  • Way too many short clips

    As an Irishman living in Africa, RTE is the best source for Audubon news updates, but why can it not be more streamlined. So many short repetitive clips that fill up the playing list.

    Please provide a separate option to listen back to the whole show in one podcast. Thanks.

Ebola death toll reaches 60 in Democratic Republic of Congo
Q: How is the capacity for testing and treatment evolving as more resources come in?

Ebola death toll reaches 60 in Democratic Republic of Congo
Q: Emmet, what is the latest situation in the capital this morning?
Emmet explains that while the capital feels relatively calm, the outbreak continues in the eastern region with ongoing transmission and that most concerns remain about the capacity to test, trace, and treat effectively, especially given the broader security context.
Scale of serious injuries on Irish roads may have been underestimated
Q: Do we know why there's this discrepancy between hospital data and Garda/ RSA figures?
The discrepancy arises because hospital data capture injuries that may not be reported to or reflected in police statistics, leading to an underestimation of true injury scale and influencing policy and funding decisions.
