As It Happens: Friday Edition

Part One

Nobel Peace Prize winners
This year's Nobel Peace Prize was a group of groups effort -- and tonight, we'll find out what four organizations called the National Dialogue Quartet have done to foster democracy in Tunisia. 

Kitchener arrow death
In Kitchener, Ontario, a man is inexplicably killed by an arrow -- and now, the police, and the victim's sister, are searching for answers. 

Steve Bartman
With the Chicago Cubs in the playoffs, a contingent says it's time to forgive Steve Bartman -- the fan whose clumsy glove made him a villain. 

Part Two

HPV funding backlash
In Quebec, a social scientist's article against the HPV vaccine raises the ire and eyebrows of experts -- not least because she received federal funding for her work. 

Texas prof retires
After 22 years at the University of Texas at Austin, an economics professor retires abruptly, before a law allowing students to carry concealed weapons on campus comes into effect. 

Part Three

Ukraine polio follow-up
Ukraine has taken a surprisingly long time to begin its mass polio vaccination -- and even under the circumstances, our guest isn't sure it's a good idea. 

El Faro safety
It's been over a week since the U-S cargo ship El Faro went missing. And the search for survivors has been called off. Our guest is a former crew member of the El Faro who says there were major safety issues with the 40-year-old ship. 

New York slave reburial
Fourteen slaves who were owned by a prominent family in upstate New York will finally be given a proper burial next year.
