first papal visit and his last stop i'm adrian arsenault in ikalowitz the people in this crowd here to see the pope are survivors and their families from all over the north they know they don't have much time with them so they want to be clear bring the abusers to justice and take note the schools tried to kill the culture and it still lives the weight of this moment for the people here what was accomplished on this trip and what's next we've done our part and now it's up to the church to do its part [Music] the story behind one of the most powerful scenes of the pope's visit silence is power but i couldn't remain silent i'm anita bath in vancouver also tonight more overwhelmed hospitals forced to close their doors as health care workers describe a system in crisis how many staff are working today or are we going to have enough beds plus toronto becomes world renowned for the wrong reason seven hour delay flight cancelled now i'm looking for my baggage the far-reaching effects of the chaos at pearson airport this is a national embarrassment this is the national [Music] tonight the final stop for pope francis on his pilgrimage of penance to canada just hours ago his plane left here left at halloween for rome ending a six day tour that the pope said today had changed him he said he was touched by the closeness of indigenous families and their devotion to tradition the very things residential schools work to undo many indigenous people still ask what's changing for them today right here more survivors and more indigenous artists seized this opportunity of a lifetime to leave their impression but also there were much more direct messages calls for further action juanita taylor shows us a remarkable day for nunavut but she begins with one woman's very personal memories that today she shared with pope francis and they would have chipped it into shape this collect is one of alexina kubler's most sentimental pieces from her childhood the traditional inuit oil lamp made of soapstone belonged to her mother kublu brought it with her when she spoke to pope francis today telling him that she and her five siblings had attended residential school and how the legacy of those schools damaged not only children but also parents i'm going to talk about my mother's pull-up because this good luck is an epitome of the good luck of all those mothers who like my mother would just at times just sit there just staring at the flame kublu joined about a hundred people including survivors inside nekazuk school for a private meeting with pope francis [Music] various inuit artists then performed for the pope before he addressed the thousands who came out for this historic visit on inuit nunangat to hear him say sorry in inuktitut you have come to love these places to respect cherish and enhance them passing on from generation to generation such basic values as respect for the elderly genuine fraternity and care for the environment tanya tungillik's late father marius tungilik was forced to go to residential school she met with the pope on his behalf he would have wanted justice he would have wanted the pope to apologize for the the church's role in the residential schools and for hiding the clergy knowing what they had done pope francis was given a traditional inuit drum by a survivor his stop in ikalow it lasted only a few hours but many here hope that in the spirit of reconciliation there will be action hopefully opening up the beginning of something it's not the end this is the beginning of hopefully helping our people to fully recover from the horrific way so juanita the pope um heard from survivors today but very specific case a fugitive oblate priest who is accused of sexually assaulting uh little ones in in the 60s and 70s what more can you tell us about that that's right adrian tanya to malik who you saw in our piece her father was an alleged victim of that priest johannes revoir and actually he was the first to raise the alarm that revoir had these alleged crimes going on now river is 92 years old he lives in france currently and this week the canadian government announced that they have asked that he be extradited to canada to face justice but that is unlikely to happen because there is no extradition treaty now today survivor peter elneck also asked that the pope intervene and press for rivers return to canada as well adrian inuit kennedami president natan obed he made the same appeal last march in rome all right we'll keep watching this juanita thanks you and your team for all of your work on this welcome as always now maybe you're wondering what the pope was thinking while watching and listening to the throat singers the drummers and the dancers that he saw today did he feel that [Music] we wanted to know what they wanted to say so we took a moment during rehearsals yesterday to sit down and talk about all the church-run schools all that those schools stole from them and all they still fight to get back getting ready for this day for the pope there was the sort of nervous energy anyone about to perform feels but performers really isn't the right word for who they are maybe let's call them guardians protectors of what was very nearly stolen forever from them as kids what the pope is going to see with what his church forbid us to do when we were going to a residential school in the 1950s and 60s in chesterfield england if we would have tried to sing uh oh canada in inductive duty 1958 and 1959 we would have been severely punished by the church peter ernick talks of abuse because he felt that cruelty at catholic hands you know he's been thinking of what to say to the pope for a very long time was