Manx charity Victim Support has received 85 referrals since the start of the year.

January is typically the busiest month for the service, which helps people affected by crime on the Isle of Man.

An increase in referrals if often, in part, due to increased publicity of the charity - and towards the end of 2025 there was a campaign to raise awareness about coercive control, financial abuse and elder abuse.

CEO Lorna Trevethan says they are looking ahead to similar, targeted campaigns throughout this year.

International data protection authorities - including those in the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey - have raised concerns about AI-generated deepfakes.

They warn that non-consensual intimate imagery can cause serious emotional harm and damage reputations.

Organisations developing AI tools are being urged to prevent misuse, protect personal data and act quickly when harmful content is reported.

Information Commissioner Alexandra Delaney-Bhattacharya sat down with Manx Radio's Christian Jones to discuss.

We are now entering the fourth day of strike action by the Island's bus drivers as an ongoing row over pay and conditions shows little sign of letting up.

For those relying on public transport there is a limited bus service running, while the Department of Infrastructure has worked to reopen the Manx Electric Railway for anyone who is able to commute by tram.

DOI Minister Tim Crookall joined the Manx Radio Breakfast team to discuss the strike action and address his decision on the Ramsey sea wall
