THE HEADLINE IS WE DO HAVE A PROPOSED ROUTE NOW AND IT'S HEADING TO THE SOUTH ALONG THAT EXISTING TRANSMOUNTAIN CORRIDOR, NOT TO THE NORTH WHICH HAD LONG BEEN THE PREFERRED ROUTE FOR THE ALBERTA GOVERNMENT. >> Prime Minister Mark Carney: THE BEST

ROUTE FOR A NEW PIPELINE IS ONE THAT ALREADY EXISTS SOUTH THROUGH THE TRANSMOUNTAIN CORRIDOR TO OUR PACIFIC COAST, THE GATEWAY TO THE WORLD'S FASTEST GROWING MARKETS. >> WE'VE DETERMINED THIS ROUTE OFFERS THE FASTEST MOST COST EFFECTIVE PATH TO EXPANDING CANADA'S ENERGY EXPORTS. >> SO ERIN, THIS MOVES FORWARD A PROJECT THAT ALBERTA AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGREED ON LAST YEAR, A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING. >> Reporter: YEAH, AND THAT'S A WAY TO GET THE PIPELINE FROM ALBERTA'S OILSANDS TO THE PACIFIC COAST. THE DEAL SIGNED LAST FALL, BUILD AS A BARGAIN BETWEEN ALBERTA AND OTTAWA. FOR ALBERTA, THE

AGREEMENT CREATED A PATHWAY TO A NEW MILLION-BARREL A DAY PIPELINE AND PROMISED TO SCRAP SEVERAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.

WE'RE HEARING THE FINAL AGREEMENT FOR A LARGE CARBON CAPTURE SYSTEM BUILT BY THE MAJOR OILSANDS PRODUCERS IN

THE OILSANDS WILL ALSO BE COMING CLOSE TO COMPLETION. >> SO WE HAVE A ROUTE AND A LOT OF PIECES FALLING INTO PLACE QUITE QUICKLY. >> Reporter: YEAH. A LOT OF PIECES COMING, A LOT OF THINGS MOVING QUICKLY. OF COURSE, THE NEXT THING IS THAT THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR PROJECT APPROVED BY THE GOVERNMENT. IF THAT IS, WE COULD SEE SHOVELS IN THE GROUND BY 2027 AND OIL MOVING BY 2033. THINGS MOVING QUICKLY. >> THANK YOU.

MORE THAN 30 COMMUNITIES HAVE DECLARED STATES OF EMERGENCY AND THE PROVINCE IS REQUESTING FEDERAL HELP. PREMIER WAB KINEW TOURED THE DAMAGE FROM ABOVE. >> FOLKS IN THE AREA HAVE SEEN FLOODING BEFORE BUT NOT TO THIS EXTENT. >> Reporter: IN DAUPHIN, FLOODING FORCED PEOPLE OUT OF THE HOSPITAL TO OTHER LOCATIONS.

FOR THE MISSING. JORGE BARRERA TAKES US INTO THAT SEARCH AND A RARE MOMENT OF JOY IN THE RUBBLE. >> Reporter: BRUTAL HEARTBREAKING WORK. AMID THE SCENT OF DEATH THESE WORKERS SEARCHING FOR THE BODY OF A FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOY. THERE ARE THINGS BLOCKING US FROM TAKING HIM OUT, SAID THIS MAN, EMERGING. THIS HIGH-RISE, ONE OF SEVERAL THAT COLLAPSED, IN VENEZUELA'S COASTAL LA GUAIDA STATE WHEN POWERFUL TWIN EARTHQUAKES STRUCK JUNE 24. THOSE BURIED HERE ARE NOT ANIMALS, NOT BIRDS. THEY'RE PEOPLE, SAYS THIS WOMAN. SHE'S SEARCHING FOR AN ADULT SON. MOMENTS LATER SHE SAYS SHE FOUND A BODY AND

RACES TO SEE IF IT'S HIM, BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S ANOTHER FAMILY DIGGING OUT THEIR OWN. STILL, SHE HOPES. THE SEARCHING, THE WAITING FOR SOUNDS OF LIFE CONTINUE, AND THERE ARE STILL MIRACLES. THIS 44-YEAR-OLD SECURITY GUARD WAS PULLED OUT ALIVE EIGHT DAYS AFTER THE MALL HE WAS IN COLLAPSED. RESCUERS FROM ALL OVER SPENT 100 HOURS CAREFULLY DIGGING TO SAVE HIS LIFE. BUT THOSE MOMENTS ARE FACING. IN THEIR -- FADING. IN THEIR PLACE ARE HELPING HANDS. THIS DUTCH SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM PITCHES IN TO PULL OUT THE BODIES OF EIGHT-YEAR-OLD AND 13-YEAR-OLD SIBLINGS. FAITH IS THE LAST

THING YOU LOSE HERE, HE SAYS. AS FRUSTRATIONS WITH VENEZUELA'S GOVERNMENT GROWS OVER A PERCEIVED LACK OF RESPONSE. THE PEOPLE NEED TO REBEL SAYS ARMO ARMANDO RUBINA. LOCAL RESIDENTS TELL US THAT THERE ARE STILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE BURIED BENEATH THE RUBBLE LIKE THEY'RE BURIED BENEATH THE REMNANTS OF THIS APARTMENT BUILDING BEHIND ME AND THIS HEAVY MACHINERY YOU SEE, THERE JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH OF THOSE TO GO AROUND. >> JORGE, YOU'VE BEEN THERE JUST OVER TWO DAYS NOW. WHAT STANDS OUT TO YOU? >> Reporter: THE SCALE OF THE DEVASTATION. IT'S LIKE A WAR ZONE. WHOLE

BLOCKED COMPLETELY LEVELS, SURVIVORS SLEEPING IN TENTS AND CAMPS AND IF BUILDINGS SURVIVED, THEY HAVE TO BE TORN DOWN AND WE BUILT. WE WENT BY A STATE OWNED CONCRETE PLANT AND THAT WAS ALSO DESTROYED. >> THANK YOU, JORGE. JORGE BARRERA REPORTING FROM CARACAS TONIGHT. >>> MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN VENEZUELA GOT AN URGENT WARNING BUT ONLY THOSE WITH AN ANDROID SMART PHONE. ASHLEY BURKE EXPLAINS HOW GOOGLE'S TECHNOLOGY WAS ABLE TO DETECT WHAT'S COMING. >> Reporter: SO SOME VENEZUELANS RECEIVED A WARNING MOMENTS BEFORE DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKES HIT THE COUNTRY. BUT THIS WAS ONLY GENERATED WITH GOOGLE'S EARTHQUAKE ALERT SYSTEM.