trying the words out in rehearsal i respecting one another in the name of peace and harmony this is more than a group of artists like pizza some are survivors some flying in for this from cambridge bay in the kitchen region after diligently preserving the music and memories left from elders who learned it before it was snatched from him [Music] julia ogina a survivor of the trauma of day school keeps the rehearsals going week after week her daughter and granddaughter too there's joy and fun in this as it should have always been but the hurt was real and it's never far that apology means something for me it means something for all the others that have gone and have experienced this because i've heard from many that we were lucky i consider myself lucky being in federer federal day school because i was able to go home at the end of the day and those the not as lucky ones as she puts it are the souls on her mind if there's pressure here excitement too it's not really about the extraordinary visitor i'd like to say i'm not doing this for the pope i'd like to say that we are doing this for the people to show that we are together and does this matter with the pope does this matter he made us a stage to showcase to the rest of our people if it wasn't him coming here and thankfully to people like beta illness for working hard to get him here we wouldn't have this opportunity to feel i like to believe our language and culture needs a stage [Music] it does bigger than this more often than this but the moment in the light still matters [Music] now the work begins to make some sense of the last six days did the pope's apology here uh really fulfill that crucial call to action thomas dagla looks at that and what might come next at an audience with the pope prompted by the discovery of children's unmarked graves three women carried cradle boards a dramatic reminder of the childhoods lost to residential schools our whole world is in this cradle board and if we don't make it right we have to make it right before the pope's arrival the women were told to leave or sit in the back it was a state event in which our own leadership as indigenous people was not heard and while the cradleboard was in the room the pope did not see it church officials later saying there wasn't enough room for everyone but again causing friction on a carefully choreographed trip that's drawn mixed reviews i said i don't want to be holding anything in my heart you know i just want to move forward we've done our part especially with the kind of energy and effort we put into this week and now it's up to the church to do its part canadian bishops say they'll present an action plan in the fall leaving many to wonder what if any concrete measures will follow the pope leaves canada having delivered no apology on behalf of the catholic church itself instead he promised a search for truth with no details and the vatican is said to be working on a statement about the doctrine of discovery that spurred colonization it's about ending the patterns of domination and dehumanization that the vatican put into motion it's been seven years since the truth and reconciliation commission called on the pope to come to this country and apologize in centuries since the harms began some indigenous leaders are still having to look to the future for answers about the past jagger cbc news quebec city there have been some remarkable moments in this trip like when pope francis first told residential school survivors he was sorry on their land which was followed by this [Music] there has been a lot of discussion about just what that singer said in crete to the pope well tonight you'll hear it from her that's in just a few minutes first though it's over to anita bath in our vancouver newsroom with the day's other big stories hi there anita hi adrian we'll see you soon many other provinces are experiencing a health care staffing shortage and tonight doctors and nurses in ontario are sounding the alarm after yet another icu has been forced to close its doors as ellen morrow reports ontario's health system can't take much more nurse erim chogala grapples with difficult questions every day as ontario's hospitals buckle under incredible strain how many staff are working today or are we going to have enough beds for our patients today how bad is it going to be today some hospitals are struggling to even stay open an icu in bowmanville near toronto is closing indefinitely the ontario nurses association says 14 hospitals will be operating at reduced capacity this long weekend senior citizens pregnant women children will remain on an er gurney for two to three days awaiting their admission hospital the crisis healthcare workers say is being driven by a lack of beds and a lack of nurses systemic shortcomings made worse by the pandemic and some argue the government of ontario premier doug ford we may reach a point of no return nursing associations point to deteriorating working conditions and bill 124 forward government legislation that caps wage increases for nurses at one percent they are more and more exhausted and they don't see the help coming ontario's health minister sylvia jones declined a cbc news interview request in a statement her office wrote since the start of the pandemic we've added more than 10 500 health care workers but the province's efforts have seemingly done little to stop this emergency you know it makes me wonder if our politicians family members were in those beds i wonder if things would change judy stewart recently spent 12 hours in an ottawa er with a broken ankle the nursing staff were literally running at times they were literally