  Speaker 1: to show some young people assaulting another person. Young people
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: shown in the video have not been identified to the

  Speaker 1: RCMP and no reports of a similar assault have yet
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: been made to police. The video was officially reported to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the RCMP by a concerned third party, anyone with information.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: asked to contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers. A 75-year-old
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: man is dead following a single-vehicle crash on the Beer
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and Peninsula Highway on Sunday. The RCMP were called to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the crash scene just before noon, and it happened just
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: south of Terrenceville. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Another occupant was sent to hospital with injuries that are
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: not believed to be life-threatening. An investigation into the crash
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is still ongoing. Ontario's police watchdog says the man suspected
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of opening fire at police officers outside his synagogue has died. Belleville,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Ontario police have identified the man as 29-year-old Sean Ward
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of Quinty West. A special investigations unit says that the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: shootout left the officer seriously injured. The shooting happened at
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the start of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Jewish calendar. In other news, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the United Nations in New York today on a wide-ranging
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: speech that went from everything from immigration, climate change, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: international criminal courts. Trump offered a chilling warning to Iran
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: while claiming that the war in that country will be
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: resolved soon.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: But I have a big decision to make. Will a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: create a far greater country than it ever was before?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: even the world. Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You'd have to go back decades to find another year
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like the current hurricane season. To date, no hurricanes have
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: formed in the Atlantic Basin, a phenomenon not seen in
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: 112 years. That's thanks to a strong El Nino effect.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: which is effectively suppressing the formation of major storms in
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the Atlantic. There have been six named storms so far
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: this season, none of which have achieved hurricane status. That
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: compares to seven this time last year, and two developed
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: into hurricanes. Environment Canada meteorologist David Neal.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Obviously, 112 years ago, that was before the era of
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: satellite observations. So that era started in the 1960s, so.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Anything kind of before that period, before we had satellite data,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you kind of had to take with a little bit
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: of a grain of salt to an extent, just because
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: there could have been some that wouldn't have detected just
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: with the lack of ability to use the satellite data.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And that's your news. I'm Zach Power.
