Chilli Controversy: #LadyChiles
Chilli controversy sparks debate about Mexico’s maids; spoof video ‘Armagayddon’ trends in Ireland; and supposed restrictions on journalists in India spark #TwitterPasswords.
A national chilli dish in Mexico was served up this week with a side order of angry debate after a maid was filmed apparently taking more than her share of dinner. Her employer filmed the moment the maid was confronted and the video was posted to social media. Presenter Anne-Marie Tomchak finds out why thousands have been angrily tweeting #LadyChiles.
And we look at the satirical video ‘Armagayddon’ which was released by an Irish gay rights group and marked the beginning of the countdown to the referendum on same-sex marriages in Ireland. Anne-Marie discusses the importance of social media in the debate.
And we find out why social media restrictions on journalists in India have ignited the trend #TwitterPasswords.
Anne-Marie Tomchak is joined in the studio by fellow Irish Â鶹Éç journalist Ciara Riordan, and from Mexico by the Â鶹Éç correspondent Will Grant.
The programme was produced by India Rakusen.
