As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Florence: New Bern, N.C.
As the storm called Florence does its worst to the U.S. East Coast, an alderwoman in one North Carolina town does her best -- braving floodwaters to go door-to-door, imploring her constituents to flee.
Mummified wolf
Miners in Dawson City, Yukon, find a well-preserved young wolf frozen in the ground -- and we'll ask the local paleontologist how he determined it dates back to the last ice age.
Uranus Examiner
The managing editor of a brand-new Missouri newspaper helps us get to the bottom of the decision to call it "The Uranus Examiner".
Part Two
India serial killer
A man police describe as a mild-mannered tailor makes a stunning confession: over the past decade, he has methodically murdered 33 truck drivers in India.
Lincoln Towing licence revoked
For more than 50 years, Lincoln Towing has terrorized drivers in the Windy City -- so Chicagoans rejoice when the company itself gets the hook.
Part Three
Florence: weather channel
The Weather Channel has an extremely vivid -- and extremely scary -- new way to illustrate potential flooding as a result of Florence. We'll find out whose brainstorm it was -- and how it works.
Safiya Wazir
A 27-year-old woman who fled Afghanistan as a child has defeated a longtime incumbent in the Democratic primary for a ward in New Hampshire.
