is a Cbc podcast. I.

0:41

Know there's a lot of interest

0:43

in reports from the Middle East

0:45

overnight. We do not have any

0:47

comment at this time. The.

0:49

White House hasn't shied away much

0:51

from commenting during this conflict, so

0:53

silence from Washington after an Israeli

0:55

strike on Iran could be strategic.

0:57

An effort to further d escalate.

1:00

Is real to zheng anything about

1:02

the attack and in Iran it's

1:04

being downplayed. Possibly another sign of

1:07

stepping back from the abyss. Welcome

1:09

to your world tonight! I'm Tom

1:11

Harrington. It's Friday, April nineteenth, coming

1:13

up on six Eastern Time. Also

1:16

on the podcast. It's not just

1:18

Cowley, it's all of Alberta that

1:20

suffering people have had to sell

1:22

offers. Had to downsize saving water

1:24

and livelihoods in Alberta after a

1:27

dry winter and ahead of severe

1:29

drought expected this. Summer the province

1:31

has a plan to cut back on

1:33

water use and their owners have always

1:36

treated them like family. Now a landmark

1:40

viewed in the eyes of the law.

1:49

Israel and Iran appear to have pulled

1:51

back from the brink of an all

1:54

out war. Neither side is providing the

1:56

details of what exactly happened overnight, but

1:58

around claims that repelled. Modest Israeli

2:00

counterattacks that may have involved only

2:02

a handful of drones. as Chris

2:05

Brown reports from Jerusalem, observers believe

2:19

an incoming attacks inspired to intercept,

2:22

but it all appeared to be

2:24

over quickly. fellow. as far as

2:26

soon after, an amateur video was

2:29

posted showing people at the nearby

2:31

2:33

saying everything appeared to be fine

2:36

and secure. Triggered by

2:38

the presence of three. Small.

2:40

And around the no damage done

2:42

messaging was repeated on state television

2:44

reporting that the intruders were shot

2:47

down. Nothing has happened. Everything

2:49

is back to normal. Iran's. Claims

2:51

are impossible to verify and Israel

2:53

has not claimed responsibility or commented

2:56

at all. And the attack. But.

3:00

If that was it's response, it

3:02

represented a tiny fraction of the

3:05

firepower Iran's unleashed and Israel less

3:07

than a week ago, when three

3:09

hundred projectiles required the combined efforts

3:11

of Israel, Jordan, the Us and

3:13

Britain to shoot almost all of

3:16

them down. There is a consensus

3:18

of opinion that Israel wanted to

3:20

send a warning signals and one

3:22

that was carefully calculated to avoid

3:24

escalation in Jerusalem. Some said they

3:27

were disappointed. I think more. with

3:46

has left Israel facing and emboldened Iran's

and is really should now realize they

3:55

hard to cope with the running Axis

4:41

No one knows anything said Abdul

4:43

Jabbar our class. We have an

4:45

indescribable fear of the ceiling tonight

4:47

is that neither Iran nor Israel

4:49

wanted to escalate and both had

4:52

a mutual interest in stepping back.

4:54

But with both sides still locked

4:56

in the same struggle for dominance

4:58

in the region, the series the

5:00

pause could be temporary. Chris Brown,

5:02

Cbc News to resume. Diplomats.

5:05

Around the world have been urging restraint

5:07

from Israel in the wake of Iran's

5:09

attack last weekend. So today there was

5:11

a kind of collective release of the

5:13

outcome. But. Assassin Patristic reports

5:15

Israel's allies know containing simmering tensions

5:17

in the region would require a

5:20

great deal of follow up work.

5:23

Since. The

5:26

loudest reaction from Iran was on

5:29

the streets of the capital. the

5:31

kind of anti Israel protests that's

5:34

not uncommon here and always officially

5:36

orchestrated placard saying down with Israel

5:38

in English. But there were no

5:41

calls for revenge from Iran's leaders,

5:43

and that left world leaders to

5:46

guess whether the crisis had passed.

5:48

Join his side's unreal, no one's

5:50

owning up to it, no one

5:53

knows says Turkish president tape at

5:55

the one. Similarly, from british prime

5:57

minister rishi soon act with this

6:00

overnight, as you would

6:03

appreciate, it's a developing situation. It

6:05

wouldn't be right for me to

6:07

speculate until the facts become clear.

6:09

The U.S. has been working hard

6:11

to keep Israel from reacting strongly

6:14

to last Saturday's attack by Iran,

6:16

with many public and private warnings.

