As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
UK Election: SNP
One party that fared well during the election is prepared to say "fare thee well" to the U.K. if Brexit proceeds, a point that a Scottish National Party politician says the Tories would do well to remember.
UK Election: Conservative
In Britain, the Tories' resounding victory gives them a clear mandate to move ahead with Brexit.
Newfoundland Oysters
The waters off Newfoundland and Labrador were believed to be too cold to support an oyster harvest but one man is determined to turn the tides on that assumption.
Part Two
Denmark Wind Farm
Denmark embarks on an ambitious plan to increase its wind power production even as it leads Europe in being a clean energy user.
Alberta Drug Switch
The Alberta government says it will no longer fund 'biologics' drugs used to treat diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease for patients without health insurance. But some doctors and patients are raising concerns about the plan to switch to copycat drugs known as 'biosimilars'.
Part Three
Indonesian Paintings
Two years after the discovery of cave drawings on the island of Sulawesi, researchers think they may represent the oldest cave story of its kind ever told, some 44 thousand years ago.
Domesticated Foxes
You may have heard of the famous Russian study that claimed to show wild foxes could be domesticated in just ten generations. But researchers now believe that story is wrong and that the real story begins in, of all places, Prince Edward Island.
