Tonight:

She heard the cries for help, but she was helpless to do anything. The advocate who Rona Amir Mohammed reached out to before she was killed, explains why the guilty verdicts in the Shafia trial came as no surprise.

Following a messy trail. The verdict was also no surprise to the lead investigative officer in the case. He helped unearth the abundance of evidence that led to the guilty verdicts.

He was perfectly content being sent up the river. We remember the life and accomplishments of Canadian adventurer and Guinness-record breaking paddler, Don Starkell.

Mightier than the sword. Representatives of PEN International descend on Mexico, underwriting efforts to combat drug cartel violence against journalists.

There's really nothing super about them. Disease specialists are worried sick about the rise of anti-body resistant superbugs in India.

And...One thing's for sure -- don't mess with her man. An Alaskan octogenarian successfully defends her husband from an angry moose, using a shovel.

As It Happens, the Monday edition. Radio that knows the most effective way to get rid of steaming Bullwinkle is with a shovel.

It's finally over. Yesterday, Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Yahya Mohammad, and their son, Hamed, were all found guilty for the first degree murder of four women in their family. Commentators call the case a wake up call for Canadian muslims and it has fueled debate on so-called "honour killings" and domestic violence.

And those who knew the family are trying to make sense out of what happened.

Fahima Vorgetts is among them. Ms. Vorgetts is an advocate for Afghan women who lives in West Virginia. Iin the months before she was murdered, Rona Amir Mohammed---Mr. Shafia's first wife in a polygamous marriage --- reached out to Fahima Vorgetts, by phone.

We reached Mr. Vorgetts in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.

Fahima Vorgetts works with Afghan women on human rights issues. She was also a witness at the Shafia trial. We reached her in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.

Hasib Fazel is one of the directors of La Maison Afghanne in Montreal. He is also the cousin of the woman found guilty of murder, Tooba Yahya Mohammad, though they only met after Tooba Yahya moved to Montreal. Yesterday, after the guilty verdicts, Mr. Fazel spoke with CBC Montreal's Silvet Ali.

Here is some of their conversation, for the record.

For the record, that was Hasib Fazel, speaking to CBC Montreal.

For police officers involved in the investigation, the claim that the women's murders were an "accident" looked bad from the beginning. And the evidence trail led directly to Mohammed Shafia, his wife Tooba Yahya, and son Hamed. Staff Sergeant Chris Scott is with the Kingston police, and he was the lead investigator when the car containing the four bodies was found in the Rideau Canal, in June 2009.

Today, we reached him in Kingston.

George Murphy was taking his dogs for a run at when he saw a moose.

Unfortunately, the moose also saw Mr. Murphy. The animal charged him and attacked by stomping on him. That's when Mr. Murphy's wife, Dorothea Taylor, stepped in. Dorothea is eighty-five. And, not to give too much away, but you don't want to mess with Dorothea.

We reached the couple at their home in Willow, Alaska.

There's nothing quite like a canoe trip in the great outdoors to bring a father and son closer together.

But few dads -- or sons -- would go as far as Don and Dana Starkell to achieve that end.

In 1980, Don Starkell invited his two boys to join him on an epic paddle, from their home in Winnipeg, all the way to the mouth of the Amazon in Brazil. Don's younger son, Jeff, would eventually pack it in and return home. But when Don and Dana reached the city of Belém on the Brazilian coast, more than two years and nineteen-thousand kilometres after they left home, they set a world's record.

Don Starkell died on Saturday, at the age of seventy-nine. His son Dana was by his side.

Chris Forde is a filmmaker and a friend of Don Starkell's, and is working on an interactive online documentary about Don's life. We reached Mr. Forde in Toronto.

Chris Forde is a Toronto filmmaker who's producing an online interactive documentary about Don Starkell. Mr. Starkell died on Saturday. He was seventy-nine.

From his album Fantastic Voyage 1: Masquerade, this is Don's son Dana, with "Kemp's Jig".

Every Grand Slam victory for Novak Djokovic is sweet, no doubt. Sweeter still are triumphs over his rival, Rafael Nadal. Yesterday, at the Australian Open, the Serbian tennis champ accomplished both. He and Mr. Nadal also happened to break a record for the longest Grand Slam final in history.

How long? Five hours and fifty-three minutes to be precise.

The match wrapped-up at around 1:30 in the morning, local time in Melbourne. A few hours later, Mr. Djokovic emerged to speak to the press wearing flip-flops and carrying his trophy.

Here is what he had to say, for the record.

Florida Republicans are into the final hours of campaigning before tomorrow's presidental primary.

