With a historical 16th-century city becoming the backdrop for a foam party on their yacht, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have taken the old blessing of “something old, something new” to heart. So who are the couple “borrowing” Venice for their wedding, who's on the guest-list and why are locals in Venice protesting the event?

When 78-year-old Sonia ‘Sunny’ Jacobs, along with her carer Kevin Kelly (31) died in a house fire at the Connemara home she called her “sanctuary", it seemed like a tragically ironic end for a celebrated activist. But Jacobs was no stranger to life's juxtapositions. The well-liked and peaceful woman spent five years on death row in the US before her conviction over the murder of two police officers in Florida in 1976 was overturned after procedural errors were identified. Now, as a Florida inmate speaks out about the circumstances leading to her incarceration, we ask who was the real Sunny Jacobs? Host: Kevin Doyle                Guest: Eavan Murray

Six months into the new Government, and all seems to be oddly quiet in the world of Irish politics.  Yes, we’ve had the furore over the Regional Independent Group’s support for the Coalition, Verona Murphy’s survival of no-confidence and the ruckus that followed Michael Lowry’s memorable two-finger salute.  But since the dust settled on all the “ruaille buaille” of those rocky first days in January, business has been unusually quiet in Dáil Éireann.  So, what has this Government actually achieved so far?  Has it lived up to its numerous election promises? Or is it simply too early to call our elected officials to account?

In early June, a shooting took place near a Dublin playground in broad daylight. There were no injuries, but a clear message was sent. Among the group that was targeted were associates of one of Irelands most feared crime bosses, Brian “King Ratt” Rattigan. Once one of Ireland’s most notorious mobsters, Rattigan's rise was as dramatic as the Crumlin-Drimnagh feud he was at the center of. But now, 4 years after his release from prison, his name is surfacing again and so is the violence. Host; Tabitha Monahan, Guests; Robin Schiller and Nicola Tallant
