yeah tonight the Staggering human cost in turkey and Syria after devastating earthquakes collapsed buildings and desperate searches signaled tragedy on a horrifying scale [Music] as Tiny moments of relief puncture the tension worried Canadians wait for work from a region crying out for Urgent Global health on the eve of a health care proposal to the provinces we hear what's needed from the front lines abject paint trumps ideology every day of the week [Music] corresponding a Race Against Time and temperatures underway in turkey and Syria tonight it's been more than 24 hours since the first of several earthquakes and aftershocks brought down thousands of buildings the search for survivors is only getting more desperate some clearly are being found but moments like those are swamped by others just full of grief entire apartment buildings reduced to Rubble in an instant the count of the Dead is still Rising it's now over four thousand the number of injured hires still Breyer Stewart has arrived in turkey tonight she shows us why it will be a long time before all those still unaccounted for can be located and the complete level of the human cost truly now you can hear the power of that initial Tremor a magnitude 7.8 earthquake centered near the border between turkey and Syria it hit as people were sleeping totally vulnerable then came the aftershocks and hours later a second major jolt as building after building collapse people ran through their lives foreign turkey this one came down as Rescuers were searching in nearby pile of rubble a reporter they are capturing the panic and fear on the faces of those glees in the city of Dr back here Rescuers looked on as another came down thousands of buildings have fallen in Turkey alone and they are popular this man says he was in one his wife trapped under him and unresponsive he got out now he waits trying not to lose hope rescuing her and countless others the Urgent mission search is made so difficult by piles of cement and debris cranes help where they can dogs too tedious careful desperate work bodies are uncovered so are survivors those brief moments of Celebration full of overwhelming relief searches like those are also happening across the border in Syria saw hammers bare hands people doing what they can to move these mountains of debris here there's both government held and opposition held territory already devastated by War and a refugee crisis Now new paint this father is mourning his newborn killed in a collapse those who survived are being treated in overwhelmed hospitals the opposition emergency organization white helmets says Aid is desperately needed North Korea now it's disaster area we need help from everyone to to to to save our people now a day after that first Quake the scale of the destruction is becoming clear tens of thousands now homeless in both countries try and find warmth and safety where they can the cold weather is making the conditions on the ground even more miserable for the rescue crews working through the night and for people seeking shelter many are staying at shopping centers and mosques either because they don't have a home to go back to or they're too frightened to spend the night inside the government has declared seven days of national mourning in Turkey Briar Stewart CBC News Istanbul the complete scale of loss and destruction can't be known yet but what we know so far is sobering the Quake wasn't just powerful it also affected a huge area the epicenter was just Northwest of gazientep in southern turkey just one point along a 100 kilometer gash where the shaking was the most severe the CBC News producer Dalia ashri happens to be in ghaziantep right now very close to the epicenter of that initial quake and to several aftershocks oh I'm just feeling an earthquake right now yeah yeah so that was Dahlia earlier in the day just as she was setting up for an interview a sign of how precarious and dangerous the situation still is so Dahlia joins us from Ghazi and TEF it's very early in the morning there Dalia can you give us a sense of the situation in the city right now yeah Adrian uh it's quite a catastrophic situation right now in gaziantev of course many of the buildings have collapsed when I had to go walk outside earlier uh today there was debris everywhere even the castles parts of it has come down uh people are starting to be put in shelters so banquet halls are being made into shelters airport has been closed off for first aid and of course a lot of the sidewalks were also closed off and there's not that many cars out on the road but this is dangerous to be driving outside right now I know it's really disorienting when things just aren't in the right place and people don't seem to know what to do what's the sense you're getting from people you've spoken with well I work with a lot of Syrian journalists here and of course the situation right now for them is quite triggering quite traumatic um as they have endured the civil war in Syria for over a decade and so many of the Syrian diaspora that I've spoken with here uh they're very shaken many people are sitting in their cars just running their engine trying to get the heat of course that can only last for so long and of course as well there's no water so there's people out on the street trying to get water from the fountains and like I said people are seeking shelter in areas that are available like I said in the banquet halls sports centers uh and in the airports but a lot of high emotions and people are very frantic too to know about their loved ones and if they're okay whether it's in here in turkey or in Syria absolutely there must be so much anxiety Dahlia thank you very much look after yourself thanks