initial reports with regards to a fight or an altercation that happened on the road when we uh arrived we learned that there were shots that had been fired uh out of a vehicle and the vehicle had subsequently fled westbound on Rosemont Avenue police say no one was injured in this shooting they're still looking for the suspect vehicle investigators say the shooting occurred while students at nearby Oakwood Collegiate were on their lunch break the school was put into lockdown for much of the afternoon as the clock ticks towards a potential strike by Air Canada Pilots many Travelers are making backup plans for some it means canceling planed trips for others it means buying tickets on other airlines ctv's Mike Walker is live inside Pearson Airport tonight with the very latest Mike well Michelle and Nathan negotiations are continuing with only a couple of days left to reach a deal Travelers we're speaking with today are worried about the return flights home and are now considering Plan B at the country's busiest airport it's business as usual for arriving and departing Air Canada flights but Travelers like these sisters who will be on a cruise are anxious with time running out to a potential pilot strike though we may not get home if they don't settle it's a bit of added extra stress therapist Lee Kellog is scheduled to return home from the US on Wednesday that's when Air Canada's 5200 Pilots could walk off the job I would have you know like eight clients on Wednesday that I'm going to have to cancel which is not fair for them she's hoping the strike will be averted but with the 72-hour strike or lockout notice possibly being issued Sunday other Travelers are already booking backup plans I basically booked a flare flight home as well so I'll fly your candid if they don't strike and I'll fly flare if they do passenger rights Advocates are advising travelers to wait it out if you buy a backup flight before your flight is cancelled uh it's not clear whether you can recover the cost of that backup flight the principle is that you first have to wait until your flight is cancelled then you give the airline a chance to rebook you in accordance with the law Air Canada cargo stopped accepting items such as live animals and perishables some aircraft have been rerooted for maintenance during a possible work stoppage if a deal isn't reached the airline will start gradually cancelling flights on Sunday leading to a full shutdown on Wednesday they want to have what's all called an orderly wind down which basically means that the aircraft and crew are all where they're supposed to be the two sides remain at an impass over wages the union wants to narrow the gap between Canadian and American salaries sometimes we really do feel like we're close to getting a deal and other times we feel like we're still miles apart we've offered uh over 30% increases on wages that can go up to 350,000 per year and more uh but we unfortunately faced with unreasonable wage demand leaving Travelers anxiously checking their flight schedules I'm scheduled to fly home next Thursday to return to work the following Monday uh I had to tell the guys that I might be stranded there and mulling over other travel options now both sides say they are committed to continuing negotiations over the weekend to try and reach a deal now if flights are canceled Air Canada says it will rebook passengers with another airline but it's not guaranteed seats will be available otherwise it says refunds will be issued reporting live at Pearson Airport I'm Mike Walker

meters of a school or daycare the daycare that's too close here is run by the same service this site is one of five supervised consumption sites in Toronto slated to be shut down by the provincial government that would replace them with treatment centers the new rules will also affect at least two sites Within homeless shelters the sites in red are the ones that will no longer operate in Toronto in a statement a health Ministry spokesperson said communities parents and families across Ontario have made it clear that the presence of drug consumption sites near schools and daycares is leading to serious safety problems we agree that's why our government is taking action to keep Community safe while supporting the recovery of those struggling with opioid addiction a terrible idea it means more people will die how many not clear but a CTV News Review of federal data showed sites facing shutdown in Toronto reversed at least three overdoses a day across Ontario it was almost six a day and Toronto police neighborhood level data didn't show an increase in crime after the sites were brought in those who work with addicts say supervised consumption sites keep people alive long

