIONS FOR THAT LEAVES BIG QUESTIONS FOR FLY DUBAI ABOUT HOW THEY VETTED
[01:03:16] FLY DUBAI ABOUT HOW THEY VETTED HIM AND HOW HE WAS ALLOWED TO HIM AND HOW HE WAS ALLOWED TO FLY ON A ROUTE TO ISRAEL.
[01:03:19] FLY ON A ROUTE TO ISRAEL. ISRAEL DOES NOT ALLOW PILOTS
[01:03:21] ISRAEL DOES NOT ALLOW PILOTS INTO ITS AIRSPACE IF THEY COME
[01:03:24] INTO ITS AIRSPACE IF THEY COME FROM COUNTRIES THAT DON'T HAVE FROM COUNTRIES THAT DON'T HAVE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL
[01:03:27] DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL AND THAT INCLUDES OMAN. AND THAT INCLUDES OMAN. THE UAE'S PROSECUTOR GENERAL
[01:03:31] THE UAE'S PROSECUTOR GENERAL ALSO REVEALED THE WEAPON THAT ALSO REVEALED THE WEAPON THAT WAS USED.
[01:03:34] WAS USED. IT WAS A CRASH ASK.
[01:03:35] IT WAS A CRASH ASK. WE CAN SHOW YOU WHAT IT CAN LOOK
[01:03:38] WE CAN SHOW YOU WHAT IT CAN LOOK LIKE. LIKE. THIS IS THE ONE FROM THE FLY THIS IS THE ONE FROM THE FLY DUBAI PLANE.
[01:03:42] DUBAI PLANE. IT ILLUSTRATES WHAT KIND OF IT ILLUSTRATES WHAT KIND OF WEAPON WAS USED.
[01:03:45] WEAPON WAS USED. THEY ARE FOUND IN THE COCKPITS
[01:03:47] THEY ARE FOUND IN THE COCKPITS OF PLANES FOR EMERGENCIES. OF PLANES FOR EMERGENCIES. IF A PLANE OR TO CRASH AND THE
[01:03:51] IF A PLANE OR TO CRASH AND THE DOORS OR WINDOWS WERE STUCK THAN DOORS OR WINDOWS WERE STUCK THAN A CRASH ASK COULD BE USED TO
[01:03:55] A CRASH ASK COULD BE USED TO BREAK THEM DOWN AND HELP PILOTS
[01:03:56] BREAK THEM DOWN AND HELP PILOTS ESCAPE THE COCKPIT.
[01:04:00] ESCAPE THE COCKPIT. IT COULD BE REVIEWED AFTER THIS
[01:04:04] IT COULD BE REVIEWED AFTER THIS INCIDENT.
[01:04:07] INCIDENT. IT BECAME THE PRACTICE AFTER
[01:04:09] IT BECAME THE PRACTICE AFTER 9/11 BUT AFTER THIS CASE, THE
[01:04:11] 9/11 BUT AFTER THIS CASE, THE PASSENGER SURVIVED AND THE
[01:04:13] PASSENGER SURVIVED AND THE CAPTAIN WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE
[01:04:16] CAPTAIN WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE COCKPIT AND ALLOW THE PASSENGERS COCKPIT AND ALLOW THE PASSENGERS TO COME TO HIS AID.
[01:04:19] TO COME TO HIS AID. IF HE HAD BEEN UNABLE TO DO THAT
[01:04:23] It is absolutely shocking that the people on this plane
[01:04:26] survived.
[01:04:28] Look, this is video taken by a
[01:04:31] passenger. Pure panic onboard fly Dubai flight 1073 after the
[01:04:35] copilot of the plane allegedly stabbed the pilot. The entire
[01:04:40] plane at this point at grave risk of crashing and everyone
[01:04:44] was screaming, there were children crying.
[01:04:47] Except a whole series of things happen. Highly improbable,
[01:04:51] almost impossible, it seems to me
[01:04:55] as a commercial.
[01:05:00] All of these incredible things together end up saving
[01:05:04] everybody's life against all odds. And I'm going to show you
[01:05:07] how
[01:05:12] there were more than 170 people on board this flight,
[01:05:16] which is a daily flight running from Dubai International in the
[01:05:20] United Arab Emirates to Ben Gurion International near Tel
[01:05:24] Aviv in Israel. This is what that flight path normally looks
[01:05:28] like. It's about a three hour flight,
[01:05:30] except on September 30th, things would take a very abrupt
[01:05:34] turn here. But when I say abrupt turn,
[01:05:37] I don't mean left or right, I mean down.
