tonight an unexpected Revelation from the Princess of Wales Catherine says she has cancer this of course came as a huge shock after surgery and months of wild speculation Catherine's message to the public it has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family what we know about the diagnosis treatment and the announcement that caught so many off guard a deadly attack in Moscow gunman opened fire at a concert hall we break down why Isis is claiming responsibility a historic Canadi
an win I knew I was older than everybody else trying to come back and do this but I felt like I could what it takes to become a world champion at 40 from CBC News this is the national with Erica Johnson thanks for joining us Ian is away after weeks of widespread speculation rumors and conspiracy theories about her health Katherine the Princess of Wales made a shocking announcement she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment my work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and
I look forward to being back when I'm able but for now I must focus on making a full recovery in this personal and candid video Catherine describes the diagnosis as a huge shock the princess requesting privacy as she and her family navigate this challenging time Kensington Palace says Katherine waited to share the news until her children were on school break away from media coverage Chris Brown now with the stunning disclosure and the reaction Catherine had barely been glimpsed in public since
Christmas which had fed Furious internet speculation and Wild conspiracy theories about what might be going on yeah very happy Christmas it has been an incredibly tough couple of months for in an unexpected video the Princess of Wales herself provided the answer in January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous the surgery was successful however a test after the operation found cancer had been present Catherine did not say
specifically what type of cancer she was diagnosed with only that she began treatment at the end of February my medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I'm now in the early stages of that treatment on the Streets of London the unexpected news caught people off guard I'm absolutely devastated cuz she's a sweetheart whenever anybody you know gets cancer it's a horrible thing to hear you know the most common cancers we think about are coloral
Cancers this on olist says the fact Catherine used the term preventative chemo is significant the goal of further treatment or preventative treatment is to try to keep the cancer away and reduce the risk of recurrence so that's an optimistic phrase to use in talking about the use of chemotherapy speculation about Catherine had been fueled by Kensington Palace handing out a manipulated family photo and her husband Williams skipping public appearances but Royal Watchers expect the s now will be sy
mpathy this gives context to uh Prince William pulling out of the memorial service for his late Godfather King Constantine even arguably the furor about the photoshopping of the Mother's Day picture can be forgiven now knowing what she's been going through Catherine is the third person associated with the royal family to announce they have cancer after King Charles and Prince Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson The Duchess of York in aate statement the king praised Catherine's courage for speaking o
ut about her diagnosis Prince Harry and his wife Megan who haven't seen William and Catherine since the queen died also wished her health and healing Katherine's illness will diminish the Royal Family's already reduced public presence she was supposed to return to official duties after Easter but now says she'll be off until she's better Chris Brown CBC News London Catherine is far from alone confronting a daunting diagnosis as Christine beak explains the princess is actually part of a growing c
ohort of cancer patients all under the age of 50 at 42 the Princess of Wales is seemingly young and healthy which may lead you to ask a question medical researchers have also been asking why are so many young people getting cancer there's studies that have shown that in certain cancers the rates are rising amongst younger people an American study examining patterns in cancer incidents among people younger than 50 from 2010 to 2019 found rates of early onset cancers increase substantially adding
gastrointestinal cancers were the fastest growing we are unfortunately seeing more incidences of younger people being diagnosed with cancer in particular colon cancer and at this point it's really um unclear what's driving that I mean the potential factors are uh things like Diet nutrition um lack of exercise or more sedentary lifestyle obesity we don't know what type of cancer Catherine is dealing with we do know she's receiving preventative chemotherapy Kensington Palace says she's expected to
make a full recovery I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in Canada 45% of people are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime most commonly lung breast prostate and coloral and while the number of cancer patients aged 40 to 50 are worrying the vast majority of patients are older Canadians we believe that if most Canadians were proactive and participated in screening programs at the appropriate age there be a significant decreas
