friday, may 24th. Here's your "global news" entertainment-wrap. It's me. Hi. >> I'm the problem. It's me. >> Live nation, the parent company of ticketmaster, is being sued by the us department of justice. Concert fans have been calling for a reexamination of live nation's practices for years, most notably because of recent issues with taylor swifts eras tour. Some die hard fans were unable to afford or even get their hands on tickets, often waiting hours in online queues, only to be let down. The lawsuit hopes to break up the stronghold live nation has, claiming it's squeezing out smaller promoters and hurting artists like me. And don't hold your breath because you're still choking on your words. Was canadian singer avril lavigne replaced by a lookalike? Well, fans have been theorizing since the early 20 tens that the performer died in the early 2000 and was replaced by a lookalike named melissa. The rumors were fueled by a blog post pointing out certain physical changes levine had had gone through since her rise to fame. The singer finally addressed the conspiracy on a podcast this month, saying, obviously I'm me, but joked the rumors about her could be worse. Steven spielberg has lined up his next feature film, to be released in theaters on may 15th, 2026. The project currently has no title, but is described as a new original event film, and it was earlier reported by variety that spielberg is working on a ufo story. David koepp, who worked with the filmmaker on jurassic park and war of the worlds in indiana jones, will be writing the script, and kristie macosko krieger will produce it. And with the pandemic negatively impacting moviegoing habits, maybe this new film could help the three time oscar winner reclaim his crown as the king of the summer blockbuster.

Let's have a look at your local news headlines. With the focus on new brunswick this time around. Now, the chief of the saint mary's

first nation is speaking out after receiving a leaked email where a fredericton high school teacher appears to compare a recent powwow at the school to having a priest come in to perform communion. Silas brown explains this one for us this morning in a leaked email posted to social media on thursday morning, a fredericton high school teacher says they object to the holding of a powwow at the school due to its spiritual nature. >> The teacher says that spiritual events should not take place at the school and compares powwows to a priest holding a prayer vigil. Sea-dogs first nation chief allan polchies posted the email on social media thursday morning, and he said he was disappointed to see the comments. He says powwows at schools helped foster understanding, reading and learning. >> We're sharing the space with our brothers and sisters, the newcomers, the anglophones, the francophones and the indigenous people. They all go to school together every single day, so it's important that we understand stand who we are. Everyone that attends those schools. >> The fredericton high school hosted a powwow on may 21st. Another is upcoming at leo hayes high school next week. A spokesperson for anglophone west did confirm that they are aware of emails related to the powwow, and are taking it seriously. They went on to say that powwows are encouraged and supported across the school district as a way to celebrate and share indigenous teachings and knowledge. She said that while indigenous identity is often tied up in spirituality, powwows are really a chance to share their identity and culture. >> We want to share our culture. We it's an educational. For those that are not familiar and why we dance, why we sing, why we share our stories and why we speak our language. So dances is set to hold its annual powwow in june, and as always, is inviting the entire fredericton community. >> Silas brown, "global news, fredericton new brunswick's court of appeal has ruled the province's lieutenant governor does not need to be bilingual. >> The decision comes in response to a challenge by the acadian society of new brunswick against the 2019 appointment of brenda murphy as anglophone. As lieutenant governor, it argues the prime minister violated constitutional language protections, since murphy is unilingual in its decision released on thursday, the court of appeals states that while it is ideal for the province's lieutenant governor to be bilingual, it's not mandated by the constitution. In response to the ruling, the acadian society maintains its position and intends to escalate the case to the supreme court of canada. The canadian union of public employees says they will continue to pursue a legal challenge against the province, despite the rejection of their pension injunction request. In a statement released on thursday, cupe says the court's decision is disappointing but does not invalidate their legal challenge. Last fall, the province passed legislation to force two cupe locals and the new brunswick council of nursing home unions. From their existing pensions to the shared risk model. The unions accused premier higgs of breaching their collective agreement and launched a judicial review of the legislation. They also requested an injunction to halt the pension transfer process until the completion of the judicial review process, which was rejected by the court. Cupe says the members remain confident about the larger charter challenge and are committed to defending their pensions. The rcmp is looking for a suspect in connection with an armed robbery in riverview at around 10 A.M. on may 8th, the codiac rcmp responded to a business. This was on coverdale road by the time police showed up, the suspect had already left on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information or video footage is asked to contact the rcmp. A tense disagreement between lobster fishermen in northern new brunswick and the federal government appears to be resolved. This follows the fishermen's refusal to remove their traps from the water after an endangered right whale was spotted near miscou island. Suzanne-lapointe has more after an endangered right whale was spotted in a lobster fishing area near the acadian peninsula on saturday, the department of fisheries and oceans enacted a 15 day closure of the area at the height of fishing season. >> The dfo claimed the whale had been spotted eight fathoms deep, which requires the closure of an entire area for conservation reasons. >> We're talking about a huge, huge, difficult situation for a small community like like in my riding that depend heavily on fisheries. And this is why we need to solve this. The maritime fishermen's union claimed the whale had been seen between 10 and 20 fathoms, which would only entail a smaller closure. >> They refused to remove their lobster traps on wednesday evening, prompting federal fisheries and oceans minister jean le bouthillier to hold emergency meetings with stakeholders thursday. The fishermen's union says they were told by the deputy minister that dfo dispatched a coast guard vessel and confirmed the whale was at 13 fathoms. That would mean there would only be a smaller closure. >> We're good to go. We've got an opening, I think effective immediately, and, our fishermen will be able to fish, on the coast. >> The federal minister's press secretary refused to confirm the details of the closure. And any details from thursday's

