Vaccinations numbers collapse; the NUJ thinks public funding of journalism won't damage journalism; EU diplomate humiliated by Russial; and how Russian energy is similar to a temperamental lover. https://www.edelman.com/sites/g/files/aatuss191/files/2021-01/2021-edelman-trust-barometer.pdf https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/state-support-for-journalism-is-in-the-public-interest-1.4481394 https://gript.ie/irish-vaccination-numbers-appear-to-have-collapsed/ https://www.rt.com/russia/515015-borrell-moscow-visit-fallout/

Koen Stoop is the EU Policy Coordinator of the World Uyghur Congress, an international organisation which represents the Uyghur people. Koen talks about the ongoing repression of the Uyghur people, a situation a growing number of politicians and academics have said constitutes genocide.

The Indo has published 3 articles, in 1 day, attacking Mary Lou for liking Woody Allen and they haven't even asked her which of his movies is best; how the Government has taken inspiration from the life of Tchaikovsky for their latest bill; and of course vaccinations and more on the Mother and Baby home report.

The government somehow managed to turn closing schools into a political controversy; businesses have been told to expect to close for 3 months; the end of the Trump presidency; the HSE wants control of 40% of the beds in private hospitals for 2 years; and the vaccine rollout is not looking good.

A discussion of the events leading up to the shooting of George Nkencho; when and why it is appropriate to ask a Guard to risk their life; the protests after the shooting; and the potential danger of the comments made by some academics and politicians who seem determined to position the shooting as being due purely to race.