[01:05:40] At around 8:21 AM local time over Saudi airspace,
[01:05:43] the plane lost altitude more than 17,
[01:05:46] 000 feet in under a minute and it speed up dramatically as it
[01:05:51] pitched towards the earth
[01:05:55] Jordanian border. Suddenly the aircraft dropped a massive
[01:05:59] massive turbulence for 2030 seconds. We know now what was
[01:06:03] happening around this time was the planes copilot allegedly
[01:06:07] attacking the planes captain nearly killing him. The
[01:06:11] struggle beginning after he stabbed the other pilot and
[01:06:15] sent the jet plunging thousands of meters in just seconds. At
[01:06:19] this point, with the attacker taking
[01:06:21] control, potentially looking to crash
[01:06:24] the plane, the only way that people on
[01:06:27] board survive is if the captain survives. And improbably,
[01:06:31] he does. This is him, Captain Smith Matcha from India.
[01:06:34] He somehow manages to survive a surprise attack from an armed
[01:06:39] assailant in close quarters while flying a plane. But he's
[01:06:43] down and in a real bad way. One of the passengers,
[01:06:46] a dentist would later tell CNN. Much other suffered massive
[01:06:50] blood loss, was severely wounded. He was
[01:06:53] covered in cuts, his head,
[01:06:55] his hands, they were practically sliced
[01:06:57] open, almost severed in two.
[01:06:59] Historically when 1 pilot turns on the other. There are clear
[01:07:04] examples where this ends in disaster for everybody on board.
[01:07:08] In 2015, Germanwings flight 9525,
[01:07:10] the copilot locks the captain out of the cockpit when he
[01:07:14] leaves to use the bathroom. He then manually steers the plane
[01:07:18] into a rapid descent, crashing into the French Alps.
[01:07:22] Everybody on board dies. Or just a couple years before that,
[01:07:26] in 2013, same thing, except this time it's the
[01:07:29] captain on a flight from Mozambique who locks the
[01:07:32] copilot out of the cockpit. He crashes the plane into a
[01:07:36] National Park in Namibia, once again killing everybody on
[01:07:40] board. But this time, Captain Matcha survives the
[01:07:43] attack from his copilot and manages to do one other
[01:07:46] incredible thing that's single handedly triggers a series of
[01:07:51] events that keep that plane in the air.
[01:07:58] So imagine the copilot is believed to have attacked the
[01:08:02] captain with some sort of stabbing weapon,
[01:08:05] leaves him bleeding on the ground. I've seen multiple
[01:08:09] reports that he was so grievously wounded he was on
[01:08:13] the verge of passing out completely even that he did at
[01:08:16] one point, but just before he did he
[01:08:19] somehow unlocks the cockpit door. They redesigned airplanes
[01:08:23] to, in fact, create
[01:08:25] this impenetrable door between the cabin and the cockpit. That
[01:08:29] door remains locked from the incident. Problem with
[01:08:32] yesterday is that the threat did not come from the cabinet.
[01:08:36] This is the critical point at which the entire arc of this
[01:08:39] crisis pivots. It's where passengers begin to realize not
[01:08:43] just that something has gone terribly wrong,
[01:08:46] but that they can do something about it.
[01:08:49] The plane just started going up and down,
[01:08:52] says 1 passenger. We started hearing screams. The plane,
[01:08:55] according to those on board, nose dived at a sickening angle.
[01:08:59] Overhead bins popped open and luggage flew out. Other
[01:09:03] accounts spoke of incredible G forces almost pinning
[01:09:06] passengers to their seats as the plane itself plunged and
[01:09:10] leveled repeatedly. It was like the craziest Holocaust that you
[01:09:14] ever did, but like, multiplied by
[01:09:17] father. It felt like something really wrong is happening here.
[01:09:21] So for some passengers to have overcome this chaos and to have
[01:09:25] the instinct to burst into the cockpit to see what was wrong,
[01:09:29] Yet another incredible development,
[01:09:32] without which I don't know how this plane survives. Eventually,
[01:09:36] one man bursts in and grabs the assailant, the copilot,
[01:09:40] from behind. Yes,
[01:09:44] the first Beta beta message.
[01:09:50] That's one of the many heroes of this story. By all accounts,
[01:09:54] wrestling control of the plane from the alleged hijacker
[01:09:58] happened very quickly. The dentist I mentioned earlier,
[01:10:02] he says he tied the attacker up using headphone cords and
[01:10:05] plastic zip ties. He then started tending to the wounded
[01:10:09] pilot. He was in serious condition, not critical,
[01:10:12] perhaps, but serious due to the massive
[01:10:15] blood loss. And that would have looked like
[01:10:19] and a warn you this is the most graphic part of the story
[01:10:22] because it's at this point we have video of the state of the
[01:10:26] lanes captain as he's lying injured on the floor.
