Global National: Feb. 17, 2024 | Will Moscow hand over the body of Alexei Navalny?
Alexei Navalny’s team has confirmed what Russian officials reported just a day ago. The Kremlin’s opposition leader is dead and Navalny’s team, like many others, believe he was murdered by order of the Russian president. Navalny’s supporters and world leaders are demanding answers as Moscow does seemingly everything in its power to avoid handing over the body of the man hailed a hero by many in Russia. Mackenzie Gray has more. Ukraine was handed a blow on the battlefield Saturday, after months of combat in the eastern city of Avdiivka, Ukrainian troops withdrew after reportedly being at risk of being surrounded by Russian forces. As Reggie Cecchini reports, Ukraine’s wartime leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy is calling for the world to step up as the Kremlin pushes forward. We’ve all heard the warnings that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could interfere with democracy. Now, 20 tech start-ups and giants including Google, Meta, TikTok, and X have signed an accord promising to work together to stop their software from creating deep fakes depicting political candidates. The companies say they’ll try to detect bogus pictures and videos but won’t ban them. And it’s still not clear how this largely symbolic pact will be enforced. David Akin looks at what one Canadian firm is doing with the technology and where Ottawa is at with regulating it. Police in Russia arrested citizens on Saturday for attending more memorials honouring Alexei Navalny, who is now confirmed to have died in an Arctic prison. But beyond Russia, protests and tributes keep pouring in for the anti-corruption activist and staunch opponent of Vladimir Putin. Bill Browder, a political activist and friend of Navalny joins Neetu Garcha from Munich, Germany. A new report from a credit rating service suggests electric vehicle owners will likely have to pay higher insurance premiums in coming years. The primary concern? EV batteries live on the undercarriage of vehicles and are more susceptible to damage. The revelation comes as the Canadian government has set targets to get auto dealers to sell more zero-emission vehicles over the next decade. Kyle Benning reports. Canada makes most of the world’s maple syrup and had a record harvest in 2022. But last year's weather impacted supply causing a dip in profits. As Heidi Petracek reports, producers are hoping for a much sweeter season this year.
