CBCN - Wednesday, May 22, 2024 - 12:00 a.m. (ET) - Segment #28

Those wide, shapeless jeans... that hair thing with the uh teeth. In the 2000s, you were all doing this. So we did this. In 2020, the race for toilet paper was won here. Whatever was happening, we made it happen - for less. 30 years later, we still are. ( ) >>The Great Canadian Baking Showis back. >> It's time to get whisked away into a magical tent. >> Whisked away? I see what you did there. It has begun. >> Alan, please don't start with a - >> Donut. >> - pun competition. >> I got my eyes on the pies. Her particular skill set can be helpful to us. -She's a con artist. I need to get off that boat and back to being a full time detective. And you need to stay out of prison. The best way we do that is to keep our heads down and do as we're told. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Owning an NHL team. Penguins head office went through your offer and it looks good. Wow.

[he chuckles] Get me on the phone with Copps Coliseum, tell them I want to buy it. [upbeat rock] >>> Our top story, the families of several women held hostage by hamas released video of them in captivity. We have reaction and the pressure on israeli governments. >>> More on quebecor. >>> The families of five female hostages released the videos of abduction on october 7th. The video is three minutes long and edited to move the most graphic content. We're going to show some of it. The a warning. You may find the video disturbing. [speaking alternate language] >> Andrew: body cameras worn by hamas militants captured the video. The families of the young women hope the video puts pressure on israeli prime minister netanyahu to secure their release from gaza. The journalist in jerusalem joins me live. Can you take us through the video. What do we see? >> Interview: we see things of chaos. Really, we see young women. Their hands tied behind their backs. Some shelter. And you could see it's terrifying. As a woman watching myself, the restricting things is comments by the attacks, one of the them says to the girls, you're beautiful. He says to one of his friends, these of the women we can get pregnant. You know what the woman are terrified of. You know what you would be terrified of. This is the sensitive version where we don't see too much. >> Andrew: why did the families of these hostages decide to release this video? >> Interview: there were 22 girls. 16 died, seven taken hostages. One hostage was released. A body brought back. Five girls have been there 229 days. The families of the hostages do not feel enough is being done. The hostage family released a statement saying -- I'm quoting here, it's an indictment of the failure first of all on the 7th of october. There hasn't been a hostage negotiation for more than two weeks. More than that, it's not the government or the war cabinet hasn't met to discuss the hostage situation for days now. I think that's why they made this decision. I heard the parents talking about it. They said it was very difficult to make the decision. It was very difficult for them to watch this video, because other hostages who had been released, female hostages, describe sexual assault. So you know what they're fearing. And you know that there's a basis for them to fear it without hearing what those attackers said from the experience of other hostages. They think it's urgent to get these hostages out and they do not feel their government is doing enough. That's why they've released the statement. >> Andrew: thank you, irris makler, live in jerusalem.

>>> Ireland, spain and norway plan to recognise palestinian state as of tuesday. >> It's a statement of unequivocal support for a two-state solution. The only credible path to peace and security for israel, for palestine and for their peoples. >> Israel ordered the immediate recall of its ambassadors to ireland, spain, and norway. The white house was also quick to react. A spokesperson said while the president supports a two-state solution, he believes it could be achieved through negotiations and not unilateral declarations. >>> Norway's recognition of a palestinian state is especially significant. It was instrumental in the negotiation of the oslo accords in 1993, which created the palestinian author. Espen barth eido spoke with cbc news. >> Norway and spain, ireland has been working for the two-state solution for palestine. We think the recognition would happen at the end. We have changed our view on that. We think that like many other countries in the world, we need to strengthen the position of forces in palestine and palestine authorities and P.L.O. and the people who many years ago see this violence and said they would now follow. These are the people we support by this recognition. And we think it's a on impetus to lifting the region of a two-state solution. Again, in the south, it will not change the situation on the ground. It's part and it's right to play the card now. I would like to say that I had the opportunity to recognise the development in canadian policy here as well. For instance, the u.n., canada used to vote against. Now they went to abstain. That's a move when it comes to palestine membership in the U.N. under the leadership of prime minister trudeau and jolie, there has been an attempt to celebrate canada's policies more with european position, which I most welcome. This is difficult for all of us. There are dilemmas for every country. What I think is unified is the recognition that neither the one-state solution of hamas obviously or the one-state solution of the extreme right, while it's a solution, we need a jewish democratic state to thrive. And in order to thrive, we also need the palestinian state, which is inherent right of the palestinian people to run themselves. We need to get that back on the table. Otherwise the extreme element then will be in charge.