[01:10:30] But this was the scene you're looking at. 2 bloodied pilots
[01:10:34] on the floor on this passenger jet in mid air,
[01:10:37] passengers holding one of them down,
[01:10:40] treating the other. The reason I show that to you is because I
[01:10:44] want you to understand how unreal this all would have felt
[01:10:48] to everybody on board. And yet we have yet another improbable
[01:10:52] act from the very same passenger who claims to have
[01:10:56] subdued the attacker in the 1st place. He single handedly pulls
[01:11:00] the plane out of its nose dive.
[01:11:03] Uh,
[01:11:06] yeah.
[01:11:08] He would later reveal he learned that move from TV shows
[01:11:12] pulling on the pilot steering column,
[01:11:14] the yoke to pitch the planes nose up. They actually pull up
[01:11:18] the stick the the airplane stick. The plane was decreasing
[01:11:22] in very, very sharp angle. It is a
[01:11:24] tricky maneuver, you know, not normal or a commercial
[01:11:27] airliner to be in that flight position to be nose down at 600
[01:11:31] miles an hour. But even all this,
[01:11:33] as improbable as it all is put together,
[01:11:36] only leads to yet another impossible question.
[01:11:40] How do you land a plane when you have no pilot?
[01:11:48] In a normal emergency, if such a thing even exists,
[01:11:52] the pilot is doing more than just flying the plane and
[01:11:55] landing it. They are the planes eyes and ears,
[01:11:59] navigating weather patterns, how much fuel they've got left,
[01:12:03] and which runways are even available and safe. There was
[01:12:07] nothing but desert beneath US1 passenger told CNN. We feared
[01:12:11] being taken to an enemy country or landing in the middle of the
[01:12:15] desert. We didn't know who to trust. Now,
[01:12:18] if this were a Hollywood movie, the scripted stroke of luck
[01:12:22] here would be that someone on board is simply bold enough to
[01:12:26] do something like land a plane that they've never done before
[01:12:30] and it just happens to work out. But in real life,
[01:12:34] there just happened to be another set of pilots on board,
[01:12:38] an off duty British pilot along with another, together,
[01:12:41] a pair of relief pilots who were meant to fly the next
[01:12:45] flight
[01:12:46] was fortunate that they were on an airplane that had this extra
[01:12:51] deadheading crew, as we call it. You know,
[01:12:53] but to actually jump into a pilot seat when you've got
[01:12:57] another pilot next to you that potentially was suicidal and
[01:13:01] the captain of the aircraft neutralized as well was
[01:13:05] absolutely heroic action. Those 2 pilots took control of the
[01:13:09] plane, diverted to an airport not in
[01:13:12] Israel where they were originally going,
[01:13:14] but in nearby Saudi Arabia instead.
[01:13:17] Which interestingly is a country Israel has no formal
[01:13:21] diplomatic relations with, but that years ago did open its
[01:13:25] airspace. 2 passenger planes flying to and from Israel. So
[01:13:29] they had control of the plane and a safe runway to land on.
[01:13:33] But there was still one more problem. The plane was badly
[01:13:37] damaged. When I saw the images of the aircraft on the ground
[01:13:41] with the rudder section torn out,
[01:13:43] I immediately had a cold chill. If you've ever looked at the
[01:13:47] back of a plane,
[01:13:49] you know what that vertical tail looks like. But what's a
[01:13:52] little more subtle than that is the rudder,
[01:13:55] which is this movable flap that controls the side to side
[01:13:58] swinging of the lanes nose. It's basically stabilizing the
[01:14:02] plane. If you RIP that out, as you can see in these photos
[01:14:05] here of this fly Dubai flight shortly after emergency landing,
[01:14:09] you have two problems. 1 is that you're possibly bleeding
[01:14:13] hydraulic fluid out all over the place,
[01:14:15] which affects a whole bunch of other systems on the plane. But
[01:14:19] two,
[01:14:20] landing becomes more dangerous. Letters are the key element of
[01:14:23] aircraft stability, particularly at landing. And in
[01:14:27] this case the runner was not there. The airplane went
[01:14:30] through extensive aerodynamic shot. All of the experts I've
[01:14:34] heard on this believe it was the planes nosedive. We
[01:14:37] mentioned at the start that sudden steep descent that
[01:14:41] likely applied enormous aerodynamic forces to the tail,
[01:14:44] enough to RIP that part of the rudder right off. But somehow
[01:14:48] those two relief pilots
[01:14:50] managed to land the plane regardless,
[01:14:56] so now investigators have their work cut out for them. Why did
[01:15:00] this copilot hijack the plane, and what was he trying to do?
