Unknown Speaker 0:06 You're listening to RSJ Radio. Unknown Speaker 0:14 Welcome to Are you listening. I'm Anna Kay Evans. Unknown Speaker 0:17 And I'm Michael Solartech. Here are the top stories for today. A look at the latest development following the Paris attacks. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sends more troops to defeat ISIS. And soccer fans in Germany won't be celebrating yet. But first. Unknown Speaker 0:37 That's the sound of the crowd breaking a moment of silence to sing the French national anthem for victims of the Paris attacks. At a vigil at Metro Station was only one of many held throughout Paris yesterday. as friends and families of the victims reflected on the tragedy. 129 people are reported dead 352 wounded and at least 99 are still in critical condition. Today Are you listening brings you a special report on the ongoing coverage. Unknown Speaker 1:13 There have been many developments following the attack on Paris. Police continue arresting suspects that may be involved in the plot. They made 16 arrests in the Paris region and more in Brussels and the eastern region of Germany. Police were particularly interested in Moline Beck, this a district in Brussels where two of the gunmen came from officials in Paris said on Tuesday that they are hunting for a second fugitive involved in the deadly attacks. Authorities haven't identified the second possible fugitive in the attack that killed at least 129 people and left over 350 wounded. Many arrests were made but two suspects remain at large. One of them salad I bet slam was a driver for the group that tacked the Bataclan theater. His Brother Mohammed at that slum spoke out yesterday and said he he should turn himself in and is concerned for his parents. Unknown Speaker 2:05 I think we think the victims of the families of the victims. But you have to also understand that we have a mother, we have a family and that despite everything he remains her child. Unknown Speaker 2:19 The other suspect at large has been accused of being the mastermind behind the plot. His name is Abdullah Mohammed Abudh a Belgian citizen who was last seen in Syria. Unknown Speaker 2:31 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that he would be sending more Canadians to train fighters against ISIS. 69 soldiers are there already training Kurdish and Iraqi soldiers to fight the Islamic State. Now he hopes to bring in more. He made the announcement after landing in Manila in time for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. Unknown Speaker 2:55 The bottom line is how can Canada best be a strong and positive contributor to the continued and continuing mission against ISIS Unknown Speaker 3:07 More Canadian boots will be on the ground, but Canada will still have a smaller military presence in Iraq and Syria. Trudeau reassured the press that he will not break his earlier promise about removing Canadian CF 18 fighter jets from the war. Unknown Speaker 3:23 A bomb scare has shut down a soccer match in Hannover, Germany. The friendly between Germany and the Netherlands was pulled after a suspicious suitcase was found in the stadium. Police ordered an evacuation and are investigating the item. The game was called off less than 90 minutes before kickoff. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and several cabinet members were due to make an appearance. Unknown Speaker 3:47 An act of terrorism brought down the Russian plane that crashed in Egypt last month. According to the head of Russia's Federal Security Service. Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed to find those responsible and hold them accountable. The Islamic State says it carried out the bombing. The head of Russia's Federal Security Service told him that a homemade bomb was detonated onboard killing all 224 people. According to experts, the homemade device was equivalent to one kilogram of TNT and broke up the plane in the air when it was detonated. Unknown Speaker 4:25 French President Francois Hollande has demanded his European allies take arms against ISIS. This follows France own airstrikes after the terror group and their Syrian strong hold of Raka Milan use an article from the European Union's Lisbon treaty to make this demand. The treaty states that the 28 countries within the union must provide aid when a fellow nation is attacked. France's defense minister called the attack September 11 for Europe, but no one has agreed to the demand yet. For now, only Russian bombers will be flying alongside the French ones in Syria. Unknown Speaker 5:01 The GTA Muslim community is rallying together after not one but two racially charged attacks over the weekend. Here's Trevor Hewitt with the story. Unknown Speaker 5:11 A local Muslim woman has been assaulted and a mosque has been burned down following the Paris terror attacks. Police Media Relations Officer Victor Quang told Are you listening that a woman was attacked yesterday on her way to pick up her children from school, her name was not made public. Unknown Speaker 5:26 A woman was walking on Grenoble Drive at about 3pm on Monday. She alleges that she was approached by to mail. These two mail allegedly made slurred racial slurs towards her, and then proceeded to assault her by punching and kicking. Unknown Speaker 5:51 Though the attack cannot be classified as a hate crime until it's brought before a crown attorney, Cuong says that the incident is being treated like one Unknown Speaker 5:59 Technically and legally, no, it's not a hate crime, because it hasn't gone before. But for layman's term, yes, because the slurs that were said, were racially motivated. Unknown Speaker 6:14 This attack wasn't the first though. On Saturday night, a mosque in Peterborough was partially burned. The incident was the result of a deliberately set fire. Peterborough police are also treating the event as a hate crime. Hussein Mullah is with the Ryerson Muslim Students Association. He says that the attacks over the weekend surprised him. Canada is known to be like a peaceful, kind country. We don't really expect these sort of things. We hear about some of barbaric things happening in other countries over here in Canada, where we're known to be peaceful, long people. So it was kind of shocking, to say the least. For him, the solution lies in changing the dialogue. Unknown Speaker 6:53 I think it's also about changing the dialogue. Because when incidents like terrorist attacks happen, if it's a person of brown, or Muslim, it's always