Global National: March 8, 2024 | Exclusive interview with aunt of alleged killer in Ottawa murders

In tonight's top story: The 19-year-old Sri Lankan national, Febrio De-Zoysa, charged in what police have called one of the worst mass killings in Ottawa’s recent history, has family in the city who say his behaviour recently changed. Global News has an exclusive interview with the accused killer's aunt. Mackenzie Gray reports. On the heels of an explosive investigation by Global News into the for-profit group home industry in Ontario, Manitoba is facing problems of its own. The province is investigating a group home where teens were given marijuana as a means of harm reduction. Some are blaming the government, saying there's a lack of support for high-needs youth, which is the real issue. Melissa Ridgen has the story. The European Commission has revealed a maritime corridor to get aid from Cyprus into Gaza, which could begin operating this weekend. The move follows U.S. President Joe Biden's announcement Thursday night, that the U.S. will build a temporary pier on Gaza's Mediterranean coast. Crystal Goomansingh lays out what we know about the plans and the potential obstacles. There's a digital revolt brewing in the United States over plans in Washington, D.C., to force the sale of TikTok. U.S. lawmakers have approved a bill that could push the Chinese owners of the app to sell, or face being banned across America. Jackson Proskow explains if a TikTok ban can really happen. Plus, on Tuesday, Azerbaijan demolished the building that once housed the break-away Parliament of Nagorno-Karabakh. It's a move that underscores Azerbaijan's restored control, after its forces recaptured the region last year, and more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians fled. As Redmond Shannon reports, there are now growing concerns about what will happen to churches, graveyards, and other cultural sites. And as the world marks International Women's Day, Global News is taking a look at the powerful voices of Indigenous women in the Canadian film industry. A new film is making its debut across Canada, following two Inuit women as they work to reclaim their language and culture. Neetu Garcha has more on how the pair hopes to impact future generations.
