The rise of the far right in Europe - are you concerned? Unite the Union’s Community Branch is holding a seminar on this in the coming days. We were joined in the studio by one of the organisers Michael Netto, speaker at the event Henry Pinna and on the line by Simon Dubbins, Unite the Union Director of International.


Today is 'Wear Red Day’, with the local community asked to wear red to raise awareness of heart disease and support for good heart health.Leading the way, the Cardiac Association encourages everyone to wear red and donate if possible. As part of their fund-raising and educational efforts, the Association has donated a chest compression device to the Ambulance Service.


The Representation in Westminster Movement says it's ready to exercise patience and perseverance. The group left a meeting with the Chief Minister on Wednesday morning, saying that while not totally happy, it was at least clearer on where it stood. The Representation in Westminster Movement told GBC it has been assured the matter will form part of discussions by the Constitutional Reform Select Committee. The Committee has not yet met, pending the result of treaty negotiations. We spoke to Wilfred Stagnetto and Emilio Reyes from the Movement.


‘Between the lines’ is back. The GBC TV series looks at the work of eleven writers and poets, looking at their personal journeys and creative struggles. Poets, writers, lyricists, playwrights …. Artistry is about vulnerability, about putting yourself out there. We caught up with three local lawyers who are also creative writers: Levi Attias, Tim Garcia & Tessa Rosado Standen.


And, there’s some big sporting fixtures happening this weekend. Jose Mari Ruiz filled us in on the action happening this weekend, including the women’s hockey final, the highly anticipated football match between Lincoln Red Imps and St Joseph’s, and the darts JDC World Championships. He also shared some news in the world of boxing.
