Highlights Include:

Part One:
*Lac-Mégantic Cleanup. Survivors of the train disaster are still wondering who will pay to repair their devastated town. But Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Chairman Ed Burkhardt tells us the cost would push his company over the brink.
*Bee Antenna Study. New research suggests that pesticides are affecting the memory of bees and their ability to navigate.  We speak with the researcher who discovered this by attaching mini tracking antennae to them.

Part Two:
*Great Lakes Study. New research suggests that the tiny, plastic pellets used in facial exfoliants are ending up in the Great Lakes and could be poisoning fish.
*Emu Encounter. Juan Huidoboro sees his share of wildlife in his job as a logging truck driver in northern British Columbia. But even he wasn't prepared for what he came across on a logging road near Prince George earlier this week.