e in the number of cancer related deaths and while Kate may be among the most high-profile people dealing with a cancer diagnosis she knows she's not alone for everyone facing this disease in what form please do not lose Faith or hope you are not alone Christine b CBC News Toronto and stay with us for more on Katherine's cancer diagnosis just ahead we'll talk to an oncologist about that preventative chemo why it might be necessary plus a top royal Watcher on how the family is holding up with two
senior members now dealing with cancer that's in about 25 minutes to a breaking story from the Moscow area now the city is in shock after several gunmen stormed a crowded theater Isis has claimed responsibility security officials say at least 60 people are dead and 100 injured crocus City Hall seats more than 6,000 people a concert there tonight reportedly sold out during the attack it either caught or was set on fire fire Crews struggling to contain the Flames the situation inside more horrify
ing inl Musa now with what we are seeing and hearing including unverified and a warning here disturbing images of what's believed to be the deadliest attack on Russia in years dressed in combat fatigues at least four gunmen burst into a concert hall in Moscow firing automatic weapons into crowds calmly and methodically killing dozens of people Russian media says the attackers set this massive fire partially collapsing the roof we heard gunshots at first we didn't understand what had happened say
s this witness then I personally saw how the terrorists came in started shooting everyone in the end they threw a Molotov cocktail everything was set on fire about a 100 people were rescued from the basement of the venue taking shelter from what Russian officials call a bloody terrorist attack Isis has claimed a responsibility a claim bolstered by US security officials the images are just horrible and uh just hard to watch and our thoughts obviously are going to be with the the victims of this t
errible terrible shooting attack the US Embassy in Russia had warn that extremists were planning an attack in Moscow the Russians are Enemy Number One for Isis they have been attacking Isis in Syria as the Russians have supported Assad the Russians have of late been increasing their influence uh in Africa to help those African countries in their fight with Isis Vladimir Putin was briefed on the incident Russia's president has just secured his fifth term amid Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine keth
denied any involvement in the attack Moscow has canceled all mass Gatherings this weekend and tonight stands a billboard in Russia's capital with the words we grieve ilel moose CBC News Toronto okay let's bring in our Russia correspondent Brier Stewart in London tonight Brier Moscow has suffered attacks in the past but this is a shift yes Erica Russia really hasn't seen the scale of this kind of attack in Russia and really over a decade in the late 90s and early 2000s the country was rocked by a
series of terrorist attacks including in 2002 when hundreds of people were taken hostage at a theater in Moscow by chin Rebels more than 130 died now earlier this month on March 7th Russia's Security Services said it prevented an attack on a synagogue in Moscow that had been planned by ISIS shortly after that the US issued an advisory saying that it was monitoring reports that extremists had imminent plans to Target large gatherings in Moscow including concerts and they warned US citizens to av
oid avoid large Gatherings for the next 48 hours and you had other governments that then issued similar warnings now earlier this week Russian President Vladimir Putin called those warnings a provocation by the West he described them as an an attempt to intimidate and destabilize the country now after this attack there will be questions both in and outside of Russia about how the country handled the warnings and how it's responded to this attack and Brier this story broke as you were preparing a
nother story a Canadian exclusive Paul Wan a Canadian Citizen and former US Marine imprisoned in Russia who reached out to you that's right and it happened because we had passed along our our contact information to a relative of Paul wheen a couple of years ago uh so when I was in Moscow he had my Moscow number and we gave it to uh his brother because if wheel ever had a chance to call us uh we wanted him to be able to get in touch and after I relocated to London we passed along uh the new cont
information but we really never had any indication that he would call until he did suddenly Thursday hi Paul thanks for calling back we got the chance to speak to Paul wheelen from the remote Russian penal colony where he serving a 16-year sentence for Espionage it's quite obvious now that Russia took me hostage we were preparing for another interview when wheen suddenly called from prison he was arrested during a visit to Moscow in 2018 and convicted during a secretive trial the US government c
onsiders him wrongfully detained do you feel more concerned for your safety now than before I do oh yeah definitely yeah I I think it's it's high time uh my government's got me home he's worried because of what happened to opposition leader Alexa naoni who died in a Russian prison last month the Kremlin denies claims from Russian officials that it was responsible but President Vladimir Putin did reveal this week that he had agreed to release navoni in a prisoner swap a deal which could have repo
