    Jul 3 2026

    Fans are filling cinemas, his music is back at the top of charts, and younger audiences are discovering him again.

    Ciara is joined by broadcaster Sarina Bellissimo and Professor Ellis Cashmore, author of the book The Destruction and Creation of Michael Jackson

    The former DUP leader has been found guilty of serious sexual offences against children.

    The DUP has announced an independent review, Edwin Poots says he has nothing to answer for, and others are asking whether warnings, concerns or rumours were ignored.

    Ciara is joined by Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent and columnist with the Belfast Telegraph.
