As It Happens: Thursday Edition
Part One
Detained Canadians Update
She's home, but that's not where her heart is. After being detained while trying to smuggle her children out of Lebanon, Canadian mother Jolly Bimbachi is back in the country — without her kids.
Minister Tickles
After several complaints go public, a former Manitoba politician apologizes for his treatment of women — which earned him the nickname "Minister Tickles."
Hawaii Missile Scare
A false alarm about a false alarm. Yes, a news agency stuck a photo of Jeffrey Wong next to a story about the person who screwed up the missile alert in Hawaii — but he wants you to know that attacking him is way off-target.
Part Two
South Sudan Child Soldiers
Armed groups in South Sudan have freed more than 300 child soldiers — and a UNICEF representative explains what's being done to welcome them back.
San Francisco Private Street
Michael Cheng just considered it a smart investment to buy an exclusive San Francisco cul-de-sac — and now that he's suing the city for rescinding the sale, he'll tell us about the realty of the situation.
Part Three
Miguna Miguna
Miguna Miguna has just arrived from Kenya. That's where he was born. But Kenyan police deported him to Canada anyway — after he was accused of treason for celebrating opposition leader Raila Odinga as the "People's President."
Lagos Flight
It's nice for a teacher to have an open-door policy. Less nice when an airplane does — especially when the door is an emergency exit, and it falls off before the plane has stopped moving. A passenger tells us about that unwelcome breath of fresh air.
Cell Phone Concert
A classical music concert where the audience is scolded for leaving their phones OFF, not ON. We'll talk to Toronto Esprit Orchestra music director Alex Pauk about this weekend's unique, interactive show.