rtedly also freed wheen along with us journalist Evan grovich in an exchange for Vadim kov a Russian national who's serving a life sentence for murder in Germany how do you think naval's death affects the prospect of you being released in a prisoner swap it's a road bump um I think that the Russians didn't want to let navali go they've been changing the goal post since day one this news report that aired on Russian State media shows wheelen at the penal colony where he works six days a week maki
ng clothing for state workers earlier this week Canada's ambassador to Russia visited him at the penal colony and officials say they're watching the case closely anything that the Putin regime does uh that threatens a Canadian citizen is something of concern to us it's unfortunate what happened with Nali but it also shows that this is what Russia does and after five years whe fears he could be running out of time now wean said at the end of last year he was very depressed and feared he might nev
er be released after us basketball player Britney Griner had been exchanged in a prisoner swap and he hadn't been he says even with none's death he does feel more optimistic about a potential release now all right thanks for this Brier Stewart in London the violence in Moscow comes after a massive wave of Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine killing at least five people the prime target Ukraine's electrical grid that missile was one of eight that hit Ukraine's largest hydroelectric Dam o
ther attacks hit electrical substation taking out power across a large part of the country including Ukraine's second largest city of harke back in Canada the province of Alberta says it's stepping in after dozens of people some newly discharged from hospital were put in hotels with inadequate care Julia Wong broke this story and shows us how the government says it's taking action for days this Edmonton area hotel has been home for 39 people many vulnerable all under the care of an agency called

ng a care home and was taken to a Travel Lodge instead his story has dogged the government ever since is it acceptable for a patient who has high care needs to be taken to a motel well I was very concerned when I heard about this and have reached out to HS to have a serious conversation with them about their discharge policies how many other victims of UCP Motel medicine are there canif was readmitted to hospital he and his wife are relieved something is being done I hope the government will com
e up with the better situation for everybody especially the vulnerable disabled and elderly J Le Green's father Glenn is in the Park Inn now waiting to be moved it'll mean that he gets to be in a place where he's happy and actually taken care of and his needs are met but experts say there are still many unanswered questions something of this should never have been attempted uh without clear and and uh adequate oversight for this researcher the issue has exposed gaps it pointed out just how short
we are in terms of nursing home beds Assisted Living beds Home Care The Province says if you're facing a similar situation call them so it can investigate CBC News reached out to contentment social services but did not hear back they've been removed from the list of housing agencies given to patients Julia Wong CBC News Edmonton the federal and Manitoba governments are committing $20 million each to search a landfill near a peg for the remains of two indigenous women today is a very Bittersweet
day it's a sense of relief but yet work needs to be done the search for the remains of Morgan Harris and Mercedes myin won't start until after the trial of the man accused of killing them and two other women it begins next month it was an historic first at the world figure skating championships last night the golden performance proving age may be just a number next plus ahead of this weekend's Juno Awards some are asking what the future holds for music videos I'm just glad that the junos care t
hey believe that music videos still matter and later Princess Kate's shocking cancer diagnosis this of course came as a huge shock a royal Watcher and an oncologist on what it could mean for her and her family we're back in tune I'm more of a summer guy and uh I was looking forward to wearing shorts and and a t-shirt Southern Ontario is seeing a blast of wintry weather tonight parts of the greater Toronto area could get up to 19 cm of snow some flights have been cancelled and dozens of bus route
s suspended snow is expected to taper off by morning Canada made history on ice this week with a victory in pears figure skating at 40 Dian stellato dudak is now the oldest woman to win a world title in the sport as Paula Deek shows us she hopes it inspires others to live without regret a gold medal moment many years in the making I didn't want to be you know 80 years old wondering if I could have made it a former teen skating star Chicago native Dian stellato Dudek retired before her 18th birth
day she got back in the rank at 33 I knew I was older than everybody else trying to come back and do this but I felt like I could and that I had the desire and the passion to do it and so I just decided to go for it um and here I am at 40 and a world champion and she she did so skating alongside Pear's partner 32-year-old Maxim Desa a decade of searching for the right partner and he finally found his match unusual given most skaters retire in their 20s but with proper training this physiotherapi
