Global National: Jan. 30, 2024 | 5 pro-hockey players charged in 2018 World Juniors sex assault case

Five professional hockey players — Alex Formenton, Michael McLeod, Dillon Dubé, Carter Hart, Cal Foote — have now been charged in connection with an alleged group sexual assault in London, Ont. from June 2018. At the time of the alleged crime, the five men were members of Canada's World Junior hockey team. Mackenzie Gray reports on how some of them are responding to the accusations. Jenin is one of the most volatile cities in the occupied West Bank, where fighters from Islamic Jihad are holding some Israeli hostages kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023. Daniele Hamamdjian was granted rare access to a refugee camp in Jenin and finds out what drives the anger towards Israel. The federal government is being urged to put an indefinite pause on plans to expand eligibility for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), which would have allowed it for people whose sole medical condition is mental illness. Eric Sorensen explains why a parliamentary committee doesn't believe Canada should expand the process and why mental health advocates are frustrated with the decision. Dozens of Alberta daycares have protested Ottawa's and the province's $10-a-day child care program by closing for the day, leaving parents in the lurch. Every province and territory has agreed to the federal government's plan. Heather Yourex-West explains what the daycare operators are asking for. Thousands of people in Canada's long-term care homes have died of COVID-19, and the system's failures have been well documented. And as Mike Drolet explains, a new report from the Royal Society of Canada says long-term care homes are not prepared to deal with another crisis. Plus, you could call it 'Extreme Makeover: Egyptian Pyramid Edition.' The Menkaure pyramid is undergoing renovations, much to the dismay of critics, who believe the project is just a misguided pyramid scheme. Redmond Shannon explains the criticism and what kind of work is being done.