6:18

Today, at a meeting of G7

6:20

ministers in Italy, Secretary of State

6:22

Antony Blinken had much less to

6:25

say. The United States has not

6:27

been involved in any offensive operations.

6:30

What we're focused on, what the

6:32

G7 is focused on, and again it's reflected in

6:34

our statement and in our

6:36

conversation, is our work to

6:38

de-escalate tensions. Off the

6:41

record, U.S. officials say they were

6:43

told about Israel's move just before

6:45

it happened. Prime Minister Justin

6:47

Trudeau said it's time to

6:50

move on. All agree that everything needs

6:52

to be done to prevent further escalation

6:54

in the region, to get

6:56

back on a track towards supporting

6:58

people in the region. Security

7:01

analyst Mark Kensian calls it

7:03

a minimalist, compromise move by

7:06

Israel, responding to U.S. pressure.

7:08

Enough to make the point to the Iranians that the

7:11

Israelis can strike them when they need

7:13

to make a point that if the

7:15

Iranians strike Israel again, Israel can strike

7:17

them. Most agree the

7:20

rivalry between Iran and Israel,

7:22

now out in the open,

7:24

has changed the Mideast, with

7:26

Arab nations taking clear sides,

7:28

with Israeli observers like Uzi

7:30

Rabi from Tel Aviv University

7:32

seeing an anti-Iran coalition. And

7:34

this coalition is very, very

7:37

important in order to create

7:39

kind of a geopolitical structure

7:41

in the Middle East that should be

7:43

reckoned with from now on. But the

7:45

danger isn't over, says analyst Aaron David

7:48

Miller. The real problem now, I think,

7:51

is that the strategic competition between Iran

7:53

and Israel is going to continue. We

7:56

are not, by any means, out

7:58

of the proverbial woods. Perhaps on

8:00

this phase, yes, but not over time.

8:03

The conflict may move back into

8:05

the shadows, but the prospect

8:07

of all-out fighting remains.

8:10

Sasha Petrasik, CBC News,

8:12

Washington. Coming

8:17

right up, Alberta is taking big steps

8:19

to protect its water supply. With

8:21

a severe drought expected this summer, the province has

8:24

a plan to cut back. Plus, it's

8:26

like the Super Bowl for Taylor Swift fans.

8:28

The pop star's new album is out, and

8:30

it comes with a big surprise. Later,

8:33

how artificial intelligence is not just changing

8:35

the world, it is changing the world

8:37

of sports. The

8:45

Alberta government is preparing for yet another

8:47

year of drought. Today, it announced an

8:49

unprecedented new agreement to reduce water use

8:52

in the South Saskatchewan River basin. That

8:54

includes the areas around the Bow, Old

8:56

Man, and Red Deer Rivers. But

8:59

it's still not clear if the conservation plan

9:01

will be needed, or even how much it

9:03

will help. Joel Dryden explains.

9:06

I mean, if we get another dry year here, who knows

9:08

what's going to happen to a

9:10

lot of people in a lot of their

9:12

farms. That's Edward Dinkerville, who has a farm

9:14

near the village of Cowley in southern Alberta.

9:17

Last year, he had to haul water in

9:19

order to keep his animals hydrated. I mean,

9:21

it's not just Cowley, it's all

9:24

of Alberta that's suffering. People have had to sell

9:26

off herbs, had to downsize.

9:30

With the risk of severe drought

9:32

high this summer because of low

9:34

snowpack and already low river and

9:36

reservoir levels, the Alberta government has

9:38

announced a significant new plan to

9:40

conserve water in the semi-arid southern

9:42

part of the province. This is

9:45

the largest water sharing agreement in

9:47

Alberta's history. And of course,

9:49

this puts us in a position where we are

9:51

ready to respond. If we

9:53

are, in fact, in a significant Drought

9:56

later this year. But Alberta Environment Minister

9:58

Rebecca Schultz says it will... The

10:00

only be triggered if conditions get

10:02

to dire if the snow melt

10:04

and water levels are too low.

10:06

Participating municipalities have agreed to reduce

10:08

water use by between five and

10:11

ten percent Albert as largest city

10:13

as part of the plan, but

10:15

this afternoon Calgary 's adaptation manager

10:17

Nicole Newton said they're hoping that

10:19

can be done without asking residents

10:21

to limit their indoor water use.