st says skating can be a lot like riding a bike so your body holds on to that memory and that muscle um motor pattern too so your body just remembers how to train and it can handle those demands a little bit easier than say somebody who's just going to start that sport from scratch like stellato dck Liz koska spent her teen years in the ice rink but then life happened University um career getting married having kids so then your time just gets filled now at 58 she's back you're never too old I m
ean we look at the skaters here with us it's really incredible that you can keep going there's no limits it's a message Stato DC hopes will make its way beyond the world of skating I hope that it transcends the sport and people if they have other passions in life other than their day job that they um have the courage to go after them when they see me making this leap leap in my life to go after this she's drawing on her own courage and hopes to get her Canadian citizenship to compete for Canada

now it's time to break down the news shaping our world a deadly attack kills dozens in Moscow leaving Russians shaken who's behind it but first princess Katherine's stunning announcement my medical team therefore advised that I should undergo course of preventative chemotherapy we talked to one of the world's top royal Watchers about that message and how the family is holding up with two senior members now fighting cancer Vanity Fair Royal editor Katie niichel is with us now from London Katie I
know you have your sources in the palace can you walk me through the Princess of Wales very candid announcement what do you know about how this all transpired and the reaction well we understand that this timing was quite deliberate not as you might expect to CR those many conspiracy theories that were you know circulating on the internet and social media platforms and have been for some weeks now but more because she had had the chance to tell her young children and she's needed this space and
time together with William to obviously get their heads around this devastating diagnosis and because this really comes as the children have broken up from school they're about to enjoy three weeks of the Easter holidays and and therefore there can be a rest fight from the media spotlight family can really get away Katie as we saw there is a lot of interest surrounding the condition of the Princess of Wales in many ways Katherine has revealed a lot in this forthright video but there are still so
me questions lingering like her condition and what form of cancer what's your view on the openness of her announcement and still the very real curiosity most people will have surrounding it well I think that curiosity is just going to have to take a backseat for the time being I think we've seen the princess be as authentic transparent and vulnerable as anyone might expect her to be yes she is a public person the most photographed famous woman in the world but she has every right to a private li
fe when it comes to her medical health and she's made it very clear that for the time being we're not going to hear anymore about what type of cancer what stage she's been very open that she's going through therapy we know that this is preventative therapy and I think we can read all sorts of positive connotations in that she also says in that video video that it was successful surgery so I think lots of positives to be taken from this but as you say unanswered questions but I think you know the
recent speculation on the internet hasn't really taken into account that she's just a human being in all of this she's a young woman a young mother um and and wanting and expecting a right to privacy dealing with her diagnosis and the speculation it was expected she would return from public duties after Easter do you now have a sense what's in store for The Prince and Princess of Wales in the coming days my sources at Kensington Palace say that she's actually been well enough during these early
weeks of chemotherapy to be picking up emails and getting involved with work um but I think possibly any sort of public outward facing duties might have to be put on put on the back burner for a while I think it's a case of wait and see because you don't know how we don't know how she's going to respond to this chemotherapy some people go through chemotherapy and actually don't suffer from terrible side effects some people suffer very badly so I think it's a case of wait and see but she's made
it clear that her Focus whilst her Joy is on her work her focus is on her recovery and as we know there are now two very prominent members of the royal family fighting cancer the king of course is continuing treatment and now Katherine who do you think will be doing the work for the family well we find ourselves in the most extraordinary of circumstances a new monar 18 months into his Reign diagnosed with cancer and the Princess of Wales two of the most high-profile members of the royal family a
nd I think it's fair to say the most popular members of the royal family um at a time when the mon is looking increasingly slim down almost skeletal we know it's part of Charles's Vision to have a slim down monarchy but it's looking very vulnerable at the moment indeed so who does the pressure fall to well I think certainly Queen Camila who we've seen pick up the mantle and stand in for the King on numerous occasions including most recently the Commonwealth day service and to the Prince of Wales
