As It Happens - Monday Edition

Part One

Badawi meeting
As Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister meets the Saudi Crown Prince, his former colleague urges him to leverage that giant armoured vehicle contract to win a reprieve for imprisoned blogger Raif Badawi.     

Austrian election
After the election, Austria has a new, left-wing president, but it also has a problem — because Alexander Van Der Bellen defeated a right-wing anti-immigration candidate by a mere point-six per cent. 

Osprey cam 
A U.S. research institute is forced to turn off a camera pointed at an osprey nest, after human viewers express fury over the birds' wildly unnatural, totally natural behaviour. 

Part Two

Mullah Mansour dead
A U.S. drone strike kills the leader of the Taliban in Afghanistan — and American authorities say the fatal attack was meant to encourage the peace process. 

Vietnam fish protest
President Barack Obama arrives in Vietnam to angry protests — not over his agenda, but over the fact that millions of fish have died off the country's coast, and the government's doing nothing about it. 

Part Three

Feature: Michael Crummey
Twenty years after his first collection of poetry was published, Michael Crummey has a new book of poetry —  Little Dogs: New and Selected, which draws on his youth in Newfoundland, his relationship with his father, and explores the the concept of loneliness at home.