HOW DID IT DETECT THE QUAKES? ANDROID PHONES HAVE BUILT IN ACCELEROMETRES. S-WAVES OR SECONDARY WAVES PRODUCE THE SHAKING THAT YOU FEEL DURING AN EARTHQUAKE, THE PHONE IS ABLE TO DETECT WHAT COMES FIRST, THE P-WAVES OR PRIMARY WAVES. WE'RE LESS LIKELY TO FEEL THEM BUT AN ANDROID PHONE MIGHT FEEL THEM IF THEY'RE STATIONARY, LIKE ON A TABLE. AROUND NINE SECONDS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE STARTED THE FIRST ALERT WAS SENT OUT TO PHONES IN THESE AREAS. ANOTHER SIX SECONDS LATER THE ALERTS EXPANDED TO PEOPLE IN CARACAS. >> PEOPLE RECEIVED A FEW SECONDS UP TO TWO MINUTES OF WARNING.

IT DEPENDS HOW CLOSURE TO THE EPICENTRE. THE FURTHER OUT THE MORE TIME YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AND THE CLOSER YOU ARE THE LESS TIME. >> Reporter: FOR THOSE FURTHER FROM THE EPICENTRE NOTIFICATIONS WARNED THEM OF HOW FAR AWAY THE EARTHQUAKE WAS. AS IT GOT CLOSER ANOTHER TYPE OF NOTIFICATION TOLD PEOPLE TO DROP, COVER, AND HOLD. >> IT'S REALLY GREAT TO HEAR THAT SOME PEOPLE GOT ALERT. >> Reporter: ROBERT GROOT IS FOUNDER OF SHAKE ALERT IN THE U.S. MONITORS SEND INFORMATION TO BOTH CANADIAN AND U.S. GOVERNMENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND COMPANIES LIKE GOOGLE AND APPLE TO ALERT PEOPLE

IN THESE REGIONS OF EARTHQUAKE ACTIVITY. HE SAYS THERE'S A BENEFIT OF ANDROID DEVICES TO USE THEIR BUILT-IN TECHNOLOGY FOR EARTHQUAKE MOVEMENT ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE VENEZUELA WHERE THERE'S NO DETECTION SYSTEM IN PLACE. >> ANYTHING WE CAN DO BETWEEN THE TIME DETECTING THE EARTHQUAKE AND SLOWING DOWN SYSTEMS LIKE TRAINS, THAT'S AN ADVANTAGE. >> Reporter: PLUS, NOT EVERYONE HAS AN ANDROID DEVICE. SO WHAT ABOUT APPLE? WE REACHED OUT TO APPLE AND THEY POINTED OUT TO THIS SUPPORT PAGE SAYING THAT PEOPLE IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES CAN RECEIVE ADVANCED NOTICE FOR EARTHQUAKES BUT EVEN WITH SOME KIND OF ALERT THESE

SYSTEMS CANNOT PREDICT EARTHQUAKES BEFORE THEY HAPPEN. HAROLD TOBIN IS A SEISMOLOGIST. >> IT'S NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR OUR CONSTRUCTION PRACTISES AFTER EARTHQUAKES, IT'S JUST ONE MORE TOOL TO COME OUT OF THEM UNINJURED. >> MEDIATORS IN PAKISTAN AND QATAR SAY MEANINGFUL PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE BETWEEN THE U.S. AND TEHRAN BUT TEHRAN WILL PAUSE TALKS WHILE IT HOLDS FUNERAL SERVICES FOR ITS SLAIN AYATOLLAH. FINAL PREPARATIONS ARE UNDERWAY FOR THE FUNERAL OF FORMER SUPREME LEADER ALI KHAMENEI. HE WAS KILLED ON THE FIRST DAY OF ISRAELI AIR STRIKES BACK IN FEBRUARY. FUNERAL SERVICES WILL BEGIN ON SATURDAY AND CONCLUDE

WITH HIS BURIAL FIVE DAYS LATER. >>> AFTEONE OF THE LARGEST ATT IN KYIV AS RUSSIA POUNDED THE CITY FOR 11 STRAIGHT HOURS. AS BRIAR STEWART EXPLAINS THE ATTACK WAS PAYBACK FOR RUSSIA'S HEAVY LOSSES. >> Reporter: STRETCHER AFTER STRETCHER IS CARRIED OUT OF BUILDINGS IN KYIV. MORE THAN 20 WERE KILLED AND DOZENS WOUNDED AFTER ANOTHER NIGHT OF TERROR. HUNDREDS OF DRONES AND DOZENS OF MISSILES TARGETED THE CAPITAL. ONE SLAMS INTO THIS NINE-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING, CRUSHING SEVERAL FLOORS AND DAMAGING EVERYTHING AROUND IT. >> I MY MOM WAS -- MY MOM WAS IN THIS BEDROOM WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED.

>> Reporter: THIS WOMAN WASN'T HURT BUT SHE'LL HAVE TO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO STAY FOR NOW. >> I THINK THIS MUST BE ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY. IT'S TERRIBLE FOR ALL. >> Reporter: EARLIER TENS OF THOUSANDS SOUGHT SHELTER IN METRO STATIONS. UKRAINE HAD WARNED AHEAD OF TIME THAT THERE WOULD LIKELY BE A DEVASTATING ATTACK. VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY CUT SHORT A TRIP TO IRELAND TO RETURN TO THE CAPITAL WHERE HE PLEADED AGAIN FOR MORE AIR DEFENCE SYSTEMS. >> YOU SEE WHAT MEANS WHEN THE PACKAGES HIT MOSCOW. >> MOSCOW SAID THEIR STRIKES ONLY HIT MILITARY TARGETS. "RUSSIA WILL CONTINUE TO

INTENSIFY PRESSURE," THE KREMLIN VOWED, BUT THE RUSSIAN COUNTRY IS UNDER STRAIN. ITS REFINERIES HAVE BEEN UNDER ATTACK FOR WEEKS LEADING TO A NATIONAL WIDE GASOLINE SHORTAGE. MANY BELIEVE THE ATTACK ON THURSDAY NIGHT WAS RETRIBUTION. >> IT MEANS THAT WE'RE HITTING A WEAK SPOT AND WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING. >> Reporter: EVEN THOUGH THE COUNTRY KEEPS SUFFERING UNDER THE STRESS OF A RELENTLESS WAR. BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS, LONDON. >> THE WORLD CUP'S TIME IN TORONTO IS COMING TO AN END BUT NOT BEFORE A MARQUIS MATCH. >> I GREW UP WATCHING RONALDO, MODRIC, SO FOR

