Friday on Alaska News Nightly:

Alaska’s U.S. senators have differed greatly on confirming judges in the twilight of the Biden administration. Plus, jurors deliver a verdict in a lawsuit over whether the state did enough to prevent a jailed woman’s suicide attempt. And scientists try to learn about how a beached whale in Anchorage lived and died.

Reports tonight from:

Liz Ruskin in Washington D.C.
Chris Klint and Wesley Early in Anchorage
Robert Woolsey in Sitka
Robyne in Fairbanks
Evan Erickson in Kwethluk
