As It Happens: The Thursday Edition

Part One

Khashoggi: U.S
Despite allegations that Saudi assassins murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Donald Trump isn't taking action — and a Congressman says the U.S. President has to stop playing favourites with the Saudi regime. 

Italian rescue ship
A group of activists launches a migrant rescue ship under an Italian flag, in the hopes that Italy will either let them dock — or pay a political price for refusing them entry.

Sommelier scandal
Almost all the newly minted "master sommeliers" have been stripped of their titles, because someone leaked the answers to the gruelling exam — and the wine world is shaken to its cork.

It was recently recovered after 35 years missing — and now, a rare Stradivarius that belonged to the late Roman Totenberg will be given new life in the hands of an 18-year-old virtuoso.
