Norway - A Nation mourns

As Norway suffers its worst tragedy since World War II, Kathy talks to Fr. Pål Bratbak, Press Officer Catholic Diocese Oslo, about this senseless attack on scores of young people. As the nation mourns we explore the background of this attack - and the outpouring of grief - and the remarkable staring of Christian faith centred on the Lutheran Cathedral in Oslo.

Famine across Africa - A Catholic charity responds

As the worst famine in decades hits the Horn of Africa, Kathy looks at the vital work of Scottish based Catholic Charity Mary's Meals. Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow OBE, Director of Mary's Meals, reflects on the plight of the most vulnerable children caught up in this growing catastrophe. In the light of the Holy Father's recent comments on world hunger and his call for Catholic charities to be faith centred, we explore how Mary's Meals enacts its mission to hungry children around the world.
