As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Bison "rescuer
A Quebec man defends his decision to "rescue" a baby bison in Yellowstone Park — despite being convicted and fined, after the animal wound up being euthanized.
France flooding: gallery
Ten people have died because of flooding in France and Germany — and as the River Seine swells, experts scramble to save artworks on the lower levels of the Louvre.
Ruined clock
A visitor to the National Watch and Clock Museum took action, and destroyed an exhibit — because he couldn't keep his hands off it, and then it couldn't keep its hands off him.
Part Two
Assisted death Bill C-14: minister
After arguments, tension, and a wayward elbow, the federal government hoped its assisted-dying bill was going to pass before the deadline. It won't. But health minister Jane Philpott tells us why she still believes Bill C-14 is bound to succeed eventually.
Somali war criminal
In the early '90s, CBC's "fifth estate" reported on an alleged Somali war criminal living in Canada — and now that same man has turned up working security at a Washington, DC airport.
