Part One

Facebook Senate hearing
In Washington, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg faces a gaggle of U.S. senators — who asked him to share data about how so many of the social network's users unknowingly share their data.  

Humboldt first responder
Lyle Moffat had just retired when he was called back to work after the Humboldt Broncos bus crash — and tonight, the Saskatchewan paramedic shares his harrowing memories of the scene. 

FBI Trump lawyer raid
U.S. President Donald Trump is furious — all-caps tweets furious — after the FBI raids the offices of his attorney; and a lawyer tells us he's not wrong to be agitated. 

Part Two

Marie Colvin Syria lawsuit
New documents claim that the late war correspondent Marie Colvin wasn't just in the wrong place at the wrong time when she died — she was assassinated by the Assad regime.

It was a struggle for African scientists to get their work published — but now, there's a new pan-African journal that will give them a new, much-needed voice.

Part Three

Windsor student recovers
A Windsor teenager was told she'd never walk again after an accident in which a sawed-off golf club punctured her skull. But, as we'll hear, Madison Arsenault is all about defying the odds.