Come on in. So we are just on a quick break, a commercial break for The National, so figured we might as well show you around. Welcome to The National studio. And this is the bestest of the gang's here. This

is Joe, Dino, Dave. Oh, that's Steve, the director. And Dave is hiding down here. Joe is the keeper of the jib. The jib is our favourite camera here. We do have other cameras, though. They are robo cams. They've all been named. You see them as camera two. I know them by another name. We have some other toys in here. This one is this is our smartboard. We use this a lot for elections because, you know, you can interact with the board. Here's a sample question. How likely are you to vote in the presidential election? The

best thing about this studio is that we can change the look of the lighting. So it can be all red, it can be blue, it can be red and blue for, say, an American election, red and white for a Canadian election. There's lots we can do. We've got these beautiful, beautiful monitors here which are fantastic for photography. And we have some [chuckles] some quirky versatility. So when we have a lot of people in studio on panels, We can flip this up, there are legs here, so we can sit, seat a whole bunch of people around

this desk. And then if you come around here, because fundamentally I am extremely short, there's like a little platform so that I can sit here with eventually my computer and the scripts and have view of all the cameras and the monitors and the lights, and we'll do the show. Speaking of which, got to go do it. Talk to you later. ♪ ♪ LYN . >> Lyndsay: A STEADY STREAM OF ACTION TODAY ON THE LOADING DOCKS OF NEW YORK'S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

THE CHIP WON'T STOP THE DISEASE BUT IT HAS INFUSED HIS BRUTAL REALITY WITH HOPE AND PURPOSE. >> GETTING A TERMINAL DIAGNOSIS YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND THIS IS GOING TO MAYBE IMPROVE MY TIME THAT I HAVE LEFT AND IT WILL ALLOW ME TO BE KIND OF A TRAIL BLAZER FOR ANYONE ELSE GOING THROUGH

THE SYMPTOMS BEGAN THREE YEARS AGO AND KEEP GETTING WORSE. >> MY HANDS, LIKE, ESPECIALLY MY LEFT-HAND, MY RIGHT HAND IS OKAY BUT MY MOAT SKILLTOR SKIL ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. >> Lyndsay: A.L.S. KILLS NEURONS IN THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD. THERE IS NO CURE. YOU GOT YOUR DIAGNOSIS THREE YEARS AGO. WHAT WAS IT LIKE? >> HONESTLY, I'D BEEN GETTING WORSE FOR SO LONG, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE --

START-UP BY ELON MUSK. CABLES THINNER THAN A HUMAN HAIR ARE IMPLANTED IN THE BRAIN. WHEN THEY'RE CONNECTED TO BLUETOOTH, YEP, THE SAME BLUETOOTH YOU CONNECT TO FOR A WIRELESS SPEAKER, ALLOWS SOMEONE TO CONTROL A CURSOR WITH THEIR THOUGHTS. >> I'M TALKING TO YOU WITH MY MIND. >> Lyndsay: AND EVEN HAVE THE BRAIN CONTROL ROBOTIC LIMBS, LIKE THIS. CLINICAL TRIALS FOR PATIENTS WITH A.L.S.

THIS TECHNOLOGY. THE IDEA IS TO DO THIS GROU GROUNDWORK TO SEE WHETHER THIS IS INDEED SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. >> Lyndsay: LAST SUMMER THE HOSPITAL SAYS IT SUCCESSFULLY IMPLANTED THE CHIP INTO TWO CANADIAN PATIENTS WITH SPINAL INJURIES. MARTIN QUALIFIED OVER ZOOM TO RECEIVE A NEUROLINK IMPLANT, JUST THE 26 PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HAVE THE PROCEDURE. DR. LOZANO WILL MAKE THE INCISION BUT THEN IT'S UP TO THIS ROBOT TO IMPLANT THE DEVICE. >> THE ROBOT IS MUCH MORE ACCURATE AND PRECISE THAN A HUMAN NEUROSURGEON COULD DO SO WE RELY VERY MUCH ON THE ROBOT TO HELP

US WITH THIS TASK OF IMPLANTING 1,000 ELECTRODES IN THE HUMAN BRAIN. >> Lyndsay: DID YOU EVER THINK, NO, THAT'S TOO WEIRD? I DON'T WANT ROBOTS ROOTING AROUND IN MY SKULL? >> NO, I DIDN'T. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS OF HELPING PEOPLE. I THINK THIS IS JUST ONE MORE WAY I CAN HELP. >> Lyndsay: ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST HOPES FOR THE IMPLANT IS THAT LEE WILL BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE ONCE HIS VOICE IS GONE. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO HIS 11-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, KARYS. >> IT'S EXCITING AND I'M HAPPY THAT I GETS TO TALK TO ME MORE LONGER,

A LITTLE SCARY. >> Lyndsay: IN THE HOSPITAL THE MARTIN'S LEARN LEE'S SURGERY WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER 25 PATIENTS WITH NEUROLINK IMPLANTS. IN THOSE SURGERIES, HUMAN SURGEONS PEELED BACK THE PATIENT'S DURA. THAT'S A PROTECTIVE LAYER AROUND THE BRAIN, BEFORE THE ROBOT INSERTED THE ELECTRODES. THE PLAN FOR LEE'S SURGERY IS TO KEEP THE DURA INTACT. THE ROBOT WILL WORK THROUGH THE PROTECTIVE TISSUE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. >> THAT REPRESENTS A TREMENDOUS ADVANCE IN TECHNOLOGY. WE THINK THAT THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SCALING THE OPERATION, TO MAKE THE OPERATION SIMPLER, LESS INVASIVE, SAFER, WHICH

MEANS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS OPERATION TO HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BENEFIT. >> Lyndsay: LISA IS NERVOUS BUT NOT LEE. >> HONESTLY, I'M, LIKE, "LET'S GET HER DONE." >> Lyndsay: SURGERY TOOK SIX HOURS AND WENT AT PLANNED. MARTIN WOKE UP WITH 26 STAPLES IN HIS HEAD AND A HEADACHE. SURGEONS CAME IN IMMEDIATELY TO TRY THE DEVICE. >> I THINK IT WAS AN HOUR AFTER SURGERY I WAS CONTROLLING THE CURSOR AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS THE FIRST OUT OF ALL THE PARTICIPANTS TO DO THAT SO SOON. >> Lyndsay: AT ANY

