>> THE ABU SAYEF, I SAW SOME OF
THE WIVES, SOMETIMES IF THEY
HAVE A FAMILY DAY, THEY CALL
FAMILY
DAY.
THEY HAVE THE WIVES AND THE
KIDS.
>> REPORTER: THE KIDNAPPERS HAD
A FAMILY DAY?
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> REPORTER: THEY WOULD BRING
THE FAMILY.
>> BRING THEIR FAMILY.
I TALKED TO THE WYE OF THE GUY
WHO DID THE BEHEADING.
I TALKED TO HER THAT PLEASE, CAN
YOU PLEASE TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND.
BECAUSE OF COURSE HE IS THE
LEADER, CAN YOU TALK TO HIM THAT
THIS MONEY THAT THEY WERE
ASKING, IT IS RIDICULOUS.
SHE TOLD ME OKAY, OKAY.
OKAY, I WILL TALK TO HIM.
I WILL TALK TO HIM.
I DIDN'T TRUST THEM.
I DIDN'T TRUST THEM.
>> REPORTER: THERE WERE NO
CONCESSIONS.
LIFE GOT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS.
THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY SEEMED
TO BE GOING AFTER ABU SAYEF.
TESS REMEMBERS NINE ASSAULTS,
BULLETS FLYING AND ALWAYS
WONDERING MAYBE THEY WOULD BE
FREE.
BUT, NO.
>> SOMETIMES, WE FELT SCARED, OF
COURSE, AND SOMETIMES AFTER THE
FIGHT WE SAY, IT IS FRUSTRATING
BECAUSE WE ARE STILL HERE.
>> REPORTER: TESS'S MEMORY SEEMS
ACCURATE BECAUSE THE PHILIPPINE
MILITARY CLAIMS IT WAS TRYING TO
RESCUE THE HOSTAGES AND, YES,
THERE WERE NINE ASSAULTS.
>> YOU WERE NEAR, MANY TIMES YOU
WERE ABLE TO HIT THE ENEMY, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THEY DID -- THE
VICTIMS WERE NOT RESCUED BECAUSE
THE ENEMY HAS OTHER TACTICS.
>> REPORTER: THE MILITARY SENT
THE PHOTOS OF THE PHILIPPINE
CASUALTIES, OF ALL THE EFFORTS,
FOR NOT JUST THE CANADIANS.
BUT VIETNAMESE HOSTAGES HELD
NEARBY.
THESE ARE NOT JUST INJURIES BUT
DEATHS.
HOW MANY SOLDIERS DID YOU LOSE
TRYING TO RESCUE THE CANADIANS?
>> WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT I GIVE
YOU A RANGE.
FROM 30 TO 35, THAT RANGE FROM
DIFFERENT OPERATIONS.
THEY LOST THEIR LIVES TRYING TO
RESCUE THE KIDNAP VICTIMS.
THE CANADIAN KIDNAP VICTIMS.
>> REPORTER: HOW CLOSE EXACTLY?
CLOSE ENOUGH, HE SAYS, IT HURTS
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
>> I CAN GENERALIZE, TELL YOU IT
IS 100 OR SO, 100 OR 50 METRES.
THAT CLOSE.
>> REPORTER: 100 METRES IN THE
JUNGLE CAN BE A LONG WAY.
IT DOES SEEM CLEAR, THOUGH, THE
MILITARY HAD EYES ON THE
HOSTAGES.
INTELLIGENCE REPORTS OBTAINED BY
THE CBC SHOW EVEN EARLY ON IN
THE KIDNAPPING, OCTOBER 11TH,
PHILIPPINE INTELLIGENCE HAD
IDENTIFIED THAT 250 MEN WERE
GUARDING THE HOSTAGES, WERE
POTENTIALLY SHIELDING THEM
BRIEFLY AT A MAKESHIFT MOSQUE.
THOSE HOSTAGES WERE KEPT ON THE
MOVE EVERY DAY FOR MONTHS.
THE DAY BEFORE THE RANSOM
DEADLINE, TESS
SAID THE FIGHTING GOT MORE
INTENSE.
>> THEY DON'T KNOW, THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO DO --
>> REPORTER: THE KIDNAPPERS
TRIED, SHE SAID, TO SQUEEZE
MILLIONS OUT OF RIDSDEL FAMILY
ONE LAST TIME.
HE WAS TAKEN AWAY IN HANDCUFFS.
ROBERT BELIEVING HIS FELLOW
CANADIAN WAS GOING HOME.
UNTIL THE SOUNDS OF THE
BEHEADING VIDEO ECHOED IN THE
JUNGLE.
>> YOU HEARD -- THAT WAS THE
TIME WE BELIEVED THAT THEY
KILLED JOHN.
