Welcome to our latest look back over the past weeks news, views, articles and social media and we are delighted to be joined by award winning journalist Gemma O'Doherty. Gemma is a rare commodity …. a journalist who wants to expose injustice and speak the truth. Born and raised in Ireland, she has exposed some of the darkest corners of Irish life as an investigative journalist and has fought against the Covid tyranny and corruption that has engulfed her country. We have followed her work for years and look forward to hearing her thoughts on topics this episode including.... - Brits brace for the biggest tax burden since World War Two. - Amazon and Facebook see their earnings plunge. - Ban on free movement continues: Draconian plan to stop people driving between neighbourhoods in the UK. - British supermarket coercing customers by offering discounts to those who get a flu jab in store. - Irish hospitals restrict visitors due to Covid. - About 1,000 students at Virginia high school out sick with flu-like symptoms. - Corporate Performers Dying, Falling Ill And Collapsing On Stage. - Study suggests you should cut your meat consumption to two burgers a week to save planet. Gemma O'Doherty is a multi-award-winning journalist whose work has shone a light on some of the darkest corners of Irish life. Former Chief Features writer at the Irish Independent, where she worked for almost 20 years, she has exposed many cases of murder and child sexual abuse that have been covered up by An Garda Siochana and the State. A Masters' graduate from UCD, she was the first journalist to support the work of Garda whistle-blowers Maurice McCabe and John Wilson and revealed how former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan had abused road safety laws for his own personal gain. Her two-year investigation into the cover-up of Fr Niall Molloy's brutal murder led to a state inquiry. When Denis O'Brien – the Clinton's biggest Irish donor – became the owner of INM, she was ordered to give up her anti-corruption work or leave her job. She successfully sued INM and went onto become a film producer. Her documentary ‘Mary Boyle: The Untold Story' has been viewed more than 1 million times and won several international awards. The film about Ireland's longest and youngest missing person revealed how a politician had ordered the police to shield the political suspect whom they believed had raped and murdered the child. Her work led to a new ‘inquiry' and marches around the country demanding justice for the six-year-old child whose killer is protected to this day by Irish Gardai. Gemma's investigation into the disappearance of toddler Madeleine McCann exposed grave lies in the BBC's reporting of the case which were designed to mislead the public and protect a potential suspect. She also exposed the decades-long scandal of paedophilia at one of Dublin's top private boys' schools Terenure College. Her work directly led to the jailing of one of Ireland's best-known rugby coaches John McClean, a serial predator who abused dozens of young boys at the school. Her research has revealed shocking Garda corruption in the murder investigations of Sophie Du Plantier, Raonaid Murray, Shane O'Farrell and Shane Tuohey and how the Irish police have framed citizens like Brian Mahon, Ian Bailey and Aaron Brady. Gemma's work on health and environment earned her the title of Campaigning Journalist of the Year for her investigation on water fluoridation and its dangers to public health. For decades, through her campaigning journalism, she has worked tirelessly to expose the harm done by Big Pharma vaccines, industrial wind turbines, glyphosate, and chemotherapy. She is passionate about restoring sovereignty in Ireland, protecting Irish culture, heritage and family businesses while ending the globalist policies that have left the country unrecognisable and its citizens burdened with debt and bureaucracy. With her colleague John Waters, she was one of the first citizens in the world to take a legal case against the unconstitutional Covid19 Lockdown to defend the fundamental freedoms and livelihoods of the Irish people.

Clare Pain is a medical journalist. During the first two years of the pandemic her work involved writing up scientific papers for doctors in Australia – to keep them up to date with the science. She started to notice some strange changes to the culture of the medical profession and medical journalism in Australia and had increasing doubts about the way the pandemic was being handled by governments. She was particularly disturbed by mandates for vaccination and the TGA's approach to ivermectin. She left her job in December 2021 which freed her to carry out the Australian Survey of Reasons for COVID-19 Vaccination – a survey of nearly 27,000 people. Clare's personal journey includes being laughed at in an Australian hospital in February 2020 for wearing too much PPE (masks and gloves), and anxiously awaiting Covid-19 vaccinations, to January 2022 in Sheffield, England where she tried – unvaccinated – to catch COVID-19 to acquire immunity. It was three months before she was successful. In this interview we discussed: Behind the scenes of medical journalism throughout the pandemic The differences between UK and Australian culture The Australian ban on Ivermectin for COVID-19 Pharmaceutical companies' conflicts of interest The Australian Survey of Reasons for COVID-19 Vaccination Note: The 25 minute long credits to this interview display raw statements from Clare's survey where Australians shared why they received a C-19 vaccination. The statements on screen are uncensored and do not necessarily represent the views of Discernable or Clare Pain.

In partnership with BBC Knowledge and Sky News Australia, we are delighted to bring you a compelling and delightful interview with the fascinating Michael Mosley. Michael is a BBC presenter, best selling author, medical journalist and a ‘self-experimenter’. Michael is perhaps best-known for his television programs on the workings of the human body that led to him being named 1995’s Medical Journalist of the Year by the British Medical Association. Famously, Michael once swallowed a camera to find out more about the inner working of our intenstinal systems. More recently, he has been credited with popularising the 5:2 diet, after co-authoring the international best-seller The Fast Diet. It’s a regimen that he himself follows, eating what he wants to for five days a week, then restricting himself to just 600 calories a day. Since his book was published in January last year, it went straight to the top of the best seller list in the UK and has since been sold in 32 different countries. In Australia to launch the What’s Your Body Hiding? season on BBC Knowledge – a special month of programmes screening throughout October on food, health and wellbeing, Michael spoke to one of Australia’s most experienced business journalists and host of the Perrett Report on the Sky News Business Channel, Janine Perrett.