POINT DURING THE PROCEDURE WERE YOU SCARED? >> NO, NO. HONESTLY, I, LIKE, WITHOUT HESITATION, NO. A.L.S. IS ALREADY A KICK IN THE TEETH. HOW CAN YOUR LIFE GET MUCH WORSE AT THIS POINT? HONESTLY, IT WAS, LIKE, THIS IS SO COOL. >> Lyndsay: STILL HEALING, MARTIN ENJOYS TORONTO, A JAYS GAME, THE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME. ON A WHIM, HE GOT THIS TATTOO, "PATIENT 26." THE CLINICAL TRIAL HAS CRITICS. DOCTORS HAVE OBJECTED TO PARTNERING WITH A COMPANY OWNED BY ELON MUSK AND NEUROLINK HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR NOT BE OPEN. CRITICS SAY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION READS MORE LIKE

PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL THAN A DETAILED ANALYSIS. >> IT HAS GONE THROUGH A SERIES OF ETHICAL SCREENS AND HAS PASSED ALL OF THEM. >> WHAT'S READ -- WHO'S READY TO GET STARTED? >> Lyndsay: JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE SURGERY LEE WAS THE OFFICIAL HONOUREE AT THIS A.L.S. WALK. >> I WOULDN'T WISH THIS ON MY WORST ENEMY. IT'S TERRIBLE BUT WITH ALL OF YOU I HOPE WE CAN FIND A CURE. HERE, COME HERE. COME SIT ON MY KNEE. >> Lyndsay: FOR NOW, HE CAN STILL ASK HIS DAUGHTER TO HOP ON FOR A RIDE. STILL LAUGH, STILL

SHARE STORIES, MAKE PLANS, AND WHEN THAT GOES AWAY, HE HOPES SCIENCE WILL HELP HIM ENJOY THESE PEOPLE, THIS LIFE JUST A LITTLE LONGER. SINCE RETURNING TO VANCOUVER MARTIN HAS HOMEWORK THAT CONSISTS OF DOING EXERCISES EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS SO THE NEUROLINK ENGINEERS CAN MONITOR HOW THE DEVICE IS WORKING.

PALESTINIANS HOPED THE CEASEFIRE WOULD PERMANENTLY HALT THE FIGHTING AND END THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS. INSTEAD THINGS HAVE BARELY IMPROVED. >> IT'S HARD TO SAY THAT THE CEASEFIRE DEAL HAS

PEOPLE CHASE UNPREDICTABLE WATER TANKERS. >> (Voice of Interpreter): EVERY TIME WE SEE A WATER TANKER WE RUN TO FILL UP.

AT THE START OF THE CEASEFIRE ISRAEL'S MILITARY CONTROLLED MORE THAN 60% OF GAZA, SQUEEZING MILLIONS OF PALESTINIANS INTO A TINY SLICE OF LAND.

A Montreal landmark has a new lease on life. The Biosphere started out as the famous American pavilion at Expo 67. Now, after 20 years as an empty shell, It's opening up again as a green museum. The CBC' s Mark Kelley has the story. Mark: The man who designed the Dome, American conservationist and architect Buckminster

Fuller, called it his vision of the future, a way of doing more with less. He said it was his Taj Mahal, and for one magic summer, it was. ♪ [playful] For many, the Dome was the symbol of Expo 67. It was one of the most popular attractions, the jewel in the crown of the World's Fair. [sirens wail] [helicopter rumbles] But in 1976, the pavilion's acrylic membrane caught fire, turning Fuller's cherished design into a charred, empty shell. Now there's new life inside the biosphere, it's a multimedia museum built to promote the protection of the Saint Lawrence

River. The river is recreated on giant scale models. On computer programs. ♪ ♪ And 360-degree movie screens. The rebirth of the biosphere cost 17.5-million dollars, paid for by the federal government. But despite the glitz and the high tech toys, some people aren't impressed. Environmentalists say instead of just talking about the river, the government should have spent the money cleaning it up. What are these people thinking about? Mark: This environmentalist says the river should be pumped through the biosphere so analysts could test the quality of the water and make the river itself part of the attraction.

-We have spent 17.5-million dollars of taxpayers money to create a museum next to the river... that almost keeps people away from the river... flowing past it. That's heresy. That's ridiculous. Mark: People can decide for themselves when the Dome opens to the public tomorrow. But 28 summers later, Fuller's Taj Mahal is back, and for many people here, that's good enough.

THESE ARE LESS MOVING AND WE'RE LESS LIKELY TO FEEL THEM BUT AN ANDROID PHONE MIGHT FEEL THEM IF THEY'RE STATIONARY, LIKE ON A TABLE.

ALL THESE PHONES DETECTED SEISMIC ACTIVITY WITHIN THE FIRST THREE SECONDS OF THE EARTHQUAKE STARTING UNDERGROUND.

NATIONAL DETECTION SYSTEM IN PLACE. >> ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE THE TIME BETWEEN DETECTING THE EARTHQUAKE AND SLOWING DOWN SYSTEMS PROTECTING PEOPLE TO TAKE THOSE ACTIONS, THAT'S AN ADVANTAGE. >> Reporter: PLUS, NOT EVERYONE HAS AN ANDROID DEVICE.

a Canadian election. There's lots we can do. We've got these beautiful, beautiful monitors here which are fantastic for photography. And we have some [chuckles] some quirky versatility.

FACEBOOK. >> I SIGNED HIM UP, YEAH. >> Lyndsay: NO DOUBTS. >> I SIGNED HIM UP. >> LINDSAY: WHY? >> THAT WAS OUR LAST OPTION. >> Lyndsay: NEUROLINK WAS A START-UP BY ELON MUSK. BLUR -- BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES OF HUMAN AND MACHINE. MORE THAN 1,000 CABLES THINNER THAN A HUMAN HAIR ARE IMPLANTED IN THE BRAIN. WHEN THEY'RE CONNECTED TO BLUETOOTH, YEP, THE SAME BLUETOOTH YOU CONNECT TO FOR A WIRELESS SPEAKER, ALLOWS SOMEONE TO CONTROL A CURSOR WITH THEIR THOUGHTS. >> WE'RE STARTING OFF REDUCING HUMAN SUFFERING. >> I'M TALKING TO YOU WITH MY MIND. >> Lyndsay: AND