Adrian so we call it an earthquake but it was actually a pair of major earthquake events followed so far by dozens of aftershocks altogether turkey's president is calling it a historic disaster zombies erdogan called this turkey's worst disaster since 1939. there have been 12 major earthquakes to strike the country over the past Century each killing a thousand people or more the region is effectively a geological time bomb in this Quake it was two tectonic plates meeting almost right along the Turkish Syrian border the Arabian plate pushing North grinding against then catastrophically slipping against the Anatolian plate there could be months of aftershocks as those plates settle this part of turkey and especially Syria is vulnerable the Quake hid an area controlled by a patchwork the Syrian regime three different militias pro-turkish islamists and Kurdish and turkey itself both buildings and daily lives unsteady to begin with and now this here at home prime minister Justin Trudeau says Canada stands ready to assist Canada's looking at how we can help directly and immediately but also how we can work with the International Community to be there for people who are suffering right now in the immediate and for the long term Global Affairs says it hasn't received any requests for assistance almost 9 000 Canadians are registered as being in turkey and Syria so Canada is one of at least 45 countries to offer the assistance but there are also individual Canadians who've left into action they have close ties to the region through heritage family friends Sarah Levitt on their response and their despair Georgia swad's been a refugee in Quebec since 2016 but most of his family are still in Syria plus his best friend it's like my brother too like I grew up with him with his phone buzzing constantly on Sunday night a SWAT got devastating news that friend didn't make it like they were on the top well everything destroyed they took them as a piece pieces I'm in big shock I am talking but I don't I can't believe this has happened to my family nor old tip is family in a skander in Turkey their home destroyed my brother-in-law was confirmed dead and my eldest brother sister-in-law and nephew his wife and one-year-old baby are still under the rubble right across the country members of the Syrian and Turkish communities are experiencing heartache you didn't sleep very much last night yes correct and Andy it's only one hour instead of sleeping the president of Quebec's Turkish Association has been working the phones any help it will help yes he's been trying to raise money and gather Goods right now is the basic needs its importance because you know people left at their houses and they can go back socks winter jackets winter boats also necessary expert emergency help we've offered our drone teams we've also offered water purification technology in Toronto charity Global medic is also Gathering supplies they need access to clean drinking water they they need access to food they need shelter so we've offered up our field Hospital units and we're far we can do nothing a swad says he's feeling a bit useless we do as much as we can to keep support those people people like his friend's family who he says he now considers his own Sarah limits CBC News Montreal the tragedy of those earthquakes was marked in Toronto tonight the CN tower going dark for five minutes each hour a recognition of the thousands killed and injured Toronto's Mayor John Tory also expressing his deep sympathy now dozens of countries and ngos are mobilizing to help turkey and Syria even as people there are already running out of time Katie Simpson shows us how the urgency of disaster is running up against the barriers of a divided world urgently needed help is coming from all over the world highly trained Romanian rescue crews among the first to head into the disaster Zone in Italy firefighters do a final check of their gear before deployment while German search dog teams anxiously wait to board their flight of course we're going with a feeling of uncertainty this dog handler says hopefully we will be there in time at the United Nations there was a moment of silence to honor those who could not be saved the United Nations is mobilizing to support the emergency response and so let's work together in solidarity to assist all those hit by This Disaster getting assistance into turkey a NATO member will be relatively straightforward but support for Syria 12 years into a Civil War at the hands of the Bashar al-assad regime is far more complicated I really worry for the people in Northern Syria they they have what international presence there is is a very limited the only certain support is coming from Russia which sent a few dozen rescue crews despite Vladimir Putin helping the Assad regime carry out bombing attacks for years Syria's other Ally Iran reportedly sent a plane carrying Aid when it comes to humanitarian needs we have to and we must put politics aside we need to reach these people with these humanitarian assistance the U.S is committing to help the people of Syria with a plan to go around Bashar al-assad relying on trusted ngos to deliver Aid these Partners who unlike the Syrian regime are there to help the people rather than brutalize them it is a plan other Western countries are expected to follow as the scope of the disaster comes into Focus Katie Simpson CBC News Washington let's turn now to a major story set to play out in this country tomorrow Justin Trudeau will lay out a 10-year Health Care funding plan for provinces and territories the details are scarce but the premiers are gathering waiting to hear them David Cochran looks at what they're hoping for and what they're wary of