As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Amazon Union Vote
Workers at an Amazon warehouse in Alabama vote overwhelmingly not to unionize but the union says Amazon used underhanded tactics to undermine its efforts.
Prince Philip
In public, Prince Philip did his duty, while sometimes proving a royal pain -- but for 73 years, Queen Elizabeth relied on, and laughed with, the man she described as her "strength and stay".
Part Two
Scallop Boat Follow
Months after a scallop boat went down off Nova Scotia, the mother of one of the fishermen fights to get compensation for his death after she's told she doesn't qualify because she's not a direct dependent.
Anne Beatts Obit
As the creator of "Square Pegs", the late Anne Beats reinvented the high school sitcom and as an original writer on "Saturday Night Live", she brilliantly sketched sketchy characters in sketch after sketch.
Part Three
Arkansas Anti-Trans Law
Republican lawmakers in Arkansas ban gender-affirming health care for trans youth and the doctors who want to provide that care say that's a devastating mistake.
Saint-Pierre et Miquelon
The French islands want in on the Atlantic bubble but it's too early for the territory off the coast of Newfoundland to have inflated expectations.
