tonight protests across Canada as the federal carbon tax goes up people can't afford to eat they can't pay it ain't just on tax on gas it's on everything from prices to rebates what's changed why and a new call now for an emergency meeting gaza's largest hospital now in Ruins after a weeks long Israeli raid and what do years in the ring do to a brain I'm scared they're going to find a brain tumor or they're going to find a bleed inside the groundbreaking study as a Canadian boxer tries to figure
out if it's time to quit before it's too late from CBC News this is the national with Chief correspondent Adrien Areno thanks for joining us there is no denying the anger of some Canadians to the latest hike in the federal carbon tax still in much of the country that hike is now in effect along with a bigger rebate meant to offset the costs the change sparked protest right across the country frustration on full display after weeks of calls for the Liberals to cancel the increase New Finland and
labrador's premere is now calling for an emergency meeting among leaders Nicholas again with the prime minister's response and the worries pushing many to the protest lines the price of everything is going up everything on a truck everything is going up for some Canadians struggling with the High Cost of Living the federal carbon tax feels like another hit people can't afford to eat they can't pay it ain't just on tax on gas it's on everything more than a dozen protests against the tax took pla
ce all across the country including on busy highways on the day the carbon tax and the carbon rebates increased in most provinces come on ta the taxes the Northwest Territories BC and Quebec are all exempt but everywhere else it means the average household could spend an extra $65 a year on natural gas and an extra 3.3 cents per liter on gasoline we're not seeing any increase in our salaries or our pay so when this happens it it really does affect a lot of us but the federal government is also i
ncreasing the carbon rebate rather residents will receive to offset the tax depending on where they live families of four will get between $200 and $400 four times a year about 80% of Canadians are going to get back more than they pay but the premier of seven provinces without their own carbon reduction plans are pushing back New Finland and labrador's Andrew Fury is now asking the Prime Minister for an emergency meeting of leaders to discuss alternatives to the tax we're not seeing detailed pla
ns from the premier on this they'd much rather try to complain about it and make political hay out of this also leading the charge against the carbon pricing policy the leader of the opposition this is not just a tax at the pump it's a tax on your heat a tax on your food it is a tax that will cost the majority of families in every single Province more than they get back the message for many protesters is clear they're worried about the future Andrew Fury is calling for a collaborative approach t
o find Solutions the Prime Minister has not said whether he'll answer his call for an emergency meeting Nicholas San CBC News Halifax now the carbon tax isn't the only thing going up the salaries of parliamentarians are to by just over 4% so that means the Prime Minister will now make over $46,000 a year opposition leader Pierre PV and cabinet ministers will take home just under 300,000 and backbench MPS will now earn $23,000 the prime minister is promising there will be $1 billion doll in the u
pcoming federal budget to create a national school food program to feed kids money that could go to provinces and territories in time for the next school year but as Olivia stanovich shows us that Target might be hard to meet Lea what happened to your glasses they're upside down even at the playground the cost of groceries is on celest lck's mind I do have anxieties over it because some days I wonder how am I putting food on our table already right now a question many parents are asking and one
the Prime Minister says his government will address when kids eat better they do better in school Justin Trudeau is promising a national school food program to help the nearly one in four Canadian children who don't have enough to eat we're putting a billion dollars forward to be sent out to provinces and territories to add 400,000 more kids across the country who will have Fuller bellies in class our Focus now is making sure the federal government steps up the school food program isn't part of
the ndp's agreement to support the Liberals but it is something new Democrats advocated for we are the only G7 nation in the world that doesn't have an food program in schools the conservatives meanwhile recently voted against a private members Bill to create such a program Mr Cooper Mr Cooper and when asked if he supports this plan opposition leader Pier POV did insane I find it ironic that he's promising a federal food bureaucracy in Ottawa the same day as he raises taxes on food his carbon ta
x on the truck the farmer who grows the food and the trucker who ships the food is a tax on the single mom who can't afford to buy the food put your arms out good cat but some families say the program could make a difference this is a great hopefully nudge in the right direction of helping families it seems like a pretty sensible response to the trouble that a lot of families are having making ends meet Olivia what more can you tell us about exactly how this program is going to work well this pr
