Today marks 100 years since the end of the Civil War in Ireland which lasted 11 months but left a legacy which lasted decades. We were joined in studio by RTÉ David McCullagh journalist who explained what it was all about it.

The Cumann na mBunscol Athletics competition kicked off yesterday, and Molly went to St Damian's School in Dublin 12, who were training for the big event.

During Biodiversity Week we find out about a study from Queen's University in Belfast telling us almost half of the animal species on the world's surface are currently undergoing declines in their population sizes.

And we finish with a fun story from China where a panda is making a splash!