Center and using civilians as human Shields Ukraine is renewing its plea to Western allies to allow their missiles to be fired at military Targets in Russia as ctvs Heather right reports that request is prompting renewed threats from Moscow as its Invasion shows no SL signs of slowing down Ukraine has been firing Western missiles at Russian targets for months but only those inside Ukraine Russian President Vladimir Putin is warning if any hit across the border he will consider Russia at war with NATO this is a carefully um planned statement by the Russian president um designed to have that chilling effect it's one of many red lines Moscow has drawn and ignored since it launched its fullscale invasion of Ukraine 2 and a/ half years ago but it's a red line both the US and UK are at least considering Crossing as the country's two leaders meet to discuss Ukraine's request to allow it to use Western supplied missiles to hit military targets inside Russia Ukraine really needs to defend itself from these sort of strikes and holding them back from targeting largely the largely the places where these strikes originating from is a massive amount of hypocrisy Russia carries out missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities on a daily basis and Ukraine wants to use the sophisticated missile systems of the US and UK to strike back at the Russian sites where these attacks are launched at the United Nations today Russia's Ambassador repeated Putin's warning that will mean that from that moment NATO countries are starting a direct war with Russia the United States has not ruled out allowing Ukraine to use its missiles inside Russia and if it does there are doubts Russia would even enforce this new red line and start a second war with NATO Heather right ETV news Toronto prime

of our world of the world there's never been a border like this Trump also repeated his belief that he won the debate against kamla Harris this week despite polls and pun suggesting otherwise it was at that debate that he repeated unsubstantiated claims that migrants in Ohio were eating residents pets US President Joe Biden called him out today Community that's under attack in our country right now simply wrong there's no place in America this has to stop what he's doing it has to stop Donald Trump hasn't backed down from his comments about Springfield Ohio which has seen an influx of migrants from Haiti in recent years but local officials there have stressed there is no evidence for the claims the former president's been making they also say there's been a number of bomb threats made to buildings in the city the vice president meanwhile is campaigning in Pennsylvania today there are a lot of people in Pennsylvania who deserve to be seen and heard that's why I'm here in Johnstown and I will be continuing to travel around the state to make sure that I'm listening as much as we are talking and ultimately I feel very strongly that got to earn every vote and that means spending time with folks in the communities where they live and um and so that's why I'm here we're going to be spending a lot more time in Pennsylvania while Americans are keeping a close eye on

occurred has found issues that's things you just cannot think about 90% of our train is preparing for the unexpected NASA decided it was too risky for the test pilots to fly back on Starliner this summer as planned so they're waiting for a SpaceX rocket to bring them home in February Sunni Williams said she's grateful to have the chance to spend more time in space Bush Willmore says he's