ogram will be part of the federal budget later this month the commitment includes $1 billion over five years and the federal government is hoping to get this money flowing to the provinces and territories for the start of the next school year but they'll need to negotiate and coordinate all of this with those governments so this could take more time than the federal government would like I bet all right Olivia stefanovich in Ottawa now to some breaking news from Gaza tonight where Hamas official
s say an Israeli air strike killed four International Aid workers and a Palestinian driver the bodies were taken to a hospital in central Gaza where staff showed the British Australian and polish passports of three of the Dead they were with the world Central Kitchen the charity had arrived with a shipment of Aid by sea earlier today that sea Corridor approved and monitored by Israeli authorities Israel's military says it is investigating the incident and that incident comes just hours after the
world's first full glimpse of gaza's largest hospital now in Ruins Israeli troops have withdrawn claiming a big victory against Hamas after a two- week battle but as Katie Simpson shows us little remains tonight of the critical Medical Facility by most accounts when you walk around what's left of the AL shifa Hospital complex there is an overwhelming stench of bodies and death Al shifo was the largest medical facility in Gaza most of it now rendered unusable satellite images show what the area
looked like before and this is what it looks like now after Israeli forces raided the complex for 2 weeks in search of Hamas militants Witnesses say they saw patients die from a lack of medical care every day was miserable said this man who says he was a patient at the hospital there was no food and there was no treatment he says the lack of medicine made his pain seem a million times worse while this man who also says he's a patient says he was dragged by Israeli forces and kicked as he was que
stioned about what he did for work Israeli officials say hundreds of militants were either detained or killed in the operation that is being described as a major success and the sub quent Special Forces operation to clear the hospital of terrorists will be studied as the gold standard for urban Warfare Israel is pushing ahead with its military operations in Gaza and is now being accused of escalating tensions with Iran an air strike on an Iranian government building in Syria killed several high-
ranking Iranian military leaders including multiple generals Iran blames israelim such crimes will not remain without a response said Iran's ambassador to Syria through a translator growing tensions abroad come as Israeli leaders face intensifying pressure at home tens of thousands of anti-government protesters gathered in Jerusalem for a second night this government is doing horrendous things in Gaza not in our name and we want the government to take responsibility and resign Israel's prime min
ister has largely dismissed these calls and is backing a plan that will silence descent lawmakers passed a bill to temporarily shut down alzer's TV broadcasts in Israel which have been critical of the war though they say it's a Hamas supporting security threat Washington is waiting for confirmation but is alarmed a move like this is concerning we believe in the freedom of the press it is critical and Katie I gather senior officials in Washington met virtually with their Israeli counterparts toda
y yeah yeah we understand the US expressed concern about Israel's plan to Target Hamas militants in Rafa where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have been seeking shelter Israel says it will take American concerns into account as it develops its plan the US sends billions of dollars worth of military aid to Israel and despite its specific concerns about its military operations does not appear that any of that us support is in question at this time Adrian all right Katie Simpson rep

Canadian officials as ilam Musa tells us that denial comes after a new international investigation into what's been called The Havana syndrome a new twist in a yearlong mystery believed to have started in Havana what is behind an unexplained illness affecting us diplomats it was like a dentist drilling on steroids that feeling uh when it that it gets too close to your eardrum it's like that you know times 10 now an international joint investigation that aired on 60 Minutes alleges they may have
been targeted by a secretive Russian intelligence unit it's next generational weaponry and unfortunately it's been refined on some of us and where the test subjects the first case of so-called Havana syndrome was believed to have happened in that City in 2016 although this new report suggests there were instances in Germany 2 years earlier the injured describe experiencing dizziness headaches and vision problems and they include White House staff CIA officers FBI agents Military Officers and the

chefs are trying trying out something a little different everything that ends up on the A&W menu starts right here The Toasted Bun we have our Peri ioli this kitchen a battlefield in the fast food Wars companies duking it out to come up with the next viral sensation the next Crunch Wrap Supreme Grimace milkshake or pumpkin spice latte how important is it to have these new menu items to hang on to your existing customers and to find new ones um I would say extremely important if you look at our j
ourney between 1956 and Winnipeg to today the menu doesn't look the same we are all fighting for that same guest and the new exciting menu items help them to come to the top top of mind for you know what like A&W is doing that new burger I want to go and try it at A&W the latest creation is a pury pury burger it starts with a bun a new spicy sauce instead of a beef patty adds a hash brown it's based on a menu hack cooked up by South Asian Canadians I'm from India and there's a big big population
