As It Happens: The Monday Edition
Part One
Emergencies Act
The Prime Minister has given his own government extra powers to deal with the anti-vaccine mandate protests -- so we'll ask what the Emergencies Act does, and whether this is the right time to use it.
Ottawa Counter Protests
Street spirit. People in Ottawa are fed up with the chaos in their city, and the police who don't seem able to stop it. We'll talk to one organizer who attempted his own grass roots solution.
Old Drum Found
English beat. Five thousand years ago, someone in Britain buried a small, chalk drum alongside the bodies of three children. Now that it's on display for the first time, the archaeologist who helped discover it taps into its mysteries.
Part Two
PA Cold Case Solved
Cold case closed. After 60 years, police may have solved the murder of a young girl in Pennsylvania -- thanks to the work of an 18-year-old with a passion for genealogy. .
Wisconsin Voting Rights
The battle over American voting rights finds a new front in Wisconsin...this time over drop boxes often used by people with disabilities.

Part Three
US Pedestrian Deaths
Fear Behind the Wheel. American drivers are striking and killing more pedestrians than ever, and a cognitive scientist thinks he knows why.
Encore: Munger California Dorm
A Room with Absolutely No View. We revisit Carol's conversation with Charlie Munger, the 97 year old billionaire donor who's not an architect...but designed a new university dorm himself, full of windowless rooms.
