  • Trump's Iran war: Is there a plan, and do Americans support it?

    Trump's Iran war: Is there a plan, and do Americans support it?
    2026/03/02
    US president Donald Trump came to power promising an end to foreign entanglements. Instead he has ramped up American aggression against its enemies. The weekend's attack that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei along with regime leaders and hundreds of others, including civilians, was his most extreme move yet. But it was done without the constitutionally required approval of Congress, and with polls showing little public support. Washington correspondent Keith Duggan reports on what was behind US president Donald Trump's decision, how it is being received in the US and what happens next.

  • Why is Ireland buying weapons from France?

    Why is Ireland buying weapons from France?
    2026/02/27

    Ireland is to buy hundreds of new armoured vehicles and artillery pieces from France, a move that will significantly expand the capabilities of the Irish Army to conduct on-island defence.


    The deal is expected to be worth €600 million and is the biggest investment in Army equipment in the history of the State. It is one of several deals with French suppliers to provide a range of equipment and services with an estimated €2billion spend.


    The coming years will see Ireland work in closer co-operation with our European neighbours on security matters.


    Irish Times crime and security correspondent Conor Gallagher explains why Ireland has chosen France as its supplier of choice for the modernisation of our defence capabilities.


    Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey.

  • Inside the Black Axe raid: What gardaí found in operation targeting global crime gang

    Inside the Black Axe raid: What gardaí found in operation targeting global crime gang
    2026/02/26

    When gardaí raided the homes of 11 senior members of the Black Axe crime organisation this week they found more than they expected.

    As well as data-crammed mobile phones and laptops, they found merchandise emblazoned with the logo of the international fraud and money laundering gang.


    The caps and bags – the sort of memorabilia a golf club might offer – feature “Ireland” and also slogans such as “Ireland Zone, Stay Safe”.


    The gang has a significant operation in Ireland, having been linked to the theft and laundering of €94 million since 2020. Gardaí have arrested 636 people in relation to Black Axe activities, with 1,400 potential suspects. The gang originates in Nigeria.


    Also seized was something that will be of interest to law enforcement agencies around the world: a copy of the gang’s constitution. Security sources believe it is the first time the document has ever been found by a police force in a western country.


    Irish Times crime and security correspondent Conor Lally explains how the Black Axe gang operates in Ireland and the threat its growing membership poses.


    Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan and Andrew McNair.
