Global National with Dawna Friesen

Miners trapped; Top UN court says healthy environment is human right


Listen Later

A complex rescue operation is underway near Dease Lake, B.C., where three miners are trapped underground at the Red Chris copper and gold mine. Neetu Garcha explains what happened, and what's complicating rescue efforts. In a landmark opinion, the United Nations' highest court says a "clean, healthy, and sustainable environment" is a human right. Eric Sorensen explains what the International Court of Justice (ICJ) says could happen to countries and companies that don't protect the planet from climate change, and whether the threat of consequences will be enough to spur action. Redmond Shannon reports on how humanitarian groups are warning that mass starvation is spreading through Gaza. With the Canada-U.S. trade war dragging on, many Canadians are standing firm on their boycott of travelling to the U.S. Touria Izri reports on the new data from Statistics Canada, and why domestic tourism isn't necessarily reaping the benefits of Canadians' summer staycations. And a secret of the seabed: Vincent McAviney explains how marine archaeologists identified a 250-year-old shipwreck that was found in Scotland and has a Canadian connection.
