Global National: May 2, 2024 | Police recordings offer new insight into Highway 401 wrong-way chase

Police radio recordings are providing new details about the high-speed pursuit going the wrong way on Highway 401 east of Toronto, killing a baby boy and his grandparents. Mike Drolet explains who else was in the vehicle with the victims; what a senior police officer tried to do just before the moment of impact and the province's rules on police pursuits. The biggest pro-Palestinian encampment on a Canadian post-secondary campus is at McGill University, which is now being met by a counter-protest from pro-Israeli demonstrators. Mike Armstrong reports on how the situation is evolving and what Quebec Premier François Legault is calling for. U.S. authorities and post-secondary schools are struggling to restore order, where pro-Palestinian protesters are refusing to give in. Jackson Proskow reports on the overnight arrests made at UCLA, the mounting frustration at other institutions and the challenge of how to deal with the unrest peacefully. While Hamas weighs its response to a ceasefire proposal that would trigger a hostage-prisoner swap and pause the fighting in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a deal will not affect his country's planned ground offensive into Rafah. Crystal Goomansingh reports on where negotiations stand, the pressure on Netanyahu to de-escalate and where Israeli military vehicles have started to gather. The Ontario government has ordered INEOS Styrolution to keep its chemical plant in Sarnia closed until the province is satisfied it can operate more safely. As Carolyn Jarvis reports, the order follows numerous complaints from people in neighbouring Aamjiwnaang First Nation, who say they became sick after high levels of the cancer-causing chemical benzene were detected in the air. Carbon emissions in Canada in 2022 were the lowest they have been in 25 years, excluding the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new federal data. Ottawa boasts its climate policies are working, so Mackenzie Gray has a reality check on whether Canada is actually on track to meet its emission reduction targets. Plus, historians are drawing comparisons between the pro-Palestinian student protests spreading across post-secondary campuses and previous demonstrations against America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Eric Sorensen explores the similarities and differences of these movements.