[01:15:04] Did he improvise the weapon he used,
[01:15:07] or did he smuggle it on board? And Speaking of getting on
[01:15:10] board, should intelligence or law
[01:15:13] enforcement officers have known to apprehend him before he got
[01:15:17] on that plane? Those answers will hopefully
[01:15:20] come with time, but all we know now is that
[01:15:23] this plane load of passengers somehow pulled off the
[01:15:26] impossible. The captain surviving A devastating attack,
[01:15:30] managing with his last sliver of consciousness to open the
[01:15:33] cockpit door, allowing passengers undergoing
[01:15:36] extreme G forces to storm that cockpit, subdue the attacker,
[01:15:40] pull the plane out of the nosedive just in time. And then
[01:15:44] they just happened to have a pair of pilots on hand who
[01:15:47] grabbed the controls, find a safe runway to land on,
[01:15:50] and manage to do so with a severely damaged rudder in a
[01:15:54] plane that no inspector would ever consider airworthy.
[01:15:57] I don't know what you call that, but as terrible and traumatic
[01:16:02] as it was for everyone involved, those folks undeniably got very,
[01:16:07] very lucky.
[01:19:09] The governor has entrusted my office with this investigation
[01:19:13] and we do not take that responsibility lightly. That's
[01:19:16] New York's attorney general now in charge of the investigation
[01:19:20] into an alleged gang rape at Cornell University. The alleged
[01:19:24] 2024 crime at a frat house at the Ivy League school is
[01:19:27] drawing outrage from around the world. New York's governor has
[01:19:31] appointed Letitia James to take the lead after saying she has
[01:19:35] lost faith in how the case has been handled. For many
[01:19:39] Canadians, the details of the Cornell case
[01:19:41] may sound familiar. Legal experts
[01:19:43] pointed out the parallels between it and the 2018 Hockey
[01:19:47] Canada case that was settled last year. So to dig deeper
[01:19:50] into what these similarities reveal has turned to Gillian
[01:19:53] Nature. She is a lawyer who has represented victims of sexual
[01:19:57] violence. Julian, appreciate you coming in and
[01:20:00] talk to us. Thank you. Appreciate the invitation. So
[01:20:03] you told CBC that this is more than a coincidence with the
[01:20:06] details we know so far. What do these cases have in common?
[01:20:10] I think that the parallels are overwhelming when you really
[01:20:13] just pair it back.
[01:20:15] They both started as nights out for young people. There was
[01:20:19] alcohol involved and started with a consensual encounter
[01:20:23] between two young people, but quickly spiraled out of
[01:20:26] control when a young woman found herself in a room heavily
[01:20:30] intoxicated and a young man, unbeknownst to her,
[01:20:34] invited a chat chat group full of men to come in and have sex
[01:20:38] with her. And I think that's in some ways just where the
[01:20:42] parallels begin. And so that's where the parallels
[01:20:46] again, and then they continue from,
[01:20:48] from what we know. You think I, I mean,
[01:20:51] I think that that the way that both victims,
[01:20:54] from what I understand, responded to what they endured
[01:20:58] in the aftermath are also strikingly similar and will
[01:21:02] sound extremely familiar to any woman who's ever endured any
[01:21:07] kind of sexual assault. I see this all the time in my
[01:21:11] practice where at first there's often a denial that sets in or
[01:21:16] desire to sort of
[01:21:17] minimize, normalize, regularize, believe you can put it behind
[01:21:21] you and just move on with your life. And as you process that
[01:21:25] experience and as the trauma becomes sort of too large
[01:21:29] internally to ignore, that is when the allegations
[01:21:33] come forth. Unfortunately, when you're dealing with legal
[01:21:37] allegations sort of that, that initial psychological
[01:21:40] response is so often used against these women. And when
[01:21:44] they do report
[01:21:46] laws different in Canada and the US,
[01:21:49] when it comes to all of that that you just laid out there,
[01:21:52] they're largely the same. New York has one particular
[01:21:56] exception, which is that,
[01:21:59] and I am not a New York lawyer, but if you consume alcohol
[01:22:03] voluntarily, then you cannot raise
[01:22:05] intoxication as something vitiated your consent shy of
[01:22:09] being blackout drunk. And to speak candidly,
[01:22:12] I think that's insane. It's the ultimate in a sort of blame the
[01:22:16] victim piece of legislation where essentially you're saying
[01:22:20] to young women, well, if you go out and get drunk,
[01:22:24] even though you're of age and it's legal to consume alcohol
[01:22:28] problem, that's your
[01:22:29] problem. You are responsible for what happens to you
[01:22:32] thereafter. Wow, OK. That that is a key
[01:22:34] difference. I did not realize both OEM and Jane Doe,
[01:22:37] they chose to pursue civil cases rather than criminal ones.
