    I am not saying i do not want to hear about world news,but a full half hour on the russia /ukraine story is a bit much. Who in rte decides what to put out and for how long. Our government must be delighted that they are out of the limelight.

    You're right ...unimportant - if it develops into anything we'll call it an Emergency and hide in the loo while the big people do their stuff.
    We'll fight to the last pint to keep the Angelus ringing. Besides..bono sorted it all out today.

    Watch the credits at the end of the news. The news editor is the person who decides what goes where in the bulletin. They answer to the head of news.

    It's quite easy to see how they'd run a lot on the crisis in Ukraine. If it blows up it could turn into a complete clusterf*ck that will affect us all.
