utilise an apower drone to deliver meds to hard to access areas a shipment of insulin was successfully delivered to an elderly woman living alone on lake. Co-founder of script runner adam plummer speaks more about their efforts as a company. >> We believe that everybody deserves to have a great quality of life and that's why we kind of do it in the form of medication delivery, right? So I think that if these populations are in areas that are hard to get to again this is the drone is definitely a versatile equipment. That's one of the many things to be used for the last mile to get them their medication. So I definitely do think it could really help with that. >> The drone use for the demonstration is the dji fly cart 30, a large 65 kg wind resistant machine capable of carrying a payload of up to 40 kilos. This trial run could potentially revolutionise the country's evolving health care landscape. The executive director of oak medical arts, robin desplaines says drones could provide crucial solutions in transporting medications to those in desperate need and also reduce busy pharmacy workflow. >> It's been absolutely exciting to be a part of scriptwriter's first drone delivered prescription launch today as a pilot project we can see that this is going to be absolutely instrumental potentially in the future of health care delivering prescriptions in a timely manner and helping patients access the care that they need so we're really excited to be a part of the very first step in moving to that direction. >> Some of the uncontrollable variables include bad weather along the flight paths. However, a human interception of these packages could also be a looming threat. >> Plummer addressed these possible issues and how the deliveries would work. Signatures are required. Yes, exactly. And so the tracking actually does is that pharmacies are able to know where they are going to next. So you know, say for example, they have five deliveries and it gets delivered to the third person once that delivery is done it's a successful and they know it's delivery they're going to next. So you know, it's a live action shot of where the deliveries are going. So if there's any time where a person doesn't get that medication, they'll call you right away and we'll be able to track where it is. Further testing is required but officials hope to be making routine drone deliveries of prescriptions by early twenty twenty five jaidyn bilic tv news the ninety fifth season of the lakehead festival of music and the arts has drawn to a close. Last night the festival wrapped up the community auditorium with music and dance performances showcasing the talent from the twenty twenty four festival season. Josh marino is their deejay inside of the community auditorium youth from all across the city came together to put on one final show for friends and families. The festival season began in march with award winners from the dance festival and vocal and instrumental shows given the chance to perform on the grand stage. Festival coordinator kathleen brown says this event is important for the young performers. I think that it allows them to showcase their talents and allows them to be creative. From a young age we have very young dancers, performers, musicians, vocalists and all the way up to university students. So it really allows them to showcase their talents year after year and continue to foster their creativity from dancing groups to piano and violin players. >> And even singers like these young performers gave it their all in the spotlight my is doing my ballet solo for the ballet and I did a lot of fun. How was it being out there all by yourself doing the number and then everyone clapping for you at the end is a bit nerve wracking at first but after all it was good. The ninety sixth season of the lakehead festival of music and the arts kicks off in march of next year and organisers are expecting even more new faces to showcase their talents. Josh maranto tv news. >> All right, let's turn our attention to the weather now and fiona, we finally saw the sun today.

Twenty four up to forty nine km

per hour and that was under partly to mostly cloudy skies now across the region. >> Fort francis if we thought it was cool this morning in thunder bay fort francis start the day at minus one . >> So I think folks there are quite happy to see sunshine and 13 but they too have a ways to go before they hit seasonal values. It was also pretty close to the freezing mark in red lake unfortunately with cloud and some afternoon showers they never really warm up. >> They're currently at their high for the day of eight celsius in between the two we've got kind of a mixed bag. Nora's currently at thirteen but so look out is that eight nine and dryden upsala seven and armstrong and greenstar own one of the coolest spots in the region today with the exception of pickrell like greenstone is at their high for the day of five celsius and they had a mix of rain and cloud throughout the day with winds gusting 50 kilometres per hour there as well along the north shore we're also in the single digits in marathon at seven six and walwa six managing eleven at this hour actually topped out this afternoon at fourteen that's with forty k wins and mainly sunny skies now here in the city of thunder bay tonight it's going to be very similar to last night as far as the temperatures are concerned we're going to drop down to three and we'll see mostly clear skies. >> The winds will start out gusty this evening but they will taper off overnight and for the rest of the week. Well, we're going to start out with a much cooler friday. Yes. Cooler than the below seasonal temperatures we saw today that will turn into rain for friday night and into saturday. So kind of a wet start to the weekend and the fair amount of it. >> But after that we've got sunshine and temperatures warming back up to more seasonal levels.

The eye scans, records and flags patients for genetic testing. Judy trin takes a closer look at the technology. For years the wistar family have been searching for the cause of the developmental delays in their 10 year old son anthony . >> His balance is very poor as well as being able to retain information and grasp every day a small task and knowledge was very challenging. >> Doctors initially thought the delays were due to complications from surgery. Anthony had as a baby. He was born with excessive fluid around his brain after more than one hundred visits to a hospital and being bounced from one specialist to another ,anthony was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder chng jeanson syndrome. >> There's about only four hundred people in the world no one with this disease right now as we speak, anthony is actually the first one diagnosed with this disease in north america there are six thousand rare genetic diseases and diagnosis may not have happened if he wasn't flagged for testing through an A.I. algorithm chiyo named it think rare it was developed by scientists working with tech experts. >> It's kind of a nudge. It's not we're not replacing the doctors. We're we're kind of helping them with some of these digital tools for this pilot project researchers use the algorithm to analyse ten years of data consisting of more than two hundred and fifty thousand patient records of that number . Fifteen people were flagged as having potential rare genetic diseases. >> A.I. is allowing chieu doctors to diag those rare disorders in kids much earlier so families can get help faster if you don't have a specific diagnostic code attached to you in the in the educational system you're often not given enough resources. >> It took two or three years to develop its algorithm but it doesn't have plans to monetise it instead it wants to give it away for free to other children's hospitals. >> Judy trin, ctv news, ottawa. To washington now where the us justice department today filed a sweeping antitrust lawsuit against ticketmaster and its parent company live nation accusing the entertainment giant of running an illegal monopoly over live events in the united states. >> Cvs's joy malbon has the details. Well, get ready for an epic legal battle as the U.S. justice department and 30 states take on the largest ticket seller in north america . The problem is me call it the taylor swift effect. If it weren't for the heiress to her ticket meltdown in 2020 ,are you leaving customers fuming over botched ticket sales? Perhaps the U.S. government never would have investigated two years later, the us justice department is now suing the company that owns ticketmaster accusing live nation of illegally abusing its monopoly power and leaving fans frustrated. >> We allege that live nation has illegally monopolised markets across the live concert industry in the united states for far too long . It is time to break it up. >> It won't be easy. Live nation is a ticketing giant with a lock on artists and music venues and says the attorney general, an endless list of fees, ticketing fees, service fees, convenience fees and that he says translates into higher prices for fans.