[01:22:40] Tell us why that that's significant. I think it's again
[01:22:43] in the in the hockey case. That's right. Of course,
[01:22:46] there's a different standard of proof. And so when you report
[01:22:49] allegations to the police and they choose to prosecute,
[01:22:52] they have to prove those allegations beyond a reasonable
[01:22:55] doubt. That's an incredibly high standard,
[01:22:58] very difficult to overcome. And so in all the hand wringing
[01:23:01] we've done over the years about how to secure better conviction
[01:23:05] rates and sexual assault, you know,
[01:23:07] the the criminal system does what it's intended to do. It's
[01:23:11] not a truth seeking process. It is designed to rigorously test
[01:23:15] evidence and decide if there's sufficient evidence to deprive
[01:23:19] somebody of their liberty in a criminal context. Civil cases
[01:23:22] sort of weigh the allegations and decide what is more likely
[01:23:26] than not true. And so all of the information that's come out
[01:23:30] with the text change both
[01:23:32] the night of and after the fact, which is which is the number.
[01:23:36] Another parallel between the Hockey Canada case and the
[01:23:39] Cornell case. People will be questioned on those. You get
[01:23:43] the fuller picture. And so it is very common for victims to
[01:23:46] pursue civil cases. What do you make of what we were learning
[01:23:50] today where a special prosecutor has been appointed
[01:23:54] to look into this Governor held a news conference and and where
[01:23:58] this may be going next? I think it's all the people in
[01:24:01] authority trying to
[01:24:03] Telegraph that they are taking these situations seriously. I
[01:24:07] don't have high hopes for our prosecution in the Cornell case,
[01:24:11] just like, candidly, I didn't have high hopes for a
[01:24:15] prosecution in the Hockey Canada case. Again,
[01:24:18] because you see these young women coping in this situation
[01:24:23] by fawning, by pleasing, by trying to, you know,
[01:24:26] avoid creating an immediate conflict that could potentially
[01:24:31] jeopardize their physical safety
[01:24:33] and by normalizing after the fact. And that's going to be
[01:24:36] the kiss of death when it comes to proving allegations beyond a
[01:24:40] reasonable doubt. Jillian, it was good of you to come in
[01:24:43] and talk to us about an important story. Thank you.
[01:24:46] Jillian Nachu is a lawyer and legal expert in gender based violence.
[01:26:56] The story of 10s of thousands of Ukrainian children who have
[01:27:00] been abducted to Russia, given new families and new
[01:27:03] names,
[01:27:05] subjected to heavy indoctrination and even
[01:27:08] military training to turn them into Russian soldiers. For
[01:27:12] years we have been fighting to bring our children home. So
[01:27:16] it's horrible, horrible situation and
[01:27:19] childhood has an expiration date. How Canada is leading an
[01:27:23] international effort to help. Want to be clear at the outset
[01:27:28] of who's responsible? Putin has stolen Ukrainian
[01:27:33] children.
[01:27:36] Russia's campaign to steal Ukrainian children began back
[01:27:40] in 2014, when Putin first used Russian
[01:27:42] soldiers in unmarked uniforms to take over the Crimean
[01:27:46] Peninsula.
[01:27:48] Daria to Machova and Matt Fichas were children in Crimea
[01:27:52] at that time, but have a clear memory of the
[01:27:55] event.
[01:27:56] So you bought the dinner. Despite the fact that I was a
[01:28:00] child, I still understood and I
[01:28:01] understood that something terrible is happening,
[01:28:04] that this is not just a change in the law,
[01:28:07] but it's actually an occupation. It is really a great military
[01:28:11] crime. They said to us, you're Russian now,
[01:28:14] You lived all of your life in Russia. A lot of stuff changed.
[01:28:18] We start to learn Russian anthem at school,
[01:28:21] learn Russian songs, learn Russian poems,
[01:28:24] Scotian Rockham. Every year indoctrination became worse and
[01:28:29] worse. It was constant. It was in the textbooks. It was also
[01:28:33] in our free time. It was both at school,
[01:28:35] on the street and on TV.
[01:28:39] Russia's child stealing campaign became even more
[01:28:42] pronounced after the full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
[01:28:47] Rostislav, from the Herson region,
[01:28:49] was 16 when Russian soldiers occupied his hometown. He was
[01:28:53] interviewed by UA TV in Ukraine.
[01:28:58] I went out and at first I was scared. They said you're being
[01:29:01] sent away to study. I told them I did not want to,
[01:29:04] that I'd rather stay home. After I said that,
[01:29:06] a soldier pointed his rifle at me and said pack your things,
[01:29:09] you're leaving now.
[01:29:11] Many Ukrainian children were herded into military style
[01:29:15] camps in Russia, where they faced relentless
[01:29:17] indoctrination.
[01:29:20] We had to stand for the Russian anthem,
[01:29:22] listen to them go on about how great Russia was,
[01:29:24] and if I didn't sing the Russian anthem,
[01:29:26] I was punished. They'd take you and put you in an isolation
[01:29:30] cell.