of vegetarian folks there shifting demographics are a key part of why restaurants mix up their menus in the first place customers are changing so are their pallets in these days Burger chains aren't just competing with other Burger Chains It's the smaller operators and even some of the Independents who are growing and they tend to serve more globally inspired Cuisine now with the economic situation so if the brands want to grow they're going to have to steal customers next up from a very differ
ent part of the world this is a Moroccan hot pepper Al it takes anywhere from a few weeks to several years to come up with a new menu item the final product has to taste good and come out the same way every time there's just a difference between the way I can whisk up a sauce and a a gigantic machine that's making literally hundreds and hundreds and thousands of liters of this needs to work in those very very tough kitchen environments time consuming work but experts say there's more of it happe
ning many test kitchens closed during the pandemic and restaurants trim their menus to save money but these days that wave of innovation is flooding back into the market right now so it's certainly busier now than it has been in 5 years for its part A&W has more than 70 new products in the works though only a few will make their way to an actual menu Paula duotek CBC News Vancouver scientists are using new techniques to get Vital Information about whales and other marine life off the coast of BC
essentially it's like CSI CSI in the ocean how it promises to track creatures without harming them plus we'll take you from The Ring to the clinic and a study looking for early signs of devastating head trauma when people are actively exposed to head impacts it is it is changing the brain how a Canadian boxer's brain is holding up and how the research could help others and viewing the upcoming solar eclipse without damaging your eyes it can tend to override People's Natural uh safety inclinatio
n what you need to know to stay safe the national breaks down the stories shaping our world next the race to save an orphaned Orca off of Vancouver Island is becoming more and more urgent it's not clear whether the calf has eaten anything since the death of its mother 9 days ago as Bel pury shows us some Rescuers are turning to Tech to try to help the young whale circles and circles again it's been more than a week since its mother died in this Lagoon and the calf can't seem to escape well it is
nature but the community is really affected by it uh spiritually I think the aasd First Nation has named the Orca quisas or Brave Little Hunter despite the name and seals in the area the calf hasn't been seen hunting it's not clear if it's eating at all Rescuers have tried everything from indigenous drum beats to recorded whale calls to lure the Orca to open water and to its pod mates that's really important that we're monitoring not only the calf but also it's it's the calf's Pod and the subpo
ds that are f family relation a BC based whale research group says its artificial intelligence technology is already helping to find those relatives it's been asking people to submit photos of orcas they see in the area and using AI to match those photos to an existing database of orcas after we made this technology available to operators working off the west coast of Vancouver Island yesterday we immediately received a data submission from a new user of Kisa H's extended family including her gr
andmother her aunts and uncles a whale watching tour operator took these pictures and put them into the system and flagged to Rescuers the direction the whales were traveling I was able to pass on my information to Wheel Watchers in Tofino today as they were kind of headed that direction hopefully they were going to try and get some Acoustics or some of the noises that the Pod is making that could possibly assist with getting the calf out of the Lagoon to do that to get out of the Lagoon the cal
f will have to swim over a sandbar and under a Causeway the tides are expected to be more favorable this week B pury CBC News Vancouver now on the other side of Vancouver Island scientists are using emerging research to learn more about killer whales it's less invasive and it relies on DNA collected through seawater Georgie SMI shows us how it works there's so much life passing through these Waters and a scientists are finding out even more to learn from what is Left Behind got it okay that jug
of sea water contains environmental DNA or E DNA scooped up behind a diving whale and essentially it's like CSI um pardon the pun uh but CSI in the ocean through that collection of water we can extract skin cells feal matter and extract the DNA from that never actually touching the animal which is uh which we're really excited about the sample is filtered on the boat and later sent for genetic testing it's the first time Edna has been used to study whales here we know that we can sex individual
whales we can look at things like uh the amount of genetic diversity how populations of whales are related uh we can also potentially look at paternity scientists know some of BC's killer whales are already under stress from lack of food ship traffic and climate change traditional research would also call for a sample of tissue from the whale this approach avoids that my greatest hope is that we cease or need to do biopsy work I would love to see that we totally switch all of our methods of coll