EVEN HAVE THE BRAIN CONTROL ROBOTIC LIMBS, LIKE THIS. CLINICAL TRIALS FOR PATIENTS WITH A.L.S. AND SPINAL INJURIES ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, INCLUDING AT U.H.N.S TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL WITH DR. ANDREAS LOZANO. >> WE'RE DEALING WITH THE FIRST FEW PATIENTS IN THE WORLD THAT HAVE HAD THIS TECHNIQUE AND HAVE HAD BENEFIT OF THIS TECHNOLOGY. THE IDEA IS TO DO THIS GROUNDWORK TO SEE WHETHER THIS IS INDEED SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. >> Lyndsay: LAST SUMMER THE HOSPITAL SAYS IT SUCCESSFULLY IMPLANTED THE CHIP INTO TWO CANADIAN PATIENTS WITH SPINAL INJURIES. MARTIN QUALIFIED OVER ZOOM TO RECEIVE A NEUROLINK IMPLANT, JUST

THE 26 PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HAVE THE PROCEDURE. DR. LOZANO WILL MAKE THE INCISION BUT THEN IT'S UP TO THIS TWO-METER TALL ROBOT TO IMPLANT THE DEVICE. >> IT'S CRUCIAL BECAUSE THE ROBOT IS MUCH MORE ACCURATE AND PRECISE THAN A HUMAN NEUROSURGEON COULD DO SO WE RELY VERY MUCH ON THE ROBOT TO HELP US WITH THIS TASK OF IMPLANTING 1,000 ELECTRODES IN THE HUMAN BRAIN. >> Lyndsay: DID YOU EVER THINK, NO, THAT'S TOO WEIRD? I DON'T WANT ROBOTS TO BE FOOLING AROUND IN MY SKULL? >> NO, I DIDN'T. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS

OF HELPING PEOPLE. I THINK THIS IS JUST ONE MORE WAY I CAN HELP. >> Lyndsay: ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST HOPES FOR THE IMPLANT IS THAT LEE WILL BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE ONCE HIS VOICE IS GONE. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO HIS 11-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, KARYS. >> IT'S EXCITING AND I'M HAPPY THAT HE GETS TO TALK TO ME MORE LONGER, LIKE, WITH THAT. >> Lyndsay: LISA SAYS THAT COULD MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS INCLUDING CONSIDERATIONS OF A MEDICALLY ASSISTED DEATH LESS TOUGH. >> IT'LL TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF THINGS. WE CAN GET HIS TRUE FEELINGS ON WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

>> Lyndsay: SURGERY DAY STARTS EARLY. THE JOURNEY FROM VANCOUVER TO TORONTO WAS LONG, NAVIGATING CABS AND TRANSIT TOUGH, AND DOCTORS SAY THERE'S A NEW PLAN. >> THEY DIDN'T TELL US UNTIL JUST BEFORE HE WENT IN THAT HE'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HAVE THE NEW PROCEDURE DONE AND THAT'S WHERE IT GOT A LITTLE SCARY. >> Lyndsay: IN THE HOSPITAL THE MARTINS LEARN LEE'S SURGERY WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER 25 PATIENTS WITH NEUROLINK IMPLANTS. IN THOSE SURGERIES, HUMAN SURGEONS PEELED BACK THE PATIENT'S DURA. THAT'S A PROTECTIVE LAYER AROUND THE BRAIN,

BEFORE THE ROBOT INSERTED THE ELECTRODES. THE PLAN FOR LEE'S SURGERY IS TO KEEP THE DURA INTACT. THE ROBOT WILL WORK THROUGH THE PROTECTIVE TISSUE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. >> THAT REPRESENTS A TREMENDOUS ADVANCE IN TECHNOLOGY. WE THINK THAT THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SCALING THE OPERATION, TO MAKE THE OPERATION SIMPLER, LESS INVASIVE, SAFER, WHICH MEANS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS OPERATION TO HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BENEFIT. >> Lyndsay: LISA IS NERVOUS BUT NOT LEE. >> HONESTLY, I'M, LIKE, "LET'S GET HER DONE." >> Lyndsay: SURGERY TOOK SIX HOURS AND

WENT AT PLANNED. MARTIN WOKE UP WITH 26 STAPLES IN HIS HEAD AND A HEADACHE. ENGINEERS FROM NEUROLINK CAME IN RIGHT AWAY TO TRY THE DEVICE. >> I THINK IT WAS AN HOUR AFTER SURGERY I WAS CONTROLLING THE CURSOR AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS THE FIRST OUT OF ALL THE PARTICIPANTS TO DO THAT SO SOON. >> Lyndsay: AT ANY POINT DURING THE PROCEDURE WERE YOU SCARED? >> NO, NO. HONESTLY, I, LIKE, WITHOUT HESITATION, NO. A.L.S. IS ALREADY A KICK IN THE TEETH. HOW CAN YOUR LIFE GET MUCH WORSE AT THIS POINT? HONESTLY, IT WAS, LIKE,

THIS IS SO COOL. >> Lyndsay: STILL HEALING, MARTIN ENJOYS TORONTO, A JAYS GAME, THE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME. ON A WHIM, HE GOT THIS TATTOO, "PATIENT 26." THE CLINICAL TRIAL HAS CRITICS. DOCTORS HAVE OBJECTED TO DOCTORS HAVE OBJECTED TO A CANADIAN HOSPITAL PARTNERING WITH A COMPANY OWNED BY ELON MUSK AND NEUROLINK HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR NOT BE OPEN. CRITICS SAY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION READS MORE LIKE MARKETING MATERIAL THAN A DETAILED SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS. TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL HAZ HAZE -- SAYS IT'S MORE ABOUT SCIENCE. >> IT HAS GONE THROUGH A SERIES OF ETHICAL SCREENS AND HAS PASSED

ALL OF THEM. >> WHAT'S READ -- WHO'S READY TO GET STARTED? >> Lyndsay: JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE SURGERY LEE WAS THE OFFICIAL HONOUREE AT THIS A.L.S. FUNDRAISING WALK. >> I WOULDN'T WISH THIS ON MY WORST ENEMY. IT'S TERRIBLE BUT WITH ALL OF YOU I HOPE WE CAN FIND A CURE. HERE, COME HERE. COME SIT ON MY KNEE. >> Lyndsay: FOR NOW, HE CAN STILL ASK HIS DAUGHTER TO HOP ON FOR A RIDE. STILL LAUGH, STILL SHARE STORIES, MAKE PLANS, AND WHEN THAT GOES AWAY, HE HOPES SCIENCE WILL HELP HIM ENJOY THESE PEOPLE,

