Friday Lites:
There’s nothing like a good murder mystery and the new Netflix series Bodkin is no exception. Not only does it have some very funny commentary about its small-town Ireland setting, but we’re also fans of the fact that it doesn’t feature the grisly violence of so many other shows.
And for when you're looking for something warm and tasty to whip up this easy tinned tuna pasta recipe is a great shout. It’s hearty and cozzie livs friendly.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) made headlines recently when its chief prosecutor applied for arrest warrants for the leaders of Israel and Hamas - accusing them of war crimes in Gaza. It’s a controversial move that has divided world leaders… It's also prompted a few Squizers to request an explainer on how the ICC works. So, in this Shortcut, we’ll look at the court’s role in the world, how it operates, and why its case against Israeli and Hamas leaders has sparked a heated global debate. 
Squiz recommends:
Listening: The ABC’s Global Roaming podcast - Who’s Afraid of the ICC? It gives a good outline of the proposed arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders and what could happen next.
Reading: The BBC's article about the ICC and how it functions - What does the ICC do?