[01:29:31] As the children got older, the military training
[01:29:36] intensified. A military training started from my 6th
[01:29:41] grade. We have loading, reloading weapons. Of course,
[01:29:46] as we have March courses, we go to military camps and we
[01:29:52] have our uniform as a guidance
[01:29:56] visco.
[01:29:58] The military training for the boys was to fight with their
[01:30:01] weapons and the girls were involved in medical and
[01:30:04] tactical medicine training. You had to be able to tamp. You had
[01:30:08] to stop the bleeding.
[01:30:10] The wartime abduction of children is a clear crime under
[01:30:14] the Geneva Convention. But Vladimir Putin wasn't trying to
[01:30:17] hide his child kidnapping operation. In fact,
[01:30:20] he was bragging about it.
[01:30:24] He met frequently and publicly with Maria Lavrova Belova,
[01:30:28] the Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children's
[01:30:31] Rights, who was in charge of the
[01:30:33] abduction Operation Lavovi Belova had herself filmed
[01:30:37] leading groups of Ukrainian children onto aircraft and
[01:30:40] occupied eastern Ukraine, and she personally adopted one
[01:30:44] of them herself. She noticed that many of them were very pro
[01:30:48] Ukrainian and anti Putin.
[01:30:51] Just thought they spoke badly about the president,
[01:30:54] said nasty things and sang Ukraine's anthem. This stupid
[01:30:58] Ukrainian. She even complained that one child she personally
[01:31:01] adopted was showing signs of resistance.
[01:31:05] See that he didn't want to live in Russia. He was always on pro
[01:31:09] Ukrainian websites. Whenever I saw it, I'd tell him, listen,
[01:31:12] you're in Russia now, you need to change your
[01:31:15] attitude somehow.
[01:31:17] Many child abduction victims made desperate attempts to
[01:31:20] contact relatives in Ukraine to beg for rescue,
[01:31:24] Bought in your Mohet from Mariupol,
[01:31:26] even sent a videotaped message to President Zelensky. Yeah,
[01:31:31] I bogged in your Mohan ask you, Vladimir Alexandrovich to help
[01:31:35] me return home. Even before turning 18,
[01:31:38] Bogdan had received his draft notice into the Russian army.
[01:31:42] If your man and you turn 18 years old,
[01:31:45] they almost immediately drafted you to Russian army.
[01:31:51] The Save Ukraine Foundation is a non governmental group
[01:31:55] devoted to tracking down and rescuing Ukrainian children.
[01:31:59] This Ukrainian documentary shows how children are often
[01:32:03] given different Russian names and hidden away in rural areas
[01:32:06] of Russia. But to find them, the Save Ukraine Foundation
[01:32:10] uses facial recognition technology to scour the
[01:32:13] Internet for group photos and documents that might reveal
[01:32:16] their location.
[01:32:19] In a rare case, Bogdan your Mohan was released
[01:32:22] from Russia and reunited with his sister in Ukraine.
[01:32:26] The Russians offered to trade. We give them soldiers and they
[01:32:29] give us children. That's beyond comprehension,
[01:32:32] beyond international law.
[01:32:34] Ukrainian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner
[01:32:38] Oleksandra Matvichuk. When I speak about small kid,
[01:32:41] like two or three-year old, it means that Justin
[01:32:45] several months or years, this kid would forget his or
[01:32:49] her real name, his or her real father and
[01:32:53] mother. So it's horrible, horrible situation and
[01:32:56] childhood has an expiration date. Their children from
[01:33:00] occupied territories, they're losing their childhood.
[01:33:05] We lose this children. So we have doubled our efforts to
[01:33:10] save them. Canada to do this. Mikula Kuleba is the founder of
[01:33:14] the Save Ukraine organization. We are running out of time
[01:33:20] for these children
[01:33:22] and we're losing every day someone who taken forcibly to
[01:33:26] Russian army.
[01:33:28] And nobody knows now how thousands of these kids
[01:33:33] were killed on the battlefield at the Russian soldiers,
[01:33:36] and they didn't want to do this.
[01:33:39] In March 2023, the International Criminal
[01:33:42] Court in The Hague issued arrest warrants for Vladimir
[01:33:45] Putin and Maria Lavrova Bulova, charging them with war crimes
[01:33:49] regarding the unlawful deportation and transfer of
[01:33:52] children.
[01:33:55] International war crimes investigator Wayne Jordash says
[01:33:58] it often takes years to build a case against perpetrators,
[01:34:01] but the child abduction case against Putin was an exception.
[01:34:06] He number one signed presidential decree to make
[01:34:10] adoptions easier. He's on video discussing with the
[01:34:14] commissioner for children's rights in Russia about their
[01:34:19] deportations or as he would refer to them as evacuations.
