As It Happens: Thursday Edition
Part One
Star Hostage Call
A captor's audience. Yesterday, a Toronto Star editor spent 45 minutes on the phone with an agitated man who'd taken a woman hostage at a local massage parlour - and tonight, that journalist tells how he navigated that conversation.
BC Confidence Set-up
The other shop drops. When the BC election left the provincial Liberals with a minority, the government's future was in question - we'll bring you the latest from a dramatic day at the leg.
Gynecologist Mistake
A misdiagnosis with a near-miss result. A soon-to-be-mother files a complaint, after she's accidentally given what she believes was a labour-inducing drug by her gynecologist - pills that were meant for another patient.
Part Two
Out of line online. A BC man is found guilty of criminally harassing his ex-wife through a website designed to ruin her life - and while that's provided some vindication, she says the bottom line is she wants the site offline.
Cardinal sin. An abuse survivor says his faith in the Catholic Church has been shaken, after one of the most senior officials at the Vatican, Cardinal George Pell, is charged with sexual assault in Australia.
