It's been a dramatic week for Irish artists, activism and the UK's terrorism law. Sally Rooney — one of Ireland's most prominent literary voices — has made headlines for her vocal support of Palestine Action, a group recently designated a terrorist organisation by the UK government. The Normal People author has pledged to donate earnings from her books and BBC adaptations to the group — a move that could place her at risk of arrest under UK anti-terror legislation. Her stance came in the same week that Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh appeared in a London court on terrorism charges, accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah. Meanwhile, back home, another protest is gathering momentum — this time in the world of sport. A letter signed by around 800 GAA players — including stars from football, hurling and camogie — was delivered to Croke Park, calling on the association to cut ties with Allianz, one of its biggest sponsors. The call comes after a UN special rapporteur's report named Allianz, through its asset-management arm Pimco, as a significant buyer of Israeli government bonds. On today's Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by TRT World presenter Enda Brady and Conor McKeon, sports journalist with the Irish Independent, to look at the high-profile costs and consequences of speaking out on Israel and Palestine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an 23ú lá de mhí Lúnasa. Is mise Niall Ó Cuileagáin.Tharla cruinniú mullaigh idir Uachtarán na Stát Aonaithe Donald Trump agus Uachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin in Alasca Dé hAoine an tseachtain seo caite inar phléadar an cogadh san Úcráin agus na roghanna atá ann chun deireadh a chur leis.Cuireadh an cairpéad dearg amach do Putin agus, i ndiaidh an chruinnithe, dúirt Trump nach raibh gá le sos comhraic agus go mbeadh sé ag iarraidh comhaontú síochána a dhéanamh ina ionad san. Spreag an ráiteas san imní i measc ceannairí Eorpacha agus go háirithe san Úcráin, ar eagla go mbeadh orthu talamh sa Donbas a ghéilleadh don Rúis. Chuaigh Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky agus roinnt ceannairí Eorpacha go dtí an Teach Bán Dé Luain chun an plean a phlé le Trump. Dúirt Trump go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh cruinniú mullaigh a shocrú anois idir Zelensky agus Putin ach níl aon rud beartaithe go fóill.Tá fórsaí míleata Iosrael tar éis 60,000 saighdiúir cúltaca a ghairm chun seirbhíse agus iad ag tosnú le hionsaí nua ar Chathair Gaza in ainneoin an cháinte idirnáisiúnta. Maíonn na hIosraelaigh go bhfuil siad ag iarraidh deireadh a chur le Hamas leis an ionsaí so ach tá eagraíochtaí daonnúla ag tabhairt rabhadh go bhfuil ar Phalaistínigh teitheadh ón gcathair agus go bhfuil sé mar sprioc ag na hIosraelaigh an chathair a bhánú. Tá forghabháil Iosrael, agus aon mhéadú sna hionsaithe, mídhleathach de réir an dlí idirnáisiúnta. Cháin Ard-Rúnaí na Náisiún Aontaithe, Antonio Guterres, na forbairtí is déanaí agus d'impigh sé ar Iosrael agus Hamas teacht ar sos comhraic. Mhol sé d'Iosrael na forbairtí lonnaíochta nua sa Bhruach Thiar a stopadh chomh maith. Scoiltfeadh an lonnaíocht mhídhleathach seo an Bruach Thiar ó Iarúsailéim Thoir agus bheadh sé ana-dheacair réiteach dhá stát a fháil dá bharr. Chomh maith leis sin, dhearbhaigh eagraíocht a bhfuil tacaíocht na Náisiún Aontaithe aici go bhfuil gorta ar siúl go hoifigiúil in Gaza anois.Tá an duais liteartha Polari curtha ar ceal tar éis conspóide leis an údar Éireannach John Boyne. Is duais í a cheiliúrann litríocht LADTA an duais Polari ach tharraing sí conspóid nuair a ainmníodh John Boyne dá leabhar Earth. Tá cáil ar Boyne mar gheall ar a leabhar The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas ach spreag sé cáineadh géar le déanaí de bharr a chuid tuairimí faoi dhaoine trasinscneacha. Scríobh Boyne alt san Irish Independent cúpla seachtain ó shin inar thug sé tacaíocht don údar achrannach J.K. Rowling agus a seasamh i gcoinne cearta trasinscneacha. Tharraing go leor údair eile amach as an bhfadliosta mar gheall ar ainmniúchán Boyne, chomh maith le beirt mholtóirí. D'fhógair Polari go gcuirfí an duais ar ceal i mbliana mar gheall ar an gconspóid agus go ndéanfaidís iarracht níos mó moltóirí trasinscneacha a chur ar an bpainéal as so amach. Chuir Boyne ráiteas amach inar sheas sé lena thuairimí agus inar mhaígh sé go bhfuair sé bulaíocht mhillteanach le linn na conspóide.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.
