Summary
The former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has been told by a judge to expect a lengthy prison sentence after he was convicted of all 18 sex abuse counts, including the rape of a woman when she was in primary school. The UK will get a new Prime Minister following the announcement by Kier Starmer that he is to stand down. Our political editor Pat Leahy says he improved the relationship between the UK and Ireland. There is new legislation being proposed on dog breading to include a requirement that prospective buyers are shown a puppy’s biological mother on-site, and banning animals being handed over in car parks. Met Éirann has issues a yellow weather warning as a heatwave sweeps across Europe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
