The case against Alec Baldwin in the Rust shooting trial 

“Fight Night” took on a whole new meaning at an influencer-fronted event in Kilkenny when the action dramatically spilled outside the squared circle.

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – found himself at the centre of an all-out brawl when a seemingly pissed-off pugilist leapt from the ring apron to confront Robinson head-on.

Cue pandemonium, beamed out via livestream to an audience of almost two million.

Questions, naturally, have arisen in recent days.

Was everything really as it seemed? More to the point, why was Tommy Robinson there in the first place? And, perhaps most pertinently, how does Ireland factor into Robinson's agenda of disruption and division?

On this episode of The Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent journalists Darragh Nolan and Aisling Bolton-Dowling to look at the fallout from a strange night in Kilkenny.

Why is far-right activist Tommy Robinson targeting Ireland?

For years, David Walliams was one of Britain's most recognisable entertainers – a bestselling children's author, a TV star and a household name.

But, today, the comedian has been publicly identified as the celebrity who sought a court injunction to prevent his name being linked to allegations of sexual misconduct.

As investigations by The Guardian and ITV News detail claims from several women spanning two decades, Walliams strongly denies wrongdoing and insists he is not a sexual predator.

So why did he fight so hard to keep his identity secret, and what happens now that the allegations are in the public domain?

Today, on this extra episode of the Indo Daily, Kevin Doyle is joined by Enda Brady, TRT world presenter, to examine David Walliams' legal battle, the claims against him, his response, and the potentially devastating impact on his career.

Extra: David Walliams: Inside the allegations shaking British TV

The trial of two women accused of the murder of Scarlett Faulkner has heard detailed evidence from eyewitnesses, family members and emergency responders about the events leading up to her death.

The prosecution says the attack was motivated by a relationship involving the former partner of one of the accused, a claim that remains contested.







As the case enters its third week, the court continues to hear testimony about the moments before, during and after the fatal assault.







What evidence has emerged so far, and what are the key questions facing the jury?







Today on the Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by court reporter with Ireland International, Eoin Reynolds, to examine the evidence presented so far in the Scarlett Faulkner murder trial.