Biosphere started out as the famous American pavilion at Expo 67. Now, after 20 years as an empty shell, it's opening up again as a green museum. The CBC' s Mark Kelley has the story. Mark: The man who designed the Dome, American conservationist and architect Buckminster Fuller, called it his vision of the future, a way of doing more with less. He said it was his Taj Mahal, and for one magic summer, it was. ♪ [playful] For many, the Dome was the symbol of Expo 67. It was one of the most popular attractions, the jewel in the

crown of the World's Fair. [sirens wail] [helicopter rumbles] But in 1976, the pavilion's acrylic membrane caught fire, turning Fuller's cherished design into a charred, empty shell. Now there's new life inside the biosphere, it's a multimedia museum built to promote the protection of the Saint Lawrence River. The river is recreated on giant scale models. On computer programs. ♪ ♪ And 360-degree movie screens. The rebirth of the biosphere cost 17.5-million dollars, paid for by the federal government. But despite the glitz and the high tech toys, some people aren't impressed. Environmentalists say instead of just talking about the

river, the government should have spent the money cleaning it up. What are these people thinking about? Mark: This environmentalist says the river should be pumped through the biosphere so analysts could test the quality of the water and make the river itself part of the attraction. -We have spent 17.5-million dollars of taxpayers money to create a museum next to the river... that almost keeps people away from the river... flowing past it. That's heresy. That's ridiculous. Mark: People can decide for themselves when the Dome opens to the public tomorrow. But 28 summers later, Fuller's Taj Mahal is

back, and for many people here, that's good enough.

studio. And this is the bestest of the gang's here. This is Joe, Dino, Dave. Oh, that's Steve, the director. And Dave is hiding down here. Joe is the keeper of the jib. The jib is our favourite camera here. We do have other cameras, though. They are robo cams. They've all been named. You see them as camera two. I know them by another name. We have some other toys in here. This one is this is our smartboard. We use this a lot for elections because, you know, you can interact with the board. Here's a sample question.

How likely are you to vote in the presidential election? The best thing about this studio is that we can change the look of the lighting. So it can be all red, it can be blue, it can be red and blue for, say, an American election, Red and white for a Canadian election. There's lots we can do. We've got these beautiful, beautiful monitors here which are fantastic for photography. And we have some [chuckles] some quirky versatility. So when we have a lot of people in studio on panels, we can flip this up, there are legs here,

so we can sit, seat a whole bunch of people around this desk. And then if you come around here, because fundamentally I am extremely short, There's like a little platform so that I can sit here with eventually my computer and the scripts and have view of all the cameras and the monitors and the lights, and we'll do the show.

Now, after 20 years as an empty shell, it's opening up again as a green museum. The CBC' s Mark Kelley has the story. Mark: The man who designed the Dome, American conservationist and architect Buckminster Fuller, called it his vision of the future, a way of doing more with less. He said it was his Taj Mahal, and for one magic summer, it was. ♪ [playful] For many, the

Dome was the symbol of Expo 67. It was one of the most popular attractions, the jewel in the crown of the World's Fair. [sirens wail] [helicopter rumbles] But in 1976, the pavilion's acrylic membrane caught fire, turning Fuller's cherished design into a charred, empty shell. Now there's new life inside the biosphere, it's a multimedia museum built to promote the protection of the Saint Lawrence River. The river is recreated on giant scale models. On computer programs. ♪ ♪ And 360-degree movie screens. The rebirth of the biosphere cost 17.5-million dollars, paid for by the federal government. But despite

the glitz and the high tech toys, some people aren't impressed. Environmentalists say instead of just talking about the river, the government should have spent the money cleaning it up. What are these people thinking about? Mark: This environmentalist says the river should be pumped through the biosphere so analysts could test the quality of the water and make the river itself part of the attraction. -We have spent 17.5-million dollars of taxpayers money to create a museum next to the river... that almost keeps people away from the river... flowing past it. That's heresy. That's ridiculous. Mark: People can

decide for themselves when the Dome opens to the public tomorrow. But 28 summers later, Fuller's Taj Mahal is back, and for many people here, that's good enough.

BUT THIS WAS NOT A NATIONAL ALERT. THIS WAS ONLY GENERATED WITH GOOGLE'S EARTHQUAKE ALERT SYSTEM. HOW DID IT DETECT THE QUAKES? ANDROID PHONES HAVE BUILT IN ACCELEROMETRES. THAT'S THE THING THAT DETECTS MOVEMENT WHEN YOU ROTATE YOUR SCREEN AND IT CAN DETECT TWO TYPES OF WAVES. S-WAVES OR SECONDARY WAVES PRODUCE THE SHAKING THAT YOU FEEL DURING

AN EARTHQUAKE, THE PHONE IS ABLE TO DETECT WHAT COMES FIRST, THE P-WAVES OR PRIMARY WAVES. THESE ARE MILDER, FAST MOVING, AND WE'RE LESS LIKELY TO FEEL THEM BUT AN ANDROID PHONE MIGHT FEEL THEM IF THEY'RE STATIONARY, LIKE ON A TABLE. THE PRINCIPAL ENGINEER FOR GOOGLE'S EARTHQUAKE TEAM SAYS THE SYSTEM DETECTED MOVEMENT JUST FOUR SECONDS INTO THE SHAKING OF THE GROUND.

HE SAYS THERE'S A BENEFIT OF ANDROID DEVICES TO USE THEIR BUILT-IN TECHNOLOGY TO DETECT EARTHQUAKE MOVEMENT ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE VENEZUELA WHERE THERE'S NO NATIONAL DETECTION SYSTEM IN PLACE. >> ANYTHING WE CAN DO BETWEEN THE TIME DETECTING THE EARTHQUAKE AND HELPING PEOPLE, SLOWING DOWN SYSTEMS LIKE TRAINS, THAT'S AN ADVANTAGE. >> Reporter: PLUS, NOT EVERYONE HAS AN ANDROID DEVICE.

use this a lot for elections because, you know, you can interact with the board. Here's a sample question. How likely are you to vote in the presidential election? The best thing about this studio is that we can change the look of the lighting. So it can be all red, it can be blue, It can be red and blue for, say, an American election, red and white for a Canadian election. There's lots we can do. We've got these beautiful, beautiful monitors here which are fantastic for photography. And we have some [chuckles] some quirky versatility. So when

we have a lot of people in studio on panels, we can flip this up, there are legs here, so we can sit, seat a whole bunch of people around this desk. And then if you come around here, Because fundamentally I am extremely short, there's like a little platform so that I can sit here with eventually my computer and the scripts and have view of all the cameras and the monitors and the lights, and we'll do the show.

