As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Koreas summit
After a year of threats and taunts, North Korea says it's ready to play nice, and South Korea seems ready to play along -- but a former senior defence official says it's too early to celebrate.
Twin Peaks restaurant
The U.S. restaurant chain Twin Peaks winkily refers to its female servers as "scenic views" -- and now, former staff have filed a complaint, saying they were rated by their looks.
Saint's heart found
Six years after it was stolen, the 800-year-old heart of a patron saint has been recovered, and returned to the Dublin church where it belongs.
Part Two
Lobster fisherman
Lobster fishermen say they're all for protecting right whales -- but Ottawa's new rules won't do the job, and will make it hard for them to do theirs.
Leg amputation dancer
Seven-year-old dancer Amelia Eldred and her mother tell us about the dramatic operation to save her leg -- by turning her ankle into a knee.
Part Three
Hot Docs: "That Feeling You're Being Watched" feature interview
After 9/11, the FBI subjected a Muslim community in a suburb of Chicago to what it called "Operation Vulgar Betrayal". Algerian-American filmmaker Assia Boundaoui IS the director of a new documentary, called "The Feeling of Being Watched", which chronicles the extensive surveillance to which she and her neighbours were subjected.