but you know Williams in a very difficult position he's got to carry on with his duty and I think he absolutely will do that we've seen him back at work already but you know all whilst having to worry about Kate and making sure the mother of his children is okay you know family has always come first for the Wales is and this will be no exception but of course there is work to be done the late Queen said she has to be seen to be believed we need to see our monar we need to see these members of t
he royal family out and about otherwise they they can become irrelevant they lose that connection with the public and at this time they really can't afford to do that Katie nickel always appreciate your Insight thank you for joining us thank you and today's video statement from Princess Katherine is certainly connecting with people in Britain and around the world with many commending her for being so direct about such a personal issue here's another look I want to take this opportunity to say th
ank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and for your standing whilst I've been recovering from surgery it has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family but I've had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me for which I'm so grateful in January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous the surgery was successful however test after the operation found cancer had been pre
sent my medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I'm now in the early stages of that treatment this of course came as a huge shock and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family as you can imagine this has taken time it has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment but most importantly it is has taken us time to explain everything to Ge
orge Charlotte and Louie in a way that's appropriate for them and to reassure them that I'm going to be okay as I've said to them I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind body and Spirits having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance to you as is the love support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you it means so much to us both we hope that you'll understand that as a family we now need some time sp
ace and privacy while I complete my treatment my work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I'm able but for now I must focus on making a full recovery at this time I'm also thinking of all those whose lives have being affected by cancer for everyone facing this dis pleas in whatever form please do not lose Faith or hope you are not alone Dr Gil thanks for joining us what does preventative chemotherapy look like preventative chemotherapy typically refers
to chemotherapy which is anti-cancer medicine given after definitive reection or definitive surgery of a cancer in medical terms we often refer to it as agant chemotherapy and the intent is to try to reduce the risk of a cancer that has been removed from coming back uh with the intent of trying to eradicate any microscopic residual cancer that may be present okay so the princess is 42 years old a relatively young member of the royal family and her cancer is unspecified what types of cancer are
common in this age range so I think the first thing I I will say and I'm sure many Canadians are feeling this is that you know we wish Princess Kate you know a full recovery uh cancer is hard at any age but particularly uh at a younger age uh and for someone who also has a young family I think it it really uh hits her home for many people what she may be going through um abdominal surgery uh is a very sort of obviously General uh term and we don't have any specifics of the type of cancer that uh
Princess Kate has been diagnosed with when we think about common things being common within the abdominal C uh the most common cancers uh one thinks of is coloral cancer which is the third leading cause of cancer in men and women but other possibilities may include things like a gynecological cancer potentially a uterine cancer uh or things like gallbladder cancer now I know you're not a royal commentator but many people were speculating where the Princess of Wales has been for those who are un
dergoing early cancer treatment what difficulties might have caused Kate to stay away from the public eye well you know a diagnosis of cancer is a life-altering diagnosis and I think we can imagine the time it takes uh to process that and the personal time that's needed to accept that diagnosis uh let alone the time that's needed to be able to share that with your family and with your children so I think it's entirely understandable that she would have retracted from the public eye to take that
time uh to absorb the diagnosis so that combined with with the uh the the time that's typically required for recovery from any surgery uh would also have uh you know required her to take more personal time now Katherine had an abdominal surgery in January but was told at the time that her condition was non-cancerous what are some challenges of detecting cancer so I think this is a circumstance where it sounds like she went in for a plann surgery for something that was not expected to be cancerou