>> REPORTER: THEN CAME THE CALLS
ABOUT ROBERT.
TESS THREATENED WITH BEATINGS IF
SHE DID NOT TALK TO THE ENGLISH
SPEAKING NEGOTIATORS.
>> I AM APPEALING TO THE
CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.
>> REPORTER: SHE BEGGED THE
KIDNAPPERS FOR TIME.
>> SOMETIMES I BLAME MYSELF.
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.
I STILL REMEMBER THE LAST TIME
WE TALKED.
ROBERT AND I, THE LAST TIME WE
TALKED.
THE LAST TIME I FELT HIS HUG.
THEY WANTED TO BRING ROBERT AWAY
FROM ME.
ROBERT SAID,
COME ON, GIVE ME A HUG, THAT WAS
THE LAST HUG.
>> REPORTER: THEY MANAGED TO
SLIP HER A NOTE FOR HIS FAMILY
AND THEN HE WAS GONE.
THE DETAILS OF HIS DEATH SHE
KEEPS LOCKED INSIDE.
TEN DAYS LATER, THE UNEXPECTED A
RANSOM WAS PAID FOR THE
NORWEGIAN AND A TRAUMATIZED TESS
WAS FREED.
>> THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA IS
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE
GOVERNMENT OF PHILIPPINES,
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO PURSUE
THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
HEINOUS ACT AND BRING THEM TO
JUSTICE.
>> REPORTER: THE R.C.M.P.
INSISTS AN INVESTIGATION IS
UNDERWAY.
NO ONE WE SPOKE WITH HAD CONTACT
WITH CANADIAN INVESTIGATORS.
AND NO UPDATES ARE ON OFFER.
WE HAVE LEARNED THIS, THE
BEHEADER IS AT LARGE.
AT LEAST
TWO OF THE OTHER KIDNAPPERS ALSO
TOOK PART IN THE BEHEADING OF A
GERMAN TOURIST LAST MONTH.
THE NAMES AND FACES WELL KNOWN.
THEY HAVE YET TO BE CAUGHT.
THEN THERE IS TESS,
CARRYING THE PICTURES AND NOTES
FROM ROBERT ALWAYS, SHE IS
STRUGGLING A BIT WITH HER HEALTH
AND THIS IMPULSE TO ALWAYS LOOK
OVER HER SHOULDER.
>> I HOPE WE CAN SHARE OUR
GRIEF.
>> REPORTER: TO GET AWAY FROM IT
ALL FOR A WHILE, TO BE WITH
ROBERT'S FAMILY IS WHAT THEY ARE
ALL PUSHING FOR.
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> I LOVE YOU.
BE GOOD TO YOURSELF.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE.
BYE.
>> REPORTER: NOTHING IS EASY
HERE.
CAN'T BE A VISIT UNTIL THERE IS
MONEY FOR THE TRIP.
NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO RAISE
ENOUGH OF THAT YET.
SHE IS A BIT STUCK WITH HER
MEMORIES AS COMPANY.
THE VERY BEST OF THEM AND THE
ONES YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO
IMAGINE.
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT, CBC NEWS,
MANILA.
>> PETER: ADRIENNE WILL HAVE
MORE FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
SHE WILL TAKE US INSIDE THE
FIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY ON THE
STREETS AND EVEN ONLINE.
HERE IS A PREVIEW.
>> REPORTER: DEATH IN THE
PHILIPPINES DOES NOT JUST HAPPEN
NOW.
SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT
HAPPENS BY DECREE.
>> MY CAMPAIGN AGAINST DRUGS.
WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE LAST --
THE LAST DRUG LORD ARE...
>> THEY SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD.
>> REPORTER: IT CAN LOOK LIKE
THERE IS A RANDOMNESS TO THE
KILLINGS.
THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE
CASE.
NEIGHBOURHOODS THAT DRAW UP KILL
LISTS.
PHOTOGRAPHERS INVESTIGATE AND
COUNT THE LOSSES.
WHO IS BEHIND THE KILLINGS MAY
BE JUST BE TOO DANGEROUS TO ASK.
FAMILIES SO POOR, THEY CANNOT
AFFORD TO BURY THEIR DEAD.
HAVE TO GAMBLE TO PAY FOR
FUNERALS.
THE POPULATION, THE NUMBERS
SUGGEST, THAT STILL SUPPORT THE
WAR ON DRUGS.
IS THAT SUPPORT REAL?
>> PETER: THAT STORY, PLUS FAKE
NEWS, PHILIPPINE STYLE.
COMING IN THE WEEKS AHEAD.
>>> RIGHT NOW, STAY TUNED FOR A
BRUTAL TRUTH ABOUT BREXIT.
