Monday: UKIP and EU vote, Ukraine: Poroshenko, 99 yr-old degree earner, and more...

The UK Independence Party is one of many right-leaning parties to make enormous gains in the EU election -- but the founder of UKIP says he no longer recognizes his creation...the newly elected President of Ukraine became hugely successful as a chocolate tycoon -- but his country's problems can't be sugarcoated...and we don't know what kind of marks Jessie White got in university three-quarters of a century ago -- but she's finally graduated with her age in the high nineties.

Part One

Britain's UKIP and the EU vote
Alan Sked founded the UK Independence Party twenty-one years ago. Yesterday, the party scored a huge victory in the European Union elections, with its anti-EU and anti-immigration platform. But Mr. Sked is not celebrating.

Tennessee electric chair
In the midst of controversy over lethal injection drugs, the state of Tennessee opts to expand its use of the electric chair.

99 year-old degree earner
Jessie White just graduated from university with a degree in a course the school doesn't even teach anymore. But that's not totally surprising, because Ms. White is 99 years old -- and actually finished school 75 years ago.

Part Two

Ukraine: Poroshenko
Petro Poroshenko has won a decisive victory in a country where pretty much everything is indecisive, at best. We find out how the new president of Ukraine has said he'll cope with continuing unrest and a disastrous economy.

Steinbeck boat flap
John Steinbeck wrote about the fishing boat the Western Flyer a long time ago, and now the disused wooden fishing boat has become a disintegrating object of controversy.

Part Three

BC tree planter case
A group of Congolese tree planters working in B.C. earn a legal victory. The province's Human Rights Tribunal rules that they endured racial discrimination while living in slave-like conditions, that included living in shipping containers and sometimes going for days without food.

New Brunswick forestry plan
The provincial government says it means more investment and more jobs. Critics say the public has been left out of the decision and many of the plan's details are not available.