ecting DNA to be in these non-invasive Edna samples uh which will help the populations reduce disturbance this kind of whale research is still new and part of the work is figuring out how to improve the science standard izing how much sea water to scoop and when to make it more precise knowing that what we're doing can eventually lead to better conservation efforts for the species and uh whatever we can do to give back to them brings myself a lot of U gratification and uh really makes me love th
e work that we're doing um knowing that it can be used to make positive impact for these animals work that is Bridging the knowledge Gap without getting too close Georgie SMI CBC News news horon island now it's time to go deeper into the story shaping our world this is the breakdown how to catch that epic eclipse without risking your eyesight so do not use regular sunglasses but first a boxer's fearful dilemma Clare hner takes part in groundbreaking research to detect when her brain might be on
the brink of serious damage these tests could knock her out as a top contender in part this story breaks down how the brains of female athletes haven't been studied that much Katie Nicholson got extraordinary access as Hafner went for her annual medical check-in then anxiously awaited the verdict boxing is a sport where you volunteer to be punched in the head so I think there's less sympathy around head trauma after years of training sparring and fights Canadian boxer Clare Hafner is about to fi
nd out what kind of a toll being in the ring has taken on her brain health she's part of a groundbreaking study of 900 living athletes looking at the long-term effects of head trauma when you get those results what is that like for you every time terrifying those tests make me more nervous than getting in the ring for fight why I'm scared they're going to find a brain tumor or they're going to find a bleed or something wrong with the actual physical brain at 46 Claire is one of the top ranked bo
xers in the world when you step into the ring what's it like for you like how does the world change hyperfocused yeah a sense of gratitude for having that opportunity before she retires she's hoping for a shot at a Canadian title it'll be hard to hang up the gloves without checking that box I have to confess that but like I said if if it's not in the Stars it's not in the Stars she knows every time she meets up with researchers it could change everything is there a little bit of fear too though
that this could be the end be the end yeah yeah I think there's always that fear and then trying to figure out what the next step is Las Vegas the fight capital of the world it's also home to the Cleveland Clinic Center for brain health Claire has just arrived for her annual day of testing and we're going with how are you feeling right now oh I'm properly nervous yeah what are you hoping for today I'm hoping that there hasn't been a decline in anything I'm hoping for a really good clean brain sc
an today we're doing the verbal memory test we're doing the finger tapping test Syle digigit coding test we'll be doing a STP test remind me of the stoop test it's the one with all the colors yes these are hard just so you know yes they are these tests measure for changes in Claire's memory and her reaction times two minutes we're looking for accuracy first and then speed okay yeah okay accuracy okay another key indicator they're testing her balance one why is it harder with the eyes closed I ta
ke away my Anchor Point so what it is is it's your brain telling you that it doesn't trust the situation that it's in this is what people who have like brain trauma actually feel like sometimes not just regularly they can't that's why they have to walk with like a walker Claire's blood is sent to the lab to be analyzed for proteins which could indicate head trauma and we're only taking the serum they're many of the same proteins associated with Alzheimer's and Par okay we're ready we'll head on
in okay Claire settles in for a long MRI session to capture her brain from every angle looking for any sign of possible damage or changes where specifically would the area be that you would look for trle yeah so this kind of area here and that is for shortterm memory and stuff the temporal lobe gets rattled around a lot because it sits in a kind of a a bony Cubby Hole uh at the bottom so as you're you know as you get hit it kind of rattles around there only about a hundred of the study's partici
pants are women the bulk of what's known about head injuries is based on men's Brains and as Dr Charles bernick and his team review more than a decade of data they're finding differences between the Sexes if we have two groups that are getting hit uh and the women are doing better is there something biological that that is uh protecting them so one of the paradoxes is that it's been said that women are more vulnerable for example to concussion and and take longer to recover yet again in our eval
uation of long-term effects um it doesn't seem that they're at a higher risk and as they follow athletes through their retirement they're making another remarkable Discovery and what we found as a group uh people get better so I think it just represents that when people are actively exposed to head impacts it is it is changing the and once you stop uh there is this opportunity for repairin Big Shots there's the uppercut power on the inside and down goes Taylor staring that is the win for Christi