>>> Minister of foreign affairs of norway in oslo. >>> Israel's military granted permission for jewish settlers to return to three former west bank settlements that were shut down in 2005 as part of a so-called disengagement plan that included withdrawing security forces from gaza. The settlements are located around the palestinian cities of genine and nablas. Israel faced significant international pressure to curb settlement expansion in the west bank but has been doing the opposite in recent years. Both canada and the U.S. have levied sanctions meant to curb israeli settler violence. The settlements are considered illegal by palestinians and under international law. Palestinians see the land alongside gaza as part of a future independent state. >>> A deadly brawl in montreal last night resulted in the deaths of three people, including a 15-year-old. We're in montreal and have more. What can you tell us, jennifer, about the altercation and the events that followed? >> Reporter: jacqueline, it happened right here. Police say they came around 7:00 to respond to a brawl. They found three people, as you said, 15, 23, 25, young people in critical condition. They were rushed to the hospital where they were declared dead. I want to zoom out and show you the scene. It's a residential neighbourhood. On a hot day, it's busy with people going to the nearby parks. And we've spoken to some of the people in that particular building that you see right there. That red brick building. They told us about what they witnessed. They told us that they were going about their day. They heard loud noises. They went to the balcony and looked down and saw young people on the ground. Blood on the ground. You could see bloodstains in the parking lot there. Police say that they have not made any arrests yet. They have identified some suspects. They're at the point they're gathering information. Police say there were 15-16 people who were present last night. And they're still identifying exactly who those people are. They also say that some of the suspects are not being cooperative, which makes the process a little bit longer. But ultimately think this is a personal conflict that escalated. And the suspects knew each other. >> Jennifer, this is a string of deadly events that have taken place in montreal recently. What can you tell us about the number of homicides? >> Reporter: there have been seven homicides in ten days in montreal. Police say while it's true that number is higher now than it usually is, they're trying to reassure the public that montreal is still a safe city. I want you to listen to what they had to say earlier today. >> Montreal is safe when you compare it with the big towns in canada, in the united states, it's pretty safe. Like we're 2 million peoples. And we're around like 25, 30, 35 murders. It's too much. But when you compare with other cities, it's pretty safe. >> Reporter: and also to that point, police say they don't think this is gang-related. This is not a turf war. This is what they're calling a chance event. It's not clear if that would make it easier or more difficult for investigators to get to the bottom of what happened here. We'll have to watch and see. Jacqueline. >> Thanks so much. That's jennifer yoon in montreal. >> Andrew: the 10 downing street opened and the british prime minister strolled out to announce the country is going to polls this summer. >> Today, I spoke with the king to request the dissolution of parliament. We'll have the general election the 4th of july. This election will take place at a time when the world is more dangerous than it's been since the end of the cold war. Putin's russia is waging a brutal war in ukraine. And will not stop there if he skits. That war is also made it all too clear the risk to our security. In had the middle east, the forces of extremism threaten regional and global stability. These tensions were exploited by extremists who undermine our values and defy society at home. China is looking to dominate the 21st century by stealing a lead in technology. And migration is being weaponized by hostile states to threaten the integrity of our borders. >> Andrew: the cbc's julia chapman joins me live from our london bureau. Julia, what does this reyn for rishi sunak and connecticutservative party? >> Reporter: it's an uphill party for the conservatives

