Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign, calling him an obstacle to a two-state solution.

THE BIG PICTURE: Speaking about the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and the prime minister's counteroffensive, Pelosi said Netanyahu is ultimately responsible.

• "We recognize Israel's right to protect itself. We reject the policy and the practice of Netanyahu. Terrible," she said in an interview with RTÉ's Six One News in Ireland. "What could be worse than what he has done in response?"

WHAT SHE'S SAYING: Pelosi said he has been an obstacle to peace in the region for years.

• "I don't know whether he's afraid of peace, incapable of peace, or just doesn't want peace, but he has been an obstacle to the two-state solution," she added.

ZOOM OUT: The comments come after the House on Saturday voted on a bipartisan basis to pass a $95 billion foreign aid package, that $26 billion in aid for Israel and for humanitarian crises in conflict zones, including in Gaza.

• Many House Democrats grappled bitterly about the vote over concerns with Israel's conduct in Gaza and the inclusion of aid for Gaza and other humanitarian crisis spots.

GO DEEPER: U.S. urges Israel to "be careful and strategic" regarding response to Iran attack

Editor's note: This story was corrected to show the $26 billion for Israel includes roughly $9 billion for humanitarian aid (not $26 billion for military aid to Israel).

#OTD in Irish History | 18 April:

1608 – Sir Cahir O’Doherty of Inishowen revolted and sacked Derry. 1689 – Siege of Derry began. In 1688, James II, a Catholic, was deposed by his Protestant daughter, Mary, and her husband, William of Orange, in a bloodless coup known as the Glorious Revolution. James fled to France and in 1689 landed in Ireland, hoping to incite his Catholic supporters there and regain the British throne. Aided…

So currently, Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ is in the middle of a major corruption scandal that's already see the resignation of the Director General and the ruined reputation of the man they touted as their "biggest star".

But the thing I find funny is that you're still able to get unbiased reporting on this from the RTÉ News website.

A quote from a recent article:

The latest information has sent shock waves through the political system which is now braced for RTÉ resignations. This revelation has been described as highly significant and there is a view that it signals a level of dysfunction and disarray beyond what emerged last week.

It's being reported that a lot of people within the organization are absolutely furious about all this, and I can genuinely believe it.

RTé reviews Muse

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

Label: A&E Records (Warner Bros) Year: 2006 Duration: 45 minutes

4/5 stars

By Bill Lehane

On 'Black Holes and Revelations' Muse show that their music continues to mix the dark and ominous with the purely playful to enjoyable effect.

'Take A Bow' announces the arrival of their fourth album with rising power chords, batches of synthesised loops and harmonised vocals of damnation. Taken together it's an aural onslaught that almost sounds overblown enough to make the composer of the 'Flash Gordon' theme tune blush; pure Muse in other words.

Skyward piano notes and shuttle engine guitars launch 'Starlight', a sweet-sounding space rock love song that is entirely irony-free. It's as if The Darkness had never existed.

While much has been reported of Muse taking on a new found funk style, in truth this is only in evidence on the Prince-like 'Supermassive Black Hole'. If it wasn't for the vocoder, guitar effects pedals and apocalyptic theme this groovy, syncopated shuffle could sit comfortably on a Franz Ferdinand album.

You could be forgiven for humming REM's 'Everybody Hurts' at the start of 'Soldier's Poem', a meditation on the war in Iraq taken from the lesser heard perspective of a British soldier. It shows Muse can hold back the instrumentation and create a plaintive political statement.

The relative calm is fleeting however. As if to bridge the gap back into normal service, a military drum beat opens 'Invincible', a slow burning romance that is classic Muse material, combining ascending guitars, crashing percussion and roaring vocals.

Perhaps the main difference between this album and Muse's popular last outing, 'Absolution', is the group's relative restraint on string arrangements. Having said this, there is a string section, both unplugged and plugged guitars and a trumpet on another highlight, 'City Of Delusion', an unashamedly prog rock track that boasts couplets like "I choose to hide from the All Seeing Eye/Destroy this city of Delusion".

