As It Happens: Friday Full Episode
Part One
BC flood evacuations
The sandbags and berms couldn't keep the water out — and tonight, a Grand Forks, BC couple tells us about what they call a "two-hundred-year flood".
Female athlete brains
Every brain donated to the Canadian Concussion Centre for research so far belonged to men — but now, four female athletes have announced they'll donate theirs.
Winnipeg Jets fan
When the Winnipeg Jets clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup conference finals, fans head downtown to celebrate — including a man who took a special guest with him to the party: an urn containing his mother's ashes.
Part Two
Sudan death penalty
She was forced to marry him at 16. Now, a 19-year-old Sudanese woman is facing the death penalty for killing her husband — whom she says was sexually assaulting her when she stabbed him. We'll find out the latest on the campaign to have that verdict reversed.
'60s Scoop hearing
A federal court hears from Sixties Scoop survivors about a proposed settlement — but our guest remains deeply un-settled about the lawyers, the terms, and the process itself.
Part Three
Kenya mudslide update
The owners of a dam that collapsed in Kenya this week say rainfall caused the accident. But Kenya's water authority says the dam was illegal — and people warned there were problems with it before it burst.
FCC robocall fine
A Florida man is found responsible for making 96 million robocalls. I know: even if you just heard of him, you are not a fan. So here's the good news: the U.S. Federal Communications Commission collared him for his calls — and fined him 120 million bucks.
