Gaza – The Gates of HellLast Saturday millions across the world, including here in Belfast, participated in one of the biggest ever solidarity events as part of a Global Day of Action in support of the Palestinian people. At the same time dozens of boats, and hundreds of human rights activists, are taking part in the largest civilian freedom flotilla. Among them are three senior Sinn Féin representatives; Lynn Boylan MEP, Seanadoir Chris Andrews and Shónagh Ní Raghallaigh TD. They are all on their way to the Gaza Strip in a courageous effort to break Israel's illegal blockade. Their aim is to deliver much needed food and medicine to the people of that besieged territory.Next month will mark two years since the commencement of the Israeli genocide assault against the Palestinian people, following the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023. The statistics of death and destruction are horrendous. To date almost 65,000 Palestinians have been confirmed as killed with many thousands more buried under the rubble of Gaza. Almost 20,000 children have been murdered and tens of thousands have suffered serious injuries, many of them life changing.UNICEF has described the situation in Gaza City as catastrophic with starvation now an integral part of Israel's genocidal war against civilians. Eight Palestinian children die every day from starvation. The Israeli forces kill 28 children every day. Over 350 children are daily being admitted to the limited U.N. facilities still operating within the Gaza Strip, suffering from acute malnutrition. Many will not survive and those who do will suffer from health problems for the rest of their lives because of this experience.The Voice of Hind RajabMovies can uplift and depress, frighten and inspire, and occasionally make us laugh. The Irish experience, through films like Hunger, which tells the story of Bobby Sands; In the Name of the Father which recounts the miscarriage of Justice experienced by the Guildford Four; of Michael Collins; Bloody Sunday and others is evidence of this. These movies focussed on important political or historical events while successfully and emotionally impacting on audiences.Last week ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab' received the longest ever standing ovation at the Venice film festival and won the Silver Lion prize. It is a drama based on true events – the killing by Israel of a five-year-old Palestinian child, Hind Rajab, in Gaza in January 2024.Hind was in a car with her Aunt and Uncle and four cousins trying to flee Israeli forces. Their car was struck by a shell and the adults and three children were killed. An Israeli tank fired consistently into the trapped vehicle. The fourth cousin was later killed. Hind was alone, surrounded by the bodies of her relatives. She spent hours on a mobile phone with the Palestine Red Crescent Society. She was terrified. She pleaded for help. “Come take me. You will come and take me? … I'm so scared, please come. Please call someone to come and take me.” Desperately the Red Crescent sought clearance from the Israeli Army to send an ambulance. They never got it.Van The ManA very happy 80th birthday to Van Morrison. This column is a big fan of Van the Mans music. It is great that he is still so creative.

Riots were a familiar feature of the Troubles, but with political violence now almost a thing of the past, rioting is rare. However, sparked by a decision not to allow the Orange Order to parade on west Belfast's Springfield Road, the September 2005 riots were complete mayhem. Loyalists rampaged for three nights causing two thousand police and soldiers to be deployed. Belfast Telegraph's security correspondent Allison Morris was there, she joins Ciarán Dunbar.

In something of an epilogue to our “Lost in Belfast” series, former U.S. Congressman and U.S. Special Envoy to Northern Ireland Joseph Kennedy III joins Irish Stew for a wide-ranging conversation on politics, peace, and public service. From the streets of Belfast to the tumult of Washington, Kennedy reflects on the lessons Northern Ireland can teach the wider world, the legacy of his famed family, and where his own journey is headed next.Joe provides his deeply personal perspective on the remarkable transformation of Northern Ireland from conflict to cautious cooperation. While acknowledging the divisions that remain, he points to the extraordinary resilience of its people and leaders. For him, Northern Ireland offers a living example of what can be achieved when reconciliation and restraint guide politics, a message that resonates far beyond Ireland's shores.On a more personal note, Kennedy reflects on the deep imprint of public service in his own family story. He describes it as more of a calling than a career choice, whether through elected office, advocacy, or movements like the Special Olympics. His commitment continues through the Groundwork Project, an initiative supporting civic engagement in often-overlooked communities across America, seeking to rebuild trust between citizens and the political process through a strategy rooted not in messaging alone but in genuine listening and local empowerment, and through Citizens Energy, the green energy nonprofit his father founded.Looking ahead, Kennedy sees promise in Belfast's growth, from education and innovation to its growing spirit of community, bridging past struggles with future possibilities.For Kennedy, service remains the thread tying it all together, whether in politics, community work, or renewable energy.Join us for this Global Irish Conversation on politics, peace and public service in Belfast, Boston, and beyond with #JK3.Links:Joe's “Seamus Plug”Wave Trauma CentreSocial mediaInstagramBlueSkyX - TwitterFacebookGroundwork ProjectWebsiteInstagramFacebookX - TwitterCitizens Energy CorporationWebsite Episode Details: Season 7, Episode 26; Total Episode Count: 129

