tonight Canada joins an international mission to protect a vital shipping route these attacks are Reckless dangerous and they violate international law cargo ships Under Siege in the Red Sea who's behind the attacks how it's connected to the Israel Hamas War and why the impact is global a Kia employee goes public and Blows the Whistle on a Secret Sales tactic I've been in the industry long enough to possibly understand and I don't anymore why vehicles are being held back even while customers wai
t and scientists watch as the world's largest iceberg is on the move for the first time in decades and then suddenly just seeing this six fance of white wool on the horizon this is the national with Asha Tomlinson thanks for joining us Adrien is We Begin tonight with growing tensions tied to the Israel Hamas War playing out in one of the world's most important trade routes cargo ships in the Red Sea are being targeted by houthi rebels based in Yemen they say in solidarity with Palestinians the R
ed Sea is a critical shipping route that leads to the Suz Canal today two more vessels in those Waters were hit by drones many shipping companies are now opting for a safer but longer route that takes them around Africa an International Coalition is now scrambling to provide security and Canada is playing a part Kayla Hansel takes us through that and how it's already impacting trade attacks like this by Yemen's houthi militia on ships in the Red Sea have been escalating a response it says to Isr
ael's assault on the Gaza Strip energy giant BP is now the latest to pause sending ships through the Red Sea causing both oil and European natural gas prices to rise if creating a disruption in global trade flows was the hou's intended um effect then yes we are going to see that level of disruption four of the world's five largest container shipping companies are now pausing Transit through the Red Sea many are diverting their ships around the southern part of Africa causing delays they're also
charging a war risk search charge that then is passed on to the consumer in terms of increased price this expert says those companies move everything from household goods to electronics to Telecom equipment between Europe and Asia but most Goods coming into Canada he says are not shipped through the Suez Canal so the fastest impact on Canadians may be the price at the pumps BP's announcement is Raising fears more companies may also stop sending their ships through the canal so much of global tra
de goes through the SE Canal it's about 12% of the total global trade volume that's a huge amount over the weekend Us and other military forces say they shot down more than a dozen drones in the area these attacks are Reckless dangerous and they violate international law and I would remind you that this is not just a US issue uh this is this is an international problem and it deserves an international uh response that International response involves a coalition of a number of countries including
Canada but a houthi spokesperson told Al jazer the group is ready to confront any Coalition all right Kayla what more can you tell us about Canada's involvement in this new International Coalition well the Pentagon says it will carry out joint Patrols in the southern Red Sea and in the nearby Gulf of Aiden we don't have a lot of details on Canada's involvement but a government Source tells CBC News Canada will be deploying a handful of personnel to the international task force but no ships we d
o expect more details on what those Personnel will be doing to follow Asha something to keep an eyee out for thank you Kayla the US defense secretary is also pressing Israel to shift how it's conducting its war with Hamas as Sasha petc shows us Israel is facing growing pressure abroad and at home as the horrors in Gaza Mount new images emerged of the panic at gaza's Nasser hospital after a tank shell slammed into the second floor hitting the bed of 13-year-old Don abum Mosen on social media afte

not another covid vaccine I am not aware about that I don't know you want to take care it is no mandatory I wouldn't New National Data shows uptake has dropped off few people in younger age groups of have gotten the newest shots and while coverage Rises with age only a third of adults in their 60s had the latest covid vaccines and less than half of those in their 70s or older if it's been more than 6 months and particularly for those high-risk folks uh it is really important to get it it gives
you this Extra Protection this vaccine clinic is trying to turn the tide since hundreds of Canadians are still being admitted to hospital every week with covid that risk remains far higher among seniors several medical experts told us that higher risk groups should treat these updated vaccines as essential not optional that means older adults people who are pregnant and anyone with serious medical conditions the virus keeps evolving Canada's chief medical officer of Health says the latest shots
are a better match for the virus strains circulating right now and can boost immunity that may have faded even protection against severe outcomes wains over time others worry those messages aren't reaching the public leading many Canadians to assume they don't need another around we shouldn't think of them as boosters anymore we should think of them as being like flu shots where we have to update them whenever there's a new variant of concern 77-year-old Alex chaper got the updated shot on Monda