running that pressure is the day in the life of chogala it's not easy we're just trying to take one step at a time ellen morrow cbc news toronto turning now to canada's busiest airport it's dealing with a big pr problem frustrated travelers at toronto pearson are complaining about long lineups and flight delays and the international media has noticed sofia harris now on concerns these travel troubles could affect tourism this is what was in the suitcase this is our rapid cut machine and it was critical to our business meeting business owner eric griffin flew to toronto's pearson airport last month to market this machine which makes mobile phone screen protectors but things didn't go as planned griffin said his plane sat on the tarmac in toronto for at least two hours then his suitcase containing the machine went missing and his return flight was cancelled so he decided to drive home to philadelphia how would you sum up your experience at pearson airport uh really zero out of 10 stars it i don't think it could have gotten worse pearson's reputation has taken a hit lately due to mass complaints about travel chaos seven hour delay flight canceled now i'm looking for my baggage airports around the world are struggling due to surging demand at a time of labor shortages but pearson has garnered special attention for having the highest rate of flight delays this summer among the world's 100 busiest airports media heavyweights the bbc cnn and the wall street journal have each covered the story this is a national embarrassment in the short term this is clearly going to impact canadian tourism why would anyone decide to travel through pearson airport it's almost as if it's a dare we're hearing about it some people in the travel industry are also concerned folks are deciding that you know what based on what we're seeing we're just not going to travel to canada to ontario to toronto because it's seen as being too cumbersome the federal government and the greater toronto airport authority which runs pearson say they've been working hard to increase staff and speed up the movement of passengers and that the situation is improving still griffin plans to drive to his next toronto business meeting in september for peace of mind i can predict when i'll get there and when i'll get home sophia harris cbc news toronto tim hortons says it has reached a proposed settlement in class action lawsuits alleging violation of customer privacy the settlement a free coffee and a doughnut for each affected user an investigation by privacy watchdogs in three provinces found that users of the tim hortons app had their movements tracked and recorded frequently the company also says it will delete any location data it may have recorded that deal still needs to be approved by the courts a ruling today from the supreme court of canada with important implications on the issue of consent and the use of condoms during sex as marina von stackleberg explains the decision could change the way courts rule in some sexual assault cases anna de bella says when she met up with a guy on a dating app she agreed to have sex she did not agree to him removing the condom midway through without her knowledge what she alleges happened to her goes by the slang term stealthing i was in shock i had never heard of it and i just could never comprehend that someone would ever do that dybella's civil and criminal court proceedings against the man were put on hold while the supreme court decided on a similar case to hers i can't say i was jumping with joy to be honest because it felt like such a little win now the majority of the judges have ruled consenting to sex with a condom does not imply consenting to sex without one writing it not only affirms that individuals have the right to determine who touches their bodies and how it situates condom use as the definitional core of consent where it belongs the case they ruled on happened in 2017 in bc a man named ross mackenzie kirkpatrick and a woman met online she consented to sex with a condom the second time they had sex she thought he reached her one from the bedside table but he didn't he was charged with sexual assault but was acquitted mr kirkpatrick had never at no point in time tried to deceive the complainant that he was wearing a con but now the supreme court has unanimously agreed to order a new trial this expert on sex assault law says the decision could lead to reform there's been such a lack of clarity in our law on this question that people don't know whether or not it constitutes sexual assault and are therefore less likely to report it to the police anna de bella says she spent weeks convincing rcmp to investigate her case i was told over and over again by the police that this wasn't a crime and i'm so thankful that i was persistent a recent online survey of nearly 600 canadian undergraduate students found that one in five of them say they have been victims of stealthing marina von stackelberg cbc news ottawa cbc news has learned former leader of the green party of canada elizabeth may is going to run again for her old job sources say may is proposing to run as co-leader something that would need approval from party members the 68-year-old stepped down in 2019 and currently sits as one of two green party mps the deadline to officially join the race is august 5th there was a display of pride and protest at the start of the commonwealth games tommy's running in support of lgbt plus rights from center stage in england activists from dozens of countries send a message back home god i'm still very emotional about it it was an enormous moment and later will smith addresses his oscar night