If you want to stay up to date this summer on everything going on
in the world, The House is recommending As It Happens. Meet
people at the centre of the day’s most hard-hitting, hilarious,
and heartbreaking stories – powerful leaders, proud eccentrics,
and ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. And plenty of
puns too.

In this episode:

One day after the UK makes a similar statement, Ottawa announces
plans to recognize Palestinian statehood in September. We'll
reach Canada's former Ambassador to the United Nations.

The head of the Stephen Lewis Foundation tells us what a new
million-dollar donation will mean for organizations whose
capacity to help was suddenly slashed when the Trump
Administration cut billions in USAID funding.

A Maui resident tells us he and his neighbours were lucky to
avoid any major damage after living through a tsunami warning
last night. But that doesn't mean they should be any less
prepared next time.

A St. John's fire chief tells us about the fires that destroyed
two historic fishing stages last night and how it felt to watch
them burn, helpless to stop the flames.

Canada's 18-year-old swimming sensation Summer McIntosh is
chasing five individual golds this week at the World Aquatics
Championships in Singapore. Her mother, a former Olympic swimmer
herself, tells us what it's like to watch her daughter lean all
the way in.

A man in Argentina was shocked, outraged and then really, really
embarrassed after a Google Street View camera captured him in his
yard – fully naked with his bottom on full display.

As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that imagines he'll
be happy when the whole incident is in the rearview.