BRITISH BUSINESS IS HOOKED ON
EUROPEAN WORKERS.
>> THE PROCESS IS NOW UNDERWAY.
THE UNITED KINGDOM IS LEAVING
THE EUROPEAN UNION.
>> PETER: FOR ANYONE IN BRITAIN
WHO HAD BEEN SLEEPWALKING TO
BREXIT, TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT
FROM THE PRIME MINISTER THERESA
MAY WAS A WAKEUP CALL.
DESPITE THE FACT THE ACTUAL
BREAK FROM THE EU IS STILL YEARS
AWAY, CONSEQUENCES HAVE ALREADY
KICKED IN.
AS NAHLAH AYED EXPLAINS, AMID
RISING UNCERTAINTY AND A FALLING
CURRENCY, BRITAIN IS CHANGING.
AND IF YOU BELIEVE MAY, THERE IS
NO TURNING BACK.
>> REPORTER: THEY ARE CONSTANTLY
ON THE MOVE.
IN A WORLD THAT KNOWS NO
BORDERS.
THE LINES WITHIN THE EUROPEAN
UNION ORCHESTRA ARE BLURRED.
EQUALLY.
AMONG THEM, 13 NATIONALITIES
THIS YEAR.
THEIR BASE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
BRITAIN.
>> INTERVIEW: AFTER THE EUROPEAN
UNION WAS INVENTED AND -- THEY
ARE USED TO MOVING ACROSS
BORDERS EVERY DAY.
THEY CAN MOVE WHERE THEY LIKE.
>> REPORTER: THAT IS CHANGING.
GIVEN THE U.K.'S DECISION TO GO
SOLO.
UNIMAGINABLE, BEFORE THAT, THE
YOUNG MUSICIANS, LIKE JULIO...
>> INTERVIEW: WELL, IT WAS THE
MAIN TOPIC FOR MANY WEEKS, AND,
YEAH, WE WERE WONDERING WHAT
WILL HAPPEN WITH THE ORCHESTRA
AFTER THIS.
WE KNEW THAT SOMETHING WILL HAVE
TO CHANGE.
>> REPORTER: INEVITABLE, BECAUSE
FOR ONE, THE ORCHESTRA IS FUNDED
BY THE EU AND THE LOOMING LIMITS
TO FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT COULD
SPELL AN UNWANTED FINALE.
THEY ARE NOT WAITING TO FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENS.
AS BRITAIN GIVES OFFICIAL NOTICE
TO THE EU OF ITS INTENTIONS TO
LEAVE, THEY ARE SOUNDING THE
FINAL NOTES OF AN ERA AND
PLANNING TO LEAVE TOO.
>> INTERVIEW: THE INVITATION
CAME TO THINK ABOUT RELOCATING.
THE MORE WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT,
THE MORE SENSIBLE IT SEEMED TO
TAKE A STRATEGIC VIEW NOW AND
MAKE THE TRANSITION AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
>> REPORTER: BREXIT IS GOING
FROM DREADED POSSIBILITY TO
LOOMING EVENTALITY.
ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR THE
ESTIMATED 3 MILLION EU NATIONALS
LIVING HERE, ESPECIALLY THE FREE
MOVEMENT, ARE IN SOME SECTORS
ALREADY FELT AND LAMENTED.
VITAL SECTORS LIKE THE NATIONAL
HEALTH SERVICE.
WHERE THE NUMBER OF EU NURSES
REGISTERING HAS REPORTEDLY
DECLINED BY 75% SINCE THE VOTE.
AN EMERGENCY IN A SYSTEM THAT
RELIES ON EU CITIZENS.
THIS PICTURE OF ONE SURGICAL
TEAM SHARED COUNTLESS
TIMES DEMONSTRATES.
>> SMALL MOVEMENT IN THAT
PROPORTION, IN THE NEXT FEW
YEARS AS WE TRAIN MORE PEOPLE
DOMESTICALLY, WE PUT LIVES AT
RISK.
IT MEANS DELAYS FOR PATIENTS IN
TERMS OF TREATMENT.
IT WOULD MEAN POORER
AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES IN THE
COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE IN THEIR
OWN HOMES OR IN RESIDENTIAL
HOMES.
>> REPORTER: LONDON'S AMBITIOUS
CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS HAS AN
ESCALATING SKILL SHORTAGE.
AND A LOOMING THREAT TO SOME
200,000 JOBS.
IN HOSPITALITY, SOME LIKE THIS
CHAIN ARE TURNING TO SUMMER TEAM
INTERNSHIPS TO TRY TO GET AHEAD
OF ANY SHORTFALL.
>> I WOULD SAY THAT 1 IN 50
PEOPLE THAT APPLY TO OUR COMPANY
TO WORK IS BRITISH.
