I find I'm frequently lost when it comes to current affairs. My problem is that I maybe haven't paid attention to a story from when it broke and then I can't get any sort of grasp of what's going on when I finally tune in. I then lose interest but feel frustrated that I haven't been able to follow the story or form an opinion on it.

What I need is a website or video source that can give me an objective re-cap on the story so that I can then get up to date and understand what's going on. An example is the story about welfare reform in Northern Ireland. I didn't listen to it when it first the media and I'm now completely lost and don't know what to think.

Can anyone recommend any website etc that might meet my needs?
