Money ask you something, will you mention about this day and the high tea which all sounds extremely exciting, is this all part of the job or does one have to pay with it? >> In addition to the salary, we pad $10,000 salary and then for the two-month term, we provide free accommodation in banff for two months and then we pay for any excursions, guides, lunches, that kind of thing is on the house.

My name is Alex Hitchons. Call me Hitch. [ ] >> It is time for fans and artists to stop paying the price for live nation's... >> Akshay: you are watching ctv news channel pick the U.S. justice department wants live nation and ticketmaster to face the music in a new lawsuit. >>> They... >> Akshay: in some great news, it's official canada has its first wnba team set to play in 2026 hello and welcome to ctv news channel, thank you for joining us. It's a lawsuit that could shake up thanks in the realm of live events paired the U.S. justice department is suing ticketmaster and it's parent company live nation accusing them of running an illegal monopoly. >> Reporter: call it the taylor swift effect, if it worked for the ticket meltdown in 2022 leaving customers fuming over botched ticket sales, perhaps the U.S. government never would've investigated. Two years later the U.S. 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 month -- monopolized markets in the united states for far too long. It is time to break it up. >> Reporter: it won't be easy. Live nation is a ticketing giant with a lock on artists and music generals and an endless list of these. >> Ticketing fees, service fees, convenience fees. >> Reporter: that translates into higher prices for fans. >> Toronto prices are insane. >> Reporter: she and her flight -- friends flew to sweden to see her idol because it was cheaper. >> The ticket for the show in toronto and the nosebleeds was three grand. In sweden we got tickets, floor seats for $500 canadian. >> Reporter: fans and politicians have been calling for a crackdown for years. Congress grilled live nation's president just last year. >> This is all a definition of monopoly. It. >> If you care about the consumer, cap the price. >> Part of this action is to really force the industry to show its cards, shine a light on how they operate. >> Reporter: live nation in the statement push back calling the accusations absurd and nothing more than a pr... And they intend to fight back. >> Akshay: canadian basketball fans have scored a major win. Toronto will be home to a new wnba franchise, the first outside of the U.S. mike walker has more. >> Toronto, welcome to the w. >> Reporter: after much anticipation, it's official. The wnba is coming to toronto. >> This team is canada's team. >> Reporter: they have been awarded the league's 14th franchise. Tenenbaum, was also the chairman and minority owner of maple leaf sports and entertainment came -- paid $150 million U.S. for the team. >> It will pave the pathway for women in this country. They can see that the sport they play as girls -- girls and as women is just as important and worth investing in. >> Reporter: toronto has been on the wnba's radar since the raptors 2019 championship run. Last year the league sold out scotia bank arena for a preseason game is. >> I attended our toronto game and lots of people coming up to me and saying thank you for making my dreams come true by bringing ed game here. That's my new -- that's when I knew... >> Reporter: with occasional plaint -- games played out scotia bank arena and at montréal and vancouver. >> We want to use this team to elevate basketball canada. >> Reporter: she has spent a decade with the raptors serving as vice president of operations and player development named the team's president today. >> Comes along with a lot of it very difficult details to work through that there is no president.

it's not easy but it's worth it. >> Reporter: women's sports are gaining momentum, the pwhl inaugural season saw huge success with three canadian teams. The wnba is now tipping off its 28 season. >> It's amazing that now female athletes are being recognized. I feel like so many young girls and athletes can also relate and feel inspired. >> Reporter: a sentiment echoed by two-time canadian olympian... Who also coaches national youth possible teams. >> They are going to have... We have not had not in so long. It is something that you dream of and something... >> Akshay: hackers have made good on their threats to release data they stole from london drugs. The company has refused to pay a 25 million-dollar ransom demand from online criminals. They say the leak includes employee information which they call a distressing situation. The western canada-based chain was forced to close all of their stores last month after the cyber attack. >>> Ottawa plans to it -- expand canadian citizenship rights to children born abroad to. >> The legislation will extend citizenship by descent beyond the first generation in a way that is inclusive enough and holds the value of our citizenship. >> Akshay: it would allow canadians born abroad to pass down citizenship to their children. It is a response to ontario court ruling that struck down the stephen art -- stephen harper era law. >>> The university of toronto made an offer to the income into pro- palestinian protesters. >> Given the duration of the encampment and the growing strain on our community, it's time to bring this encampment to an end. >> Akshay: it includes a review of protesters demands to divest from companies with ties to the israeli government. They have also asked the university cut ties with israeli academic institutions but uft says that is off the table. It would appear the protests will not accept the deal. The group calling it an inadequate and offensive offer that does not meet the demands.