meetings. The fishermen's union says it's pleased with the development and is standing down on previous talks of further action. >> And it's important to remember that there's still you know, a good third of the zone that's closed right now and that and that's fine. I mean, once again, we're we want to we want to support these whale protection measures as, as best as we can. It's just dfo made a made an error here. He says there will still be a financial loss due to the partial closure. >> Suzanne-lapointe "global news" moncton moncton is set to display its first indigenous public art installation. >> It's called spirit of reconciliation. It includes a five meter long sculpture shaped like a birch bark canoe painted in bright red. The canoe will be lit from within to highlight images inspired by mi'kmaq petroglyphs and ancient symbols. It's all designed by lcbo tiktok based mi'kmaq artist brian francis and fredericton artist jean hudson. The sculpture will be installed next spring outside the new rcmp building, which is currently under construction on albert street near the petitcodiac river. Let's say good morning and happy friday to ross-hull ross. You're going to have to carry the show for me this morning, sir. I was out till 11. I went to bed at 11 last night after an east coast lifestyle foundation event in bayers lake. And then I was awoken by the sounds of thunder. I think at 1 A.M. was I dreaming or was that real? >> No, you were not dreaming. I can confirm, paul. There was a thunderstorm reported at halifax stanfield and around the area overnight, the good news is, most of the rainfall will have cleared. We've got some mist and some fog out there, but we unfortunately had to get through it overnight and wake you up. But good for you for staying on, because I know getting to bed that late can be a big challenge and you got to rest because you've got some other important activities heading into the weekend, right? >> Yes, exactly. On sunday afternoon, I'll be in lower sackville. I believe it's acadia park for the ms-walks event for 2024, which the timing of that is much more in my wheelhouse. Like 2:00 in the afternoon. So I'll be ready to rock for that event and looking forward to the walk. Coming up for a great cause. >> Yeah, and where I have to come in is I have to provide some good weather for you. Right. This weekend and for all those activities. And I think I can deliver on that. So yeah. Let me take this on for you, paul. You take a little break there and, let's show you what actually did move through the area earlier on. You can see some of the thunderstorm activity, some of the rainfall activity that did move through a closer look here. You can see it's pushing towards the east though cape breton into it early this morning. But for the most part, much of nova scotia going to stay dry today. Another weak front is going to push through new brunswick, bringing the chance of some showers and the risk of a thunderstorm, but it certainly won't be a washout. What you will notice though, the reason why we did see those thunderstorms and woke up paul, is the fact that it was a cold front, so it's not going to be quite as humid today. Still above average for many spots, just not that humidity into the high 20s, low 30s even higher than that that we've been experiencing late. It's still pretty mild out there. Mid teens, low double digits for most areas and we will get back up to the 20s around halifax today a little cooler farther east. Some areas that do experience a little more shower activity and still into the high 20s mid to high 20s as you head to places like fredericton and moncton today so you can see that chance of a shower or thunderstorm. This afternoon. We should stay dry across much of nova scotia and then heading into saturday, a few clouds, sun cloud mix should stay dry for all areas. A few scattered showers. Northeastern new brunswick and then on sunday ms-walks sun cloud mix. It will be a little cooler, so likely temperatures between 16 to 18 degrees around halifax, most areas around the hrm. And then we'll get into a little more of an unsettled pattern into early next week. So let's break it down for you. For fredericton, 22 degrees a sun cloud mix 21 on sunday. A little more cloud cover on monday, and we're looking at some wet weather into early next week. We actually do need it because rainfall has run below average this month for halifax and the hrm. We're getting up to low 20s on saturday, souncloud mix perhaps a little bit more cloud cover on sunday, and there's that cooler air mass 16 degrees slightly off our normal or average high 14 on monday. And then we'll have to watch out for some rain heading into tuesday and wednesday. I hope you all have a great weekend, including you, paul. And that's a look at your ok-tire-weather.

On this friday, especially if you're allergic to birch, pine, fir or spruce. >> And just before the break, let's have a look at gas prices in new brunswick as we head into the weekend.