Interview with Tim Harrison, Managing Director of Ionic Rare EarthsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ionic-rare-earths-asxixr-us-attracted-to-magnet-recycler-7488Recording date: 2nd September 2025The rare earth metals market has entered a new era following China's April 2025 export restrictions on seven critical rare earth elements, creating unprecedented opportunities for alternative suppliers. Australian-listed Ionic Rare Earth (ASX:IXR) has emerged as a strategic beneficiary of this supply chain disruption through its advanced magnet recycling technology.China's export ban demonstrated its monopolistic control over materials essential for modern technology and defense applications, immediately creating supply shortages and price volatility. Ionic Rare Earth's Managing Director Tim Harrison reports the company has been "inundated on requests to access the dysprosium and terbium" from their Belfast demonstration plant, with dysprosium commanding three times Chinese quoted prices in European markets.The geopolitical catalyst has triggered massive government and corporate investment in supply chain security. The US Department of Defense invested $400 million in MP Materials, establishing a $110/kg floor price for neodymium-praseodymium, effectively doubling available prices to non-Chinese producers. Apple followed with a $500 million investment in recycling infrastructure, signaling corporate recognition of supply chain vulnerabilities.Ionic Rare Earth's competitive advantage lies in its proprietary recycling process that produces high-purity separated oxides using 85% less capital than traditional mining. The technology focuses on separating four elements representing 85-90% of rare earth supply chain value, enabling rapid deployment across multiple jurisdictions without mining permits or social license challenges.With comprehensive patent protection, strategic partnerships providing feedstock access through EMR, and government support across the US, UK, and Europe, Ionic Rare Earth is positioned to capitalize on the structural shift toward recycling-based supply chains. The European Critical Raw Materials Act mandates 25% of rare earth supply from recycling by 2030, creating additional policy tailwinds for the company's expansion strategy.View Ionic Rare Earths' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ionic-rare-earths-ltd

Say No To Farage. Probably more than any other politician in Britain Nigel Farage was responsible for winning the vote on Brexit in 2016. He exploited racism and anti-migrant sentiment winning new converts over to an English centred- jingoistic view of the world. The dangers of Farage's xenophobic beliefs are evident daily across the British news media. Every day attacks increase on refugees and migrants.Farage has also exploited the divisions within the British Conservative Party. Theresa May and Boris Johnson said they were for completely cutting Britain from all its legal and legislative connections and treaty obligations with Europe. One of these is the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR was incorporated into the law of the North as an integral part of the Good Friday Agreement. It was written into the Agreement as a way of protecting equality and human rights and preventing any return to the discriminatory and sectarian policies implemented under the Stormont Regime.Farage has now made the withdrawal of Britain from the ECHR a major plank of his political programme for the next British general election. As the right in Britain become ever more strident Farage has set his sights, very publicly, on renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement and clearing the way to extricate Britain from the ECHR. Padraic Fiacc – A Belfast PoetPadraic Fiacc (born Patrick Joseph O'Connor) died six years ago at the age of 94. Several weeks ago a Blue Plaque was unveiled on the wall of the Falls Road Library, close to his birthplace, in memory of this redoubtable Belfast poet.His writing is not as well-known as other poets but his poems stand out for their stark language and brutal rawness, especially when he writes about the conflict. Michael and Brid McKernon, brother and sister, have been campaigning for almost twenty-five years to have Padraic Fiacc, formally recognised and accepted as an outstanding poet of his time. They believe the recent unveiling of the Ulster History Circle Blue Plaque, is a significant step in that direction. Chieftain's Walk, Doire 14th of September.
Also, we hear about hair transplants; from someone who received one and from a surgeon.

Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 4th of September, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1971: at least 2 civillians and 3 police officers were injured when 3 explosions ripped through an area of Belfast. 1980: It was reported that telephone links between Dublin and the rest of the country should improve after Christmas. 1980: A pupil of St. Flannan's College, Ennis was knocked down returning to school and was removed to the Count's Hospital where he was reportedly on the road to recovery. 2010: The dramatic nosedive in Shannon Airport's Flight schedule over the past year prompted calls for the immediate implementation of a new business plan. That was Olly Murs with Please Don't Let Me Go – the biggest song on this day in 2010 Onto music news on this day In 1976 The Sex Pistols made their television debut when they appeared on the Manchester based Granada TV program 'So It Goes'. 2007 The Police played the first UK date on their Reunion tour when they played two nights at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Mark Ronson was born in the UK in 1975 and singer Beyonce was born in America on this day in 1981 and this is one of her songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
Born on the unforgiving streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Survivalist have forged their identity in the fires of personal struggle, societal decay, and the fractured world around them. Through a unique sonic alchemy, the band transforms fear, frustration, anger, and despair into a sound that is unbowed, unbroken, and uncompromising — a relentless fusion of bulldozing grooves, titanic riffs, concussive breakdowns, and devastating vocals. They call it Groovecore. Their second album, A Place For Those Who Suffer, Alone…, has been announced, with lead single Deathbed — featuring Alex Koehler (Ameonna, ex-Chelsea Grin) — offering the first taste of what's to come. On August 29th, they'll unleash the devastating Radio Bleed, perhaps their most fiercely focused statement of defiance yet.

In this episode of Career in Ruins, Derek and Lawrence finally catch up after a busy few months. Derek joins us from sunny Greece while Lawrence checks in from a much rainier Britain. We chat about the latest Time Team episodes, Derek's ongoing work in Greece, and some of the adventures we've shared recently on Career in Ruins—including our visit to the Crannog Centre and a trip to Belfast. We also give a sneak peek at a forthcoming Career in Ruins in the Field special, recorded during a dig on Derek's very own farm. Along the way, we muse on prehistoric parenting, reflect on the highs and lows of bid and funding writing, and—as always—wander down a few unexpected archaeological rabbit holes.
A Belfast priest has spoken about the unfairness of excluding Irish citizens in Northern Ireland from voting in the upcoming Presidential election. Parish priest of St Mary's Parish in Belfast, Fr Timothy Bartlett spoke to Sarah.
Third Edition of the National AI Meet announced as Industry, Academia and Policy Experts to convene in Galway TechIreland has announced that the third edition of the National AI Meet will take place in Galway on 18th September, bringing together senior leaders from industry, academia, and public policy to highlight Ireland's growing role as a leader in AI adoption across business and society. The event will be officially opened by Minister Niamh Smyth TD, Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, with responsibility for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Transformation. National AI Meet, Galway September 18th A curated cohort of over 300 businesses (invite-only) from diverse sectors across the island are expected to attend, reflecting the wide-reaching impact of AI on both technology and non-tech industries. The top teams from this year's National AI Challenge will also showcase their solutions at the Meet. The National AI Meet has received longstanding support from Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, InterTradeIreland, Data2Sustain European Digital Innovation Hubs, and global AI leaders including Google and OpenAI - reinforcing Ireland's unique standing in AI talent, research, and innovation. This year's programme features top executives from the likes of CeADAR, Údarás na Gaeltachta and Iarnród Éireann (Irish Rail), alongside multinationals such as Genesys and Workhuman, and Irish startups like Jentic and Success.co. Expert panels will cover topics ranging from AI Agents and manufacturing automation, to future skills-needs, underscoring the Meet's objective in supporting AI adoption across the Irish workforce. In last year's event, more than 200 leadership team members participated, 60% were high potential companies and multinationals with significant R&I in Ireland, 17% from the public sector, 8% academics and research community. 45% of attendees were from Dublin, 25% from the host city - Galway and the remainder representing more than 18 counties from Belfast to Cork and Donegal to Waterford. Inspired by Ireland's refreshed National AI Strategy - AI: Here for Good (2024), and strengthened by the presence of nearly all leading AI multinationals in Ireland, world-class universities offering cutting-edge programmes, and a vibrant indigenous ecosystem of more than 4,000 technology startups, Ireland has a unique opportunity to be a global frontrunner in ethical and human-centric AI adoption. Organisers and partners look forward to welcoming industry leaders at the National AI Meet in Galway, and working together to place Ireland at the forefront of innovation. Acknowledgements TechIreland is grateful to all partners; Enterprise Ireland, Data2Sustain EDIH, InterTradeIreland, Google Cloud, IDA Ireland; supporters OpenAI, Iarnród Éireann and Údarás na Gaeltachta; and co-sponsors ITAG, Bank of Ireland, Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet, and Code Institute for their collaboration and support.