>>> A bipartisan letter from 23 U.S. senators is urging canada to meet its 2 percent nato spending commitment. Bill blair reacted to that letter. >> I would talk about the $40 billion in meant -- investment we are making in norad modernization. We've acknowledged that there's more that we need to do. We've clearly indicated in our budget the path to getting that done. >> Akshay: it comes just two months before nato member countries are set toeet in washington. >>> Let me bring in peter mckay, former defence minister under prime ministers stephen harper. Good evening and thank you for your time. >> Euro welcome, good to see you >> Akshay: what you make of the timing of this letter to justin trudeau? It's a rare letter to a head of state. Your thoughts on this move. >> It is unusual although these rumblings have been going on in the states and in washington for some time now. I think it is clearly a move that is intended to increase the pressure on canada frankly in spite of this most recent budget and the defence update. We are still not on path or on pace to meet a 2 percent nato commitment that was made as recently as last year but has been repeatedly made over years to get there until the end of the decade. That's deeply disappointing and worrying to our allies and it sends the wrong site -- wrong signal to our adversaries... >> Akshay: I will come to that in just a moment but I'm curious how do you think the government or the prime minister should respond to this letter, especially as we know when it comes just about two months before the nato summit in washington. >> He's going to be on the hot seat there along with about 12 other countries that are near the bottom of the list. Let's not forget it was recently expanded to include sweden and finland. Other countries, 18 of 32 are now meeting that 2 percent. Other countries are moving more rapidly in that direction. When mr trudeau arrives in washington, he's going to have to answer better than he did today where he the question to his defence minister who we heard from earlier today and frankly that message just doesn't cut mustard. In fact, we are not going to see any real increase in the defence budget until after the next election which is also deeply disappointing and worry some, particularly from rivers of the armed forces and their family >> Akshay: we know that canada has announced the plan of meeting that 1.7 percent target by the end of the decade it. Clearly the senator -- the senators are not impressed with the target. They are aware of the plan that the country has do you think that canada can actually meet that 2 percent target looking at the deficits at home and the pressure on the economy. Do you think this can be done? >> I think it is achievable and I think it comes down to priorities. We came out of afghanistan in 2013 with our reputation very much intact. We were on the right track, frankly the recession did impact our aspirations but it is really a priority. I would suggest a critical priority given what is happening in the broader world. Our commitment to norad and the protection of north america factors into this. The opening of waters in the arctic. We could make a much more specific commitment and we could get to 2 percent if that was a priority for the government and it is simply not a priority. These senators are not reactionary and I know that they are bipartisan people... As well as others like them following mitt romney. Americans known to canadians, they've been to the security forum. They consider canada their most important ally but they are really disappointed. Now I suspect quite concerned that canada is once again kicking the football down the field and not giving a hard number in terms of how we are going to get to 2 percent. >> Akshay: I'm glad you brought that up because we know these senators are mix of democrats and republicans and they are in good standing... Let me ask you about what's happening with the U.S. as well. How much do you think the presidential election and the

possibility of donald trump coming back as the president could be weighing on the minds of the senators. We know where donald trump stands and how pushy he has been on this subject. >> I say he has in fact been very direct in his criticisms. Not just of canada but other countries who he has described as laggards and having sat around nato tables, I know the measure of what you contribute to nato isn't really just numbers. It is in terms of what you are doing, where you are doing it, what those capabilities that nato requires really are in terms of equipment and troops and training. But this number has become a significant benchmark when measured against other countries and it has a lot to do with canada's performance competitiveness with respect to our economy as to how we are going to reach that to present. The presidential election, which is going to come on the heels of the washington summit is inevitably going to be a factor in terms of how the americans weigh in on this subject matter of defence. It affects them, they are concerned about the vulnerability of the canadian arctic. We saw a chinese weather balloon drifting across our country. It was the americans who took that balloon down let's not forget. The capability gap that is growing is of major concern to our allies, particularly the americans. >> Akshay: peter mckay, former foreign affairs minister and defence minister of canada.

>>> It's an impressive medical first. Doctors at the children's hospital of eastern ontario are using artificial intelligence to help diagnose rare disorders. >> Reporter: for years this family has been searching for the cause of the developmental delays in there 10-year-old sun anthony. >> His balance is very poor as well as being able to retain information and grasp every day small tasks and knowledge was very challenging. >> Reporter: doctors initially thought the delays were due to complications from surgery he had as a baby. He was born with excessive fluid around his brain. After more than 100 visits to the hospital and being bounced from one specialist to another, he was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. >> There's about 400 people in the world with this disease right now. Anthony is the first one diagnosed this disease in north america. >> Reporter: there are 6000 rare genetic diseases. His diagnosis may not have happened if he wasn't flagged for -- flag during testing with an ai algorithm. It was developed by scientists working with tech experts. >> We are not replacing, we are helping them with some of these tools. >> 's pilot project, researchers used the algorithm to analyse ten years of data consisting of more than 250,000 records. Of that number, 15 people were flagged as having potential rare genetic diseases. Ai is allowing doctors to diagnose 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 educational system, you are often not given... >> Reporter: they don't have plans to monetize this algorithm. Wants to give it away for free to -- to other children's hospital's. >> Akshay: louisiana has become the first U.S. state to designate abortion pills and dangerous controlled substance. Anyone found in possession without a prescription could face jail time and thousands of dollars in fines. Doctors will need a specific licensed to prescribe the pills and they will become more difficult for women to access.
