Joe Duffy praises Liveline callers as he prepares for his final show
Joe Duffy has praised the callers as he prepares for his last episode of RTE's famous phone-in show on Friday afternoon. The Ballyfermot broadcaster, 69, is retiring after 37 years at the station, where he has presented Liveline for 27 years. 'It will go on. Liveline is on today, but it's on on Monday as well,' Duffy told RTE Radio ahead of his last programme at 1.45pm. He added: 'It's the voices on Liveline; the less I talk the better, I find. 'We (the media) are still trusted. In the main we are still trusted, unlike other countries. 'They're all part of our daily discourse, which is great and I hope that continues.' Duffy joined RTE as a radio producer in 1989 and came to prominence as a reporter on the Gay Byrne Show. He presented programmes such as Soundbyte before taking over Liveline from Marian Finucane in 1998, attracting some 400,000 listeners to the phone-in programme. He said hearing his Dublin working-class accent on the national broadcaster had prompted some 'green-ink letters' of complaint, some of which were internal. Among Liveline's most famous episodes were callers with thoughts on the television series Normal People, people sharing stories of corporal punishment in Ireland over the decades, and women talking about menopause. Duffy said the only time he has been physically threatened during his tenure was over discussions about the closure of 'headshops', which sold drugs paraphernalia, where he said a man confronted him in a car park. Asked about whether he would run for the presidency in the autumn, Duffy said: 'I will not lose the run of myself.' 'I can see the Aras from Claddagh Green, I'd say that's the closest I'll ever get to it.'

Lorde fans left in shock after receiving picture of her private parts on new vinyl cover for Virgin album
Lorde fans have been left in shock after seeing what appears to be a photograph of the singer's genitals on the cover of her new vinyl. The singer, 28, had already raised eyebrows with her latest album's main artwork, which features an x-ray of her pelvis - inter-uterine device included. However, the vinyl for Virgin - Lorde's fourth studio album and first since 2021's Solar Power - is even more explicit and features what appears to be her genitals beneath a pair of see-through plastic pants. Taking to social media to express their shock, some fans worried about their family members potentially seeing the NSFW cover. They shared on X/ Twitter: 'So the new Lorde vinyl just got delivered. I was not prepared for the insert'; 'lorde really got her cat out like that on her vinyl huh?'; 'My Lorde vinyl is getting delivered to my parent's house I'm scared [sic].' Others added: 'when you open your Virgin vinyl and see lordussy'; 'should've stayed curious abt the lorde vinyl'. However, not everyone was so critical of the vinyl's artwork and others described it as 'beautiful' and far from being shocking. 'A lot of you are being very weird about the lorde vinyl cover… who tf cares if her lordeussy was out. It's just a body.'; 'Wait... Is this the new album art from Lorde that everyone is talking about? It's a beautiful photo, and the entire vinyl package is, too, but come on, it barely shows anything. No need for all the discourse. 90's Madonna would kill you all [sic].' Others said that the reaction to the vinyl was so extreme that they expected it to be a lot more explicit than it actually is. 'I really thought the lorde vinyl insert would be a lot worse than people are saying it is, you guys are kinda dramatic.' The new album features several singles, including Man of the Year, which has already proven to be a viral hit. Lorde described her latest album as 'gender broadening' and said it was inspired by her own 'coming into masculinity'. The star, who uses she/her pronouns, told Rolling Stone that she is 'in the middle, gender-wise'. Elaborating further to fellow singer Chappell Roan, Lorde said of her gender: 'I'm a woman except for the days when I'm a man.' Lorde previously shocked fans when she debuted her new album artwork and its sexually suggestive title. The jaw-dropping cover was an X-ray of what appeared to be her pelvic area, with her hip bones, belt buckle, and zipper visible. But it was one particular detail in the X-ray that got fans talking - a T-shaped object that appeared to be an IUD (intrauterine device), a type of birth control that is placed in the uterus. On her website, she claimed the album was written '100%' in blood. Lorde said she was both 'proud and scared' of the upcoming project in an email sent to fans. 'The colour of the album is clear. Like bathwater, windows, ice, spit. Full transparency. 'The language is plain and unsentimental. The sounds are the same wherever possible. 'I was trying to see myself, all the way through. I was trying to make a document that reflected my femininity: raw, primal, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual, masc. 'I'm proud and scared of this album. There's nowhere to hide. I believe the putting the deepest parts of ourselves to music is what sets us free.' Lorde is one of the highest-selling New Zealand singers of all time and her 2013 song Royals reached number one in America, eventually being certified 14 times platinum.

