As It Happens: Wednesday Edition
Part One
Jerusalem Announcement
Donald Trump called it "very fresh thinking". It's not: more than one president has proposed naming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in the past — it's just that the current one has brashly gone ahead and done it.
Borutski Sentence
With today's life sentence for three horrifying murders, Basil Borutski will never again set foot outside a prison — and tonight, a friend remembers one of his victims: Nathalie Warmerdam.
Part Two
California Fire
The California wildfires are expanding with tremendous speed, and destroying enormous areas — and tonight, one woman tells us what it's like to leave your home, and return to find it utterly destroyed.
