As It Happens: Friday Edition
Part One
Kashmir Latest
Her colleague has been detained along with hundreds of others in Kashmir, since the Indian government revoked the region's semi-autonomous status. Now one Kashmiri politician is hoping to fight the law's repeal at India's highest court.
Dairy Farmer
A seventh-generation Quebec dairy farmer welcomes the federal government's plan to compensate families like his — but says the trade agreements that make it necessary shouldn't have been made to begin with.
WWII Video Game
No one can remember what really happened better than she can — which is why an Ohio man designed a video game narrated by his 93-year-old grandmother, based on her memories of the Second World War.
Part Two
Foodora Vote
Food couriers in Toronto cast their votes on whether to unionize days ago — but those votes will remain sealed until the province's Labour Relations Board rules on whether they can be considered employees.
Nemo Effect
It's long been thought that making exotic species appear cute in films and television causes an increase in demand for them as pets, but a new study says the so-called "Nemo Effect" is pure fantasy.
Vanity Plate
Ordering a vanity plate that read "NULL" seemed like a funny idea to a California systems analyst — until it backfired into thousands of dollars in charges.
