need more police officers? So this is it. >> Welcome to the Greenbelt. [missles fire] >> It is now believed the Titan was destroyed. >> It makes sense that they get a larger share. Or does it? >> All of this just [indiscernible]. >> Yes. >> What do we know? How is that even possible? Well, with a little bit of help, I think we can explain it. >> Announcer:About That with Andrew Chang. Watch free onCBC Gem. [GPS locator beeping] Okay, right this way. [Suzuki] Dr. Lana Ciarniello and field assistant Taylor Greene track a mortality signal from the GPS collar worn by Raven, one of the rewilded grizzly triplets that recently emerged from hibernation. [Ciarniello] There's more there. Like, look at all this hair. There's the hair there, there's the hair there. There's clumps of it everywhere. There, there. [Suzuki] They have come across a trail of bear fur. [Ciarniello] Let's follow it. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... [exhales] There's a dead bear right there, I see it. Yeah, I see it, it's a dead bear. [Suzuki] The condition of her remains makes it clear... [Ciarniello] She's been hammered by another bear. [Suzuki] ...that Raven was likely predated on by an adult bear. [Ciarniello] Bears eat each other, and one of the things that's typical of bear kill is that they invert the hide. They peel back-- it's like peeling open a banana. The hide is actually turned inside out. That is typical bear. Well, Raven, you fed someone. [camera shutter clicks] I was really happy for these bears. They passed the first level of success, but you know, if they die, then that's data, too. And so... when I found Raven, like, I didn't feel sad. I'm sorry, I sorta felt, like, um, okay... this was her fate. I'm really happy that we were able to find out her fate. It's information that we can now use to put to a better cause. Like, the study is on survival and what we think happened... ...and I think we have pieced this together as absolutely best we can. I think we're done. [Suzuki] Now there's one more collar to locate. It's right down here. [Suzuki] Just before Arthur hibernated, his collar broke apart... Yeah, it rotted off. [Suzuki] ...and recently, Isa's collar has stopped transmitting. I'm getting absolutely nothing from Isa. [Suzuki] There's now no remote means for Lana to track Isa and Arthur, the last two surviving bears in her grizzly-rewilding study. Where we're at is confusing right now. Are we going to try to somehow recollar them and get them back online, or are we going to let 'em go? It just looked like a chunk of log until its head lifted. [Marriott] My goal coming here is trying to see if Arthur or Isa are still surviving. That's really key to knowing if this rehab has continued to be successful. If we're lucky enough to spot either Arthur or Isa, I will just be thrilled to see them doing something wild. You know, eating sedge grass, grabbing some barnacles or some mussels, anything like that, just some natural behaviour. I just want to lay eyes on them, and be able to go, "Oh, my gosh! I saw them!" [Suzuki] When grizzlies move into to the estuaries in the spring, it's a prime time for boat-based bear-viewing. [Marriott] We've been going 10, 15 kilometres back and forth and back and forth... No sign of Arthur, Isa. [Marriott] ...scanning all these different estuaries and sedge flats. [Suzuki] Because spring has just passed, John may have come a little too late. Hey, bear! [Marriott] We came out here hoping that the bears were still going to be eating sedge grass in the estuary. Hey, bear! [Marriott] We found fresh salmon berries all along the river and in the forest. Well, that's not good. Salmon berries are totally ripe, so that means that the bears are probably going to be in here eating salmon berries instead of out in the estuary where we can see them eating sedge grass. That's not good for our chances. I'm not going to lie. It's a long shot that we're even going to find these bears. [Suzuki] At dawn the next day, John heads out on one last search. [Marriott] We headed towards the first estuary, took a look... ...and there was nothing, and then sort of just slumped down and was sort of half paying attention. [whispers] Oh, my gosh, is that him?