slap and sends a message to chris rock my behavior was unacceptable first though the story behind one of the most powerful moments of the pope's visit [Music] her raw emotion was clear enough but her words were unknown to many well tonight she shares her message with us silence is power but i couldn't remain silent we're back in two welcome back to iqaluit where just a short time ago pope francis wrapped up his canadian visit by apologizing here to residential school survivors over the last several days he's done that again and again this has been a trip focused on reconciliation met by some with gratitude by others with protests it's been a whirlwind so a step back to let some of it sink in the pope's plane which took off from home earlier today is now touching down in edmonton [Music] nobody was expecting him to have the window rolled down and arm out and waving and smiling i mean so he's a human being but he's the pope [Music] hey [Music] that i am deeply sorry [Applause] is [Applause] in the name of the father of the song and of the holy spirit peace be with you hey [Applause] this has been a week of great expectations and great promise that the pope will connect in a deeper way with first nations metis and inuit communities quite late last night we decided we needed to we needed to have some action here [Music] in canada the church in canada after being hurt and devastated by the evil perpetrated by some of its sons and daughters has set out on a new path i think in particular of the sexual abuse against minors and vulnerable people [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] you were made to fly to embrace the courage of truth and the beauty of justice [Music] [Music] so as you saw this trip began in alberta with what so many were waiting for that first apology to residential school survivors but there was another standout moment that day and it came when this woman started singing in cree to the tune of oh canada and then delivered a message to the pope the emotion on her face was so stark and tonight she tells karen paul's what she said and why [Music] an unscripted moment a ballad to the land and the village sung to the tune of o canada in cree by sipiko an indigenous woman from northern manitoba also known as trina francois she then spoke directly to pope francis you hereby serve spoken law we the daughters of the great spirit and our tribal sovereign members cannot be coursed into any law any treaty that is not the great law we have appointed chiefs on our territories confirm yourselves accordingly hi hi does not mean thank you it means that i have nothing more to say she hadn't planned to speak but says she had to when the pope put on a headdress over his skull cap to her a sign of disrespect silence is power but i couldn't remain silent the moment was shared around the world people saying they were shaken to the core her pain echoed theirs this 60 scoop survivor never learned her traditional language so she didn't understand what was being said still it resonated deeply a lot of people across canada she spoke for a lot of them and the fact that it's a woman is even that much more powerful i love the fact that she had the courage to say what she said and to take a stand for what she believes in this elder is from cipico's home community he says she sent an important message to the pope the catholic church and the colonizing countries they had no right to come in and do what they did to displace our traditional ancestral sacred laws that we had in place she's asserting that we still have that and that we wish that to be respected and that the pope should acknowledge that brenda hatt says the message is even more powerful now that she understands it all the hundreds of years of trying to wipe us out in canada and i don't say that lightly there was a plan to genocide the indigenous people of canada but you know what we're still here i hope that it brings the people back to the land our way of life long after the pope leaves canada this image of resistance strength and spirit will remain karen pauls cbc news winnipeg this really is a heavy week for anyone affected by residential schools and so once again this reminder that their support you can reach a 24-hour national crisis line by calling 1-866-925-4419 and so some big size of relief here in iqaluit that the visit is done everywhere we've been this week people have talked about how jarring it all was some were surprised by their own reactions we saw those enormous spikes in the calls to the helpline it is so important that that help is there but it's so brutal that the need is that acute and such an extraordinary mix of motions here here in ocala there was a lot of laughter and a lot of smiling today which is not to say that the hurt is not excruciating but it was explained to us that there was this huge determination to focus on showing the world the strength of their traditions and as for whether the apologies are accepted it only really matters what the survivors think and they're still thinking and if i may for everyone uh the national and our cbc teams across the country everyone we met this week thank you for being so open and so gracious and that's it for us here in the amazing iqaluit tonight now it's back to anita bath in vancouver with much more of tonight's news anita thanks so much adrian both

