The U.S. government shutdown cut off funding for a crucial food program; a grocery store owner says he's heartbroken to see his customers suffering -- and he has a special message for Donald Trump. A survivor of a deadly typhoon in the Philippines tells us about the day she lost her home -- and how she's hoping to make fossil fuel giants pay. A small-town Kansas newspaper receives a hefty settlement and an apology -- two years after local police raided its offices and the home of its editor. The widow of Alex Tilley -- inventor of the Tilley hat -- tells us what elevated the cotton duck cap from sailing accessory to Canadian classic.We've picked a pack of tickled pipers. 374 bagpipers, to be exact -- who came together in Australia to play along to a certain AC/DC song, at an event that turned out to be a big honking deal. You had us at 'gull-oh'. A scientist plays to our love of seagull stories with new research into the best method of scaring one off when they are trying to eat your food -- one of which is a roaring success. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition.