y morning got to look after us and this is we've had everyone and with more holiday Gatherings around the corner doctors say it's not too late for millions of other Canadians to follow suit Lauren P CBC News Toronto the CBC News public team is exposing a secret and controversial sales tactic being used at Kia dealerships in Ontario and allegedly right across the country withholding vehicles from customers who are waiting for them Erica Johnson explains why he's worked for Kia for several years w
anted to go public about his concerns but he's also concerned about keeping his job so we're not identifying him he says he couldn't believe a scheme hatched by Kia Canada someone else is reading his words I've been in the industry long enough to possibly understand and I don't anymore the plan for the rest of the year keep new Kia vehicles in storage on car compounds that manufacturers use like this only release some even though many customers have waited well over a year for their vehicles the
strategy was delivered by KIA Canada's central region manager on behalf of top Kia Executives in a video call to dozens of dealer rep in Ontario last month and allegedly affects the whole country an employee recorded the meeting with the global slowdown Kia Canada wants to control wholesale and Retail performance in 2023 to not show high overachievement the manager says there's a high risk with over performance selling too many vehicles that headquarters in Korea will withhold the extra marketi
ng budget Kia Canada wants next year but let's be very very clear like this is a message that that comes from Kia Canada the chat box fills up with comments by frustrated Kia employees this shows a complete lack of respect for every dealer in Canada and our customers writes one person how to sell the bad news to customers who put down deposits they're told to blame logistical issues Mr customer we just been informed by K can that there's going to be some shipping delays for the balance of the ai
r this expert says all car manufacturers use sales schemes but calls this one unusual it is normal for automakers to use creative strategies at the very end of a year uh however usually those strategies are to help increase sales uh not reduce them and in this case he says it's the customer who pays it's not right to make customers wait even longer when they've already been waiting for so long and dealing with quite a bit of frustration there are thousands of Kia customers waiting for Vehicles r
ight now what does Kia Canada say about all this well Asha Kia Canada wouldn't give us an interview or discuss the video claiming it couldn't comment on what it called internal confidential business matters we also reached out to Kia Korea headquarters they had nothing to say now keep in mind that KIA is known in the industry for having some of the longest wait times for vehicles so even after all of these vehicles on compounds are released there will still be a backlog for many customers who pu

the horizon Laura Taylor took water samples near the iceberg to better understand how they affect ocean life you saw orcas and birds and things like that which wouldn't normally be that populous in that area of the water and yet they were all kind of gathered around the iceberg which was made it really interesting known as a23a it broke away from the Antarctic Coastline in 1986 but quickly became stuck on the ocean floor now it's moving again North possibly posing a problem for South Georgia isl

International migrants Day we caught up with a man who fled Afghanistan as a teen eight years later A lot has changed for him and for more recent migrants seeking a better life like he did but first the rawness of Life inside Gaza from a man who chose to stay and help family at one point had 50 people in this three-bedroom apartment now comes the difficult choice to leave I'm never going to see a lot of people that I love again I'm here with Lamar mm Muhammad galini's video diaries help us take
you inside Gaza bringing you closer to communities Under Siege here's Chief correspondent Adrien Arseno this little one is just 6 years old but by now she knows how this goes this is the fifth time she's moved out of her home in Gaza and every time the family moves again they're able to take less and less it's Rafa they're headed to now who knows for how long I guess our whole family has had the privilege of having this shelter I mean obviously they definitely suffered but they've also been shie
lded from the worst effects of having to like shelter in the streets or shelter in a school when the fragile and fleeting ceasefire ended in Gaza those who'd found relative safety in places like Han yunas realized they had to go again further south according to the UN 85% of gaza's 2 million plus residents are out of their homes so they're packing the car I guess mattresses on top of car have become a very familiar scene we at one point had 50 people in this three-bedroom apartment day by day ov
er the last five or six days a family here a family there left some went to the middle area some went to Rafa this is Muhammad galini an air quality scientist who lives in Manchester England but was visiting family and Gaza in October when the war started everyone here is preparing for the worst uh I am worried uh for what's to come despite an opportunity to leave early on in the war he stayed I don't even know what happened here and he sent us weeks worth of videos to show the reality of life o