Newt Gingrich hit the Sunshine State with the momentum after a surprise victory in South Carolina. But now it looks like the cash-rich Romney machine may be pulling away.

For an update, we reached Susan MacManus in Tampa. She teaches at the University of South Florida.

Canada Reads - the CBC's annual battle of the books - begins next Monday.

And leading up to the big literary debate, we're featuring readings from the five contending authors. This year, for the first time, works of non-fiction are up for the title.

First up is author Marina Nemat with a passage from her international bestseller, Prisoner of Tehran.

At the age of sixteen, Marina was arrested by Iran's Revolutionary Guards -- most of her memoir is set in Iran's Evin prison.

At this point in her story, Marina's torturer, Hamehd, leads her and a group of prisoners to an unknown destination in the middle of the night. Here is author Marina Nemat, for the record:

In the words of the renowned Mexican poet, Elena Poniatowska, "In Mexico, to tell the truth is to risk your life."

And that is particularly problematic for journalists in that country. Yesterday, writers from Mexico and around the world gathered in Mexico City to support journalists who risk their lives to tell the stories of drug violence and organized crime. Leading the event was PEN International -- the writers' group that promotes freedom-of-expression.

Jennifer Clement is an American poet living in Mexico, and the president of PEN Mexico. We reached her in Mexico City.

It was a bloody day and it changed the course of Northern Ireland's history.

Forty years ago today, the British Army gunned down fourteen civil rights protesters in Bogside, Northern Ireland. All of the victims were unarmed.

The incident quickly became known as "Bloody Sunday." It's often cited as the event that ushered a particularly violent period in Northern Ireland's Troubles.

Tony Doherty's father, Patrick, was one of the protesters killed that day. Today, he shared his memories of "Bloody Sunday" with the BBC World Service's program, Witness. Here is some of what he had to say, for the record.

In business, it's always a good idea to know who you're dealing with.

As hearings for the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline continue today in Edmonton, questions are being raised about those involved in the project.

The Northern Gateway would see bitumen shipped from Alberta's oilsands to the coast of British Columbia. From there it would be shipped by tanker to China.

Terry Glavin is an author and a columnist for the Ottawa Citizen, and he's written several columns about Sinopec, a giant in China's petroleum and chemical industry. And also a possible giant in Canada's oil industry.

We reached Terry Glavin in Victoria, BC.

Jonathan Franzen has some words for the word business.

The American author is almost as famous for criticizing Oprah's book club, after she selected his 2001 novel, The Corrections, as he is for the best-selling book itself.

Now Mr. Franzen is coming down on e-books -- a form in which you can find both The Corrections and his most recent novel, Freedom.

Here's what Mr. Franzen had to say in defence of books -- that is, paper books -- over the weekend at the Hay literary festival in Colombia.

Quote:

"Maybe nobody will care about printed books fifty years from now, but I do. When I read a book, I'm handling a specific object in a specific time and place. The fact that when I take the book off the shelf it still says the same thing -- that's reassuring.

Someone worked really hard to make the language just right, just the way they wanted it. They were so sure they printed it on ink, on paper. A screen always feels like we could delete that, change that, move it around. So for a literature-crazed person like me, it's just not permanent enough."

Unquote.

On a related note, he added that his own impermanence, at least, makes him feel better about the whole thing.

Quote:

"One of the consolations of dying is that, well, that won't have to be my problem."

Unquote.

You can see more of what Mr. Franzen had to say on our Twitter feed -- @cbcasithappens -- and you can also send us a word about what you think.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Whether or not that particular aphorism is true for humans, it's definitely true for bacteria.

And in places like India, that's becoming a deadly problem. A recent study found that more than half of the bacterial infections in hospitals throughout the country have become resistant to commonly-used antibiotics. Even worse, many of those bugs can resist the even more powerful "last-resort" intravenous antibiotics as well.

Ramanan Laxminarayan is the Vice President for Research and Policy for the Public Health Foundation of India.

We reached him in Washington, DC.

I'm sure you recognized that voice, though maybe you didn't know he could carry a tune so well. That was U.S. President Barack Obama paying his respects to legendary soul singer, the Reverend Al Green. That's our sound of the day. That clip went viral earlier this month -- Mr. Obama was holding a campaign fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, and Mr. Green was in the audience.

And now, it's safe to say that Mr. Green is feeling pretty appreciative of the President. That's because, in the week following Mr. Obama's tribute, sales of that tune --Let's Stay Together-- have shot up by nearly five-hundred percent. Now that is what I call economic stimulation.

Of course, you can't just hear a couple bars of Al Green and not listen to the rest of the song. So here is the Reverend himself with his 1971 classic, Let's Stay Together:
