As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Former Defense Secretary William Perry on North Korea
U.S. President Donald Trump's shots at North Korea have not been what you'd call "diplomatic" -- and former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry worries less diplomatic language means fewer diplomatic solutions.
Right whales order
After a deadly summer for right whales, Ottawa orders ships in the Gulf of St-Lawrence to reduce their speeds -- which our guest hopes will give the stressed population a reprieve.
Le Studio fire
Le Studio outside Montreal was the place to record for musicians in the '70s and '80s -- but it shut down years ago, and today, a fire destroyed it completely.
Part Two
Syrian doctor
When he was a year from becoming a doctor, Tirej Brimo was forced to flee Syria -- and now, six years later, the refugee has finished his degree in England.
Hogweed warning
An invasive plant called "giant hogweed" looks beautiful, with its white flowers in clusters -- but those clusters hide a sinister monster that will foster a disaster of blisters.
