We're back again with another round up of all the worlds news from host Grant Gallacher, one man house band Phil Micallef and stand in anchor Kristýna Haklová. This week we have a fantastic selection of guests beginning with Carmine Rodi - our Italian/Geek correspondent, her to fill us in on exactly what has or has not been happening in Italian politics as well as updating us on what the Pope and Star Wars have in common, Sean Ríordáin - our Liberal American correspondent, here to fill us in on conscription options for a divided America, Chelsea Hart - our Indian correspondent whilst Vir Das is otherwise engaged - here to fill us in on what the protests in India are about as well as catching us up on two hundred years of exploitation by some evil Empire, exactly which one slips both Phil and Grant's minds right now. All that, plus we have a special interview from our Making Europe Grant's Again WWIII bunker with Monika Naydenova - our Balkan correspondent, who is here to catch us up on football hooliganism and Rakia riots from her part of (almost) Europe.