the premiers arrive in Ottawa for a meeting two years in the making and use the lobby of a Downtown hotel to Lobby the Prime Minister we know what are our priorities we know how to invest the money we don't need the federal government to tell us how to invest the money we haven't seen any details yet I'm hopeful I'm optimistic what we're looking for is uh is a federal partner that's there for us on the core Healthcare System for the prime minister to want to come to the table I think that that is the reason for optimism so I think that's why you're probably seeing an optimistic tone from all the premiers that optimism will be met with cash we will be there putting more money on the table sources tell CBC News the Prime Minister will propose a 10-year plan with billions of new dollars starting in the next budget including a Top-Up for the planned increase in the Canada Health transfer and extra funding for bilateral agreements to help provinces and territories deal with their specific needs this is going to be a work that we're going to continue doing over the coming coming weeks I don't think any of us expect a deal to be made tomorrow I think the Prime Minister himself has said that he doesn't expect that either no deal because at this point there is no hard information the premiers won't see the federal plan until the meeting on Tuesday I would have liked to have seen the proposal ahead of time there's no question the lack of clarity frustrating for some the federal effort encouraging two others no obligation to negotiate and that's been the posture of previous governments but I think it's certainly a good sign a good gesture of Goodwill that the prime minister is open to having this meeting in the first place the meeting will be short just two hours for the prime minister to lay out a 10-year plan and try to win the support of all 13 premiers David Cochran CBC News Ottawa the RCMP in British Columbia has confirmed to CBC news that an arrest warrant has been issued for actor Nathan chasing horse he's been charged with one count of sexual assault the dancing with Wolves actor had a court appearance in Nevada Monday he is accused of sexually insulting indigenous girls and women across multiple States for at least two decades he's being held without bail a CBC News investigation has found that many well-known retailers have been sharing your data with Facebook's parent company meta this comes after Federal privacy Commissioners took Home Depot to task for doing just that Thomas Deng has the details from Best Buy to PetSmart Bed Bath and Beyond to Lululemon Shoppers at some of Canada's biggest retailers had their personal details shared with Facebook whether customers were told or not damn okay that's pretty interesting did not know that you annoys me but I'm not surprised the federal privacy commissioner recently called out Home Depot for sending e-receipt information to Facebook owner meta without getting consent from in-store Shoppers any organization that has a similar practice is in breach of privacy law in Canada and has to stop this practice CBC News reviewed data downloaded from the profiles of several Facebook users the files showed purchase records from multiple prominent retailers like we found at least I think eight different stores we shared our findings with privacy experts opmi Akon Beats at Toronto metropolitan University it might feel invasive but a lot of these companies just think that it's the price they have to pay to get a better sense of what people are doing meta uses the data to tell retailers how online ads lead to in-store purchases but lawyer Tony Merchant says there's more to it than that he's launching a class action against Home Depot for its data sharing practices Facebook takes a bit of information ties it into a big package that you would not want to be out there about you Hudson's Bay says for now it's stopped giving customer data to meta most other retailers we uncovered including beauty product store Sephora and fashion chain anthropology wouldn't comments meta declined to say how many chains in Canada share details about their customers none of the businesses would tell us whether they warn Shoppers their details may not be kept secret Thomas Jagger CBC News Toronto tonight we dig into a story about a Canadian export that's got animal rights groups raising the alarm if they're not going to take action in a situation like this when are they going to enforce the law what CBC News has learned about a shipment of horses Sent to Japan and later on the eve of tomorrow's meeting about the crisis in Canadian Health Care some Frontline stakeholders offer their Solutions Plus people die right like people are murdered because of domestic violence but electronic monitoring keep victims safer we're back at you there are new calls for a ban on a long controversial Canadian export live horses used for sushi meat in Japan Karen Paul shows us how Animal Welfare rules were broken recently without any repercussions 79 horses were brought to the airport in semi trucks loaded into wooden crates three to four deep then left on the tarmac to await a cargo plane and the long flight to Japan it's awful because their flight animals are not used to being handled like that it's a very stressful time for them every year Canada exports between three and four thousand live horses to Japan mostly Clydesdales and percherons bred specifically for human consumption as horse meat sushi by law the horses can only be in transport a maximum of 28 hours but on that flight from Winnipeg to Japan in December there was a delay taking off and a blizzard at a planned refueling stop the exporter says a decision was made in conjunction with the