ne fia the dominance continues Christine FIA is the women's bare knuckle boxing world champion she says Combat Sports changed her life I took the the rough road and you know partying and and doing crazy things so so um fighting taught me discipline taught me um composure um to how to deal with my emotions right eyes at disaster the risks of bare knuckle boxing are high wow I mean what a tough fight right but participating in the study has given her some comfort you know when you're young and you
're doing this sport you're not really thinking about the damage inside your brain so when I started doing this um it made me feel a little bit safer so each year that I'm going I'm not if I'm not declining I'm not going to retire what scares you the most CTE I I just I've heard so many horror stories about CTE if he's like hey this these are what's happening to your brain this are going to be the consequences I can make that decision to you know quit before that happens Last Summer the first ca
se of CTE in a female athlete was confirmed in an Aussie rules footballer chronic traumatic in cyop or CTE is a degenerative neurological condition linked to repetitive head trauma it can only be diagnosed after death but bernick's team can look for telltale signs of risk in living athletes with hopes of one day being able to identify people who are developing patterns of CTE before it progresses too far MRI scans like this are part of the puzzle this is the brain of a male fighter normally ther
e's one um membrane that separates the two side but with a lot of impacts to the head that will split okay so you can see he has it's just split apart so there's there's two and that's a it's just a marker of exposure to a lot of head impacts um it it we find it about 50% of males that that fight in a clinic room Claire anxiously waits for her results hello hello hey good to see you again yeah what's the update how are you doing I struggle to sleep after a heavy sparring session even though I'm
absolutely exhausted exhausted I I just and that's to me is like the little red flag that maybe I got my bell rung yeah I do want to check you out but I will share with you kind of how you did um this is the stressful this no no no no no this is no this is good first her scores in all those memory balance and reaction tests so we look for two things um one is just the trajectory of things over time because this is what five years now um and you could see I mean just in general it's a straight li
ne um a straight line and and you are superior to most people your age then Dr bernick pulls up Claire's MRI scans it's pretty close I mean you see a little slit here you see this but they're not changed this is you know five years 2020 no four years um and if we go higher just in the substance of the brain um the brain should have this consistency which yours does in other words it doesn't show any scarring now we'll do more precise measurements but um but just looking at it it doesn't look lik
e there's any any concerning change or anything no changes but is it time for CLA to call it quits I guess just of age and like trying to get out before there's a lot of damage but feeling like I've put so much into it I still have the brain that's good enough to maybe go one more one more lap yeah sure or do you throw in the towel when like I I'm just teetering on that decision and it's really hard look if you're asking are you going to do irreparable harm to do one more fight of course not I y
ou know because all this stuff is just cumulative I just think you know if you've achieved what you've wanted to achieve yeah it's probably it's better for your brain not to get hit you know you want to do this this one more fight be careful about it and and then and then you know maybe shut it off Claire's had a few hours to think about her results and her future so we're in this town where everybody's always rolling the dice so oh after your results today are you thinking like are you going to
roll the dice like I got to take that chance like that risk yeah I have to say after today it's a 100 times more tempting than how I thought before coming yeah because you get good news and it kind of like momentarily blots out the risks CU you're like oh I've been risking it all for these years and and hey it's been good like there's nothing nothing awful yet so what's one more what's one more time also the Trap so you're going to stay in the ring I want to stay in the ring did I just say that
who said that I think you said that I did say that so you're rolling a dice yeah I think I'm going to roll the dice what is it Lucky Sevens yeah so Katie there's no doubt that next fight seems really important to Claire but but is she going to get to do it well the short answer is she hasn't signed the fight papers yet but she's still in training and it could be in the cards this year so I I know it's I know it's early days yet in terms of the study but it's interesting when you hear a discussi
on about potentially a difference between men and women brains here what are you learning about that right so I mean it's clear there are still very big gaps in what we know when it comes to women and head trauma right but what the study is showing so far is that when it comes to the long-term effects the women Fighters are doing better and all the key indicators that they look for so what what's at the sort of root of this resiliency that is one of the things that the study is trying to figure
out Dr bernick has a theory that possibly uh it's connected to me maybe women uh get fewer hits over time the quantity of hits and there could be any number of reasons for that all right well thank you for staying on this Katie Nicholson appreciate it coming up Canadians are about to get a glimpse of what could be a once in a-lifetime Celestial event I can see the disc of the sun I can't see anything else they're almost like blackout glasses how to view next week's solar eclipse safely expert ad
