Part One
Saudi deal: Clement
Opposition MP Tony Clement demands the Liberal government disclose the full human-rights report justifying the Saudi arms deal -- soon after his Conservative government, which negotiated that deal, refused to disclose the same thing.

The Saudi arms deal just got even tougher to defend -- now that human-rights activist Samar Badawi has been detained, joining her brother and her former husband in a Saudi prison.
Bowie kid
As an eleven-year-old boy, Seth Scholes got to play saxophone for the late David Bowie -- and tonight, he'll tell us how their backstage meeting changed his life.
Part Two

Halifax journalism school graduates are offered work at the city's newspaper -- with the tiny caveat that, if an expected work stoppage occurs, they'll be scabs.
Canadian dollar
It's a dark time for the Canadian dollar, and some warn the global markets are on the verge of what's called a "major correction" -- but one economist says we should lighten up.