Okay, he's up on the grass. Ah, he's running away from us. Dang. You know, I'm pretty sure its Arthur just from colour alone, like, he's such a distinct-looking bear. Oh, oh, I just saw him again, there. [whispering] There he is up on the log. Oh, look at that. [camera shutter clicking] Okay, I can clearly see his ear tag. Arthur looked amazing. Beautiful size, he had a bit of plumpness to him. He's obviously doing a good job of being a bear. He just picked up a dead bird of some kind. [Marriott] As we came in closer, there were a couple times where he looked out at us, and we were still pretty far away, you know, 250 metres, and he would look out, and he'd watch us for a little while. [camera shutter clicking] He's so occupied. Let's see if we can creep in just a bit more. As we crept in a bit closer where he slowly just decided, you know what, I have had enough of you humans, and he immediately turned and started walking away. He then started to run, just like a wild bear would, and to me, that was a really great sign to see that he is acting exactly like a bear should be acting. [Angelika] When I saw the photo of Arthur, I literally screamed with joy. My husband came running, and was all concerned what had happened. It was such a good feeling to see him there, and looking good, having gained weight from the last time that we saw him. Seeing Arthur after this length of time, it's a big step in the program, and gives it more weight to be considered by others. [Griujs] Let's move her over. Can you grab her hand? [Suzuki] The rewilding team prepare to release the next batch of yearlings, building on the lessons learned from Muwin, Cedar, Raven, Isa, and Arthur. [Angelika] Oh, I think the study is hugely helpful. Not only has it given us some strong data, but it also gives us, in the scientific community, a footprint that others can work on and go forward from. Long-term survival is still the one that we don't know about, and that we still have to work on. [Ciarniello] It would be really nice to have long-term data, that's what the project was set up to get. So, I would love to be able to re-collar Arthur and Isa so that we can monitor them until their end survival point. I know it seems heartless and a bit emotionless, but I really just want to get to the truth of whether rewilding works or not. Then, we can look at how to tweak it and make it better, or we can look at the fact that, okay, we're doing this because, as humans, it makes us feel good. [Griujs] After two years of this rewilding project, we're still learning with every bear we put out there, and even the ones that don't make it, it will only give us more motivation to do better next time, and see what we can do to make them more successful out there. [Angelika] The incident with Muwin last year that cost her life was very upsetting to all of us, and we immediately set about to find different ways of releasing the bears safely. [Suzuki] The yearlings are now tranquilized just once at the shelter, then transported fully awake in newly-designed crates. These can be slung directly to the release site, then remotely opened. [door mechanism whirring] [Angelika] They're right there, bright and alert, and ready to go out into the world. We still know that these bears face numerous challenges out there. We still know that some of them, or a percentage of them, will not make it out there... ...but it's an incredible feeling to set a healthy animal free... ...and giving them that chance.

At least they get this chance. Without the program, they wouldn't have it at all. Great. Top-notch. [ ] [rock] we're legendary Man: You don't scare me. Look out!

( ) >> Announcer: from cbc news this is "the national" with erica johnson. >> Erica: good evening, ian is away tonight. >>> Passengers aboard a qatar airways flight are recounting a terrifying episode of extreme turbulence that left 12 people injured, the second case of severe turbulence this week. Six passengers and six cabin crew were hurt after the plane hit turbulence en route from dublin to doha. Emergency crews me lost altitude and why it's happening more often. >> It was very scary. It was the worst experience. >> Reporter: shaken, but safe. Qatar airway passengers on a flight from doha to dublin recall turbulence over türkiye. >> People were all over, on the ceiling, everywhere. You would go up in the air and come straight back down. >> There was panic everywhere. >> Reporter: passengers say that the plane seemed to drop suddenly for about five seconds during food and drink service. 12 were injured, eight taken to hospital. This only days after more than 100 singapore airlines passengers were injured when turbulence hit a flight to london over myanmar. One 73-year-old passenger with a heart condition died. >> It can happen very suddenly, without any warning at all. >> Reporter: the national transportation safety board says that turbulence accounts for more than a third of accidents on airplanes and can cause severe injury. >> If you're not strapped in, there's a good chance that you're going to get brain or upper spinal injuries. So even though seatbelt sign is off, while you're seated, keep that belt fastened. >> Reporter:SINGAPORE airlines changed safety rules after tuesday's turbulence to stop serving hot meals and drinks when the seatbelt sign is on. Researchers warn that air turbulence events are increasing and becoming more difficult to predict. >> I do think that we need to continually re-evaluate that in the face of the reality that these things are more frequent and more severe than before. >> Reporter: in a statement to cbc, qatar airways say that the boeing flight is now under internal investigation. Safety and security are their top priority. >> So, yeah, it was just atrocious. Never again. >> Reporter: this man walked away with just torn clothes and questions how he plans to travel next time. Yvette brend, cbc news, vancouver. >> Erica: officials in gaza say that israeli airstrikes hit a tent camp in rafah, killing at least 35 people. A warning here -- the images coming from the scene are graphic and disturbing. [sirens] rescuers scrambled to find survivors at the camp and some victims trapped as fire tore through the area. >>(speaking alternate language). >> Erica: "it burned them," said this man, "it burned a whole neighbourhood. People are still burning." israel says that it is investigating the incident but its target, a hamas compound, was legitimate under international law.

