VIDEO: Ali Hewson and Adi Roche among UL honorary doctorates

Ali Hewson has revealed she uses any spare opportunity with husband Bono to try and persuade him to listen to certain matters of concern before he meets world leaders: “We have the odd bit of pillow talk. We have a board meeting occasionally over breakfast.”

But she also admitted: “He rarely takes my advice though, I have to tell you.”

Ali said she views the migrant crisis with disbelief and shock at what refugees are going through.