10:23

Our biggest opportunity is and really reducing

10:25

to them. unsure. Evan Davies is

10:44

a water resources expert at the

10:47

University of Alberta. It does make

10:49

you wonder, however, what will happen

10:51

in future years if the drug

10:53

continues or if it works and

10:55

stayed. He says the biggest farm

10:57

irrigators in the province have water

10:59

licenses dating back decades, and some

11:01

have already agreed to cut back

11:03

water use significantly. And asking them

11:06

allegation. Is. Asking them to take

11:16

quite a large that, but it's not

11:18

clear to me what the alternative would

be. The Environment Minister says the province

is trying to modernize Albert as water

11:28

water conservation? Are there ways that we

12:07

gonna work where I can in

12:09

partnership with provinces that want to

12:11

like B C and others have,

12:14

and places where they want to

12:16

block the kinds of investments that

12:18

are going to help Canadians. I'm

12:22

just going to try and figure out

12:24

ways to help Canadians directly as necessary.

12:26

I'd always rather work with province's but

12:28

if we have to, I will go

12:31

around them and be there for Canadians.

12:33

The Alberta government has already said it

12:35

will pass a new laws banning Ottawa

12:37

from negotiating directly with it's city governments.

12:40

Tibet already has a similar law. A

12:43

14:02

Act, now recognizing pets as members

14:04

of the family. There will be changes

14:06

made to ensure that pets are not

14:08

treated as simply property, that their special

14:11

place in the family is considered by

14:13

the courts. So we're giving a voice

14:15

to animals in the court, which we haven't

14:17

seen before. Victoria Shroff is a lawyer who

14:19

specializes in animal rights and has been pushing

14:22

for these changes. She says before

14:24

it was simply whoever owns the pet gets to

14:26

keep the pet. Now the courts

14:28

will consider eight relational factors under the

14:30

new legislation. Who's the better owner going

14:32

to be in the circumstances? So looking

14:35

at things, for example, like the bond

14:37

between a child and the family pet

14:39

and who really took care of the

14:41

animals, not just who bought the animals.

14:43

She says BC is the first to

14:45

pass such legislation and other provinces have

14:48

since approached her to help bring in similar

14:50

laws elsewhere. It's stuck. As

14:52

for Bayat, it was all worth it.

14:54

It was all worth it. Honestly, I would do it all

14:56

over again. Danielle Fletcher, CBC

14:59

News, Surrey, BC. All

15:02

12 jurors and six alternates have been

15:05

chosen for Donald Trump's trial in Manhattan.

15:07

The former president is in court for

15:10

failing to properly account for payments his

15:12

lawyer made to adult film star Stormy

15:14

Daniels. The alleged transactions took place before

15:16

the 2016 election to keep their affairs

15:19

secret. Trump faces 34

15:21

felony counts of falsifying business records.

15:23

He has denied any wrongdoing. The

15:26

trial is scheduled to start on

15:28

Monday. Starting today, tens

15:30

of millions of people in India are casting

15:33

their ballots. India's democracy is

15:35

so big, it takes six weeks

15:37

to run their national election. Political

15:40

observers say Prime Minister Narendra Modi is

15:42

widely expected to secure a rare third

15:44

term in office. South Asia

15:47

correspondent Selima Shivji breaks down what's

15:49

at stake for Indian voters. The

15:52

lines grow as the day wears on in

15:54

India's north. For this, the first of seven

15:57

phases of voting in the biggest election the

15:59

world has had. has ever seen.

16:01

It's my duty

16:03

to vote, Salma Dilshad says, or

16:05

else nothing changes. One family

16:08

arrived at their polling booth minutes before it

16:10

closed, 15 members strong,

16:12

with a singular purpose. The

16:14

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is

16:16

the best, the matriarch Shoba

16:18

Jayne says he'll get a

16:20

massive majority. It's a

16:22

common threat at polling stations here

16:25

in Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous

16:27

state, with more people living here

16:29

than in countries like Brazil or

16:31

Pakistan. The state sends the most

16:33

MPs to India's Parliament, and it's

16:35

right in the country's Hindi heartlet,

16:37

where Narendra Modi is very popular.

16:40

It feels good to

16:42

have voted, this 28-year-old says. Who do you

16:44

think is the best leader for India right

16:47

now? If you

16:49

believe the polls, Modi is looking to cruise

16:51

to a rare third term as Prime Minister.

