Max Hastings will, perhaps, be best remembered for being the first journalist to enter Port Stanley during the Falklands War. He has also distinguished himself as a military historian, and was editor of both the Daily Telegraph and the Evening Standard. In his memoirs, he has written about the rows with prime ministers, the coverage of great events and the daily routine of editing one of the great British broadsheets. In 2002 received his knighthood.
He spoke on The Boland Show about his new book ' Did You Really Shoot The Television', and reveals the sadness in his very British childhood, his love for a stocky Yorkshire woman who devoted her life to him and how his passion for firearms as a child nearly led to disaster.

Sinead O'Connor says: "If Jesus where Alive today He'd Burn down The Vatican"
Sinead O'Connor ranked among the most distinctive and controversial pop music stars of the 90's, the first and in many ways the most influential of the numerous female performers whose music dominated airwaves throughout the decade. Brash and outspoken - her shaven head, angry visage, and shapeless wardrobe a direct challenge to the popular culture's long prevailing notions of femininity and sexuality - Sinead irrevocably altered the image of women in rock. She achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a cover of the song 'Nothing Compares 2 U' and since then she has regularly courted controversy with her views on religion while still maintaining a career in music. This week, Sinead wrote an article in the Irish Independent entitled "I'd help Jesus to burn down the Vatican" and discusses this with Maurice, as well as why she feels that we actually don't need the church anymore.
