Safety for combat sports in Alberta, Trump's pick to lead the FBI, Broadway comes to New Brunswick, and more

Sports advocates are pushing for better safety checks in Alberta, after the death of an amateur M-M-A fighter last month. There are concerns the company that held the event didn't have enough safety precautions, and the provinces oversight bodies aren't doing enough to protect athletes in combat sports.

Also: President-Elect Donald Trump is nominating a loyal supporter to lead the FBI. Kash Patel is best known for spreading conspiracy theories, and has vowed to seek retribution against Trump's critics.

And: Musical theatre lovers in Eastern Canada will soon enjoy some of their favourite shows - far off Broadway. Four iconic productions will be stopping in Moncton, New Brunswick, for the first time ever.

Plus: Syrian rebels take more of Aleppo, A new report on HIV infections, reforming policing in Surrey, and more.
