As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
New Gun Rules
Justin Trudeau says he's banning a long list of military-style weapons. We ask the Justice Minister if the new ban lacks firepower.
Biden Allegations
Joe Biden responds to the sexual assault allegation from former staff assistant Tara Reade. He says he didn't do it, but a political reporter tells us the damage could be lasting.
Tony Allen Obituary
We remember legendary musician Tony Allen, whose complex rhythms laid the foundation for afrobeat music.
Part Two
Michigan Protests
We get the reaction of one senator to a gathering involving hundreds of people to protest against stay-at-home measures in the state.
From Our Archives: A Showering Bear and other Animals
We have tales of unexpected animal visitors dropping in -- a bear getting cleaned up in a shower in Alaska and an eagle making his entrance right through the window of a house in Anchorage.
Part Three
Encore: John Carreyrou Theranos
Elizabeth Holmes built a multi-billion dollar company on the promise of a game-changing advance in medical technology that never quite panned out.
But the charismatic exec didn't let that stop her. She left that to journalist John Carreyrou, who unpacks the enduring appeal of snake oil.
