Here’s more on how Chapter 19 works and why Canada thinks it’s important. The work of this panel – the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board – has been under scrutiny this summer after a court ruling that upended how Canada’s cultural property rules worked. The court ruling that has put the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion into doubt dimmed the hopes of many in Alberta, where businesses and workers in the oil patch were pinning their homes on a long-awaited economic recovery on the project. A lawyer for a family in Vancouver that owns a number of notorious low-income hotels say the city’s attempt to expropriate two properties is “draconian" and that local officials haven’t acted in good faith. A lawyer for the Sahota family, whose record of violations was documented in a Globe and Mail investigation, has filed a challenge of the expropriation attempt. And in what some are calling yet another dark day for Myanmar’s democracy, two Reuters journalists have been sentenced to jail for seven years for reporting on the country’s brutal treatment of Rohingya people. " A win later this month at the North American free-trade talks would go a long way to repairing the damage. But if those talks fail, the Liberals will be challenged to win the next election, a prospect that seemed unlikely mere months ago.” Margaret Wente (The Globe and Mail) on wildfires: “The trouble is that proper forest management is extremely expensive. Each country has to ultimately act in its own best interest in trade negotiations without relying on elusive goodwill among partners.” Help The Globe monitor political ads on Facebook: During an election campaign, you can expect to see a lot of political ads. The Globe and Mail wants to report on how these ads are used, but we need to see the same ads Facebook users are seeing.

Inside the BBC’s Millbank Studios, just across the road from parliament, final dress rehearsals are taking place for the launch of Politics Live: the BBC’s attempt to answer the question of what a daily political television show should look like in the era of social media. Activists and journalists, who have been drafted in as pundits for the rehearsal, get stuck into passionate arguments that will never be broadcast. “It’s going to be more discursive and conversational,” she says in between rehearsals. “We are still going to scrutinise the politicians, but there are different ways of doing this.” Part of this is a recognition that there are now “more people and a more diverse range of people” interested in politics than before – even if they don’t care for the ups and downs at Westminster. Coburn, who will be hosting the lunchtime BBC2 programme four days a week, says this could mean that the show chooses to focus on policies that spark public debate rather than following every government announcement on issues such as Brexit: “Whether it’s animal rights or marijuana oil, these are things people feel they have got something to say about. Maybe we won’t relentlessly follow every incremental change in a way that we might have done.” The new show – a replacement for the longrunning Daily Politics, produced by most of the same staff – launches on Monday with guests including Amber Rudd and Emily Thornberry. Given television’s ageing demographic, that really means aiming to increase the number of people watching who are under the age of 65. With this in mind, films for the programme will be packaged for distribution on social media, making it partially a vehicle for creating online content. “Television news to me is feeling a little left behind … the way we present our product hasn’t been moving,” says Deborah Turness, the former ITV News boss now working to relaunch the satellite station Euronews for US media giant NBC. Back at the BBC studios, Burley says that while “previous iteration of the Daily Politics was very much of the traditional Westminster world”, the new programme will be looking to bring in guests from outside the traditional boundaries.

The move was announced as part of changes to the broadcaster's political and parliamentary output. Daily Politics, on BBC2, which first aired in 2003, will be replaced by Politics Live, which will air from Monday to Friday. The new programme will be presented four days a week by Jo Coburn, who currently co-hosts Daily Politics with Andrew Neil.

"I'm looking forward to presenting the show on Wednesdays when PMQs will be centre-stage." "With a conversational, unstuffy approach, we will keep viewers up to speed in fast-changing times and entertain them along the way.” Sunday Politics, hosted by Scotland editor Sarah Smith shortly after The Andrew Marr Show, will not be broadcast after July. "But given the need for BBC News to make substantial savings while offering distinctive content, it no longer makes sense for us to run two national UK politics programmes in close succession on the same day and the same channel." The Andrew Marr Show and This Week on BBC1 will continue to be broadcast.
