Middle East on the brink: is Europe impotent in the current conflict?
24 June - 23 minsThe Middle East is teetering on the brink of large-scale war, following the decision by the United States to enter the conflict between Israel and Iran, deploying 'bunker buster' bombs and Tomahawk cruise missiles against suspected nuclear sites.
The world holds its breath, waiting to see how the conflict develops. European leaders, including Taoiseach Micheál Martin, have called for ‘de-escalation,’ but is the European Union irrelevant - impotent even - when it comes to this particular war?

'Whole system failure': Is Children's Health Ireland fit for purpose?
Welcome to Newstalk Daily, a brand-new podcast in which Ciara Doherty takes a deep dive into the stories that matter, bringing you richer insights, wider analysis and compelling voices. Up first – just what IS happening at Children’s Health Ireland, a key player in the provision of care to the nation’s sickest young people? Unnecessary operations, use of unapproved devices, resignations from the board, multiple apologies, talk of a ‘toxic work culture'... and the small matter of a still-unfinished, very expensive National Children’s Hospital. The bosses of CHI appeared before the Oireachtas Health Committee last week, where one TD with direct, personal experience of the problems claimed this ‘could be one of the biggest medical malpractices in the history of the state.’ Ciara Doherty and Seán Defoe gather in Newstalk Daily HQ to reflect on the issues at CHI and speculate about how Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill might respond. Presented by Ciara Doherty with guest Seán Defoe, group political correspondent with Bauer Media Audio Ireland. Get in touch with the team at any time by email to [email protected]
