As It Happens

Wednesday: Keystone - Nebraska, Philomena Lee, Stephen Reid, viking apocalypse, and more...

Today, the 2011 approval for the Nebraska portion of the Keystone XL oil pipeline was overturned, bringing things to a screeching halt for now.

Today, the 2011 approval for the Nebraska portion of the Keystone XL oil pipeline was overturned, bringing things to a screeching halt for now. We'll hear from a landowner who's been fighting the project...The woman who inspired the Oscar-nominated movie "Philomena" tells us about her quest to have Ireland release its adoption records...and Norse mythology signals the world's end this weekend, after a battle between gods, giant serpents, and giant wolves.  

Part One

Keystone: Nebraska
Nebraska passed a law approving the Keystone XL pipeline three years ago, but today, a state judge said that law is unconstitutional -- which could present serious problems for TransCanada.

Philomena Lee
Philomena Lee may be the subject of an Oscar-nominated film -- but, as she tells us, she's not distracted from her real goal: the release of adoption records in Ireland.

Part Two

Stephen Reid
Stephen Reid has had two careers: one as a writer, and the other as a criminal. Now, he's been released from prison again -- and tonight, he'll tell us about his plans for life as a free man.

Part Three

Ukraine: latest
After an explosion of violence in Ukraine, the president reaches a truce with opposition leaders. We'll go to Kiev's central square to find out what's happening.

Pennsylvania gas explosion
A Chevron natural gas well explodes, a fire burns for five days, one worker is still unaccounted for, and Chevron representatives are offering some compensation to the shaken neighbours: free pizza and soda.

Viking apocalypse
It's pretty much going to be an average weekend -- except for Ragnarök on Saturday, when the Norse gods battle a monstrous wolf and a sea serpent that encircles the Earth, and then the world ends.
