Our guest hadn't yet gone on the record about her experience with former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi -- before tonight...a viral video shows just how many times a woman walking by herself is catcalled and propositioned while walking around Manhattan...and Grade 8 students at a BC school watch in horror as a year's worth of work that was supposed to go to space is blown to bits when a rocket explodes.  

Part One

Jian Ghomeshi: latest
We reached a woman who claims she was attacked by Jian Ghomeshi, former host of CBC Radio's Q, who was fired from the CBC last weekend. The woman is not one of four women who spoke to the Toronto Star. We agreed not to use her name.

Rocket explosion
After working on their rocket for a year, four young Kamloops scientists witness the NASA award-winning experiment go up in flames -- as it explodes in the Virginia sky.

Lizard evolution
When a new lizard moved into its habitat, competing for food, the green anole started evolving at amazing speed -- and the result is stickier toes on longer feet.

Part Two

Homeless study
A new report says more federal funding for housing means less homelessness -- and a man whose own research reached that conclusion last year knows that first-hand.

Street harassment
A new video shows just how much unwanted attention -- and how many unwanted propositions -- a young woman got when walking around New York City.

Part Three

Mexico new grave found
Another mass grave is found in Mexico -- and the true horror of what the police are doing there is still being uncovered.

York University video
A group of York University students proved a point in their video about anti-Muslim sentiment in Canada -- but it may not have been the point they set out to make.

Galapagos tortoise
Slow but steady plus science wins the race -- which is proved by the remarkable recovery of the Galapagos Tortoise population.
