Wednesday: Hebdo - MacKinnon, cliff fall, fake art exhibit and more...

One week after the killings at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a Canadian reporter tells us about the crackdown on freedoms in France...Chuck Rosenberg went down, hard, falling eight storeys off a scenic Costa Rican cliff -- but living to tell us all about it...and in its new exhibit, a London art gallery will hang one fake masterpiece -- but it's not going to tell us which one it is.

Part One

Charlie Hebdo: Mark MacKinnon
A Globe and Mail correspondent bears witness to the police take-down of a man in Paris, who apparently said the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Peshawar school
Eighteen-year-old Aakif Azeem tells us about his first week back at school in Peshawar -- less than a month after the Taliban massacred 150 teachers and students.

Cliff fall
Chuck Rosenberg managed to hang from the eight-storey cliff in Costa Rica for a few minutes, before he fell. You'll be relieved to hear that we have spoken with Mr. Rosenberg.

Part Two

Cuban prisoner
Cuba's détente with the United States feels like a fresh start -- but some dissidents aren't feeling so hot about the warming relationship.

Library buy-back
Under pressure to reduce its spending -- and hoping to reduce wait lists -- the Toronto Public Library offers you five bucks for the bestselling books you've got kicking around.

Part Three

Ottawa balloonist
She slipped the surly bonds of Earth -- and froze her butt off as well. But Sandra Rolfe can derive cold comfort -- extremely cold comfort -- from the possibility that she broke a record for "extreme ballooning" yesterday.

PEI fossil find
A Prince Edward Island man has had something he kept for 20 years named after him: an extremely rare fossil.

Fake art exhibit
A London art gallery plans to install a fake copy of an Old Master painting among real ones -- and ask the public to guess the replica.