Canadian food inspection agency to keep going even though that limit was going to be exceeded we owned another air pilots and decided between everybody let's get her done let's do it we decided that for a couple hours this was totally the best thing for the horses Animal Welfare groups filed a legal complaint with the federal government it acknowledged the shipment exceeded the legal time limit and that three horses had fallen in their crates but said there would be no enforcement actions if they're not going to take action in a situation like this when are they going to enforce the law Advocates are upset the Trudeau government still hasn't fulfilled a campaign promise but in a statement the minister said we are engaging with key stakeholders to determine the best course of action to ban the export of live horses for Slaughter an NDP petition co-sponsored with Canadian musician Jan Arden is expected to be presented to the House of Commons our message to Canadians is that this is this is preventable and it's stoppable raising horses for consumption is an industry worth tens of millions of dollars a year in Canada ottawa's challenge balancing the livelihoods of those Farmers with the well-being of the animals Karen and polls CBC News Winnipeg Canadians know all too well that Health Care in this country is in crisis but what kinds of solutions are out there we talked to some Frontline stakeholders about what they'd like to see and later we need to utilize the technology the police want the technology the women's shelters want the technology using electronic monitors to protect victims of intimate partner violence could they save lives the national takes you deeper into the story shaping our world best [Music] well tomorrow in Ottawa the Prime Minister will sit down with the premiers to talk Health Care they need Solutions and the people you're about to meet might have some an ICU doctor from Ottawa a nurse who left the Public Health Care system because of burnout a Winnipeg patient who opted to have surgery in Lithuania and a caregiver let's get into it so this is a moment to talk about health care more money is being spent on health care than ever before it's not enough we're in a nursing school right now where enrollment is up it's still not enough if you had one thing that you wanted the politicians to understand about what has to happen in health care right now what would it be Sarah well Adrian I would say this I need to have a visibility cloak caregivers need to be seen they need to be heard they need to be respected and they need to be a vital part of the health care team included Lynn Tran you're a nurse who left to go into the private system Adrian I think we really need to reinvest in our nursing and our Healthcare professionals bring back all those benefits of pay patient care collaboration with our health care teams we need them at the table because they are key stakeholders and we need the government to listen to what their needs and wants are Max Johnson you are a patient who made a very difficult decision that's very simple leaving tens of thousands of people in pain is not a very sound Health policy I think from our perspective we need politicians to realize that the solution to these crises is going to be long-term and not necessarily beneficial in the next election Dr germantang you're an ICU doctor honestly I think we need to put more emphasis on prevention we can predict areas that are going to be of higher needs over the next few years or and what would what would that look like if we started to put more resources into areas that are going to be concerned mental health like this the fact that Mental Health Services especially exiting the pandemic people are still paying out of pocket to me baffles me it's not free and fair distribution of services the way Universal Health Care we think it is yeah and by definition it's not and and from my perspective as a nice u-doc we see the repercussions of not having that access I mean can you can you start off helping us understand though we talk about this as if this is Canada's problem but it's not unique to this country it's absolutely not unique to this country but we are we have a very strange profile in the advanced World in terms of how much we rely on the private sector to begin with we don't cover pharmacare which is very unusual we don't cover the things that keep people out of Hospital like Dental Care Mental Health Care all the rehab and we don't pay attention to the people that are actually providing the care and I couldn't agree more with Dr tremontan which is to say we need to keep people out of the hospital we're turning to the hospital because we don't have primary care we're turning to hospitals because people are don't have the care they need at home with people like Sarah we need to get people out of the hospital into the community with good primary care so the conversation that we need Solutions here's a province Ontario that's offering it we have problems with sort of hernia and cataracts you know what if you need them you can go to this private Clinic you're still not out of pocket and it will take you away from the public system on paper it seems like it might ease some of the pressure well they're not out of the public system we're paying 30 more for those Services because they happen to be for-profit clinics we could be running more of these cataract factories in the public system off-site of hospitals or even underutilized spaces in hospitals so how so how does it cost more money to make that happen to do those cataract surgeries in private club because this province in Ontario has offered for-profit clinics 30 more to incentivize them opening up talk