Hall tonight why one counselor says Nathan Phillips Square needs a makeover and iPad 4 and coming up on consumer alert if you have a vehicle it's something you never want to happen getting a flat tire if it does happen do you know if your car has a spare more newer vehicles are coming without a spare tire I'll love that story that's just ahead and there's no spoiler alert here it remains beautiful here in the city of Toronto and right across the GTA we're holding on to that heat as we head throughout the weekend staying above seasonal coming up we'll have a full look at your long range forecast including what we can expect throughout the weekend here at home and maybe for heading up North and I'll have your full forecast all those details are coming up after the break and stay with us we have another full night of great shows for you right right here on CTV if you're driving it's something you never want to happen the dreaded flat tire that leaves you on the side of the road in the past if you had a flat you could always count on having a spare in the trunk but now that's not the case here's Pat forn and consumer alert Pat thanks Nathan and Michelle vehicles used to come with a full-size spare tire but now many cars don't have one because the tire are too heavy and they're trying to make them more efficient by having a smaller Tire sometimes called a doughnut spare but now depending on the car you have it may not have any spare tire at all a flat tire often seems to happen at the worst time L Placencia was driving to a spa appointment when she felt a thud sure enough I had a flat tire if it happens the best advice is Safety First in the event that you do get a flat tire um you should pull off the road uh as far as you can in a safe area next you'll want one of these a space saer spare tire also known as a donut it's replaced the full-size spare in most Passenger cars with any luck you might go years without needing to use one but you shouldn't forget about it Fair Tire expires just like your other four tires to check the age of your spare look at the last two digits of the DOT number on the sidewall that indicates the year the tire was manufactured if it's older than 10 years replace it and a spare tire only works if it's properly inflated check your spar's pressure and condition when you check the pressure of your other tires and fill if needed when Placencia got a flat she also got a surprise unfortunately my car doesn't come with a spare tire now about 60% of new cars don't have a spare tire and an effort from the manufacturers to lower um production cost and reduce weight for fuel economy um they're just leaving the spare tire out so don't ever assume you just have a spare tire instead you may get an air compressor or a can of tire sealant that is supposed to patch a damaged tire and get you to a shop where it can be repaired or replaced some cars mostly luxury models come with run flat tires that allow you to continue driving for about 80 kilometers at modest speeds enough to get you home or to a service center for Replacements you shouldn't be driving around on these tires um or a patch Tire because that's not a permanent fix the other option is to call for a tow truck and have a new tire install inst at an auto shop and if you're not sure if your car has a spare it might be a good time to check and whether you have a spare tire or an inflator kit you should also know how to use it so you'll be prepared if you get a flat tire on your side I'm Pat foren if you have a consumer story idea email us at alert ctv.ca well I'm sure you've heard this a lot it's the weekend get and enjoy it it's the weekend enjoy it but this time around you really need to do this oh my goodness if I had a cottage to go to I would drop all the plans and go there because this is it's actually Cottage weather it is and we have kind of these sweet weekends when we get into that fall season where it's still really warm outside it still feels like summer and it's so hard to not get out and enjoy it but I know obviously we're kind of getting into that time year where the transition takes place this isn't one of those weekends so get outside if you can this weekend probably next weekend and then we will start to see that more traditional fall transition take place but it is going to be in the 20s feeling into the 30s very reminiscent of kind of those early and Midsummer days and as we step through the rest of our evening if you do have plans tonight it will be fantastic as we make our way throughout the day though we did see some fog and that will continue into the day tomorrow but it really burned off quite quickly and it became a really beautiful second half to your day we saw lots of sunshine out there and it's going to continue to stay super nice now temperature-wise it is hot outside still and as we see kind of the the cooler air move in in the early morning hours see all that heat kind of start to move back in we get that transition and that fog kind of starts to happen so we'll have almost an identical morning tomorrow today though very different story we're holding on to the warmth right now 24 feeling like 29 it's still really warm through Windsor through Timmons even up through Panic we're still sitting in the 20s as we head in towards our evening we're sitting at 16 we should be at 12:00 and although we do see a northeasterly wind and a bit of of a cooler wind it won't do much to help kind of alleviate any of that mugginess out there as we head through the overnight likely to see that fog again early in the morning and tomorrow parts of Southern Ontario but as we head into the afternoon it is hot it is sunny it is humid we're looking at humid X values right across the board into that low to mid-30 range as we head throughout the day again we're just looking at a really beautiful kind of typical summer like day we do kick off the fall equinox on the 22nd but we are holding on to the heat right through to then through the rest of our evening the really isn't much happening as far as the forecast radar picture goes and as you step into your day tomorrow think about some protection you you got to stay in that summer mindset because we're still holding on to that summer like weather as we step really into almost the very end of September as we make our way throughout our Saturday as well even if you're heading up to the cottage it is going to be beautiful it's one of those weekends where if you want to just kind of escape the city it's a great one if you want to stay down town there's so much going on still right around the GTA as we head into Sunday more of the same again this r in the jet stream that kind of green line there that's kind of separating that's your kind of viewpoint for separating the cold air to the North and the warm air to the South it overtakes almost the entire Province as we head throughout the weekend and into the beginning of next week we do have again some fog advisories in place not for the GTA but we're kind of anywhere Oakville down towards Niagara so if you are traveling early in the day tomorrow that could kind of impede your vision a little bit at least through the morning hours as we head throughout your Saturday Sunday 2726 we're looking at beautiful temperatures above seasonal we should be around 21 getting through the majority of next week really beautiful as well the chance of maybe a passing shower on Wednesday next week but I'm not mad at it Michelle I'll send things back over to you me neither thank you Jess still to come on CTV News he's an iconic Canadian singer and songwriter still going strong in his 80s that he is now the subject of a new documentary premiering at Tiff we'll hear from Paul Anka after the break [Music] sepsis kills one person every 28 seconds around the world and it can leave survivors with lingering health problems but as Pauline Chan tells us new research at St Mike's is taking a new approach to the condition Dr Claudia dos Santos research is inspired by her work as a critical care physician it's overwhelmingly frustrating when you do everything right and people still die from substance and it costs the Canadian Health Care System $2 billion a year sepsis happens in individuals who have that overwhelming and abnormal response to any infection it can be caused by bacteria fungus or viruses current treatments try to either kill off the microb responsible or support the body's organs starting dialysis starting medications that help the blood pressure stay stay stable but do Santos research takes another approach trying to control the immune system's response we adapted it to actually deliver uh micrornas that we had identified from stem cells that help fight sepsis and not only treat the hyperinflammatory response that you get in sepsis that overwhelming inflammatory response Shannon mckenny has had sepsis three times over the past 13 years and it's left her with debilitating After Effects her Mobility is severely impaired she gets migraines insomia difficulty eating and more a a key point that is lost is you know when you're discharged from the hospital it's like congratulations you survived but what kind of future do I really have but do Santos work gives her hope it's going to save lives like PL plain and simple like early detection um early intervention that is the key to saving lives the drug is currently being tested on animals but the team here at St Mike's hopes to begin human trials possibly as soon as late 2026 Pauline Chan CTV news with flu shots available next month in Ontario a new survey shows only a slim majority of Canadians plan to get one this year Rex all surveyed more than 1,500 Canadians online late last month

