Global National: Jan. 4, 2024 | Rogers, Bell to raise prices on some phone plans
On this episode: Rogers and Bell will both soon raise the prices of some of their wireless phone plans, adding more pressure on top of the rising cost of living. Mackenzie Gray explains how a lack of competition among major cellphone carriers in Canada is contributing to the problem and looks at the reaction of some frustrated Canadians over the imminent increases. Walter Gillespie, 81, and Robert Mailman, who is 76 and has terminal cancer, have been exonerated of second-degree murder 40 years after they received life sentences in the killing of George Gilman Leeman in Saint John, N.B. Heidi Petracek reports on the emotional reaction to justice finally being delivered. The sentencing hearing for Nathaniel Veltman is taking place in London, Ont. Veltman was found guilty in November of four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder for striking a Muslim family with his truck while they were out for a walk. Seán O'Shea was in the courtroom and reports on the victim impact statements. With Israel's assault on Gaza dragging on for nearly three months, and the killings of Hamas officials in Lebanon, there are growing fears the fighting could spread throughout the Middle East. Jackson Proskow looks at the latest violence in the region and how the U.S. is trying to prevent the crisis from escalating. Health-care professionals across Canada are saying Invasive group A streptococcus (iGAS) could be responsible for many of the symptoms of illness many are feeling this winter. Katherine Ward explains what to know about the risks of infection, especially for kids. Plus, 13-year-old Willis Gibson, also known as "Blue Scuti" online, is believed to be the first person to officially "beat" the classic version of Tetris, more than three decades after its release. Abigail Bimman looks at what "winning" the influential game actually means and how Gibson's historic achievement has rocked the gaming world.
