Canadian cruise passengers self-isolate; Eurovision boycott


Listen Later

All the Canadian passengers from the MV Hondius cruise struck by hantavirus in the southern Atlantic Ocean are now back in the country and self-isolating. Heidi Petracek reports on what we're learning about some of them, how they're doing, and the cruise captain's message to the public. And it's understandable this outbreak is triggering unease and flashbacks to the COVID-19 pandemic, but as Mike Armstrong explains, doctors underscore there are big differences between the two diseases. Jackson Proskow reports on how U.S. President Donald Trump is blasting Iran's proposal to end the war, and how the world is bracing for energy shortages because of the Strait of Hormuz blockades. Heather Yourex-West looks at how the high cost of gas is driving Canadians to redraw their vacation plans, and how businesses which rely on tourism are bracing for impact. Jillian Piper looks at how more Canadians are starting to travel to the U.S. again. Also, a Global News exclusive: a man convicted in the U.S. and facing charges in India for allegedly helping to plan one of the world's largest terrorist attacks is fighting to keep his Canadian citizenship. Jeff Semple explains how Tahawwur Hussain Rana is accused of lying to obtain it, and why it can take so long to revoke citizenship in Canada. Plus, Eric Sorensen explains why five countries are boycotting Eurovision, the world's biggest song contest.