>> 1 IN 50?
>> 1 IN 50.
>> REPORTER: IT IS A PATTERN
WELL KNOWN IN THE COUNTLESS
HOTELS HERE.
AT THE THRIVING GEORGIAN HOUSE
HOTEL, BREXIT IS SEEN AS A BROAD
SIDE THAT WILL SPARE NO ONE.
BRITISH OWNED, OWNED AND
OPERATED, IT IS NEAR 88% STAFFED
BY EU CITIZENS.
AND HAS BEEN FOR THE 30 YEARS
SHE HAS RUN IT.
>> INTERVIEW: IT IS COMPLETELY
VITAL.
I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW WE WOULD
OPEN OUR DOORS AND TRADE IF WE
DID NOT HAVE EU EMPLOYEES.
AND THE THOUGHT IS FRIGHTENING.
>> WE HAVE OUR SECRET DOOR.
LET'S GO DOWNSTAIRS.
>> REPORTER: GABY, A ROMANIAN
CITIZEN, IS PROUD TO WORK HERE.
>> WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?
>> THE WOODEN CHAMBER.
MY COLLEAGUE IS FINISHING.
>> I LOVE WORKING HERE.
>> REPORTER: THE PRICE IS HIGH.
AN 8-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER LEFT WITH
HER PARENTS.
THE HARD WORK PAYS OFF.
>> HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU MAKE
HERE?
>> A LOT.
NOW, I CAN AFFORD TO LIVE HERE
LIKE A DECENT LIFE AND TO SEND
HOME MONEY.
>> REPORTER: SHE IS NOT REJECTED
TO THE FUTURE BEYOND THE END OF
BREXIT NEGOTIATIONS TWO YEARS
FROM NOW.
MOVING ELSEWHERE MEANS LEARNING
A NEW LANGUAGE AND MAYBE
STARTING AT THE BOTTOM AGAIN.
>> FOR ME, PERSONALLY, THIS IS
NOT AN OPTION.
I CAN GO BACK.
>> WE ARE WORKING HERE.
WE PAY THE TAXES.
WE DON'T HAVE BENEFITS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WANT US TO
GO HOME.
>> REPORTER: UNCOMFORTABLE
QUESTIONS HANG OVER THE
UNCERTAINTY SHARED BY BRITISH
AND NON-BRITISH ALIKE.
HE HAPPENS TO BE BOTH, A BRITISH
CITIZEN WHO FIRST CAME
HERE AS A STUDENT FROM CROATIA.
>> INTERVIEW: I COME FROM A
COUNTRY WHERE NATIONALIST TOOK
PRECEDENTS OVERALL ELSE.
I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
IT MEANS BAD NEWS.
>> REPORTER: IT IS ONE OF THE
LAST CONCERTS BEFORE MOVING ON.
HARD TO LET GO WHEN IT HAS BEEN
A LIFETIME OF WORK.
>> INTERVIEW: AS IT HAPPENS, I
AM COMING TO THE END OF MY
CAREER.
AND MY INTENTION IS TO MAKE SURE
THERE IS A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO
A NEW REGIME IN BELGIUM.
>> REPORTER: THE FUTURE HAS
ARRIVED.
A BORDERLESS WORLD IS STARTING
TO FEEL ONE COUNTRY SMALLER.
NAHLAH AYED, CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND.
>> PETER: COMING UP, ORANGE IS
NO LONGER THE NEW BLACK.
IT IS NOW A DARKER SHADE THAN
YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.
[ref's whistle]
>> Announcer: A new season of
Still Standing,
this summer on CBC.
[*]
>> Peter: LOOKING AT IT CAN BE
UNNERVING, A SPECIAL MATERIAL
DESCRIBED AS THE BLACKEST BLACK.
AND NOW SCIENTISTS HAVE MADE IT
DARKER.
THIS IS IT.
IT LOOKS ALMOST PHOTO SHOPPED,
RIGHT.
YOU ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT A
THREE DIMENSIONAL OBJECT.
THE MATERIAL MAKES IT SO DARK
AND FEATURELESS, IT LOOKS LIKE A
FLAT CIRCLE.
IT IS CALLED VANTA-BLACK.
THE LATEST VERSION ABSORBS 96%
OF VISIBLE LIGHT.
IT IS NOT A FABRIC.
RATHER, A SPRAY ON COATING MADE
WITH TINY TUBES OF CARBON.
LIGHT CAN GO IN BUT CAN'T BOUNCE
OUT.
THE END RESULT, A DARK VOID YOU
COULD GET LOST IN.
>>> THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" THIS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
FOR NEWS AT ANY HOUR, YOU CAN GO

I'M PETER MANSBRIDGE.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
