Cathal headed to St Joseph's Secondary School in Rush, Co Dublin to meet Aoife Smyth, one of the winners in An Taisce's Young Reporters for the Environment national competition. He chats to the student and her friends to find out more about a picture-perfect project on microplastics!

It's been a few weeks since we have brought you news about what is happening in the Middle East. To bring us up to date with the situation with Iran, the US and Israel, our Deputy Foreign Editor Edmund Heaphy joined Florence in studio.
And we finish with two doggy stories. The first one is about new fines to against people who don't pick up the poop, and we have a happy ending for some beagles in the USA. Check it out!