about baffling it's interesting listening to to the conversation because as a patient we get very worried you know we hear all sorts of people talking about all sorts of problems all sorts of solutions but they don't seem to appear anywhere and the the principle of a funded Universal Health Care Program I think is one that almost everybody in the country would agree with but let me tell you that abject pain trumps ideology every day of the week I ended up going to Lithuania to have a knee replacement and I did it because it was a two-year waiting list in Winnipeg it was painful to walk painful to sit I couldn't work six weeks later I'm back from Lithuania nine weeks later I'm economically active again I probably paid more in income taxes in the two years that I otherwise would have been sitting in a wheelchair I fully understand why for an individual the idea that there is a a solution I can pay for is extremely attractive the problem is they pay for this care with the people that are leaving the public system the public system keeps getting worse so the people that don't have the money are getting continually inferior care and it's like so many things in the economy what's good for the individual is suicide for the system we know that there is no country in the world that has relied heavily on a for-profit system that delivers faster better cheaper care so we need to make the public system work better as we're talking about you know different clinics and private clinics they're not just buildings they're staffed with people they're staffed with people like Lynn because you you left the public system absolutely that is a huge loss yeah I'm thinking you're not that long out of a nursing school just like this one you know trained here went to school here started in the public system absolutely like this all looks so familiar it's like it was yesterday that I was back in school um it was a tough decision and don't get me wrong I I love being a nurse I just don't think it was the career that I expected it to be and I absolutely agree with this discussion like I'm a prime example like I feel as though there were lacking opportunities for training and growth and we need to leverage everyone's expertise and knowledge within the healthcare system and have them operating at their highest capacity that's one of the main Solutions is leveraging like personal support workers you could train personal support workers within a year and they have abilities to put in Foley catheters to put in IVs to do ECGs offload a lot of the work that our nurses are having to tackle yeah and why aren't we leveraging that what would make you go back I hard to say Adrian um I think we really need to re reinvigorate what it means to be a nurse and I think that's something that I lost passion for and do you feel that now in the private system I do I think there are things that I really value in a career and I value that flexibility that work life balance and actually being compensated for the work that I'm doing that doesn't seem like an unreasonable ask it's completely reasonable and it is insane that we have undervalued the work of people like Lynn in the public system by holding their wages in a province like Ontario at a one percent increase in the middle of a pandemic in the middle of a massive labor shortage preventing these people from taking vacations when they're burnt out and then wondering why do we need to turn to staffing agencies and pay 30 40 50 more but you know you can have a for-profit system for the people that can afford to pay if it's on top of a functional public system we already have that Executives don't go to public hospitals unless they're really sick and if they're really sick where do they go they go to emerge they go and get care in an ICU which is publicly funded and we are letting the public system Decline and you need to support these doctors and these nurses with nursing assistants medical scribes all the things that let these people that have got the most public training to do their job properly we're not doing any of it and and honestly the I I'll speak personally I could see way more patience if it wasn't for some of the some the paperwork I can see wait like I would honestly I love the idea of a medical script add the caregiver in that Circle 100 because we are of equal value we're treated like we're an inconvenience I come to say oh my God my husband's you know he's he's having a seizure I think and and they're like unless it's a doctor who sees it or a nurse who sees it it's like it didn't happen and your story is is is a double whammy of a story because you left the public system as a social worker to become a caregiver it was unbearable I couldn't do it I'm very lucky I have three hours of care right now and I do the rest and is the three hours care public or do you have to pay for that yourself I do not have to pay for it there are supports that I would love to have and I actually would even pay for some of them because I'm so desperate to have them but they don't even exist so this is a great example of where investment in prevention could have so much impact you can think of several examples of things happening at home where you're going to need a support that can't be offered at home and now you get into a merge and if you're admitted you're in you're in the emergency room for two or three days potentially like the this is where it falls apart I don't think people fully comprehend what kind of level of cost we're we're talking about I look at what's a fundamentally and apparently astonishing amounts of money spent on the administration I look at the four Atlantic provinces Manitoba Saskatchewan and the three territories we