seen as you know, Muslim terrorists or something. But when it's another race, it's not seen as immediate, we'll spin it as like a mental health problem or something. So I think by changing the dialogue, you could also help because the people that are enraged, they wouldn't have that negative perception of us if if it's not if that's not the focus. Unknown Speaker 7:19 Mariana Bokorova is a Harvard and U of T graduate that specializes in behavioral science in semiotics. She told Are you listening that from a psycho behavioral perspective, these violent reactions are a result of widespread fear created by the Paris attacks. Unknown Speaker 7:34 It could have been any given cafe it just happened to be Paris. And so I think that creates fear and a reaction to fear. Sometimes it's a violent reaction. Unknown Speaker 7:46 In the future Bokorova says that the best way to avoid Islamophobia based attacks is for the public to educate themselves on Islam. Unknown Speaker 7:55 Truly education it was Helen Keller that said the highest result of education is tolerance. And so if I think to just introduce statements about this event, and truly the reality, which is that many people are unaware of the fact that that ISIS is just a small extremist percent if we can make people aware of this fact that they're innocent Muslims being persecuted as well. It was, I assume help reduce the chances. Unknown Speaker 8:23 Police say that theyare looking for two suspects and the attack on the local Muslim woman for Are you listening? I'm Trevor Hewitt. Unknown Speaker 8:30 Police are asking anyone with information about that attack to call police at 416-808-5222 or Crimestoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477. Unknown Speaker 8:47 Canada's plan to re-settle 25,000 refugees in the new year is still on following the Paris attacks. Here's Sarah Jackson with a story. Unknown Speaker 8:56 In just 44 days, Canada is planning on welcoming 25,000 refugees through its borders. But since the terrorist attacks in Beirut and Paris last week, there has been discussion that maybe the fast approaching deadline should be extended. Brad wall the premier of Saskatchewan said on Monday the deadline should be pushed back until Canada can be sure that I can resettle the refugees safely. Unknown Speaker 9:17 Let's make sure we are helping Syrian refugees as a country and as a province. Let's take as many as we can. But let's do it in a safe way. First of all, let's also do it in a way that ensures that settlement isn't an issue. And I don't have that confidence right now. Unknown Speaker 9:33 But he said that Canada is still welcomes refugees, and that there is no place for Islamophobia in this country. Allen Seers a professor of sociology at Ryerson University, disagrees that Canada isn't prepared for the people fleeing the horrors of ISIS. He says that Canada has a responsibility to aid in this humanitarian crisis. I Unknown Speaker 9:51 don't think the numbers just came out of the air but came out of a number that's quite handleable given Canada's history of doing this in the past, and the crisis that people are facing is so pressing that I think we owe it to the world to stretch ourselves. Unknown Speaker 10:08 Syria says that fearing the very people who are fleeing the political violence in Syria is a form of Islamophobia with stories of racial discrimination happening since the recent terrorist attacks. This is a real concern series. But despite the opposition health minister Jane Philpott says that the plan to resettle 25,000 refugees by January 1st is still on from Are you listening I'm Sarah Jackson.

Unknown Speaker 12:27 This has the potential to be a world class destination. This has the potential to be just like the CN Tower.

A surprising announcement from charlie sheen. Apple brings digital wallets to Canada and the blue jeans have big names. But first, Unknown Speaker 15:35 in Health and Science, a single pill can cure hepatitis. A study has found groundwater is non renewable. The International Space Station is down one power circuit, and uterus transplants may be the cure for women who have uterine factor infertility. Here's Amanda Gilmore with the stories. Unknown Speaker 15:53 In a new study from Toronto Western hospital found that a combination of two compounds works on all strains of the hepatitis C virus. chronic hepatitis C is known as a silent killer because symptoms don't appear until the liver is severely damaged. If undiagnosed B infection can lead to cirrhosis. This medication is a breakthrough because it prevents the virus as well as curing those diagnosed. In science. A new study has found that groundwater is non renewable. Here's Catherine Machado with the story. Unknown Speaker 16:26 The study was released yesterday by University of Victoria hydrogeologist Tom Gleason and his colleagues, the water that they studied supplies, aquifers all around the world. ographers are the system that extract water from the ground after it cleanses itself through rock, sand and more. The study found that groundwater takes much longer to replenish them once thought. Mandy mirando is an associate professor from the Environmental Studies Department at the University of Toronto. She wasn't surprised by these findings. Unknown Speaker 16:55 And we're not using water right? I mean, there needs to be an education. People love to use less water or for us to you know, have something in place that we will not get our demand on a water we work with. Unknown Speaker 17:10 Just 6% of groundwater around the world is replenished within a human lifetime of 50 years. The efficiency of an aquifer system depends on its location and depth in the ground. This means that developing countries with drier climates find their supplies drying up a lot sooner. Mariana explained how shallower aquifers are more typical in these regions because they are easier and cheaper to install. But the shallower the aquifer, the less water it reaches. She explained how if you don't allow the system to replenish itself, then you are just emptying it out. Unknown Speaker 17:42 If you take water out of them, like mining them, because they're not being recharged. Unknown Speaker 17:48 Mariana says that there was a time we could claim ignorance, but now is not that time. She says that we need more education. But most importantly, we need policies and laws to be shaped around these findings. I'm Catherine Machado for Are you listening? Unknown Speaker 18:02 Thank you Catherine.