>>> U.n.'s top court ordered israel to halt its offensive in rafah two days ago, but israel says that attacking the city is crucial for defeating hamas. From rafah the militant group launched a barrage of missiles deep enough to trigger air raid sirens in tel aviv. [sirens] the first such attack since january. There were no immediate reports of any deaths or serious injuries. >>> In gaza, medical workers say that the death toll at the tent camp is expected to rise as the search-and-rescue continues. >>> University of toronto students protesting that war are facing a looming deadline -- end the encampment by tomorrow morning or the administration is threatening legal action.

The university is giving demonstrators until monday morning to leave, otherwise, students could be expelled. Staff and faculty fired. The university asking the courts to clear the encampment, but protesters may get reinforcements. Now the ontario federation of labour is putting its weight of one million workers behind the students and staff here, saying that the negotiations must continue in good faith, and without the threat of police intervention. In an open letter to the university, the ofl said, you decide to move against the students, you will have to go through the workers first. >> It is a very big deal and it's a thing that the people have been asking for. And they are grounded in national and international law.le have been asking for. And they are grounded in national and international law. >> Reporter: the orginisation representing several jewish student unions in ontario says that it is past the time for action. >> This is a very intimidating and harassing environment that the universities all across the province have shamefully allowed to continue for far too long. >> Reporter: this week the university of waterloo put its protesters on notice.

Lisa xing, cbc news, toronto. >> Erica: they are looking for for multiple suspects who shot at a jewish girl's elementary school on saturday. >> They exited the vehicle and shot at the school causing damage at the front of the school. >> Erica: no one was injured. Police say that the motivation is not clear yet. But the hate crimes university is helping to investigate.

>>> As many as 670 people are presumed dead in papua new guinea, after a huge landslide swept through remote villages, burying people and homes in its path. Rescuers are racing to free people trapped under debris. The disaster was sparked by an earthquake that hit the northern part of the southern pacific country friday. >>> At least 15 people were killed as violent storms and tornadoes swept across the southern U.S. this weekend, destroying homes and knocking out power to half a million people. Multiple tornadoes touched down in texas, killing at least seven people, including two young children and leaving a trail of destruction. >> When it hit, it was -- it was just so loud. It was like something just crashed into us. >> Erica: powerful storms and twisters also ripped through arkansas and oklahoma, taking lives and flattening homes and businesses. >> Just everything that you had and worked so hard for all of these years is gone. >> Erica: over half a million people across nine states lost power. As warnings about large hail and more tornadoes continue. >>> Donald trump got a rough ride on the campaign trail this weekend, appearing at the libertarian party convention in washington. He was loudly heckleed and booed as he hit the stage. Alison northcott now on what fueled the hostility. >> And I am truly honoured to be invited here tonight. >> Reporter: he may have been invited but it was clear that donald trump was not welcomed by everyone at the libertarian convention on saturday. >> Now I think that you should nominate me or at least vote for me and we should win together. >> Reporter: as trump sought support, he faced boos and jeers, but struck back too. >> You know, only do that if you want to win -- if you want to lose, don't do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years. >> Reporter: the libertarian party believes in limited government and more individual freedoms, values that trump has championed, but some libertarians distrust trump over his covid policies and adding to the national debt. >> He's going to say anything that he can to get more votes and push more people in his direction. >> I'm very, very happy to be here today. >> Reporter: another presidential hopeful, independent candidate robert f. Kennedy jr., spoke at the convention friday, criticising trump and biden's pandemic policies. As americans prepare for a trump-biden rematch in this fall's presidential election, both candidates have to contend with R.F.K. jr. And the risk that he could dilute their support in key battleground states. >> This is shaping up to be another extraordinarily close presidential election. >> Reporter:THIS political science professor says that trump's appearance shows that he's looking to win over any support that he can as he and biden look at the kennedy campaign with trepidation. >> For biden, they're worried that kennedy will appeal to old-school democrats who have fond memories of kennedy's father and his brother, president john f. Kennedy. But from the trump campaign, they're worried that this is somebody who is running on anti-vaccine sentiment, who is running on the host of sort of conspiracy theory ideas that are very appealing to a lot of folks on the right. >> Erica:AND, alison, after a busy weekend of campaigning, trump's legal issues will keep him busy in the days ahead? >> Reporter: yes, erica, and for weeks he had to juggle his stops with court appearances at his criminal trial in new york and he'll be back in court on tuesday for closing arguments over whether he falsified the business records to cover up payments to conceal an alleged sexual encounter with stormy daniels, allegations that trump denies. The judge will then instruct the jury before deliberations can begin. >> Erica: okay, we'll be watching. Alison northcott in washington tonight.
