3:02 am
saskatchewan are horrific and heartbreaking. he added that he was thinking of those who have lost loved one and of those who were injured were taking all steps possible to track these individuals. and any information that comes in from the public or other sources that we obtain the information we're following up on that information immediately. mike, hannah is in washington. it tells us more about how the attack unfolded. at the moment the 2 suspects are still on the run. according to the royal canadian mounted police. they have been identified as damien sanderson and michael sanderson, both of them in their thirty's driving a black, nissan road. according to the royal canadian mounted police who held a news conference a short while ago. now what they are saying to is that the initial alert came at some 7 a. m this morning, a canadian time. when the 1st reports were received of stabbings happening in the james smith cree nation, as the original reports came at that particular time,
3:03 am
then subsequent reports were coming in of a series of stabbings happening both in the james smith cree nation, as well as in the neighboring town of weldon now the royal canadian mounted police say that the last time the suspects were seen was around about lunch time. canadian time they were seen in the town of regina, now they are pulling out all stops, obviously to try and apprehend as the 2 suspects who they have now appeal to, to contact the police, should they be seeing at the various, but broadcast put out by the royal canadian mounted police. importantly the police say that some of the targets were targeted. some of those people stab were targeted . others, they say it appears to have happened at random. sam, a keg is a holstead, cbc saskatchewan news. she gave us more information on the incidence. what we really learn from our cmt, the royal canadian mounted police,
3:04 am
is that the started at 540 this morning local time with a call and 2911 about a stabbing. an after that, the called continued multiple gatherings, multiple locations. we know what the points that heavy people are, deceased 15 others are injured and this is across 13 different locations. please tell us, but they're also maybe other people who were injured but just have not identified themselves or belief. the suspect bill to this point to our knowledge have not been located by police, but they were last seen in the city ever. john, i mean the side which is the capital of the province just before noon today. and hopefully for treating us like police are like the suspects rather, are still in the city. they're doing everything they can to find them by bringing and other resources. police are assisting from ultra sections in the province. and at this point, however, the community is just waiting for more answers and hoping that these 2 are located, they're considered armed and dangerous. we don't know if the suspects are related,
3:05 am
even though they share a last name. we don't have a home community that they are from, and we don't know why they were on jim smith creation this morning. or what possibly could have been a motive. police say that some people were there appear to be targeted, but others were completely random. so some answer, but still a lot of questions. votes are being countered in chile after a referendum on whether or not to adopt a new constitution. so far, exit polls show the tally appears against adopting the new document. supporters of the new text claim, it's one of the most progressive in the world. critics fear that if an acted, the new constitution will lead to uncertainty and harm the economy. so just what is it about the proposed new constitution that some object to critics say it goes out of its way to appease the historically marginalized indigenous groups. the changes would recognize 11 indigenous tribes and offer them greater autonomy, especially in judicial issues. it would also legalize abortion and give wider
3:06 am
protections to the environment, drawing criticism from many in the traditionally conservative country. about 40 world renowned economists and political scientists have backed the new constitution . but many of those rally against the changes say it moves away from the current fremont free market model and will destabilize the economy. all right, let's cross live now to our latin america editor lucy newman in santiago lou. see if the numbers continue to trend in the direction that they have so far. what was it about the proposed new constitution that the majority of voters didn't like? and also how much has this information and misinformation played a role in the run up to this vote? well, that's a very good question and the answer, i think is a mixture of both. it's a rather complex situation. first of all, let's just put our viewers up to date on the latest figures that apparently it's going to be it's going to it has been a landslide and favorite those who objected to the constitution. 61.6 percent to
3:07 am
$38.00, a much wider margin that anyone had anticipated. even the, even the victors. i just spoke to them recently. the real, there was a huge amount of misinformation and also this information all along regarding the constitutional process and, and what the constitution said. but the constitution also was written sometimes very vague terms, was left it open to interpretation and made it easy for those who objected to and particularly on economic grounds to, to, to spread lies if you like. and that's really what did happen. but that isn't the only reason. some people believe that they just went too far, especially for example, giving rights to indigenous people. this is a constitution that hadn't been approved, that would've guaranteed social rights. so the 1st time, the last 40 years to trillions health education pension,
3:08 am
that's what the majority of williams, who went out on the streets in 2019 demanding a new constitution had asked for. but it went way beyond that in many areas. it's been applauded abroad and the money parts of chile as a very, very progressive constitution, that it protects the environment that takes into account climate, change a gender parity. those things are applauded across the board. but it was the small print, you know, they say that the devil is in the details, and those details were the ones that the majority of jillions did not want. what they've been promised as of instead they can start this process all over again. what is clear though, that is that this has been a huge blow to president deputy. any body truth has been in office for less than 6 months. as you know, he is the world's 2nd youngest president. he is a leftist, he was leading what we called a new left movement in the world in the region. and this has been
3:09 am
a little this was seen as a litmus test of his popularity and of how his administration had done so far. and clearly it is not good. lucy, is this essentially a case of chile and saying, we need to change the constitution, but it needs to be done in a different way. and if that is the case, how should the government go about doing this? now? is it expected that there would be another attempt and how long might that take exactly, that's exactly what julian. so saying there is an agreement across the board from the right wing all the way to the left. that this is not the end of the story. the constitutional process is not over, but that it will be necessary to start again. how much of what was already written in this new draft version that was rejected will be incorporated into a new version. that is something that will have to be negotiated. it's not even certain whether there will be an election now for a new constitutional convention, given the support of the rejection campaign god, it may be that it will be
3:10 am
a committee or council of experts that will draft the new constitution. none of that is known yet. i can tell you though, that the president has called for a meeting of all the political parties for monday morning to start to begin this process as quickly as possible. he hopes to announced by september the 11th when a new election or a new system for rewriting the constitution will begin. and the ballpark figure is a year, one more year to start over again and to presented in a new referendum to the julian people. all right, that sounds easier is latin america editor lucy newman. see a thank you so much for breaking that all down for us. we appreciate it. germany has announced a $65000000000.00 package to help people and businesses cope with soaring gas prices. the announcement comes 2 days after russia said one of its main supply pipelines to the continent would remain shut indefinitely. but german chancellor, olaf short insists his country will make it through the long and increasingly bleak

3:12 am
prices skyward, along with fears for millions, facing fuel poverty, with an asset this morning the, it's really spent a 100000000000 euros on, on gas in energy. and it's one of the most exposed to russian importance for that context. normally, the costs around 12000000000 euros for country like that. so this is very expensive . and what we're seeing now is those costs starting spill over the scenes in the czech republic on saturday. will crystallize one question for your opinion leaders, can they maintain public support for strong anti rush measures in the face of those domestic costs? the check prime minister says these protests were organized by what he called radical russia sympathizing elements. unless police said 70000 people took part t shield, which was this winter. russia is preparing for a decisive energy strike on all europeans. and the key answers to this should be 2 things. first are unity. unity in defense against the terrorist states. and 2nd,
