Pope Francis
Superintendent Eddie Johnson of the Chicago Police
Vancouver measles outbreak
Four powerful stories form Thursday’s Video Wheel, starting with demands by Pope Francis that bishops arrange access to expert lay persons to help verify alleged abuse of children. Next, Chicago police were led Thursday by a high-ranking black officer in blasting Jussie Smollett for the fabricated attack perpetrated, they say, to improve is salary. Below that, the outbreak of measles in Vancouver is seen as a terrible consequence of anti-vaccine silliness. Lastly, Halifax remains in a sombre state of near-disbelief at the appalling death of seven children in a house fire.