vice next on the breakdown what you should learn before you look at that solar eclipse it can cause blameless we have expert tips for watching safely they're almost like blackout glasses a really easy one you can do is just by grabbing a shoe box so here's some advice for you from someone who watches the stars all the time please do not look directly at the Sun not even during a partial eclipse if it's uh you just a little bit of sunlight it can still really damage your eyes and you can even go
blind welcome to the alen Carwell Observatory I'm Dr Elena Hyde I'm the director of this wonderful place and right now we are standing inside the 60 cm telescope Dome a place where you will definitely not be able to view you the upcoming solar eclipse so up here in the domes today we have a few different ways that you could safely view the Sun so this is one of the most popular techniques these are not sunglasses so do not use regular sunlasses you need to use glasses with a very special safety
rated filter on them the first thing you want to do is just hold it up to the light and see there's no holes in these if the sun was say uh in front of me I would put the glasses on and only once the glasses were actually on my face um firmly and now I can't see anything at all but I could feel where the sun is so I'll look towards it and this way I can see the disc of the sun I can't see anything else they're almost like blackout glasses you might say what's an even easier way well we're going
to go from the most sort of high tech to lowest Tech all you need are two sheets and if they're not regular paper they can be a little sturdier this this will work what you do is you take a pin you just poke a single clean hole and all I have to do with it to make a projection of the sun is to use my top paper to project the sunlight down onto the bottom paper actually anything with a hole that casts a shadow will work now there's a little bit more fancy techniques that you can use I really easy
one you can do is just by grabbing a shoe box now this shoe box already had a a hole in it and this is the viewing hole this is where you look inside with your eyeball this is where the sunlight comes in so you stand till the sun's behind you the sunlight that's behind you comes and lands on the back of the shoe box and makes a little image of the sun when you have an event like a solar eclipse it can tend to override People's Natural uh safety inclination to not look directly at the sun can re
ally damage your eyes and it can cause blindness so we don't want people to be getting injured trying to enjoy this really cool event and on April the 8th CBC News will have a full day of special coverage of the total solar eclipse that starts bright and early Heather hiscox will be in Niagara Falls hosting morning live from 6:00 to 10: a.m. eastern on CBC News Network and we want to tell you about another story to watch for tomorrow on the breakdown norston shows us environmental destruction on
a devastating scale here's a preview in pockets of Northern Brazil fire is sucking the life out of the rainforest when Canada burned and everybody oh no I can't breathe what we face in the Amazon every year and is exactly or even more dolphins dying in abnormally warm water and that vital Waterway used by tens of thousands of people sunk too low low we had a massive death of Fisheries because how warm the water was something I never seen in my life a devastating combination elevated heat histor
ic drought and deforestation pushing parts of the Amazon towards a Tipping Point we are losing the Amazon rainforest we cannot wait you can watch for that Tuesday on the national coming up the cherry blossoms that lit up the night sky in Vancouver really feels like you're stepping into this completely different world this Wonderland the dreamlike display Next In Our Moment wow look how beautiful that is that is David Lamb Park in Vancouver and over the weekend it was transformed into a spellbind
ing Oasis blossoms after dark transported visitors into an enchanted garden a glow with beaming blossoms those who experienced it said it was like entering a different world the cherry blossoms that lit up the night sky make our moment it really feels like you're stepping into this completely different world this Wonderland cherry blossoms everywhere and all of them are illuminated with all these the crazy cool lights the light installations were so beautiful we always go to the parks and street
s to have a look at the cherry blossoms but this was a completely different experience it was after dark everything was illuminated there was the music in the background lights around the Cherry Blossom flowers and trees so many uh lanterns over there you're just walking through this between all of these cherry blossoms and in the background you hear a soundtrack it was truly magical I guess if it was during the daytime maybe it wouldn't been that amazing I feel like all of us were in that kind
of alien world experiencing the same thing and so Andrew who spoke with our producer Maria said that he he went for a walk there because he had a bit of writer block he's a songwriter and nothing was coming but after being there he said he just sort of felt all sorts of inspiration and the phrases are coming for all of us here at the national thank you for being with us you can watch anywhere anytime on the free CBC News app And subscribe to the National's YouTube channel I'm Adrien Arseno take
