As It Happens: Thursday Edition
Part One
Wilkinson: Cop26
COP26 is yet another chance for the world to take bold action against climate change -- and tonight, the new Minister of Natural Resources makes the case for why he and the new Environment Minister are the right team to represent Canada.

A life cut short. The story was that an Afghan volleyball player was targeted by militants -- but now, a BBC correspondent says it's likely a lot more complicated.
Bird of the Year
The bearer of bat news. If the current front-runner wins the New Zealand Bird of the Year competition, it'll be a real feather in its cap -- which will be its only feather, because it's a bat.
Part Two
Patrik Mathews Sentenced
The man who loved to hate. Former Canadian army reservist and neo-Nazi Patrik Mathews is going to prison for plotting violence in the U.S. -- and we'll speak to the reporter who went undercover to expose him.
Bridge Cheating Drama
For the first time in years, a scandal involving trumps has nothing to do with the former U.S. president -- and everything to do with widespread cheating in the game of bridge during the pandemic.
Part Three

No absolution without confession. A Saskachewan Chief says he's glad to hear Pope Francis is planning to pay a visit to Canada -- but that the first words out of the pontiff's mouth better be an apology for the residential school system.
