Former Presidents of Ireland, Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese will speak together about the war in Ukraine.

RTÉ Europe Editor, Tony Connelly saw first-hand how a vibrant city overnight turned to one where terror, confusion and panic reigned. Tony will discuss the scenes he saw first-hand on the streets of Kyiv while broadcasting from a bunker where parents and children sought refuge.

Beloved entertainer Dolly Parton and bestselling author James Patterson will join Ryan from Nashville to talk about their new novel ‘Run Rose Run’ and why they’re both extremely passionate about encouraging children to read from a young age.

Plus, we will have music from Dublin pop artist Aimée who will perform her newest single ‘Nobody Else’.

The Late Late Show on RTÉ One tomorrow at 9:35pm.

Last night.

Europe House, Mount Street Lower, Dublin 2.

Ukrainian father and daughter Mykola Marchenko and Olena Marchenko (above) joined fellow members of the Ukrainian community in Ireland outside the European Parliament Liaison Office calling on Irish people to support Ukrainian membership in the EU. Mykola arrived in Dublin from Ukraine on Sunday, to join Olena, who lives in Dublin.

European Union leaders will phase out buying Russian oil, gas and coal as Moscow’s war on Ukraine makes them realise they have to be less dependent on Russia, a draft declaration showed.

However, they are unlikely to offer Ukraine the fast EU membership it seeks.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin will join EU leaders in Versailles today and tomorrow, as Russia’s war against Ukraine, which Moscow calls a “special military operation”, enters its third week despite massive western sanctions.

Los Angeles’ most famous mountain lion was spotted on Tuesday night roaming Silver Lake, about three and a half miles south of his home in Griffith Park

They used their door cameras to gawk
Then all rushed online where they’d talk
As they live in LA
Where celebrities say
That lions will go for a walk