[01:34:23] He provided evidence against himself. And I think the
[01:34:28] evidence related to crimes, which really shocked the public
[01:34:33] conscience. Following years of this week in Toronto,
[01:34:37] Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand hosted
[01:34:41] major international conference on the repatriation of
[01:34:44] Ukrainian children. Canada has committed almost $7 000,
[01:34:48] 000 to the effort, but will it lead anywhere?
[01:34:52] How do you say Putin's role in this?
[01:34:54] Do you hold him personally responsible? Yes,
[01:34:58] he is responsible for the policies that are leading
[01:35:01] Ukrainian children to be stolen from their families,
[01:35:05] indoctrinated and in fact militarized. I'm sure you
[01:35:09] encounter people who say, come on,
[01:35:11] Putin and Lavovi Bellavia are never going to be
[01:35:15] prosecuted. Get real. How do you answer that?
[01:35:19] We are bringing Ukrainian children home. And we are
[01:35:23] getting real by ensuring we do whatever we can to bring these
[01:35:28] children home to their families, ensure that they have a means
[01:35:33] to receive support for the psychological trauma that they
[01:35:37] have endured as a result of indoctrination, indoctrination,
[01:35:42] militarization, and essentially
[01:35:45] the Russian attempt to convert these Ukrainian children into
[01:35:49] members of Russia's war machine. Do you think he'll face justice
[01:35:54] for this?
[01:35:57] My hope is that we ensure the full return of all Ukrainian
[01:36:01] children and every single person who has committed an
[01:36:05] injustice in stealing these children
[01:36:09] face the consequences that international law requires. I'm
[01:36:14] so grateful for Canadian leadership and because Canadian
[01:36:18] government supported us. You've saved 2000 out of 22,
[01:36:22] 000. How do you measure success?
[01:36:26] We have to talk about not only 20,
[01:36:29] 000 officially abducted who have been identified by the
[01:36:32] Ukrainian government. We have to talk about all children who
[01:36:36] trapped in occupation and many families who and children
[01:36:40] who've been brought back from Russia captivity.
[01:36:44] When I ask them what is
[01:36:48] justice for you
[01:36:50] and they're telling I lost everything. I lost my friends,
[01:36:54] my school, my relatives
[01:36:57] and my, my, my town
[01:37:01] and justice for me it just to
[01:37:05] to live in peace in my town with my friends and to go to my
[01:37:11] school with my parents
[01:37:14] and this is justice for these kids.
[01:37:21] Daria and Matvey were both rescued from Russia by the Save
[01:37:25] Ukraine organization and now they have fallen in love and
[01:37:28] married. They were brought to Toronto this week for the
[01:37:31] International Conference and hoped to raise awareness for
[01:37:35] the campaign to save Ukrainian children.

[01:46:36] The youth vote, it seems like every single
[01:46:38] election it's a topic of conversation and this time
[01:46:41] around it's no different. Their youth,
[01:46:43] they are very preoccupied about the cost of living,
[01:46:46] the housing crisis, the rent was going always up. I
[01:46:50] ask young voters to go and vote for change or voters are
[01:46:53] younger. We have to make sure that those people get out and
[01:46:57] vote. But what do actual young adults think and do they feel
[01:47:00] like they're concerns are being addressed during this election
[01:47:04] campaign? I think they should
[01:47:06] include more the the younger people of our province is
[01:47:09] certainly concerning parties. Andrew looked lovely Community
[01:47:13] three, like I need to take public
[01:47:15] transport to go here to go to school and I don't have a house
[01:47:19] yet, so it's stuff that bothers me
[01:47:22] now. The facts speak for themselves. Young people vote
[01:47:25] at much lower rates than other age groups. During Quebec's
[01:47:29] last election in 2022, just over half of the people
[01:47:32] aged 35 and under voted, whereas the turnout rate for
[01:47:36] people aged 65 and plus
[01:47:37] was almost 80%. Young people are also underrepresented in
[01:47:41] Quebec's National Assembly. During this last parliamentary
[01:47:44] session, not a single MNA was under the
[01:47:47] age of 35. So how do you ensure that young people see
[01:47:50] themselves in politics? Well, I think one of these solutions
[01:47:53] is to present more candidates in in places that where they
[01:47:57] have a chance to win and to send more young people at the
[01:48:00] National Assembly. I think that's when people,
[01:48:03] young people will see another young people getting involved
[01:48:07] with themselves.
[01:48:08] I think that's when people will see that they can do a change.
[01:48:11] They can get involved. Now what about getting young people out
[01:48:15] to the polls? Some say going back to the
[01:48:18] basics might be the key. I think we need to be talking
[01:48:21] more about the fact that we have a healthy democracy,
[01:48:24] but that it's not a guarantee. And let's talk to youth as
[01:48:28] young as Grade 5 and 6 about this. Winrow says she's feeling
[01:48:32] hopeful this election campaign, hopeful that the voter turn out
[01:48:35] will be higher than in 2022. Yeah.