successful singers and songwriters of his generation and he also happens to be Canadian now Paul Anka is the focus of a new documentary which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and ctv's Andrea case is live downtown tonight with more Andrea Michelle and Nathan uh Paul Anka is maybe small in stature but he is a legendary in the music business and here's a quick story for you when he when uh Johnny Carson was starting the tonight's show Paul Ana said to Johnny Carson you should have a theme song and I'm going to write it Carson said I don't need a theme song Paul Anka is such a smart businessman he said I'll give you writing credit on it and the rest is history that song is still playing to this day all that to say Paul Anka has lived such a life of course there has to be a documentary the original King of Pop on King Street Paul Anka walked to the red carpet at the Royal Alexandri theater to promote his new biography Anka his way he uh interviewed a lot of people um everything in life is the right team together uh it's about trust uh we had a good meeting he understood stood music and uh we said let's go ahead and John's done a marvelous job from Ottawa to Hollywood his story has been told before but never with Anka's complete involvement director John maio there was a moment in Tokyo I followed Paul to Asia he was on a tour in Asia and there was something about that moment Paul entered the Tokyo Dome from the back of the STA back of the stadium quietly music is ramping up and everybody just reached out and just wanted to touch him this was thousands of people didn't even speak English they were singing along to his music note for note and I realized not only what the audience got from Paul but what Paul gets from the audience I think it has a lot to do with his longevity it just feeds his soul in a way he's a pure Entertainer and that to me that was the moment when I was like I I think I know what this films about producer Randy Lennox I've been friends with Paul for over 20 years because we inducted him into Canada's Walk of Fame so enjoyed a great relationship and have kept in touch the guy's a legend seven decades Ana has written with every one from Michael Jackson to Drake and with his long list of hits including put your head on my shoulders puppy love and I don't like to sleep alone and of course who could forget my way with so much music to mind from it's only a matter of time before his life story heads to Broadway well we've been talking for years about Broadway it's a tough area to deal with I haven't had the time to really focus until recently uh it won't be a jukebox show it's going to be something very legitimate with a good book and I think and probably come to Toronto eventually okay so tonight we're on the red carpet with tan and Sarah Quinn they of course are Canadian musicians and their career is going to be documented in this film and also they've had quite a relationship with social media and

I'm hoping that whoever's watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake I know that I certainly have Timberlake pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired that's less serious than his initial misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated the 43-year-old was arrested in June after police say he was weaving out of his Lane and ignored a stop sign Timberlake was ordered to pay a