And if this was not evidence enough of their prog rock credentials, the sleeve notes mention 'antique crushing' alongside more regular instrumental credits. Without the flaming comet of Muse, the galaxy of mainstream rock would be a dull place indeed.

KIN and Lies We Tell lead Irish Film and Television Academy Award nominations

Charlie Cox and Clare Dunne in KIN

RTÉ crime drama KIN and psychological thriller Lies We Tell lead this year's IFTA nominations.

The Irish Film and Television Academy Awards will take place on Saturday 20 April with winners being announced across 28 different categories celebrating the best of Irish film and TV drama. The Awards will be hosted for the first time by Emmy-winning broadcaster Baz Ashmawy.

RTÉ's KIN, which follows the notorious Kinsella family, has received 11 drama nominations including Best Drama, as well as Lead Actor for Francis Magee and Sam Keeley, and Lead Actress for Clare Dunne.

Michael Smiley plays a father on the edge in Obituary

Magee and Keeley are up against some strong competition with Michael Smiley (Obituary), Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) Daryl McCormack (The Woman in the Wall) also nominated. While Dunne competes with Sharon Horgan (Best Interests), Niamh Algar (Malpractice), Elva Trill (Northern Lights), Siobhán Cullen (Obituary) and Caitríona Balfe (Outlander).

The Best Drama category showcases a wealth of homegrown talent with Blue Lights, Hidden Assets, Northern Lights, Obituary and The Woman in the Wall also vying for the coveted award.

Agnes O'Casey stars in Lies We Tell

Over in the film categories Lisa Mulcahy’s gothic Irish tale, Lies We Tell, has received a whopping 13 nominations including Best Film, Lead Actor for David Wilmot, Lead Actress for Agnes O’Casey and Best Director for Mulcahy.

It will be a hotly contested battle for the Lead Actor award with Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Andrew Scott (All Of Us Strangers), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), Barry Ward (That We May Face The Rising Sun) and Pierce Brosnan (The Last Rifleman) also in the running.

Jessie Buckey stars in the romantic drama movie Fingernails

The same goes for the Lead Actress category which sees O'Casey compete with Jessie Buckley (Fingernails), Eve Hewson (Flora and Son), Saoirse Ronan (Foe), Bríd Brennan (My Sailor, My Love) and Geraldine McAlinden (Verdigris).

Also nominated for Best Film are pharmaceutical horror-thriller Double Blind, John Carney's Flora and Son, quirky sci-fi fable LOLA, John McGahern's That They May Face The Rising Sun and Patricia Kelly's debut feature film, Verdigris.

Stephen Rea will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's ceremony. The award will be presented to the Oscar-nominated actor for his outstanding contribution to the Irish and international screen industry over a career that has spanned five decades.

Responding to the Lifetime Achievement Award announcement, Rea said: "So much of Irish culture has been recovered and reimagined. Music, language, literature, theatre.

Stephen Rea will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award

"And cinema can be added to that list because of the special energy of John Boorman who produced Neil Jordan's first film Angel. And to my astonishment, my first film too. Neil thrust the script and a saxophone into my hands and suddenly I was in the movies. Well, one really original movie, which was at the beginning of a new confidence in Irish cinema.

"And now many films later, IFTA have, equally surprisingly, offered me a Lifetime Achievement Award. A lifetime of collaboration with the most generous and creative artists you could ever work with. And hang out with. Thanks to all of them. Thank you IFTA."

#OTD in 2012 – Death of Bernard Noël 'Banjo Barney' McKenna, a musician and a much-loved founding member of The Dubliners.

Barney McKenna was the last surviving founding member of the Irish folk group the Dubliners. With Luke Kelly’s powerful voice and force of nature on stage, Ronnie Drew’s gravelly memorable vocal sound, it was McKenna’s playing of the tenor banjo, coupled with John Sheahan’s fiddle, that gave the Dubliners their original instrumental quality. In the process, McKenna redefined the role of the banjo…
