Hey, I'm Sarah Marshall, and there's one story from the past that I've been circling around for years now. This eight-part series traces the hidden history of the satanic panic in North America. We'll connect the dots from Victoria, BC, to the backroads of Kentucky. Satan was having a moment, the sensationalist heartthrob of our time. The Devil You Know, available now wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Kate McGilvery. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency appears to have begun

rounding up hundreds of ostriches on a BC farm. This after the Supreme Court decided it would not hear an appeal by the farm's owners. Last December, an avian flu outbreak prompted the CFIA to order a call of the entire flock of ostriches. Yasmin Chania has the latest. Walk away, because your maker is watching you, Farm supporter Jim Kerr yells through a microphone standing on the side of a highway overlooking the ostrich pens. Crews in hazmat suits could be seen trying to round up the birds

as many tearful supporters look on. Since the Supreme Court decided not to hear the farm's case, there is now no legal impediment to the CFIA killing roughly 300 ostriches. The agency ordered the cull in December after an avian flu outbreak. Virologist Angela Rasmussen says she believes the Supreme Court made the right decision from a scientific perspective. She says even though it's been months since the outbreak, the birds could still be infectious and that testing them is difficult. Ostriches are 7 to 9 feet tall, extremely strong, and they can actually disembowel a person. The CFIA says it has followed all court decisions until this point

and expects the farm owners to do the same. Yasmin Ganea, CBC News, Edgewood, B.C. The Supreme Court of Canada also agreed to hear a case. on Saskatchewan's controversial school pronouns law. The legislation prevents children under 16 from changing their names or pronouns at school without consent from a parent. Alexander Silberman reports.

Premier Scott Moe's government included the notwithstanding clause when passing the legislation, allowing it to override certain charter rights for five years. The province argues parents should be involved in their children's important decisions at school. The LGBT group challenging it says the law causes irreparable harm to gender diverse youth. The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal allowed the challenge to go forward,

saying while the Supreme Court cannot strike down the law, it can declare whether it violates charter rights. Canada's highest court will hear the case alongside a challenge of a Quebec law on religious symbols that also used the notwithstanding clause. Alexander Silberman, CBC News, Regina. The man who pleaded guilty to killing six people in a mass stabbing in Ottawa last year has been sentenced to life in prison. Fabrio de Zoiza pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder,

two counts of second-degree murder, and one charge of attempted murder. Four of his victims were children. The international student from Sri Lanka lived with a family of Sri Lanka newcomers at the time of the murders. And Canadians traveling to the United States, States could be in for some travel headaches starting this weekend. A number of flights at major U.S. airports are set to be cut,

thanks to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. Willie Lowry reports. Air travel in the U.S. is about to get a lot more complicated. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the reduction in flights is about safety. I anticipate there will be additional disruptions. There will be frustration. We are working with the airlines. They're going to work with passengers.

but in the end, our sole role is to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe as possible. The Federal Aviation Administration will reduce flights by 4% on Friday and ramp up to a 10% reduction by next week. Travelers are already worried. As a traveler, it's very inconvenient for me, but if you're not paying people right, I completely understand. If I'm not getting paid right for my services, I wouldn't work either. So I feel like it's a double-edged sword at that point.

The FAA will talk. target the country's 40 busiest airports. Millions of travelers could be affected as the government shutdown drags on. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington.
