Some stories don't knock. They kick the door in. They move fast. Break rules and haunt you. See the stories that don't ask permission. They demand to be seen. This fall on APTN, they're coming for you.

From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. The Supreme Court of Canada has granted a temporary stay to the destruction of about 400 ostriches on a BC farm. The order comes days after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency moved in on the farm with police escort to make preparations for the cull. The CBC's Caroline Bargut is at the ostrich farm

and has this report. Dozens of people gathered at universal ostrich farms in Edgewood in southeast BC, praying for a miracle. Minutes later, their prayers were answered. The Supreme Court of Canada halted an order to execute some 400 ostriches until the court decides if it will hear the case. In December, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered a herd of ostriches to be destroyed as part of its stamping out policy after 69 ostriches died from avian flu last year. The farm has been fighting the call order since then. Katie Pasitney and her family raised the ostriches and have been fighting to save their lives.

There's Q-tip. There's Frank. There's Lulu. There's Barney. There's Lorraine. There's Erica. There's Sergeant Bilko. They all have names. And they are part of our family. We are not for food consumption. The CFIA has until next Friday to file a response. It's not yet clear if the Supreme Court will hear the case. Caroline Bargut. CBC News, Edgewood, BC. The RCMP has charged a bank employee after he allegedly accessed Prime Minister Mark Carney's banking profile as part of a criminal plot. The man worked at an RBC branch in Ottawa and was arrested in July. Rafi Bucci Canyon has more.

We need to have strong procedures in place, obviously, to preserve privacy. Finance Minister Francois-Filippe-Champin reacting with caution to the news. And it applies to all Canadians. As first reported by La Press and The Journal de Morial, the RCMP have arrested a 23-year-old Royal Bank of Canada employee for fraudulently accessing the profile of Prime Minister. Mark Carney. They say Ibrahim El Hakim did it as part of a criminal plot, creating fake bank profiles and obtaining lines of credit for others in exchange for cash. None of the charges have been

proven in court. The bank says it's cooperating with authorities and El Hakim is no longer employed by the RBC. One other account police say he accessed belonged to Justin Trudeau. It's unclear if that's the former prime minister or someone with the same name. Police say Carney's private info where the country's national security have not been put at risk. Rafi Bucci Canyon, CBC News, Ottawa. The Alberta government says it has struck a tentative deal with the union representing 51,000 of its teachers. The agreement is being reached less than two weeks before teachers were set to strike.

No details have been made public yet, and the deal still needs to be ratified by union members. The province's latest offer included a 12% pay boost over four years and the hiring of 3,000, thousand more teachers. The FBI says a deadly shooting outside of an immigration enforcement facility in Dallas, Texas is being investigated as a targeted attack. At least two people are dead and one other is injured. Officials say the suspected shooter died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Joe Rothrock is the special agent in charge of the Dallas field office. Early evidence that we've seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ice in nature.

Rothrock says no ice agents were injured. In recent months, there have been a string of attacks on ice facilities across the U.S. Local officials are denouncing what they call the demonizing of immigration enforcement officers. And for the first time in nearly six decades, a Syrian head of state is at the UN General Assembly. Speaking through a translator, President Ahmad al-Shara called for an end to all sanctions on his country. We call now for the complete lifting of sanctions so that they no longer shackled the Syrian people. The last time Syria was represented at the UN was in 1967, just before the 50-year rule of the Assad family dynasty began.
