As It Happens - Friday Edition

Part One

BC terror ruling
They were convicted of plotting a bombing at the BC Legislature — but today, a judge stayed their convictions, saying the couple had been coerced into the crime by the RCMP.

Stouffville mayor
Next Saturday, the mayor of an Ontario town and his fiancée will walk down the aisle — if they can get through the 46-thousand residents he's invited to the ceremony. 

Kaleidoscope lighthouse
Artists have turned a lighthouse in Denmark into a giant kaleidoscope, before it's consumed by the ocean. 

Part Two

Treasure hunter ex-wife
A Colorado man died trying to find a million dollars' worth of loot hidden by Forrest Fenn — and now, that man's ex-wife says Mr. Fenn should get the truth — that there is no chest — off his chest. 

Iraq marshlands 
The UN's cultural agency has finally named the marshlands of southern Iraq a "world heritage site" — and not a moment too soon for the species that depend on it.
