As It Happens: Wednesday Edition
Part One

ISIS strikes in Iran, killing twelve people in two attacks on Tehran — and the country's Revolutionary Guard immediately points fingers at Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

She was the victim of a violent sexual assault, but "Angela Cardinal" herself was jailed and shackled — and tonight, I'll speak with her sister-in-law, who only learned of Angela's story after it appeared in the news.
Liquor store peafowl
When a disgruntled female peacock entered his liquor store, our guest first imagined he had a human-interest story on his hands — but it turned out to be breaking news.