It's Wednesday, August 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark India threatens life in prison for sharing Christ Christians may face life in prison for simply sharing the Gospel in India. The country's northern state of Uttarakhand amended its anti-conversion law last week. Violations are now punishable by life imprisonment. The law also cracks down on sharing one's faith through social media. Rev. Vijayesh Lal told Morning Star News, “These provisions, with penalties up to life imprisonment, represent some of India's harshest anti-conversion measures and could turn ordinary conversations about belief into criminal acts.” Please pray for the church in India. The country is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian. Trump imposes 50% tariffs on India over funding Russian war The U.S. imposed new tariffs on exports from India starting today. The tariffs come in response to India's continued purchasing of Russian oil. President Donald Trump's levies on Indian exports are at 50% now. India has become one of the top buyers of Russian oil since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The Trump administration is accusing India of effectively funding Russia's war through its oil purchases. 5,000 Irish march for Jesus Around 5,000 people joined the March for Jesus in Belfast, Northern Ireland over the weekend. Rev. John Ahern organized the event. He told Christian Daily International, “As the people of God, if we're willing to humble ourselves and pray, as the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, and turn from our wicked ways, God has promised to hear from Heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land.” The event builds on last year's march in Dublin where about 12,000 Christians participated. Another march in Dublin is scheduled for next month. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Minnesota Christian colleges allowed to offer free credit to high schoolers A U.S. District Court ruled in favor of faith-based colleges in Minnesota last Friday. Previously, the state barred such colleges from offering free college credit to high school students. Minnesota parents successfully challenged the decision with the help of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. Diana Thomson, senior counsel at Becket, said, “Minnesota tried to cut off educational opportunities to thousands of high schoolers simply for their faith. That's not just unlawful—it's shameful. This ruling is a win for families who won't be strong-armed into abandoning their beliefs, and a sharp warning to politicians who target them.” D.C. hospital halts transgender drugs on minors ABC News reports that Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. will no longer offer transgender drugs to minors. It's the latest hospital in the U.S. to stop offering so-called “gender transition” drugs. Other hospitals to make similar decisions include Yale Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and UChicago Medicine. These decisions follow President Trump's executive order to end federal funding for transgender procedures on minors. U.S. gov't owns 10% of Intel stocks Last Friday, Intel announced an $8.9 billion investment in the company's stock by the U.S. government. This means the government will own about 10% of the computer chip manufacturer. The deal converts government grants into equity share in the company. On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL.” 100-year-long German prayer chain And finally, this week is the anniversary of when a Christian community in Herrnhut, Germany began a round-the-clock “prayer chain.” The community started after Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf opened his estate to Protestant refugees. On August 27, 1727, dozens in the community committed to pray, in turns, every hour of every day. The prayer chain reportedly lasted over one hundred years. The Moravian community went on to send hundreds of missionaries around the world, becoming the spearhead of Protestant missions. Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 27th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Get ready for another in our Emmy Awards nominees mini-series. Today, Joshua Zetumer, showrunner of Say Nothing, joins us to break down his riveting adaptation of the book of the same name by Patrick Radden Keefe, which hit screens last year. Say Nothing offered a stunningly well-realised recreation of a tinderbox time on the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Spanning three decades, it followed two real-life sisters – Dolours and Marian Price – whose involvement in the 1973 bombing of London's Old Bailey as soldiers in the provisional Irish Republican Army saw them sentenced to life imprisonment. In jail, the pair went on a hunger strike that became national news. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Josh tells me about approaching the story as an outsider, having grown up some five thousand miles away. We get into the show's portrayal of divisive real-life figures who are alleged to have committed terrible acts of violence, the hurt from which still resonates today. And you'll also hear about the theme of destructive silence that runs through this show - though for obvious reasons, Josh declines to say much about the shocking end to the series, which is currently the subject of a controversial court case.