maintain nine Health authorities for under five million people one out of every 500 000 people is a health Minister it's absolutely astonishing there seems to be virtually no collaboration no cooperation between various health ministries the amount of inefficiencies in their Healthcare System is yeah is it because of the staffing issues you I don't get me started so like patients coming from a different jurisdiction that doesn't have we don't have access to their chart or their Diagnostic Imaging we don't have that CT let's just order another one like you want to provide the most efficient most reliable care to a patient you want to have that data in front of you not only that we don't even do some of the most basic system design issues like standardized waiting lists right so you've got actually a Clearinghouse of where the surgeries are where the backlogs are that you as a patient can choose to travel a little bit further and get that that that surgery in a place that is not quite as busy are you talking about a centralized waiting list within a province or across provinces anywhere thank you we don't have it in Ontario we don't have it across we don't even we don't even measure how many nurses are working in hospitals across the country we don't do the basic data sharing that we need to do it I wish the health ministers were sitting in this room right now I think we'd have to lock the doors actually but they aren't but they are listening I mean it's not so much about private and public it's about sitting there and thinking in 10 years time when I will be 10 years older and presumably disintegrate a little bit will there be a health system to a point I don't really care who delivers it I mean Max Lynn Dr Turman tank Sarah thank you very very much we appreciate your time everybody thank you so this is a big consuming conversation for the whole country so tomorrow morning you can hear a special edition of the current from Victoria BC Matt Galloway will host a public forum on the crisis in Primary Health Care and some more possible solutions that's at 8 37 a.m 907 in Newfoundland on CBC Radio just ahead on tonight's program why a victim of domestic violence is telling CBC News her story oh I'm Running Scared I'm I don't stay any place I I keep moving now why she believes an ankle monitor would keep her safe plus just listen to this the sound the Saskatchewan hockey rink that feels as old as the game will show you why it's become an internet sensation [Music] a survivor of domestic violence is speaking out about what she says is a gap in the safety system her estranged husband wasn't electronically monitored because he wasn't yet convicted as Julia Wong shows us some say that makes victims more vulnerable Jill Thompson's injuries are obvious I was on the ground and he was just hitting me continuously on my my head a violent assault is etched on Thompson's face and her arms a month earlier Thompson's house burned down the husband she's leaving is charged with both crimes now I'm Running Scared I'm I don't stay any place I I keep moving now a feeling of unease her estranged husband released from custody both times was supposed to stay away from her Thompson had little confidence in that and said it to so many people it's a piece of paper he knows it's a piece of paper she received an emergency protection order but says more measures could make her feel safer some provinces can electronically track those accused in domestic violence cases some like Alberta can do so after conviction others do not monitor at all Quebec is the only province in the country where both accused and victim can be monitored and the victim is alerted if the accused gets too close a former RCMP superintendent says that makes a difference I think it's a positive step forward and in dealing with those high-risk situations that we see in terms of once again making the victim feel safe mitigating the potential for harm to that victim in Ottawa a Quebec conservative Senator wants to see the rest of the country follow his province's lead I'm also surprised why just Quebec go ahead with with that with his own bill and other provincial premises don't move this is one of our family units this Alberta women's shelter opened two years ago and is almost always at capacity many hear fear being found people die right like people are murdered because of domestic violence so if this does protect people from losing their life I think it's a really important step proximity zone is our highest alert category this Alberta company designs monitoring devices owner Vince Morelli testified at last year's triple homicide inquest in Ontario's Renfrew County he's frustrated with a mishmash of monitoring programs you know it's just maddening we need to utilize the technology the police want the technology the women's shelters want the technology while tracking is a useful tool some Advocates say it does not get to the root of the problem prevention in early intervention really are the key to Breaking the cycle of domestic violence Jill Thompson's physical scars are healing she says more monitoring would have given her peace of mind it would just bring the the sense of Safety and Security to the the people who the the victim who doesn't know what to expect next for now at least she does her estranged husband is behind bars Julia Wong CBC News Edmonton for a sense of the magnitude of the problem the latest numbers from stats Canada show that in 2021 there were 788 homicide victims in Canada more than 10 percent of them were killed by an intimate partner change of pace when we come back we'll visit the Saskatchewan skating rink that is full of character we're going to keep her going as long as we can