16:55

There's a friendly devotion at

16:57

his rallies, a religious fervor

16:59

with many of his supporters

17:01

comparing the politician to a

17:03

god. Modi, our god, has done

17:05

very good work, this man says. Modi's Hindu

17:07

nationalist agenda resonates deeply in many parts of the

17:14

country. Even as his critics charge,

17:16

he's targeting India's minorities and eroding

17:18

its secular constitution. Modi

17:21

also often leans into an

17:23

economic agenda, praising India's fast-growing

17:25

economy. But some say it's

17:27

a hollow message, with inequality

17:29

deepening and unemployment high among

17:31

the young. That

17:34

pain is felt on the outskirts of Delhi, where labourers

17:37

wait desperately every morning to be hired

17:39

for a casual day's work. Nuresh Mahathou

17:41

sends the meager money he makes to

17:43

his family two states away. What has

17:45

the Modi government

17:49

done for the poor? Nothing, he

17:51

says. Others like Naveen Ranga

17:53

waiting nearby and also unemployed fear

17:55

further division. All Modi has done.

18:00

is divide Hindus and Muslims. That's how he

18:02

works. But even with

18:04

some discontent, mostly the

18:07

opposition banded together in a fragmented

18:10

alliance as facing an uphill battle

18:12

in this election against a very

18:14

popular, if polarizing, Prime Minister.

Uttar Pradesh. Artificial

18:31

intelligence is

18:34

transforming the world, including the

18:36

world of sports. Today, Olympic

18:41

organizers shared their plans for the

18:43

new technology at the upcoming summer

18:45

games and beyond. They say

18:48

it could do everything from making judge

18:50

sports less controversial to scouting new talent

18:52

around the world. Sam

18:54

Sampson breaks down its many

18:57

possibilities. Kyle Schuselt twists

18:59

through the air three times

19:01

at his Calgary gym and lands with a smile,

19:06

20 years after his gold

19:08

medal in gymnastics, and the passion is

19:11

still there, as is the appreciation for

19:13

specifics. You have handstand positions. Are

19:16

you 10 degrees off or 20

19:18

degrees off? There's a variance of

19:20

deduction between those two things. So

19:23

a human eye can't necessarily always

19:25

detect that. But artificial intelligence

19:27

can. On

19:30

Friday, the International Olympic Committee described several

19:32

ways it's using AI at Paris 2024

19:35

and in the future. The opportunities and

19:38

capabilities that AI offers are far

19:40

reaching. Beyond making it easier to

19:43

broadcast the games around the world and

19:45

building efficient venues, AI will be used

19:47

during the events themselves as a judging

19:49

tool. AI Software can show

19:51

in real time if an athlete's body

19:54

hit a desired angle, how quickly a

19:56

person was traveling, or how in sync

19:58

a group performs. We

20:00

delivered information shoe felt believes

20:02

could eliminate judging biases and

20:04

errors. If a I would have a new than

20:06

two thousand and four in the all competition I think

20:08

I would have won a bronze medal along. With

20:11

the gold medal she felt almost placed

20:13

bronze in the vault that seems year

20:15

a judge however given opponent to sell

20:17

a higher score a controversial decision that

20:20

saw she felt place for i think.

20:22

That. This is actually going to create a more even

20:24

playing field. I would tell all young athletes as

20:26

as I've said something always need to embrace. This

20:30

is every possible before a I

20:32

20:34

20:38

can from Senegal side of the upcoming

20:41

Youth Olympics and use software to help

20:43

young athletes determine which sports they could

20:45

succeed in American Skiing. Olympian Lindsey Vonn

20:47

says that data could be the seed

20:50

of encouragement some athletes need early I

20:52

think, especially with social media now and

20:54

some sort of and sent knowledge. They

20:59

move on really quickly. am I don't

a teaser that official the Ios. He

21:17

didn't delve into cyber security concerns as

21:19

an issue somewhere he could be exacerbated

21:21

by increased use of Ai, but officials

21:23

did drive home one message. the use

21:25

of Ai in the Olympics is not

21:28

meant to replace athletes The humanity of

the games they say none touched. Sentence.

21:33

And Cbc News. Reader Adam. Taylor.

