The extraordinary scene playing out in Manila

from As It Happens

Gunfire erupts inside the Philippine Senate, where a senator is hiding out, trying to avoid a warrant from the International Criminal Court -- a strategy that, so far, seems to be working. Nil talks to a long-term care worker in Nova Scotia who's fresh off the picket line -- as a divisive labour dispute approaches the one-month mark. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome does not involve cysts and isn't limited to the ovaries. A doctor tells us how patients led the charge to get the condition renamed -- and why it will lead to better care. A teenager in Gaza tells us about her award-winning idea to create useable bricks out of the all-too-plentiful debris of bombed buildings.Ahead of his one-hundredth birthday, comedy legend Mel Brooks donates his archives -- a treasure trove that sheds light on the long career of one of the funniest people in the world. A self-driving taxi company issues a massive recall after its cars start driving into severely flooded roadways -- and one gets swept into a creek. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that would rather drive itself to despair.
