We have drizzle, we have wet rain, we have sleet and now we have graupel?

Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather has been using the term, which means soft hail, for years but it's recently become very popular.

"I'd love to wake up in the morning and not think about it"

In September 1961, over 150 Irish soldiers serving with the United Nations in the Congo were besieged by mercenaries while stationed in the town of Jadotville. Over the course of five days, the 'A' company survived ground and air attacks with little food, little water and ever depleting ammunition.

After being forced to surrender, they were taken as prisoners of war for several weeks before being returned to camp where they continued their duties before returning to Ireland.

Upon their return home, the Jadotville soldiers were dismissed as cowards and to date, have yet to receive Military Medals of Gallantry as recommended by their commander Pat Quinlan.

The story was told in the 2016 Netflix film 'The Siege of Jadotville' which starred Jamie Dornan and reignited the push for recognition for the soldiers.

Tadhg Quinn from Abbeyfeale in Limerick was one of the men who served in Jadotville, he spoke to Dermot and Dave about what it was like on the ground and what he'd like to see happen fifty years on.

Does salad count? What if it's all blended in a smoothie? What is five a day? Should it be seven?

Since we were young we've all heard of getting your five a day in, but it turns out most people don't really know how it all works.

The Super Bowl is on in Florida this Sunday night and it’s expected to be viewed by over 100 million people. Kansas City Chiefs will take on Tampa Bay Buccaneers but other than the halftime show, a lot of people don’t know a whole lot about the actual game itself.