n the ground it's the 13th of November I think it's the 36th day of the war now he was determined he could make a difference staying and helping that was then everything is different now Mohammad do you think you're okay God um no no I don't think I'm okay he's now in Cairo Egypt left days ago so while he's physically safe his mind is cruel I live I live with guilt firstly actually for everyone that I've left behind I guess to their face and I feel that I'm never going to see my home again I'm n
ever going to see a lot of people that I love again okay so hay has been practicing jumping from the chair and landing on his feet so I guess you'd reached a point where you thought you actually and I'm guessing here can't be useful to other people but you might end up being a burden on them yeah either I guess by taking resources but also by potentially being one of the casualty casualties of Israel's attack there was he said a moment when it was clear he had to go it wasn't long after this Eer
ie scene a Han yunas Market typically bustling even in the worst of War suddenly all but silent we had I guess rumors that our neighborhood was to be evacuated the whole street was dead it was really eerie I was feeling phone calls from everywhere saying what are you still doing there so yeah it's December 9th for the whole period of this war leaving has been suff a dilemma it's an impossible decision because basically staying ultimately gives is is you're afraid of death and destruction and inj
ury but also leaving um isn't that much safer you're going to the unknown of not finding shelter not having enough water not having enough food and so possibly dying I spent the morning listening to the air strikes around me and some of them sounded very close they shook in the house just like an earthquake before leaving he kept chronicling the world around him including the frequent messaging from the skies the warnings from Israel delivered by drone I'm on my way back uh from trying to get le
aflets the wind was blowing quite hard so uh kid actually on my way back had gathered quite a few and gave me uh gave me one this video from CNN Arabic seems to show the leaflets he's talking about being delivered they appear to show a quote from the Quran that references Noah's Ark and a warning about an incoming flood Muhammad and many others took it as a warning to them so I think that message relates to Israel's plan to pump seawater into the tunnels I think it's a message to the people rath
er than to Hamas I think it's a message to gazin just saying we're going to we're going to beat hanas you should join us speaking of drones just listen to the background of almost all his videos the drones don't seem to stop always watching Always greeting what is it like to hear the Drone droning on 247 it seems awful awful constantly there often really loud like it can go from being sounding I guess distant to sounding like it's the next street away it's also like the sense of being watched al
l the time we're going through walk while he was in Gaza he found that Beyond getting water and food for friends and family entertaining the kids keeping them calm was critical the ceasefire me a bit of a moment to breathe but just when they were relaxing the war came thundering back she doesn't really like fully grasp what's going on and I'm kind of like in some ways like glad of it that the children are not like fully aware uh obviously I mean they're they're not stupid they are aware but this
one I'm impressed about like how how resilient and fearless she is but I also hate the fact that she has to be he stayed with the kids as long as he could and then it was time to go a decision made quickly tough to leave the little ones behind the raff of Crossing not as busy because fewer and fewer people have the option to leave the road to Cairo lined with Aid trucks still desperately waiting to get into Gaza and Ciro itself comfortable but disorienting for a man whose heart and mind is stil
l in Gaz it was great not to hear the Drone not to hear any bombing everyone's going to think I'm mad I struggled to take a shower I don't want to leave Gaza behind and I feel like washing off the dust in the remnants of Gaza is like leaving it behind so I I did eventually take a shower Muhammad thank you very much and we reached out to the Israel Defense Forces to ask about the meaning of those pamphlets which Muhammad galini interpreted as a possible warning to gazin we have not heard back but
we do have word about galini's family in Gaza so far they appear to be safe if you want to see Muhammad galini's previous video diaries you can find them on our YouTube channel just search for CBC the national coming up almost a decade ago he put everything on the line for the dream of a new life far from home I want to in some way give back a little bit to the society the story of a teen's journey to Freedom his trauma and his gratitude that's next on the [Music] breakdown the harrowing journe
y of a teen migrant who fled Afghanistan for a better life I take risk I take a big risk we sure that we will die now 8 years later we meet him in Sweden and ask about his struggle to assimilate it's mentally very very hard but this man is no quitter the UN has declared December 18th International migrants Day so here's Jean fris bang to break down one migrant's Voyage to a new home we first crossed paths eight years ago on the coast of turkey it was in August 2015 in the middle of the largest E