HONESTLY, IT WAS, LIKE, THIS IS SO COOL. >> Lyndsay: STILL HEALING, MARTIN ENJOYS TORONTO, A JAYS GAME, THE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME. ON A WHIM, HE GOT THIS TATTOO, "PATIENT 26." THE CLINICAL

TRIAL HAS CRITICS. DOCTORS HAVE OBJECTED TO DOCTORS HAVE OBJECTED TO A CANADIAN HOSPITAL PARTNERING WITH A COMPANY OWNED BY ELON MUSK AND NEUROLINK HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR NOT BE OPEN.

CIRCLED AROUND AND JUST STARTED DOING DIFFERENT CHANTS AND JUST JUMPING AND JUST CELEBRATING. >> Lyndsay: HOW TWO CELEBRATIONS MERGED INTO ONE, NEXT, IN OUR "MOMENT." ♪ ♪ A Montreal landmark has a new lease on life. The Biosphere started out as the famous American pavilion at Expo 67. Now, after 20 years as an empty shell, it's opening up again as a green museum. The CBC' s Mark Kelley has the story. Mark: The man who designed the Dome, American conservationist and architect Buckminster Fuller, called it his vision of the future, a way of doing more with less.

He said it was his Taj Mahal, and for one magic summer, it was. ♪ [playful] For many, the Dome was the symbol of Expo 67. It was one of the most popular attractions, the jewel in the crown of the World's Fair. [sirens wail] [helicopter rumbles] But in 1976, the pavilion's acrylic membrane caught fire, turning Fuller's cherished design into a charred, empty shell. Now there's new life inside the biosphere, it's a multimedia museum built to promote the protection of the Saint Lawrence River. The river is recreated on giant scale models. On computer programs. ♪ ♪ And

360-degree movie screens. The rebirth of the biosphere cost 17.5-million dollars, paid for by the federal government. But despite the glitz and the high tech toys, some people aren't impressed. Environmentalists say instead of just talking about the river, the government should have spent the money cleaning it up. What are these people thinking about? Mark: This environmentalist says the river should be pumped through the biosphere so analysts could test the quality of the water and make the river itself part of the attraction. -We have spent 17.5-million dollars of taxpayers money to create a museum next to the

river... that almost keeps people away from the river... flowing past it. That's heresy. That's ridiculous. Mark: People can decide for themselves when the Dome opens to the public tomorrow. But 28 summers later, Fuller's Taj Mahal is back, and for many people here, that's good enough. Mark Kelley, CBC News, Montreal. ♪ ♪ [♪♪] >> Lyndsay: YOU'RE LOOKING AT NEWLYWEDS ASHTON AND ZACK SMITH JUST MOMENTS AFTER THEIR CEREMONY IN PHILADELPHIA.

we can do. We've got these beautiful, beautiful monitors here which are fantastic for photography. And we have some [chuckles] some quirky versatility.

KILLS NEURONS IN THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD. THERE IS NO CURE. YOU GOT YOUR DIAGNOSIS THREE YEARS AGO. WHAT WAS

IT LIKE? >> HONESTLY, I'D BEEN GETTING WORSE FOR SO LONG, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE -I'M SORRY. >> Lyndsay: EVENTUALLY HE WON'T BE ABLE TO SPEAK, EAT, OR BREATHE. >> I'VE JUST GOT TO CATCH MY BREATH. >> Lyndsay: BUT THIS IS A MAN, A FAMILY DETERMINED TO FIND SILVER LININGS, EVEN LAUGHTER. >> I KNEW I WAS GOING TO CRY. LIKE, I BET I'M GOING TO [BLEEP] CRY. [LAUGHTER]. >> I'M GOING TO BE ON THE NATIONAL NEWS CRYING. [LAUGHTER]. >> Lyndsay: IT WAS LISA WHO HEARD ABOUT NEUROLINK THROUGH AN AD ON FACEBOOK. >> I SIGNED HIM UP,

YEAH. >> Lyndsay: NO DOUBTS. >> I SIGNED HIM UP. >> LINDSAY: WHY? >> THAT WAS OUR LAST OPTION. >> Lyndsay: NEUROLINK WAS A START-UP BY ELON MUSK. BLUR -- BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES OF HUMAN AND MACHINE. MORE THAN 1,000 CABLES THINNER THAN A HUMAN HAIR ARE IMPLANTED IN THE BRAIN. WHEN THEY'RE CONNECTED TO BLUETOOTH, YEP, THE SAME BLUETOOTH YOU CONNECT TO FOR A WIRELESS SPEAKER, ALLOWS SOMEONE TO CONTROL A CURSOR WITH THEIR THOUGHTS. >> WE'RE STARTING OFF REDUCING HUMAN SUFFERING. >> I'M TALKING TO YOU WITH MY MIND. >> Lyndsay: AND EVEN HAVE THE BRAIN CONTROL ROBOTIC

LIMBS, LIKE THIS. CLINICAL TRIALS FOR PATIENTS WITH A.L.S. AND SPINAL INJURIES ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, INCLUDING AT U.H.N.S TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL WITH DR. ANDREAS LOZANO. >> WE'RE DEALING WITH THE FIRST FEW PATIENTS IN THE WORLD THAT HAVE HAD THIS TECHNIQUE AND HAVE HAD BENEFIT OF THIS TECHNOLOGY. THE IDEA IS TO DO THIS GROUNDWORK TO SEE WHETHER THIS IS INDEED SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. >> Lyndsay: LAST SUMMER THE HOSPITAL SAYS IT SUCCESSFULLY IMPLANTED THE CHIP INTO TWO CANADIAN PATIENTS WITH SPINAL INJURIES. MARTIN QUALIFIED OVER ZOOM TO RECEIVE A NEUROLINK IMPLANT, JUST THE 26 PERSON IN THE WORLD

TO HAVE THE PROCEDURE. DR. LOZANO WILL MAKE THE INCISION BUT THEN IT'S UP TO THIS TWO-METER TALL ROBOT TO IMPLANT THE DEVICE. >> IT'S CRUCIAL BECAUSE THE ROBOT IS MUCH MORE ACCURATE AND PRECISE THAN A HUMAN NEUROSURGEON COULD DO SO WE RELY VERY MUCH ON THE ROBOT TO HELP US WITH THIS TASK OF IMPLANTING 1,000 ELECTRODES IN THE HUMAN BRAIN. >> Lyndsay: DID YOU EVER THINK, NO, THAT'S TOO WEIRD? I DON'T WANT ROBOTS TO BE FOOLING AROUND IN MY SKULL? >> NO, I DIDN'T. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS OF HELPING PEOPLE. I THINK THIS

IS JUST ONE MORE WAY I CAN HELP. >> Lyndsay: ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST HOPES FOR THE IMPLANT IS THAT LEE WILL BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE ONCE HIS VOICE IS GONE. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO HIS 11-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, KARYS. >> IT'S EXCITING AND I'M HAPPY THAT HE GETS TO TALK TO ME MORE LONGER, LIKE, WITH THAT. >> Lyndsay: LISA SAYS THAT COULD MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS INCLUDING CONSIDERATIONS OF A MEDICALLY ASSISTED DEATH LESS TOUGH. >> IT'LL TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF THINGS. WE CAN GET HIS TRUE FEELINGS ON WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. >> Lyndsay: SURGERY DAY STARTS EARLY.