[01:51:10] All newborns in New Brunswick can now be vaccinated against
[01:51:13] RSV for free. The province announced it will cover the
[01:51:17] cost of the shot that can run between 200 and $300. We have
[01:51:21] between 6065 hundred babies born in New Brunswick every
[01:51:25] year
[01:51:27] and now, starting October 13th, all babies under 2 will be
[01:51:31] eligible to receive a free RSV immunization during their first
[01:51:35] RSV season. RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus,
[01:51:38] is commonly spread from the fall season to the early spring
[01:51:43] in Canada. Most people feel mild symptoms in the throat and
[01:51:47] lungs, but for some it can cause
[01:51:49] complications like pneumonia, sometimes leading to hospital
[01:51:53] stays. The risk is higher for older and immunocompromised
[01:51:58] patients and babies. It's one of the leading causes of
[01:52:01] respiratory illness in infants and can lead to emergency room
[01:52:05] visits, hospitalization and in some
[01:52:07] cases intensive care treatment. As a physician that's worked in
[01:52:12] our emergency room and seen case with RSV,
[01:52:14] I can tell you that if we can cut those back by significant
[01:52:18] amounts of volume in our emergency departments will go
[01:52:22] down. This is an investment of $3.8 million to protect
[01:52:25] newborns and infants from RSV. This is about
[01:52:28] making sure families have protection when and where they
[01:52:32] need it. The RSV adult vaccine has been free for certain
[01:52:35] seniors in New Brunswick since 2024. Since then,
[01:52:38] those over 60 living in long term care,
[01:52:41] certain other types of care, or those waiting for care can
[01:52:44] get immunized for free. And anyone over 75 years old and
[01:52:48] Indigenous adults over 60 can also get the shot for free.
[01:52:52] Infants who were deemed high risk could get certain RSV
[01:52:55] antibodies. The number of children we would have seen
[01:52:58] admitted to the hospital
[01:53:00] or who present in the ER with RSV symptoms,
[01:53:03] that number will be reduced by 80% because the vaccine will
[01:53:07] now prevent those cases from becoming serious or from those
[01:53:12] illnesses from from taking taking hold. RSV is a
[01:53:15] reportable disease in New Brunswick. According to recent
[01:53:19] public health data. RSV cases are considered low but were
[01:53:24] above average compared to the two last seasons. Babies born
[01:53:28] before the RSV season between April 1st
[01:53:31] in October 12th can now get immunized at public health
[01:53:34] clinics or through their primary care provider. And
[01:53:37] those who will be born later in October into March of next year
[01:53:41] during the RSV season will also be able to get the shot before
[01:53:44] their discharge from the hospital.
[01:53:50] The Chief Public Health Office says the flu and respiratory
[01:53:52] season has arrived early this year. On PEI. It normally comes
[01:53:56] later in the fall, but this year is different.
[01:53:59] It's the earliest that we've ever seen
[01:54:02] this number of cases. We've sometimes had sporadic cases,
[01:54:05] but certainly this number of cases
[01:54:09] last week and also so far this week. So it is an indication it
[01:54:13] is circulating. Morrison says there's already been a couple
[01:54:16] hospitalizations and an outbreak at a long term care
[01:54:19] facility. She says the flu season is different every year.
[01:54:22] Many other parts of the country are in the same position. She
[01:54:26] says one of the best ways to protect yourself is through the
[01:54:30] free vaccine, influenza vaccine. It's not a
[01:54:32] perfect vaccine. It won't protect everyone from getting
[01:54:35] influenza, but it does decrease your risk
[01:54:38] of being hospitalized. It decreases
[01:54:40] the length of time you're ill and it decreases your risk of
[01:54:45] complications like even heart attack, stroke,
[01:54:48] COPD exacerbations. Dr. Morrison says there are also
[01:54:52] vaccines available for COVID and RSV,
[01:54:55] especially for those who are at highest risk of complications.
[01:55:00] We encourage them to be vaccinated as well with COVID
[01:55:04] vaccine and and then the RSV vaccine,
[01:55:07] which was universal last year for those 75
[01:55:10] years of age and older and those 60 to 74 with certain
[01:55:14] risk factors, it's also available. In
[01:55:16] addition to getting vaccinated, Dr. Morrison says you can
[01:55:20] protect yourself and others by washing your hands and coughing
[01:55:24] into your sleeve. If you're sick,
[01:55:26] stay home. And if your child is unwell or has a fever,
[01:55:30] they shouldn't go to school. You can get the flu,
[01:55:33] COVID and RSV vaccine at public health nursing clinics across
[01:55:37] PEI and some family physicians, nurse practitioners,
[01:55:41] pharmacies are offering the flu and COVID vaccine.