it forced the closure of a major highway cutting off thousands of people from parts of the island and at least 16 people are confirmed dead and that number is expected to grow after catastrophic flooding in kentucky rescue workers are desperately looking for survivors hundreds of homes are still under water and many roads and bridges completely impassable tens of thousands remain without power and some residents had to be rescued from their rooftops the state's governor says the devastation could take years to recover from hundreds will lose their homes and this is going to be yet another event that it's going to take not months but likely years for many families to rebuild u.s president joe biden has declared a major disaster and is making federal funds available there are fears that ongoing heavy rainfall could trigger more flash flooding in the region there's also widespread flooding in the united arab emirates the bodies of at least seven people have been recovered roads and buildings are underwater some areas saw a year's worth of rain in a day both russia and ukraine are blaming each other for an attack that's reportedly killed dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war they were captured after the city of mariopol fell to the russians briar stewart spoke to a woman whose husband was being held at the prison inside this prison the charred remains of a horrific attack dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war were killed at least 70 were injured this prison is in a territory controlled by russian-backed separatists and they point the blame at ukraine this military official said ukraine killed its own soldiers because it didn't want them disclosing battlefield secrets ukraine called the missile strike a terrorist attack an attempt by russia to try and shift the blame marianna deneka says there's no doubt russia is responsible i want to tell russia that we're not zombies who believe what they want us to believe she said danica's husband's fiat slav syria was in the prison when she spoke to him two weeks ago like many in custody there he was with the azov regiment part of a group that surrendered from the embattled steel plant in mary opal in may she told us she's desperately waiting to hear if he survived it's not dying like a warrior it's just being murdered she said i'm having severe anger the missile strike overshadowed what was supposed to be a momentous day a ukrainian port back open and ships loaded with grain waiting to depart we hope that both the vessels and the people will be safe said ukraine's president vladimir zelinsky the people involved are risking their lives g-7 ambassadors including canada's ambassador larissa galadza were at the event pushing for russia to honor the deal brokered by the u.n and turkey we call on on russia to agree to the corridors that are needed to ship the grain and and we hope to see that soon if that happens it will be one bright spot in a country still mired in the horrors of a deadly war briar stewart cbc news toronto the commonwealth games are now underway in england but a moment at the opening ceremony was meant to send a message well beyond its borders tommy's running in support of lgbt plus the push for equal rights in dozens of commonwealth countries plus it's nerve-wracking it's literally every great magician i grew up reading about they're basically the olympics of magic and canada is hosting we'll take you inside a little later welcome back canadian swimmer summer mcintosh has won canada's first gold at the commonwealth [Applause] the 15 year old from toronto also set a new commonwealth record with that stunning performance canada is currently number four in the games and amid the celebrations and competition a push for social change yesterday's opening ceremony contained a message of tolerance featuring lgbt athletes and activists anti-lgbt laws still exist in dozens of commonwealth countries but as katie nicholson tells us some say organizers should take a closer look at the origins of those laws at a games that pride themselves on being friendly a rare political moment tommy's running in support of lgbt plus rights a pointed reminder that homosexuality is still a crime in 35 commonwealth countries an admirable gesture says the head of diversity and inclusion at birmingham pride there's just one thing we didn't have any laws that criminalized lgbtqi individuals before the british arrived sima razak's family emigrated from pakistan we think about the history and context of the commonwealth and how those laws came into the commonwealth well it was at the hands of colonialism so if the people who did the colonising are now saying oh well you need to do better there's no nuance there organizers say they don't want to tell other countries what to do but they do want to create a safe space for conversation and all athletes like pride house here in birmingham's gay village a welcoming drop-in center to kick back and connect during the games where we caught up with jason jones in 2018 he won a court challenge in trinidad and tobago decriminalizing gay sex and tonight has been joined by flag bearers last night he stood in the spotlight alongside lgbtq athletes god i'm still very emotional about it it was an enormous moment jones understands the role colonialism played in creating anti-gay laws but says the message from the games last night will resonate among those who need it most a simple thing like last night going into people's living rooms is so enormous it gives people hope and seeing themselves being reflected in such a huge arena that's you know that's immeasurable in what it does to people people's feelings about themselves and perhaps even someday it could change laws katie nicholson cbc

and there's been great magicians since like sean farquhar who's won the grand prix and many other magicians so we're making our mark now and this is great and canada has grown in the magic industry in
