As It Happens, Wednesday Edition
Part One
Oregon: David Fry
Members of an anti-government militia are arrested — and now, American authorities have set up roadblocks around the Oregon wildlife refuge that's been occupied for weeks. We'll talk to one man on the inside.
Rouhani statues
Italian officials made it very clear to the president of Iran that -- out of respect for his religion — they would make sure the naked artworks of Rome would be artfully concealed.
Missing phones
People keep turning up at an Atlanta woman's house, angrily demanding their smartphones back — but the idea that she has them is completely unphoned-ed.
Part Two
York painting: Bronfman
Billionaire Paul Bronfman says he's pulling his support from York University because of a mural hanging in the school's student centre — but York says he's seeing it all wrong.
York painting: student federation
York University says that it's been advised that for legal and human rights reasons it cannot force the mural to be removed. The mural falls under the jurisdiction of the student centre and York's Federation of Students and we'll speak with Gayle McFadden — the federation Vice President for Operations.
Mystery man update
The identity of an elderly mystery man continues to confound British authorities — but one listener says she got a clue about where he came from by listening to his accent on this program.
Part Three
Air India family
Inderjit Singh Reyat — the only person ever convicted in connection with the Air India bombing — is released. And that stirs up no good feelings for Dave Heyer — whose father was assassinated before he could testify in the case.
Fuel surcharges
The price of oil has dropped to its lowest point in a decade — so why are we still paying the same fuel surcharges we were paying when a barrel cost a hundred dollars more?
French keyboard
There is a general feeling of malaise in France over its inefficient and infuriating keyboard — so the country is hoping to pound out a new, less frustrating set of keys in its place.
