Drug shortage, Nigerian election postponed, Australian venom bank, and more...
The federal government announces a new plan to "name and shame" pharmaceutical companies that don't come clean about drug shortages -- but one doctor says it's a Band-Aid solution...We take a look at why the Nigerian election has been postponed for six weeks...and we delve into the poisonous atmosphere at a new venom bank in Australia.
Part One
Drugs shortage
Is it the cure for Canada's drug shortage problem, or a band-aid solution? One doctor who's been tracking the issue says the federal government's new rules for drug companies don't go far enough.
Andrew Weaver defamation

Neil Armstrong junk
It was one small schlep for a man. But the discovery of a bag of lunar souvenirs that the late Neil Armstrong had tucked away is at least a medium-sized leap for mankind.
Part Two
More than 50 years ago, Peter O'Brian was sexually abused by a schoolteacher at a British boarding school. When he grew up, his plan was to ignore the trauma. Then, one night, he saw a tv documentary about two schoolteachers accused of abusing children. One of them was the man who had abused him.
Part Three
Switched at birth
It's never a good thing when a hospital makes a mistake. But the mistake made by a clinic in France changed the lives of two families -- and now, a judge has told that clinic to pay out more than two million dollars for switching two babies.

A leader with Nigeria's main opposition party says that the decision to postpone the country's presidential elections is an attempt by the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, to subvert the vote.
Australian venom bank
