As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Jody Wilson-Raybould documents
Jody Wilson-Raybould's recording of her phone conversation with the PM's top bureaucrat has Canadians asking when the government will make the right call.
Fiat/Chrysler worker
A thousand jobs will be gone at the Fiat-Chrysler plant — and one long-time auto worker says that will be devastating for the entire city.
Fake socialite
A trial in New York raises the curtain on the dramatic tale of a fake socialite who is accused of scamming wealthy people — but our guest has already turned her story into a stage play.
Part Two
Agnes Varda obit
In the sexist world of film, the late Agnes Varda was overshadowed by her male peers — but true cinephiles believe she didn't just do things first, she did them best.
Measles outbreak
A county in New York state declares a state of emergency in the midst of a measles outbreak — banning unvaccinated children from public places.
Part Three:
Archdiocese abuse
The Catholic Church in Quebec will open 70 years' worth of files on sexual abuse by priests. But a group of abuse survivors fear the investigation will be a whitewash, rather than an overdue coming clean.
Apple News +
CEO Tim Cook promises that Apple's new "digital newstand" will be great for the industry — but Apple's huge cut of profits has our guest suggesting news outlets should gauge the risk of serious gouge.
