As It Happens : Friday Full Episode

Part One

Maryland Newspaper Shooting
Maryland's Capital Gazette went to press today, after a gunman killed five members of its staff yesterday — and tonight, columnist Terence Smith remembers his murdered colleagues. 

Toronto Subway Rescue
The light in the middle of the tunnel. When he heard a man calling for help after falling on subway tracks in Toronto, Kyle Busquine jumped to prevent a conclusion. 

Straight Dope Retires
It's bad for us — but it's bliss for ignorance. After 45 years, the column The Straight Dope has answered its last of thousands of weird questions — but the man behind it makes time for a few normal ones from us. 

Part Two

U.S. Nail Manufacturer
If one U.S. nail manufacturer doesn't get an exemption from the president's tariffs, our guest says it could be done for — so he's really hoping to drive his point home. 

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Effects 
Eight years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, scientists uncover an ugly truth: it's having long-lasting effects on even the smallest organisms in the Gulf of Mexico.
