As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Malware indictment
Four months after a young hacker helped save the world from malware, he's been detained by the FBI for allegedly creating and selling malware of his own — but our guest believes the authorities may have made a mistake.
Sierra Leone jogging
Police in Sierra Leone are not so hot on the heels of various suspicious collectives quickly roaming the streets of their country — so they've banned jogging in groups.
German swimmer
Fed up with the stress of gridlock on his morning commute, a Munich man immerses himself in a new routine: he packs his stuff in a waterproof bag and swims to work.
Part Two
Jordan rape law
After decades of campaigning and controversy, Jordan's parliament finally votes to abolish a law that allowed rapists to avoid punishment by marrying the women they'd assaulted.
NAACP travel advisory
After a recent spike in racist incidents, and a new state law that makes it harder for people to prove racial discrimination, the NAACP issues an unprecedented travel advisory for Missouri.
