of the calendar year. It doesn't mean that if a storm forms outside the traditional hurricane season it's extremely abnormal because we've seen it before, but certainly, the bulk of storms happen in the months of august, september, and october. So those are the names that we're going to be using this year. There's an area that's being watched right now in the caribbean. It's got a low percentage of formation, but if it does become a named storm, whether it's this one or some other storm later on, it will be named alberto, followed by burrow, chris, and so on. If we run out of names, we may have to use a supplemental list of names. We no longer use the greek alphabet, but we have a supplemental list of names that we may have to use this year.

Thank you. >> Natasha: okay. Folks, we've been taking you to an update to noaa in the united states. They anticipate there will be a lot of hurricane activity in the months ahead. So far, they're anticipating 25 named storms. Eight to 13 will become hurricanes, and of those, four to seven will become major hurricanes. Canada has response zones and you can sign up for alerts from the C.H.C. website and their app. We will cover any developing stories concerning hurricanes when they come into this country.

>>> The federal government has tabled legislation meant to extend citizenship to some children of canadian parents who were born outside of canada. Here's some of the announcement from ottawa. >> The proposed legislation will extend citizenship beyond the first generation. If passed, the bill extends citizenship to anyone born outside the country to a canadian parent before the bill comes into force. We've also raised concerns brought up at parliamentary committees. They're called last canadians, someone who was never able to become a citizen or who lost citizenship because of outdates regulations. >> Natasha: the lastost canadians, one example is a parent who spent at least 1,095 days in this country to a child you want to pass citizenship onto. >>> After years of frustration and anger from music fans, washington is accusing ticketmaster's owner of a monopoly. The government explained last hour why they decided to take action. >> In the past years, ticketmasters outrageous fees have been criticized by fans and artists alike. But we are not here today because live nation's ticketmaster's actions are inconvenient or frustrating. We're here because that action is anticompetitive and illegal. >> Natasha: CBCs richard madan was listening in on that conference. Richard, what can you tell us? >> Reporter: well, garland didn't hold back, and the D.O.J. is suing live nation, calling for its break up from ticketmaster. Garland says it monopolizes all aspects of the business, saying it stifles competition and squeezes fans by tacking on outrageous fees on ticket prices. Watch this. >> Live nation ticketmaster has made itself ubiquitous in the ticket industry. It directly manages more than 400 artists and controls more than 60% of concert promotions across the country, and it owns or controls more than 60% of large amphitheatres in the united states. We allege to sustain this dominant live nation relies on unlawful anticompetitive conduct. >> Reporter: now, live nation, as you heard the attorney general point out, is a large company, but it's not known how much it can divest because of live nation's actions. >> Natasha: as was said earlier today, there was so much anger over what was happening, so is it surprising that washington is launching this lawsuit now? >> Reporter: it was not expected. The attorney general is following the white house's lead, but you can credit this lawsuit to the legions of angry swifties, furious at the prices and experiences at ticketmaster sites last year, paying outrageous prices for tickets that were already scooped up. >> May I suggest respectfully that ticketmaster ought to look in the mirror and say I'm the problem. It's me. You are the ones ultimately responsible for the astronomically rising prices, the exorbitant hidden fees. >> Senator, we agree there are a lot of problems in this industry, and as the leading player, we have an obligation to do better. >> Reporter: the organization has denies its breaking any laws, citing the regulations

instead. >> Natasha: cbc's richard madan in washington, thank you. >> Reporter: you bet. >> Natasha: we are following breaking news in kentucky concerning the world's number one golfer. Scottie sheffler is charged with striking an officer, but police are also concerned with that officer not turning on his body camera device. >> Detective gillis did have an encounter, as we know, with mr. Scottie sheffler. Detective gillis should have turned on his body-worn camera but did not. His failure to do so is a violation of lmpd policy on uniforms and equipment subject category body-worn camera, and he was sustained for a violation of the policy 4.13.6 procedures and 4.31.7, operations. Detective gillis did not have his body-worn camera immediately available and operational as per department policy. >> Natasha: journalist steve futterman is following this story for us. Steve, what else was said by the chief and the mayor? >> Reporter: well, two major things came out of the news conference. First of all, the detective. This is the detective that scottie sheffler had an encounter with, this is the detective that arrested sheffler. They say that the detective should have had his camera ready to turn on, and he did not do that, and that could affect the prosecution. But the mayor and police have said they are not going to interfere with the judicial process. They have tossed it to the county attorney there in louis victim ville. >> Activating body-worn cameras is integral to our police department to maintain the community's trust, to be transparent. Chief, I appreciate the speed with which you have conducted the investigation into this situation. You've dealt with it transparently and straightforwardly, and we are all looking to move forward. I know there are a lot of questions right now from every member of the media here and people across the entire city, but we have to respect the legal process, and that's what we are going to do, and we are going to let that play out. >> Reporter: and that's the situation we face right now. Next week, scottie sheffler is due in court for his arraignment. The mayor said he hopes that scottie sheffler, the attorneys, that everyone can come to some sort of understanding and move forward. That sounds like he would love for this to go away, but right now, it's not going away. Technically, scottie sheffler is charged with including one very serious felony charge of assaulting a police officer. >> Natasha: while it's not going away, that charge is still going. What are we looking for? >> Reporter: well, I think there will be a lot of discussions involving scottie sheffler's people, his attorney, the mayor, the police chief, and the prosecutors. Can they work out some sort of deal? Now complicating this is scottie sheffler's attorney said there will be no deal. He will either have the charges dropped or go to trial. Well, I've always heard some sort of deal, maybe where scottie sheffler apologizes, but at this point, scottie sheffler does face charges, this very serious charge. I think everyone would like to resolve this and have this go away. >> Natasha: steve futterman Hey, let's go, man. [laughter] You're one of my favourite interviewers. Announcer: q with Tom Power.
