00:00 The relationship between the Dragon Nation and Maple Leaf Country is frosty as it is.
00:05 Expect it not to thaw anytime soon, with Canada's latest move to prohibit the ever-popular Chinese
00:12 messaging app WeChat, as well as the Russia's cybersecurity and antivirus solutions Kapersky,
00:19 of all government smartphones and communication devices.
00:23 Treasury Board Chief Anita Anand said the nation's chief information officer has determined
00:29 the aforementioned apps present an unacceptably high risk to privacy and security.
00:36 While no data breaches have been discovered as of yet, the platform's data collection
00:41 method provides considerable access to a device's contents, Anand said.
00:46 China, for its part, pushed back on Canada's claim and said the move was arbitrary and
00:52 done without the benefit of actual evidence and scientific rationalization.
00:58 Meanwhile, Pakistan has been a refuge for neighboring Afghans since after 9/11, and
01:05 even more when the Taliban reclaimed Kabul in the summer of 2021 from the Americans.
01:11 Tuesday, however, tens of thousands of Afghans took all their belongings and headed for the
01:16 border to beat the deadline set by Pakistan to voluntarily leave, lest they be forcibly
01:23 deported after they are arrested beginning tomorrow, Wednesday.
01:27 More than 100,000 Afghans have fled Pakistan since the Pakistani government announced a
01:33 one-month deadline beginning October to flee Pakistan, as anti-Afghan refugee has grown
01:39 among native Pakistanis who presented their presence as illegal undocumented aliens, draining
01:46 the country's resources.
01:48 Lawyers and activists have pointed out the unprecedented scale of the crackdown, pleading
01:55 for more time, especially for undocumented Afghans who have lived in Pakistan for decades.
02:01 The Pakistani government insists this move to send back Afghans back to their home country
02:07 is intended to protect its own as economic hardship spreads and worsens and cross-border
02:13 militancy mounts.
02:17 Police surrounded a post office station in the city of Warabi on the outskirts of Tokyo,
02:23 where a suspected gunman in a hospital shooting earlier has taken refuge and a number of hostages
02:29 along with him.
02:31 This, as local media reported moments earlier of a potential shooting in a nearby hospital,
02:37 but made no mention whether the two incidents are linked and have the same suspect on separate
02:43 crimes.
02:44 Videos of the suspect, who wore a dark coat over a white shirt and toting a gun, flashed
02:49 across TV screens and is believed to be in his 80s.
02:53 Meanwhile, as night fell, several police squad cars gathered around the three-story building
02:59 with lights flashing as residents heeded calls to evacuate the immediate surrounding.
03:07 At this time, we turn to our colleague in Pine City to get us up to speed on what's
03:13 up now in the Cordilleras.
