With hate incidents on the rise during the Israeli-Hamas war, B.C.'s Human Rights Commissioner Kasari Govender joins us to discuss what can be done. We continue our series on intimate partner violence with a look at what supports are needed in our family court system. We speak with mother and advocate Jennifer Kagan-Viater about her work on "Keira's Law", a law requiring judges to receive mandatory domestic abuse and coercive control training to consider when making decisions. We also spoke with B.C.'s Attorney General Niki Sharma about the lack of this training in B.C. and how she plans on making changes to the system. Also in the show, CBC reporter Joel Ballard on the end to the actors' strike in Hollywood with his interview with Creative B.C.'s CEO Prem Gill; and CBC's host and reporter Lien Yeung takes us to the scene of a Burnaby bus crash and tells us what the investigation is showing.