s or in medical terms we would say benign uh but following resection and uh likely on further examination a cancer was incidentally found uh that is not uncommon that can happen um and so you know in that circumstance I think once a cancer has been diagnosed uh and in this case has been surgically removed the next question becomes well what else what additional treatment is required and in this case uh Princess Kate has commented that she's commenced on preventative or agant chemotherapy Dr Gil
when there is a public case like this a lot of people start to look at their own health what should people be aware of so you know cancer affects uh I think everyone either we know someone who's been diagnosed with cancer or we've been personally affected by cancer uh in Canada Our Lifetime risk of developing coloral cancer uh is one in 15 for example our lifetime risk of developing any cancer is almost one in two so I think when we hear of someone in the public eye sharing their personal story
I think the first thing I would say is I I applaud Princess Kate for sharing that uh it allows for the conversation to happen it allows for people to become more aware of the reality that cancer can affect us all um and the other thing is that we need to be introspective about our own uh you know Health assessment uh understanding our risk of cancer understanding our family risk having conversations with our primary care providers about what needs to be done in terms of screening and also uh ena
bling preventative and protective lifestyle factors like exercise uh a healthy diet uh and again you know really being vigilant about symptoms all right well thank you so much for your time thank you so much coming up Isis has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in Moscow the Russians are Enemy Number One for Isis the warnings the attack was coming and why Russia was the target we break that down next chaos and Terror in Moscow as armed militants killed dozens at a concert hall later cons
umed in a massive Fireball Isis has claimed responsibility Russian authorities vow to punish those responsible Ben maku is a national security reporter who has covered Isis for more than a decade and he joins me from Ottawa Ben you've been watching this unfold throughout the day you immediately started hearing from sources that this looked like the work of Isis why like you said this is an Isis claim so there's nothing definitive yet but this was a mass shooting on civilians not usually the work
of a nation state that kind of attack you do to scare civilians in their way of life and this was an attack on a concert hall this is something to typical of terrorist organizations consider the Paris baton attack and not to mention this is March 22nd this is the anniversary of the 2016 Brussels attack that killed 32 people and that was claimed by ISIS okay so some might wonder why is Isis targeting Russia for a few reasons for one Russia was one of the Assad regime's greatest allies during the
Syrian Civil War and bombed Isis regularly so they've not been good terms since but more importantly Russian authorities by their own admission thwarted an attack by ISIS K in Moscow only weeks ago this isn't something new in fact the US warned the Kremlin that Isis was plotting attacks in Russia okay so we all know about Isis you just mentioned Isis K tell me more about that well Isis K stands for Islamic State Corson Province it's the Afghan offshoot of Isis centered in eastern Afghanistan th
ey've been trying to carve out a place in the country since the pull out in 2021 it's currently at war with the Taliban and Russia is warming to the Taliban just last week it was reported that the Taliban installed a military attache in Moscow so this very much is an attack of an ally of your enemy okay now initially there was talk that this could be Ukraine behind the attack what do you make of that let's take a look at Ukraine's suspected operations in Russia they've supported a Russian Battal
ion in its incursions into Russian Borderlands they've sent drone swarms to bomb refineries inside of the inside of Russia they've undertaken special operations inside of occupied territories none of this is the want and killing of civilians uh nor would it benefit them okay so what's next how do you think Moscow is going to react to this so far people like the former president meddev are blaming Ukraine but Russia has in the past shown no hesitation in dealing with Isis militarily okay thanks f
or this Ben National Security reporter Ben MCU in Ottawa and coming soon our look at a one onetime Hollywood vacation hotspot turned desolate landscape now drawing in corporations hoping to strike it rich we'll produce about 20,000 tons of lithium hydroxide product that's enough lithium um to manufacture about half a million electric vehicles per year as it stands is a community set to win no we're not so we have to come to the table the race to mine lithium in California's salt and sea the jobs
it could bring and the push back from locals look for that in the days ahead here on the national coming up the unlikely friendship between a boy and a crow named Russell they had this innocence that make them Bond and yeah became friends the unbreakable Bond Next In Our Moment nope that's not a pesky bird trying to steal some food that's Russell the crow he's paying one of his regular visits to his 2-year-old friend Otto after being rescued by Otto's parents the bird and the boy became Insepar
