What did I miss over Christmas?

In this special edition of In The News, we are joined by our new co-host, Bernice Harrison. We say goodbye for now to presenter, Conor Pope, who resumes his full-time duties as Consumer Affairs Correspondent. Over Christmas and New Year, you may have opted out scrolling through social media or catching up on news stories. However it was eventful two weeks. In this episode, we bring you a round-up of the most noteworthy stories including hospital overcrowding, the death of Pope Benedict and the arrest of misogynist, Andrew Tate. Presented by Aideen Finnegan.