Lalo Schifrin obituary: composer of the Mission Impossible theme
He may not have been a secret government agent like the heroes of the Mission: Impossible TV series or Tom Cruise movies which featured his thrilling theme music, but Lalo Schifrin was an expert at covert operations thanks to his passion for a banned art form. As a jazz-mad teenager growing up in Buenos Aires in the late 1940s, he had to be sneaky in order to feed his voracious appetite for bebop. The Argentinian leader, the dictator Juan Perón, had issued a blanket ban on jazz, so there was none to be heard on the radio or in nightclubs. 'Peron had made a law that Argentinian popular music had to be promoted. And in every theatre, between movies, they had some kind of folk music act with singers doing so-called national music, which was horrible. Or, if the music was good, the singers were bad. So the people would go to the lobby, waiting for them to finish, and then they would go back to see the movie.' The young Schifrin bought his records from an American merchant marine skipper sailing from New Orleans. He would pay for the records in advance, then wait 40 days for their arrival. When he went down to the docks to collect his stash, he wore a long raincoat under which he could hide his latest acquisitions. 'In a way, I was smuggling records, but not for sale,' Schifrin said in 1996. 'They were for my own private collection.' Schifrin was born Boris Claudio Schifrin in Buenos Aires in 1932. His father, Luis, was the concertmaster for the Buenos Aires Philharmonic Orchestra, and the young Schifrin was exposed to the great classical composers from birth and classically trained on piano from a young age. Hearing Duke Ellington's music for the first time as a teen was, he said, 'like a religious conversion, and that conversion became more refined, focused and passionate when I discovered Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Bud Powell'. He briefly studied law before going to France to study music at the Paris Conservatoire, where his teachers included the composer Olivier Messiaen, and he fell in love with the edgy sounds of the modern composers. Ironically, it was there that his love for Latin American music was kindled after he attended a lecture and workshop given by the Cuban composer and author Julio Gutiérrez, who had written a book entitled Mambology. It was also in Paris that he began playing jazz professionally. He said: 'I led a double life. I was a classical pianist during the day, and a jazz musician at night.' Returning to a post-Peron Argentina in 1956, he started a big band. Later that year, Gillespie's big band toured Argentina, and Schifrin's outfit was booked to play at a reception in his honour. Gillespie liked what he heard, asked the young Argentinian if he had written the arrangements for the band and suggested he work for him in the States. Schifrin and his first wife, Silvia, moved to New York in 1958. They divorced in 1970, and Schifrin is survived by his second wife Donna (née Cockrell) and his three children — William and Frances, from his first marriage, and Ryan, all of whom work in film and TV production. Aged 26, he composed Gillespiana — a five-movement suite based in part on baroque music forms and scored for a traditional big band minus saxophones, but augmented by four French horns, two percussionists and a tuba. With Schifrin on piano, Gillespie's band performed the piece throughout Europe and the United States. It established him as a composer who could elegantly blend classical music with jazz, and it was a logical step for him to head next to Hollywood, where Elmer Bernstein and Johnny Mandel were taking the same approach to movie scores. Among the early films he scored were Cool Hand Luke (1967) and Bullitt (1968), Kelly's Heroes (1970) and Enter the Dragon (1973), along with Dirty Harry (1971) and several of its sequels. But it was the suitably 'groovy' and exciting music he wrote for the TV series Mission: Impossible in 1966 which put him on the map. It was composed before the title credits were created, and the only inspiration the producers could offer was a cryptic instruction about a 'lit fuse'. Written with an unconventional 5/4 time signature it injected, he explained: 'A little humour and lightness that didn't take itself too seriously.' Thirty years later, when the show was turned into a blockbuster action film starring Tom Cruise, the star told him that retaining the original pulsating and suspenseful theme music had been a deal-breaker when he took on the project. Since that first Mission: Impossible movie in 1996, there have been a further seven films in the series — all with that 'earworm' Schifrin theme. The most recent was released this year and made almost £400 million worldwide. Alongside his film and TV work, he was kept busy with commissions, including the grand finale music for the 1990 World Cup Championship in Italy, when The Three Tenors — Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras — sang together for the first time. He worked with Carreras and the London Symphony Orchestra on the album Friends for Life in 1992, and again with the LSO on Symphonic Impressions of Oman, a piece commissioned by the Sultan of Oman and released on CD in 2003. He was in demand as a conductor with orchestras across the world, including the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra — which recorded his Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra, featuring the soloist Angel Romero, in 1984. In the late 1980s, he was musical director of the new Paris Philharmonic Orchestra, formed with the express purpose of recording music for films, performing concerts and participating in TV shows, and he operated as both pianist and conductor for the successful series of Jazz Meets the Symphony recordings, with the LPO, through the 1990s and early 2000s. Along the way, he also wrote compositions which added Latin American influences into the mix. 'People ask me how it is that I'm so 'versatile,'' he said in 1996. 'But I say, 'I'm not versatile. I just don't see limits. To me, all music is one music.' Lalo Schifrin, pianist, composer and conductor, was born on June 21, 1932. He died on June 26, 2025, aged 93