THE JOURNEY FROM VANCOUVER TO TORONTO WAS LONG, NAVIGATING CABS AND TRANSIT TOUGH, AND DOCTORS SAY THERE'S A NEW PLAN. >> THEY DIDN'T TELL US UNTIL JUST BEFORE HE WENT IN THAT HE'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HAVE THE NEW PROCEDURE DONE AND THAT'S WHERE IT GOT A LITTLE SCARY. >> Lyndsay: IN THE HOSPITAL THE MARTINS LEARN LEE'S SURGERY WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER 25 PATIENTS WITH NEUROLINK IMPLANTS. IN THOSE SURGERIES, HUMAN SURGEONS PEELED BACK THE PATIENT'S DURA. THAT'S A PROTECTIVE LAYER AROUND THE BRAIN, BEFORE THE ROBOT INSERTED THE ELECTRODES.

THE PLAN FOR LEE'S SURGERY IS TO KEEP THE DURA INTACT. THE ROBOT WILL WORK THROUGH THE PROTECTIVE TISSUE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. >> THAT REPRESENTS A TREMENDOUS ADVANCE IN TECHNOLOGY. WE THINK THAT THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SCALING THE OPERATION, TO MAKE THE OPERATION SIMPLER, LESS INVASIVE, SAFER, WHICH MEANS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS OPERATION TO HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BENEFIT. >> Lyndsay: LISA IS NERVOUS BUT NOT LEE. >> HONESTLY, I'M, LIKE, "LET'S GET HER DONE." >> Lyndsay: SURGERY TOOK SIX HOURS AND WENT AT PLANNED. MARTIN WOKE UP

WITH 26 STAPLES IN HIS HEAD AND A HEADACHE. ENGINEERS FROM NEUROLINK CAME IN RIGHT AWAY TO TRY THE DEVICE. >> I THINK IT WAS AN HOUR AFTER SURGERY I WAS CONTROLLING THE CURSOR AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS THE FIRST OUT OF ALL THE PARTICIPANTS TO DO THAT SO SOON. >> Lyndsay: AT ANY POINT DURING THE PROCEDURE WERE YOU SCARED? >> NO, NO. HONESTLY, I, LIKE, WITHOUT HESITATION, NO. A.L.S. IS ALREADY A KICK IN THE TEETH. HOW CAN YOUR LIFE GET MUCH WORSE AT THIS POINT? HONESTLY, IT WAS, LIKE, THIS IS SO COOL. >> Lyndsay:

STILL HEALING, MARTIN ENJOYS TORONTO, A JAYS GAME, THE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME. ON A WHIM, HE GOT THIS TATTOO, "PATIENT 26." THE CLINICAL TRIAL HAS CRITICS. DOCTORS HAVE OBJECTED TO DOCTORS HAVE OBJECTED TO A CANADIAN HOSPITAL PARTNERING WITH A COMPANY OWNED BY ELON MUSK AND NEUROLINK HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR NOT BE OPEN. CRITICS SAY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION READS MORE LIKE MARKETING MATERIAL THAN A DETAILED SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS. TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL HAZ HAZE -- SAYS IT'S MORE ABOUT SCIENCE. >> IT HAS GONE THROUGH A SERIES OF ETHICAL SCREENS AND HAS PASSED ALL OF THEM. >> WHAT'S READ

-- WHO'S READY TO GET STARTED? >> Lyndsay: JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE SURGERY LEE WAS THE OFFICIAL HONOUREE AT THIS A.L.S. FUNDRAISING WALK. >> I WOULDN'T WISH THIS ON MY WORST ENEMY. IT'S TERRIBLE BUT WITH ALL OF YOU I HOPE WE CAN FIND A CURE. HERE, COME HERE. COME SIT ON MY KNEE. >> Lyndsay: FOR NOW, HE CAN STILL ASK HIS DAUGHTER TO HOP ON FOR A RIDE. STILL LAUGH, STILL SHARE STORIES, MAKE PLANS, AND WHEN THAT GOES AWAY, HE HOPES SCIENCE WILL HELP HIM ENJOY THESE PEOPLE, THIS LIFE JUST A LITTLE LONGER.

FOUR ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE KILLED IN THE SAME PERIOD. AT THE

START OF THE CEASEFIRE ISRAEL'S MILITARY CONTROLLED MORE THAN 60% OF GAZA, SQUEEZING MORE THAN TWO MILLION PALESTINIANS INTO A TINY SLICE OF LAND.

The Biosphere started out as the famous American pavilion at Expo 67. Now, after 20 years as an empty shell, it's opening up again as a green museum. The CBC' s Mark Kelley has the story. Mark: The man

who designed the Dome, American conservationist and architect Buckminster Fuller, called it his vision of the future, a way of doing more with less. He said it was his Taj Mahal, and for one magic summer, it was. ♪ [playful] For many, the Dome was the symbol of Expo 67. It was one of the most popular attractions, the jewel in the crown of the World's Fair. [sirens wail] [helicopter rumbles] But in 1976, the pavilion's acrylic membrane caught fire, turning Fuller's cherished design into a charred, empty shell. Now there's new life inside the biosphere, it's a multimedia museum

built to promote the protection of the Saint Lawrence River. The river is recreated on giant scale models. On computer programs. ♪ ♪ And 360-degree movie screens. The rebirth of the biosphere cost 17.5-million dollars, paid for by the federal government. But despite the glitz and the high tech toys, some people aren't impressed. Environmentalists say instead of just talking about the river, The government should have spent the money cleaning it up. What are these people thinking about? Mark: This environmentalist says the river should be pumped through the biosphere so analysts could test the quality of the water

and make the river itself part of the attraction. -We have spent 17.5-million dollars of taxpayers money to create a museum next to the river... that almost keeps people away from the river... flowing past it. That's heresy. That's ridiculous. Mark: People can decide for themselves when the Dome opens to the public tomorrow. But 28 summers later, Fuller's Taj Mahal is back, and for many people here, that's good enough.
