As It Happens Podcast

Listening to As It Happens is like taking a trip around the world. From the complex headlines of the day to the weird and wacky, As It Happens brings you the story behind the story.

Beginning September 7th, 2009 As It Happens will podcast the whole show daily. Because of licensing issues, however, some items have been removed.

The outcome of whats come out. If Richard Colvin's testimony is accurate, one expert tells us, then Canada violated international humanitarian law. Building consensus? Not a chance. A member of a Jewish group against settlements in the occupied territories gives us a window into her thinking. Herman on the mount. The European Union's first permanent president may not be a firebrand -- but he's no Belgian waffler.

Greenpeace de resistance. The new head of the conservation group makes saving humanity from itself his top priority. Two sorry situations.

The CRTC prepares to decide who's right in the battle between cable providers and broadcast networks.

As It Happens for Monday, November 13, 2009 * Khadr Trial * German Killers Wikipedia * Ned Kelly * Digital Cloud * UK Nazi Looted Items * Russian Luxury Car * PEI Show Cows * New Killer Whale

No trial by jury. The U.S. rules that Omar Khadr will face a military commission, rather than a trial in a civilian court. The loot of all evil. At long last, British museums prepare to return artifacts stolen by the Nazis to their rightful owners. And...out of the belly of a whale. At one point, the future looked black for killer whales near B.C. -- but thanks to a surprise birth, it's now looking black and white.

Tonight:No longer a voice crying in the wilderness. After thirty-two days in captivity in the Philippines, a seventy-nine-year-old Irish priest is freed. The oyster was their world. The American Food and Drug Administration bans Gulf Coast oysters -- leaving the people who farm them high and dry. Putin, his feet to the fire. Russian President Dmitri Medvedev goes ballistic about his country's "primitive economy" -- right in front of its former president.

A monumental victory. Despite a devastating act of vandalism on a cenotaph, veterans and citizens turn out en masse for Remembrance Day. Stream of consciousness. A feature interview with John Irving about his reflections on his country, our country, and his new novel Last Night in Twisted River. And...most stories, we're not married to. But in this case, we're espousing more than the Giller-winning book The Bishop's Man -- Carol has espoused its author, Linden MacIntyre.

In The Hague, the prosecution begins its cross-examination of Charles Taylor -- who stands accused of war crimes. And...Hitting below the pelt. An infestation leads the government of Saskatchewan to put a bounty on the head of every wild canine in the province.

Service and disservice. Just before Remembrance Day, vandals inflict heartbreaking damage on a cenotaph in Fredericton. For good and ill. President Obama's health care bill passes after a close vote -- but the legislation is compromised by some pre-existing conditions. A flood of tears. Hurricane Ida unleashes torrential rains and mudslides on El Salvador -- killing more than a hundred-and-twenty people.