This week's discussion kicks off with the recent debacle surrounding the ESPN app's rollout, raising questions about the ever-evolving landscape of streaming services (0:59). Blaine and Donovan express their frustration with the lack of clarity in ESPN's marketing and ponder the implications of a subscription-based model that seems to be inadvertently recreating cable television. They then shift gears in the non-spoiler section to explore the gritty British series 'Blue Lights,' now available on HBO Max, which follows probationary police officers navigating the complexities of law enforcement in Belfast (7:59). They offer a teaser on 'Alien: Earth' from FX and Hulu, hinting at its intriguing premise (17:41). In spoilers, it's a break down of episodes three, four, and five of the first season of 'Blue Lights' and how the show deals with the rules (23:49).

Think the Troubles were only Northern Ireland? Discover America's secret hand in the conflict.The Troubles are often remembered as a conflict confined to Northern Ireland and Britain — but that's a myth. In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Ali Watkins to uncover the overlooked role of Irish America in the conflict. Focusing on radical nationalist movements in Philadelphia, they explore how identity, violence, and diaspora politics shaped the fight far beyond Belfast and Derry.Episode HighlightsThe Philadelphia Five – Meet the five working-class men who became central to a clandestine gun-running operation for the Provisional IRA, challenging assumptions about who becomes a revolutionary.Irish American Identity – Ali reflects on her own family history and how diaspora communities engaged with — and sometimes enabled — the Troubles.Smuggling Guns Across the Atlantic – Discover the rudimentary but effective tactics used to move firearms from Philadelphia to Ireland, often under the noses of customs officials.The FBI Cracks Down – Learn how American law enforcement finally targeted these networks, leading to the collapse of the Philadelphia Five's operations.Legacy & Reflection – How should Irish America remember this hidden history, and what does it reveal about modern nationalism?This conversation challenges the idea that the Troubles were a “local” conflict and reveals the global networks — and moral complexities — that sustained it.
‘Hope should never Die' – Bobby SandsWednesday 20th August marks the anniversary of the death on hunger strike in 1981 of Mickey Devine. Mickey was the last of the ten men to die and several weeks later the hunger strike end on 3 October. It was also the day the by-election was held in Fermanagh South Tyrone caused by the death in May of Bobby Sands. Owen Carron successfully held the seat as the ‘Anti-H-Block/Proxy Political Prisoner' candidate.This Sunday the annual National Hunger Strike March and Rally will take place in Belfast. Republicans and others remember with pride and sorrow those who died on hunger strike in 1981, as well as Michael Gaughan 1974 and Frank Stagg 1976, and others of earlier generations. The men of the H-Blocks and the women of Armagh Women's Prison hold a special place in republican hearts and minds. We also remember all of those who died during that summer of 1981.An ClogánAmong the many excellent events at this year's Féile an Phobail was the launch of a new journal called An Clogán (The Little Bell). It is an independent, politically unaligned magazine that takes its name, and I suspect its design as an A5 booklet, from The Bell. This was a left oriented magazine edited and published in the 1940's and 50's by Peadar O'Donnell, Roisin Walsh and Sean Ó Faoláin.An Clogán, which is edited by Oisín Gilmore and Oisín Vince Coulter is an ambitious magazine containing 27 contributions from a wide range of writers, including Claire Mitchell, Robbie McVeigh, Phillip Pettit, Martina Anderson, Margaret Ward, and an interview with me.
