As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Military Settlement
After Canada's military agrees to pay almost a billion dollars to members who've been subjected to sexual misconduct and assaults, one of the plaintiffs says it still isn't safe for Canadian women to wear their country's uniform.
Srebrenica Dutch Ruling
A Dutch court finds its military ten percent responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Muslim men and boys in the most notorious massacre of the war in the former Yugoslavia.
"Pumpsie" Green Obit
"Pumpsie" Green was the first black baseball player to play on the last Major League team to break the colour line. Tonight, his daughter remembers the reluctant Red Sox revolutionary who just wanted to play ball.
Part Two
Hawaii Telescope
An Indigenous professor says she understands why astronomers want to build a telescope on Hawaii's highest mountain but it doesn't belong on her people's most sacred place.
Roosevelt Statue
The statue outside a New York museum is meant to honour the U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt by seating him high on a horse. But now a curator explains why a new exhibit focuses on two unnamed figures below.
Somali Medical Records
He didn't have a medical degree, or any experience in computer science, but that didn't stop an Edmonton man from developing an award-winning app to improve medical care in his family's home country of Somalia.