trailing the labour party by 20 points in most polls. Rishi sunak nevertheless decided this is the moment to declare an election in six-weeks' time. He's looking at economic data on the up. He's pointing to his success getting through a policy to deport migrants coming to this country unofficially to rwanda. He's hoping those political victories as he sees them will be enough to convince the british public to give the conservative party another chance. It's been in power 14 years. He's the fifth conservative party leader to rule, to be the prime minister of this country in that time. As you say, the british public seems hung gather for change. The polls suggesting labour will win also there's a major prettical earthquake. In his speech, acknowledging the starting of the campaign, keir starmer, the labour party leader spoke about the time for change. He said it's the moment the public had been waiting for. The labour party has been pushing for it to happen as early as possible. He put himself forward as a candidate to put britain on a different path. >> We have a long-term plan to rebuild britain. A plan to be costed and fully funded. Most importantly of all, we do all this with a new spirit of service. Country first. Party second. A rejection of the gesture politics you will see in this campaign, I have no doubt, from the tories and S.M.P.s. >> Andrew: so, julia, what are the main issues for voters? >> Reporter: undoubtedly the economy is going to be at the forefront of many voters' minds. Rishi sunak is hoping economic growth and falling inflation will work in his favour. Migration is also a popular subject, particularly for already conservative voters. It may not be one that swings many voters on either side but the state of the healthcare system is in the U.K. is also a concern to many people. Waiting times for appointments have gone up in this country. There have been people waiting in hospitals for many, many hours. To be treated. So that will be another topic that people will be voting on. When it comes to the labour party's policies, the party has put forward a manifesto of sorts. Six main pledges that the labour leader has made. The party has been criticized for being light on detail. It's got six weeks to make its case to the voting public. And trying to convince people that change is needed. And that they should not be voting for the conservative party once again and put their trust in labour. >> Andrew: julia, thank you. The cbc's julia chapman.

You're watching cbc news network. >>The Great Canadian Baking Showis back. >> And the winner is... >> Alan, no, it's too soon for that. [upbeat jazz] >> How about after? >> Give me that. >> Ok, sure.

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. >> If you shopped in a loblaw-owned store, you may have seen mobile shop kiosks. They are independent. They market themselves as not affiliated with any telecom company selling products from seven different carriers saying they don't pick favorites. They work for consumers. Some of their promotional materials. And as you say, they're located across canada. But they are now accused by the head of quebecor of engaging in some behaviour to try to shutout certain carriers from those shops. Pierre carl palado's letter to the minister champaign, has become aware of a new deal that would see these stores in grocery stores, only carry products from rogers and bell. They have worked on a joint venture called glen tell. In the future, it will have a supply contract so the mobile shop only includes fair products and their services. We remember, of course, freedom mobile, the quebecor kind of brand of cell service. It has only been a part of the quebecor for the last year. It was previously part of shaw communications. Shaw had to divest and sell it off as part of its merger with rogers. The intent was for quebecor to run a forced national cell phone carrier that made a equipment to keep prices low in western canada, ontario, to expand 5g infrastructure. To give consumers more choice. But if they're going to be shutout of certain shops, palado's point, will the choice come to pass? Kate it accounts for 5% of the phones and cell phone plans in canada and says because it only has a limited market presence, it doesn't think decisions it might make about its suppliers affects competition in the sector on a national scale. It says it continues to offer a range of options to its customers. But the concern here is that that range has shrunk with this new deal. What are the minister's powers here and what are his limitations? He was stopped on his way to the

liberals' national caucus meeting on parliament hill this morning. >> That's a question for the competition bureau. I think electors should be addressed by the competition bureau. We give them the powers to conduct the investigation. I refer that to the competition bureau. >> Reporter: you are saying you have no power? >> It's the competition bureau, which has the power for the government on that. >> Reporter: it's impacted a little bit because the minister does not direct the investigations that the competition bureau might choose to undertake here. In a way it's possible palado wrote to the wrong office, if you will. The it would be, as the minister said, the competition bureau that would the powers, independent enforcer of the competition act to conduct an investigation. And seek remedies on behalf of consumers, if they find this is anticompetitive behaviour. It could be possible for the minister to sit down and draw the terms of reference for market study with the competition bureau's commissioner. It's not clear that would be appropriate in this situation. I will say when the minister referenced it in his answer, they recently made some changes in a bill that's now law to the competition act to expand what it's definition of abuse of dominance in a market or excessive or unfair prices and practices. Because they have expanded sort of the scope, if you will, of what the competition bureau could consider in its investigations. It is possible that these recent legislative changes could help here, should the commissioner decide to take up this case and begin an investigation. >> That's the cbc's janyce McGREGOR in ottawa. >> Andrew: ireland, norway and spain say they're recognizing a palestinian state. Something at least 140 countries have done. But not canada. We'll talk about this with a former canadian ambassador to israel ahead on cbc news network. >> Adrienne Arsenault: You are constantly on the move, and so are we, making sense of the moments that matter, together. >> Asking what?
