Just War Theory, Sudan, Climate & Faith

Pope Leo’s repeated calls for peace has put the focus on the Catholic Church's Just War Theory- something which went on to form the basis of international law. But is that Theory withering today - both from the religious and political lexicons? Audrey speaks to Professor Tobias Winwright - considered the world's leading authority on Just War - he's currently in Maynooth university, and theologian Dr Elaine Storkey. It's described as the world's biggest humanitarian disaster - 14 million people forced from their homes, and yet the situation in Sudan barely makes the news. As the current conflict enters its 4th year Audrey talks to Birke Herzbruch from Trócaire, who has recently returned from Sudan. Professor Katharine HeyHoe is the Chief Scientist at Nature Conservancy. She will be in Belfast soon to give the annual McCosh Lecture at Queens University. Ahead of the visit she spoke to Audrey about Faith, climate change and why small actions matter. The new Michael Jackson movie has been panned by critics with accusations that it whitewashes the singers past and makes no mention of the child molestation charges he faced. He's not the first artist to be accused of heinous crimes but how are we supposed to view their work- whether it's music, poetry, books, art or films? Audrey speaks to Dr Leon Litvack, from the School of Arts, English and Languages at Queen's University and by BBC Music Presenter Steven Rainey.