xodus of the 21st century in Europe Muhammad Rari was just a teenager back then barely out of high school together with dozens of other Afghan migrants he was about to try and cross the agent SE aboard a rubber dingi hoping to reach grease of course it's not safe you know I take risk I take a big risk but I think it's necessary for my life Muhammad razah had never left his country before he was seeing and touching the sea for the very first time yeah it and it tastes salty this see he was unders
tandably apprehensive uh so that boat that sank um really I'm right now I'm really afraid you know even my food is shaking young man filmed his perilous Journey aboard this inflatable boat afraid he might not make it overcrowded the raft quickly started filling up with water and the engine stopped running the dingi drifted for8 hours before finally being rescued at that time we were hopeless we said that we're all dying you know we were sure that we will die this dramatic Journey made the headli
nes and left its [Music] Mark muhamed RZA is now 25 years old caught up with him in Gothenburg in Sweden where he now lives I study now at University here so here he was able to pursue his lifelong dream to go to university to be honest I really like it here but upon arriving he got off to a rocky start first few years it was very tough I couldn't speak Swedish I I was just a child it was it was very hard intensive language lessons however and years of immersion changed everything I speak Swedis
h better than my na language I feel more sweet than I feel Afghan to be honest over the past eight years Mohamed Rah had not looked back at those dramatic pictures yeah it's it's strange to see that yeah I was so naive and I yeah I thought it will be it would be fun but yeah it's uh it brings back a lot of memories to be honest the whole ordeal left him deeply traumatized I nearly lost my life twice on the road many many nights here in Sweden especially the first few years I cried myself to slee
p that I was in the dark I didn't know if I'm going to stay or not and that takes take a toll on you like it's mentally very very hard with time however things got better he spent some time in therapy met good people along the way and finally got his papers allowing him to stay I was lucky that I got to meet the right people at the right time who help me through stuff here we have uh my little sister and my my brother mhm she's not that little anymore she's like 20 years old now thanks to the re
sident's permit he was able to go back to his country and visit his family he had not seen for more than seven years catching up with his beloved little sister was long overdue yeah I miss her very much very much it was strange because she's almost as tall as me so I was like where is my little [Music] sister nowadays Muhammad resa's life isn't any different from that of millions of young sweds except that he doesn't take anything for granted and considers himself very lucky to be able to study
I love Sweden I love how liberal it is how free I'm not paying a tuition to go to the university here which is a dream for me because I I wouldn't be able to afford to go into University before coming to Sweden Muhammad razah wanted to become an engineer but he changed his mind along the way and is now studying to become a social worker well I want to work with people like have this human uh interaction I want to help people too so it wasn't a natural uh choice for me to be a social worker I've
been in that situation that I needed help and people help me after all those years all those opportunities the young Afghan feels like he owes a lot to his adoptive country I want to do good I want to help those who I can help I want to in some way give back a little bit to the society when he looks back at the clueless teenager he was 8 years ago Muhammad razah feels a lot of empathy for his younger self I was a teenager I was naive and learning by mistakes given those humble beginnings the her
oing journey to get to Sweden and the even longer Road traveled since feel like a huge accomplishment I am proud of how I've done in the past couple of years I wanted to have a future I have I wanted to have opportunities and options which I have now I think I made the right decision I think that I found what I was looking for back [Music] then Jean fris the story you just told us is one that ends well but that's not always the case right no muhamad himself told us how lucky he feels compared to
many of the people he traveled with a lot of them had problems adapting learning the language finding a job and many simply did not feel welcome and just trying to normalize their situation legally speaking was a struggle for most we all remember you know the millions of migrants from Syria from Iraq from Afghanistan who really swept through Europe in 2015 uh they were met with open arms pretty much everywhere but those days seem to be gone Asha that's clearly a thing of the past European count
ries have made it much harder to get in so the migration routs have changed most people now try to get to Europe by traveling across the Mediterranean Sea which is of course much more dangerous they go through Libya which is already very tough and then they tried to cross to Malta or Sicily in Italy aboard overcrowded rubber boats in really appalling conditions as a result many cap siiz and drown 61 died this weekend according to the UN which brings the death th this year above 2,200 that is a d