21:35

Swift's ability to dominate pop music and

21:37

pop culture. the showing no signs of

21:40

using up the singer song Superstar is

21:42

in the middle of the highest grossing

21:44

music tour ever for every movement. With

21:46

her Nfl Superstar boyfriend is. and

21:49

or net worth topped one billion

21:52

dollars this month today swift released

21:54

a surprise double album and as

21:56

of a moose a tells us

21:58

it's already smashing records Well,

22:00

we definitely definitely had a bit of a lineup this

22:02

morning Chris Evers is standing in front of

22:04

a large Taylor Swift display He manages

22:06

Sonic Boom a record store in downtown

22:08

Toronto That's seeing a

22:11

steady stream of Swissies intent on

22:13

buying her new record titled the

22:15

tortured poets department She's definitely

22:17

you know one of the top

22:19

selling vinyl artists for sure Ever says

22:22

Swift's new album will likely be

22:24

the store's biggest release of the year I

22:32

waited up all night to hear Releases and

22:34

keep on with tiktok and friends and

22:36

it was so exciting Even

22:39

though the pop superstar released her latest

22:41

music online at midnight Chelsea

22:43

Gibson says she had to have

22:45

her own personal copy of the

22:47

all-white vinyl album The

22:52

self-described super fan even wore her favorite

22:55

Taylor Swift sweater to mark the occasion

22:57

It makes it fun to have it

22:59

in Like by your

23:01

hand and you get that first When

23:03

it first clicks down and you get the crackle and

23:06

then the first song that's my favorite moment

23:08

for any vinyl But

23:17

Swift surprised them overnight with an

23:19

additional release an extra 15 songs

23:21

making it a double album The

23:24

lyrics like much of her other work details

23:26

heartbreak Giving fans a peek

23:29

into the personal life of a very

23:31

public performer. I think Speaking

23:33

as a woman. It's hard to get representation.

23:35

That is as diverse emotionally as she covers

23:45

Swift is known for being a

23:47

prolific singer-songwriter Years

24:00

On this latest venture, she's collaborated with

24:02

artists like Florence and the Machine

24:05

and Post Malone to deliver what

24:07

music journalist Melissa Vincent says is

24:09

a promise made to fans. I

24:12

think you see this real vulnerability and

24:14

of course that has been her hallmark

24:16

over the years, but we also see

24:19

Taylor Swift in present tense. So she's

24:21

reflecting on the past, but there also

24:23

are these really visceral responses to how

24:25

she's experiencing her life today. And

24:28

I think she's well aware that it's not

24:30

necessarily Taylor as the underdog, it's Taylor as

24:32

the supernova. According

24:34

to Billboard magazine, Swift's new album

24:36

is Spotify's most streamed album in

24:38

a single day in 2024 so

24:40

far, unseating the previous record

24:43

holder, Beyoncé's cowboy Carter, in less

24:45

than 12 hours. Yet

24:47

another milestone for the top recording artist

24:49

in the world. Ibbel Moose,

24:52

the CBC News, Toronto. We'll

24:58

close with a cat that came

25:00

back, though not the very next

25:02

day. This cat reappeared after

25:04

two weeks and more than 1,500

25:06

kilometres. How

25:09

he has sustained himself in the last two

25:11

weeks is another mystery. We have no idea,

25:13

but it's an absolute miracle that he's here.

25:16

Here is Springbook PEI. Tony Diodati

25:18

and Hugh Jones were moving there

25:21

from southern Ontario. It was a

25:23

road trip to a new home.

25:25

They had all their stuff, including two dogs

25:28

and their cat, Riley. But then, a

25:31

little mishap along the way. Somewhere

25:33

at a rest stop in Ontario, the

25:35

feline made a beeline. They

25:37

wondered if Riley has nine lives as

25:39

he run out. They even had

25:41

a mechanic look under the hood. But

25:44

there was no sign of him, so we thought

25:46

we'd lost him. Two weeks later, he

25:49

was sitting on the steps out in the backyard.

25:51

I said to him, are you Riley?

25:54

And he just looked at me, and then all

25:56

of a sudden he went, meow. Maybe

25:58

that's a cat chat for him. I've seen

26:01

some things man is still a bit

26:03

of a mystery how Riley made it

26:05

to their new island home In the

26:07

cars undercarriage may be hitched a ride

26:09

or did he come through and the

26:12

clutch in the an the part is

26:14

well let's friend said that they can

26:16

serve as I say. They

26:19

saw was that guy a goner sought

26:22

a chance. He still live in the

26:24

life of Riley. This has been your

26:26

role Tonight for Friday, April, my teeth

26:28

and on Harrington. Thanks for

26:31

listening tonight, Css. For.
