00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:04.179
Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.259
David Eby is demanding the federal government

00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:11.660
declare a notorious South Asian gang a terrorist

00:00:11.660 --> 00:00:15.300
organization. The premier says the Lawrence Bishnoi

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:18.339
Group is responsible for recent extortion attempts

00:00:18.339 --> 00:00:21.399
targeting South Asian business people in Delta,

00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.559
Surrey, Abbotsford, and right across the country.

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.920
Several recent arsons and shootings are linked

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.289
to that organization. Other news, a woman has

00:00:32.289 --> 00:00:34.869
been struck and killed by a train east of Mission.

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:38.049
It's believed she was walking on tracks in the

00:00:38.049 --> 00:00:41.189
Darosh area when hit late Tuesday afternoon.

00:00:41.710 --> 00:00:45.030
An air ambulance was stood down by paramedics

00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:48.829
at the scene. A 93 -year -old woman is dead after

00:00:48.829 --> 00:00:51.369
a two -car crash in Surrey's Fleetwood neighborhood.

00:00:51.890 --> 00:00:55.609
It happened on 92 Avenue near 158th Street at

00:00:55.609 --> 00:00:58.780
around 10 .30 Tuesday morning. The woman was

00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:02.140
the only person in her car. The driver of the

00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:05.859
other vehicle was not seriously hurt. Paid parking?

00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.459
Yeah, it's about to become a permanent thing

00:01:08.459 --> 00:01:11.620
along Vancouver's Spanish banks. The park board

00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:14.500
has approved a plan to charge $1 .50 an hour.

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:17.540
Despite a recent petition that followed a pilot

00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:20.700
project, some commissioners pointed out free

00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:23.099
parking still exists in a couple of Vancouver

00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:27.739
spots, such as the Sunset Community Centre, and

00:01:27.739 --> 00:01:31.859
the Trout Lake Community Center. Clouds and showers

00:01:31.859 --> 00:01:34.659
or even a possible thundershower on Wednesday

00:01:34.659 --> 00:01:38.519
afternoon, sunny on Thursday, clouds for Friday.

00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:42.180
